While Bangladesh Bank was seeing various challenges looming over the country’s economy, two ministers yesterday said the condition of the economy was improving. “Due to the ongoing global crisis, the foreign exchange reserves are under pressure for legitimate reasons but we have gradually managed to deal with it,” Planning Minister MA Mannan said. “The country seems to have handled the fluctuations of inflation well,” he said while delivering a speech at a meeting of the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council (Ecnec). In its latest policy statement, Bangladesh Bank said the near-term economic outlook seemed to be quite stable but was critically dependent on three external issues. A bumper yield of the current Aman season paddy and the abundance of winter vegetables in the market have played a major role in controlling inflation, according to Mannan. “We hope that the level of inflation will come down further in the near future,” said the minister.
