Forex reserves slip below $36 billion

Bangladesh's foreign exchange reserves have dipped below $36 billion due to high import payments against the slower than expected export earnings.

The reserves stood at $35.98 billion on Wednesday, down from $36.11 billion a day ago, according to data from Bangladesh Bank.

The country's reserves stood at $46.19 billion on October 19 last year.
