The release of the fourth tranche of Bangladesh鈥檚 $4.7 billion budget support loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has been deferred until March, primarily due to scheduling adjustments caused by natural disasters.

A senior official at Bangladesh Bank (BB) told to UNB that the matter was initially set for discussion in the IMF executive board meeting on February 5. But the meeting has been postponed, with the new date set for March 12.
