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.
