B Mirror Report: Bangladesh’s foreign exchange reserves rose to $34.86 billion, according to the latest data released by the Bangladesh Bank.
However, under the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual, Sixth Edition (BPM-6) methodology, the country’s reserves stood lower at $30.11 billion, the central bank said.
The difference reflects the IMF’s stricter accounting framework, which excludes certain funds such as short-term liabilities and other non-liquid assets from the gross reserve calculation.
