Foreign loan repayments cross $4 billion mark for first time
In the previous fiscal year, the amount stood at $3.37 billion.
Bangladesh’s foreign debt servicing bill surpassed \$4 billion for the first time in the 2024-25 fiscal year, reflecting a significant increase in repayment pressure.
According to provisional figures released today by the Economic Relations Division (ERD), the country repaid just over \$4 billion in the last fiscal year—up 21 percent from \$3.37 billion the year before.
The mounting repayment burden comes amid a decline in foreign aid inflows, deepening worries about the country’s external financial stability.
