Last week bangla no longer required the IMF/WB loans..😂…..the begging bowl is still hot on the handouts but the IMF is calling the shots……just shows what flannel merchants are running the govt…..trying to show the world they no longer need loans to hook investors but behind the cloak the handouts are still a necessity

Bangladesh's wait for the fourth and fifth tranches of the $4.7 billion IMF loan is set to linger as discussions with the global lender remain inconclusive.

"No decision yet. Discussions with the IMF will continue," a senior finance ministry official told TBS, requesting anonymity due to the sensitivity of the matter.

That article from searcher earlier…….the green fookwit lobby still raking up the fact 3x paid protesters were killed in demos all those years ago!!…….yet the Bangladeshi tigers kill on average 22 innocent people every year and yet the green cuckoos are giving these cats more space and liberation to munch their way through the general public 😂…….that’s fine but 3x bloody tree huggers from over 10yrs ago have been martyred while the country rots economically……

Thanks searcher……good post 👍

Looks like smiler isn’t letting his non press freedom report her return either…….nothing mainstream

Sorry that should have read $2.5bln Mn………frightening that nearly half the entire yearly tax revenue is blown on imported fuel/energy….🙄

Just to put the $13bln requirement for external energy in perspective,tax revenue in Bangla 2024 was $2.5bln..!!……

Apologies if this has been seen 👍

Energy expert Professor Ijaz Hossain urged the government to triple its gas exploration efforts to reduce import dependence. “The government can even issue ‘Gas Bonds’ to finance exploratory drilling,” he suggested.

He also recommended the formation of a new company dedicated to exploratory drilling, partnering with international firms that have reservoir and drilling expertise.

“We’ve been neglecting our domestic energy resources—gas, coal, and renewables. Our only focus seems to be on imports, which require dollars,” Prof. Hossain said in frustration during a recent seminar organised by the Forum for Energy Research and Budget (FERB).

Speaking on the issue of external payments in the energy and power sectors, Muhammad Fauzul Kabir Khan, adviser to the Ministry of Power and Energy, told Just Energy News, “We have, in principle, decided to clear all dues in the power and energy sectors by December 2025.”

He added that the government is exploring various options to reduce both internal and external costs in the power and energy sector.

It is worth noting that Bangladesh will need approximately $13 billion in total to cover external payments in the power and energy sectors in 2025.

Oh and it was literally the end of March the government was going to build a coal extraction policy for the incoming government to implement lol…..yes end of bloody March 😂…….incase you trading numpties can’t work that out it was about 35 days ago!…..or just over a month lol……the work going on in the background is just that,building a future energy policy involving the vast reserves of bangla coal!!…….jeez the country is covered in super power plants!!…..they just need feeding with cheaper quality coal 🙄

Most of these fickle day traders are filtered but to cut it short,if anyone gets cold feet because of this feeble swing trading patter I would sooner not have that sort of investment under pinning the share price……and the share price will look after itself when the news of mining development ramps up……..if you have done your homework that’s all that matters 😉

I personally have never heard anything so crazy as to do flyers and adverts to get the attention of the cuckoo govt trade body!!…..sums up the grande incompetence of this bunch of sharks…….beginning to think now they are lining their own pockets and the longer they can grasp power the more lining they can do……Grammeen features significantly in the background imho…….the poorer the country becomes the bigger demand on their extortionate loans……..

A severe gas supply crisis has suddenly emerged in the textile sector, including ready-made garments, which is the country’s top export-earning sector. As a result, industrialists and exporters have become deeply concerned. The crisis has prompted four industry associations to issue advertisements in the media to draw the government's attention.

Sobering read……

THE interim government under Muhammad Yunus touted progressive change, but its approach to tax reform has been deeply misguided. Instead of broadening the tax base and slashing exemptions for the wealthy, the regime tinkered around the edges — promising to remove ‘some’ concessions but failing to tackle the deep-rooted capture of fiscal policy by elite interests. The result is continued revenue under-performance, with tax-to-GDP ratios stuck below 10 per cent despite the fiscal squeeze. Worse still, reports emerged that Grameen Bank — Yunus’s own creation — received a new five-year tax exemption shortly after his advisers granted it, raising uncomfortable questions about whose interests are really being protected. Ordinary Bangladeshis bear the burden: as prices of everyday goods climb, the poor shoulder the full weight of adjustment, while cronies and well-connected enterprises enjoy modest relief.

