The country’s import volume has soared 9.7 per cent year-on-year to $4.82 billion in November last year, showing a sign of recovery in financial activities amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Economist and executive director of Policy Research Institute of Bangladesh (PRI) Ahsan H. Mansur sees the rise in imports as a good sign for the country’s economy, explaining that a rise in imports means increasing investment and impetus to the economy as a whole.
“Bangladesh’s economy will soon start to see growth again if this trend continues over the next few months,” he said.
