Flow of External Resources into Bangladesh

Preface

 

I am delighted to learn that Economic Relations Division (ERD), like in the past years, is bringing out its flagship publication “Flow of External Resources into Bangladesh”. Since independence Bangladesh has been following a prudential borrowing policy focusing on securing grants and concessional loans for development projects. This enabled external public debt stock to remain in a comfort zone which evidently is reflected in this document. Since last year an executive summary and methodology of compilation of data have been introduced to this publication for clarity of understanding of the data presented. The overview of the book is made more meaningful and attractive with color graphs illustrating major trends, composition and comparison of important variables of external debt. The policy makers, researchers, academics, students and other readership acclaimed this publication and found it useful in their work. I express my thanks and appreciation to the officers of ERD for their efforts in bringing out the thirty-fifth edition of this document. I hope that ERD would continue publishing this document and at the same time make every effort to improve its scope, analysis and presentation of data.

2.            The book presents updated information on resource flows into Bangladesh from multilateral and bi-lateral development partners and records of amortization of loans. The document provides information on other non-ODA debts which are coordinated by ERD. External loans utilized by Ministry of Food and Disaster Management and the parastatals like Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation (BPC), Bangladesh Shipping Corporation (BSC) and Biman Bangladesh Airlines Ltd are also recorded at aggregate levels. A summary data on borrowings from International Monetary Fund (IMF), external debts of autonomous, semi-autonomous and corporate bodies and grants extended to the Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) are also included in this book. Public debt relating to defense establishment and private sector debt remain outside the remit of the publication.

3.            The publication is put together on the basis of information available with ERD and supplemented, where necessary, by the reports of the development partners, the Bangladesh Bank and other corporate bodies. Some figures shown in the report may need to be revised, based on feedback from the development partners.

4.            The external aid flow book is an outcome of hard work meticulously put in by officers and staffs of Foreign Aid Budget and Accounts (FABA) branch of ERD. Any suggestions for further improvement of the publication are most welcome. If any discrepancy comes to the notice of the readership or any clarification needed, ERD may please be contacted.