Oh heck….mr three zero’s has fooked up with the zeros,the poor get poorer which means Grammeen gets busier and Yunus gets richer….wow you would think that was the plan 🙄

A fading dream of zero poverty

Every nation dreams of a poverty-free future. But for Bangladesh, that vision is fading—smothered by inflation and stymied by political uncertainty.

Clearly, ending poverty requires more than rhetoric. Without urgent, decisive action to break inflation's stranglehold, Bangladesh risks entrenching inequality and dooming another generation to poverty.

How much longer can this delusional old fart deny the masses want a bloody election asap……

indeed he has!!…..he’s selling the three zero bull****e dream to any unwary investors he can lure into his web……journos that peddle the economic/energy crisis in bangla we’re jailed or excluded…….the renewable marketing brigade must have thought all their prayers had been answered!!……an eminent green crank in charge of 170mln people but it’s not panning out as expected…….the us liberal loon backer’s have gone underground and for the next 5yrs trump and his anti corruption anti renewable policies have taken yunus oxygen away……..the heat is really on him,i doubt he knows what day it is without his jihadi organ grinders pulling his string

Well well,after all the spin from the cuckoo government saying they has ripped into the unit cost of Matabari all may not be as it seems!!…..surprise surprise the country is being run by an elderly has been who is about as much use as a chocolate fire guard

The power tariff of the coal-fired 1,200-megawatt Matarbari power plant is going to be as high as its peers, observed energy experts, saying that the government-approved power tariff made it appear as if the tariff was lower than that of the electricity purchased from similar power plants.

On April 29, the advisory committee on government purchase approved the public power plant’s power tariff at Tk 8.44 a kilowatt-hour or 7.6621 US cents a kWh, with Tk 5.84 a kWh spent as fuel cost and Tk 2.60 a kWh given as capacity charge.

This corridor implementation has really got the bnp back up……this could be the start of the end of this cuckoo govt……strong words from Tarique that I haven’t seen before

Govt bypassed public, political parties on key sovereignty issue, he says

Bangladesh's interests must come first, not foreign powers

BNP support for interim govt can't continue indefinitely

A faction is sparking conflicts by pitting reforms vs elections

Reforms and elections must go hand in hand, not replace each other

Elected govt needed to prevent return of dictatorship

Farmers and workers' voices missing in reform debates

While scrolling through Facebook, I came across a video of Dr. Muhammad Yunus’s speech on the occasion of May Day. Delivered as the chief guest at the Bangladesh-China Friendship Conference, his written speech was filled with commendable words about workers’ rights. He spoke about the contribution of workers to nation-building, the need to improve workers’ living standards to create an equitable Bangladesh, and the promise to implement the Labor Reform Commission’s recommendations. Undoubtedly, admirable sentiments. Yet, I couldn’t help but laugh. Let me explain why.

Suck on this Mr Yunus master of everyone else’s wealth distribution…..

On International Workers’ Day—globally recognized as a time to uphold labor rights and dignity—worker organizations across the country held various programs under the theme, “Workers and owners united, let’s rebuild the nation.” Among these demonstrations, a protest was held on Thursday morning by the “Grameenphone 5% Delayed Dues Collection Unity Council” at the locked gates of the GP House in the Basundhara residential area.

At around 11:00 AM, more than fifty former Grameenphone employees gathered with red cloths tied around their heads and posters strapped across their chests, expressing their demands in both Bangla and English. Slogans printed in black and white on red paper included: “May Day pledge: Blood and tears of February 25 will not go in vain. We won’t give up the 5%,” “5% is not charity, it’s a right,” and “Condemn the police attack on workers at the behest of Grameenphone.”
