Thank you, Professor Muhammad Yunus, for your dedicated service to the nation. From Crisis to Comeback (2024-2026), Dr. Yunus Leaves Behind a Strong Bangladesh.
From $19 billion to $34 billion in reserves,
while also paying off a massive 21 lakh crore taka debt burden!
Could anyone else have achieved such an extraordinary economic recovery?
When he took office, the country was like a stalled engine.
About $234 billion had been siphoned out, the banking sector was left devastated, and foreign reserves had nearly hit rock bottom.
Do you know how much $234 billion is in Bangladeshi currency?
It equals 28,662,004,800,000 taka!
He was given only 18 months.
Yet within this short time, he accomplished remarkable milestones:
He pulled the foreign reserve from $19 billion to $34 billion. A nation once fearful of creditors can now breathe with relief.
He secured a trade agreement with the United States, reducing tariffs from 37% to 19% — a lifeline for Bangladesh’s garment sector. Strategic partnership progress with Japan and advancement of the Teesta project with China also took place during this period.
Thank you, Professor Muhammad Yunus, for your dedicated service to the nation. From Crisis to Comeback (2024-2026), Dr. Yunus Leaves Behind a Strong Bangladesh.
