The World Bank says that Bangladesh has to take the big shock of the global crisis. Due to instability in the world energy market, it has become difficult to supply electricity to households or industries in the country. The trade deficit continues to widen as import costs rise and is likely to widen further.

However, the government is making various efforts to deal with the situation. High fuel prices are leading to load-shedding in power savings, reducing factory opening times, making it difficult to buy luxury goods. All of this is saving dollars.

However, the World Bank believes that the economy of Bangladesh will return to its previous pace in the financial year 2023-24 after the ongoing crisis. The organization is giving a glimpse that the GDP growth will increase to 6.2 percent.

The ongoing crisis is not only for Bangladesh, but many countries in the world will fall under the grip of recession, the World Bank has said.
