The Maldives has requested a loan from the Bangladeshi government.
According to Bangladeshi media, the Maldives government has approached Bangladesh for a long-term loan.
Bangladeshi central bank Governor Fazle Kabir confirmed that the Maldives had sought a longer-term loan, adding that Bangladesh was “actively considering” issuing one.
Details about the loan request have not been disclosed by either country, although Vice President Faisal Naseem visited Bangladesh on an official visit in November, and preparations for a prospective visit to Maldives by Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina have previously been announced.
