Foreigners working in Bangladesh sent home $137 million in 2022, World Bank data showed although analysts believe the exact figure would be much higher since many people from other nations are employed in the country without valid permits. The outflow was up 37 per cent from a year ago when it stood at $100 million, according to the new estimate of the Global Knowledge Partnership on Migration and Development (KNOMAD), an initiative of the Washington-based lender. One of them is the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority, which approved 15,128 applications seeking work permits in 2021-22, up 87.32 per cent from the previous year. The applicants came from 106 countries. The permits are for foreign nationals who are engaged in Bida-registered industrial projects, commercial offices, and other organisations. In 2020, the Transparency International Bangladesh (TIB) said an estimated $3.1 billion was siphoned away every year by foreign nationals employed in the country.
