Bangladesh will not face Sri Lanka type crisis, PM

DHAKA, 05 September 2022, (TON): Dismissing concerns that Bangladesh could go the Sri Lanka way, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said that despite the Covid-19 onslaught and the conflict in Ukraine, her country's economy continued to be in robust shape and that her regime exercised a high level of diligence when taking any loans.

In an interaction with South Asia’s leading multimedia news agency ANI, she said “currently the world as a whole was facing challenges which were not restricted only to Bangladesh."

She said "our economy, still it is very strong. Though, we faced this Covid-19 pandemic, now the Ukraine-Russia war. That has its effect here. But in debt rate, Bangladesh always pays timely all the debts. So our debt rate is very low.”

He added “in context of Sri Lanka, our economy trajectory and the development, it is (planned) very, very calculative.”
