Bangladesh’s foreign exchange reserves have reached US$34.10 billion, according to the latest data released by the central bank on Sunday.

However, under the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) Balance of Payments and International Investment Position Manual (BPM-6) calculation method, the country’s reserves stand at $29.38 billion.

The BPM-6 methodology, followed by the IMF, provides a more standardised measure of usable reserves by excluding certain funds that are not readily available for balance of payments support.
