Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2024, Bangladesh's IMF repurchases and charges (TDS, current US$) rose US$90.4 million on 2023 (from US$351.27 million to US$441.66 million).

This year's change was 1.7 standard deviations above that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was US$156.85 million in 2023 and the biggest yearly fall was US$77.74 million in 1981. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is upward, about US$43.63 million a year. A straight line explains 85% of the movement over 10 observed years.
