IMF published this video item, entitled “Combating the Crisis Together | Bangladesh” – below is their description.
Bangladesh exemplifies the triple blow that many emerging market countries have suffered from #COVID19: domestic slowdown caused by the disease and the efforts to contain its spread; a sharp decline in exports, particularly in the ready-made garment sector, and a drop in remittances. To help Bangladesh during this crisis, the IMF has approved emergency loans totaling around $732 million.
