Prime
Minister Sheikh Hasina today directed all concerned to take necessary measures
so that Bangladesh could maintain its current position in future regarding the
foreign debt, as the amount of foreign loans to Bangladesh is still far below
the risk limit.
The
premier issued this directive while witnessing a presentation on "offshore
tax amnesty" and "review of Bangladesh's macro economy against the
backdrop of Sri Lankan economic crisis" at her official residence
Ganabhaban, said a press release of the Prime Minister's Press Wing.
During
the presentation made by National Board of Revenue (NBR) and Finance Division,
the reasons of the ongoing economic crisis in Sri Lanka and its response were
discussed in detail alongside reviewing various indicators of Bangladesh's
economy compared to other countries in South Asia.
The
release said that analyzing the various indicators of the economy, it was seen
that there is no risk of repaying the foreign debt of Bangladesh in the medium
and long terms. Almost all the indices indicate that the economy of Bangladesh
is relatively stable.
It,
however, said special emphasis was given on the implementation of an integrated
revenue policy and monetary policy to control inflation in the domestic market
in the context of abnormal price spiral of fuel, food products and other items
in the international market.
