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.
