Bangladesh: Bangladesh will not face Sri Lanka-like crisis, US ambassador

DHAKA, 01 June 2022, (TON): The United States does not see any Sri Lanka-like situation in Bangladesh, noting that Bangladesh is a country that has done extremely well in terms of debt management with careful borrowing and a strong foreign currency reserve.

US Ambassador to Bangladesh Peter Haas said “basically Bangladesh is not Sri Lanka۔"

He also mentioned that Bangladesh has taken a small amount of loan from China.

The ambassador, however, said it does not mean that Bangladesh's economy does not face challenges - with inflation and growing food prices.

He was responding to questions at “DCAB Talk” organized by the Diplomatic Correspondents Association, Bangladesh at the National Press Club.
