International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva today praised the leadership of Professor Muhammad Yunus, crediting him for Bangladesh’s remarkable economic turnaround since assuming office as Chief Adviser of the interim government.
Georgieva spoke with Professor Yunus over phone from Washington, D.C. this evening, said a press release issued by Chief Adviser’s Press Wing here.
During their conversation, they discussed Bangladesh’s ongoing economic reforms, the regional landscape, and key challenges facing the country ahead of the general election scheduled for February, 2026.
“I am impressed by what you have achieved,” said Georgieva, referring to the state of the economy when Professor Yunus assumed leadership in August last year.
“You’ve done so much in such a short time. You took responsibility for your country when the risk of deterioration was very high. You are the right person at the right time,” she added.
Georgieva particularly commended the stabilisation of the foreign exchange market and the recovery of foreign reserves following the government’s bold decision to introduce market-based exchange rate.বিস্তারিত
