Bangladesh’s foreign exchange reserves have stood at $32.15 billion, the Bangladesh Bank announced on Wednesday.

However, when calculated using the International Monetary Fund (IMF) methodology under the Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual (BPM6), the country’s official reserves are reported at $27.35 billion.

The difference reflects variations in accounting standards. The BPM6 framework excludes certain items such as special deposits, funds held in non-resident accounts, and unutilized portions not considered readily available for external payments.

The central bank continues to maintain adequate reserve levels to support macroeconomic stability and ensure confidence in the national currency amid evolving global economic conditions.
