520 |a This paper presents Bangladesh’s Requests for an Extended Arrangement under the Extended Fund Facility, an Arrangement under the Extended Credit Facility, and an Arrangement under the Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF). The authorities are concurrently requesting access to the RSF to meet large climate financing needs. IMF proposes access at SDR 1000 million under the RSF, in which access at the maximum nominal limit is justified by the strength and breadth of the proposed reforms, the balance of payment need associated with the implementation of reform measures, and sound capacity to repay the IMF. The Letter of Intent and Memorandum of Economic and Financial Policies demonstrate program ownership and appropriate policies to reach the goals of the authorities’ program. The main risk to the program is limited scope to relax fiscal or monetary policy in the event of additional adverse real shocks, given narrowing fiscal space, high inflation, and reserve losses. The 42-month program will help preserve macroeconomic stability, protect the vulnerable, and foster inclusive and green growth. Reforms will focus on creating fiscal space to enable greater social and developmental spending; strengthening the financial sector; modernizing policy frameworks; and building climate resilience
