Foreign exchange reserves are the stock of foreign currency and gold Bangladesh Bank holds to pay for imports and defend the taka. Bangladesh publishes reserves on a ladder of definitions — gross reserves, the IMF’s BPM6 measure, and net usable reserves — and press reports frequently mix the rungs. This series follows the BPM6 measure consistently.
Reserves are conventionally judged in months of import cover. They move with the trade balance, remittance inflows, external debt service, and IMF programme disbursements.
