Foreign debt rises 3.65% in Q2

The country’s foreign loans grew by 3.65% to $114.98 billion in the April-June quarter compared with the previous three-month period, according to data unveiled by the Bangladesh Bank.

Public sector foreign debt grew by $4.19 billion to $95.10 billion, largely owing to funding support the development partners provided to help the government tide over the Middle East fuel supply disruptions.

On the other hand, private sector foreign debt fell in the April-June quarter from January-March.
