Bangladesh's fiscal future, with Finance Minister Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury

Eight months after Bangladesh elected a new government, its economic agenda is crowded. The country is set to graduate from least developed country status in November 2026. And Dhaka is also negotiating a new arrangement with the IMF after stepping away from the previous program. Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury, minister of finance and planning, discusses plans and policies for Bangladesh's financial future. This event is part of the Atlantic Council GeoEconomics Center's on-the-ground coverage of the 2026 IMF-World Bank Annual Meetings in Bangkok, Thailand. #IMFWBAM2026
