DHAKA, 28 November 2022, (TON): Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday said that after helping Sri Lanka with a currency swap, many countries communicated with her to get the same kind of assistance from Bangladesh.
She said “we have assisted Sri Lanka from our (forex) reserves. After that, I received requests from many countries."
In May 2021, Bangladesh cleared a $200 million currency swap for Sri Lanka to help boost its economy. It was the first-ever loan to any country from Bangladesh, given under the currency swap agreement inked by the Bangladesh Bank and the Central Bank of Sri Lanka.
