Bangladesh is facing a major remittance loss due to Covid-19 The New Nation International remittances make up 7 per cent of Bangladesh s GDP, but Covid-19 has adversely impacted its migrants working in countries with strict lockdowns 23 February 2021
Amil Aneja and Sheikh Tanjeb Islam :
The economic importance of the more than 10 million migrants from Bangladesh who sent close to $18 billion in 2019 cannot be overstated. International remittances normally represent around 7% of Bangladesh s GDP. But the COVID-19 pandemic is having an acute effect on Bangladeshi migrants abroad, who are largely concentrated in countries with strict lockdown measures. Considering the large volume of Bangladeshi migrants in the Middle East, secondary economic impacts through depressed demand and falling oil prices will also likely add strain to the flow of remittances.
