Similar to many other Asian nations, Bangladesh's economy is also facing a sudden increase in cost of living, mainly due to the ongoing Ukraine conflict.&nbsp;

To help Bangladesh cope with soaring prices,&nbsp;the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on Wednesday announced $4.5 billion in assistance for the Asian country.

IMF team leader Rahul said, " Bangladesh's robust economic recovery from the pandemic has been interrupted by Russia's war in Ukraine, leading to a sharp widening of the current account deficit, the rapid decline of foreign exchange reserves, rising inflation and slowing growth."

The 170 million people nation requested assistance earlier this year, followed by a $4.5 billion deal for its 'economic objectives.' As per the official stats, the country's inflation rate is near 10 per cent, however, many independent analysts claimed the rate to be easily around 20 per cent, AFP reported.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The IMF loan will mostly be used to bolster Bangladesh's foreign exchange reserves which drastically fell from $46 billion to $34 billion. The currency has lost nearly 25 per cent to the US dollar in the past few months.&nbsp;

By 2031, the country aims to move ahead of its designation as a 'Least Developed Country' and be counted among 'middle-income countries.'

Bangladesh will also advocate for major climate actions and look for more funding. Sri Lanka, another South Asian country falls under the category and has asked for IMF assistance because of the economic crisis the country has been facing.&nbsp;
