Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has placed a six-point proposal at Munich Security Conference, urging world leaders to unlock funds for the nations suffering from climate change, and end the arms race to divert resources into climate financing. "Senseless arms-race must be stopped and resources need to be diverted into mobilising the much-needed fund for fighting climate change. In the first of the six proposals, the Bangladesh premier said, "We must find solutions to unlock climate financing to keep us on track by implementing the six suggestions." She reiterated that developed countries must fulfil their commitment to provide $100 billion per year up to 2025, based on a delivery plan. "And, by the end of this year, we all must agree on a new climate financing target for post-2025, preferably above $100 billion, on the basis of scientific evidence," she said.

Bangladesh’s economy has posted a 6.07 percent growth in the first quarter of 2023-24 fiscal year, down from 8.76 percent in the same period a year ago and 6.24 percent in the previous quarter. The Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics published the data on gross domestic product for the July-September period on Thursday – the first quarterly GDP data by the national statistical agency. The national economy, along with the others around the world, took a hit in the 2019-20 fiscal year with only 3.45 percent growth, the lowest in decades, because of the coronavirus pandemic after a record 8.15 percent growth in 2018-19. Bangladesh tackled the crisis and turned around with 6.94 percent growth in 2020-21 and 7.1 percent in 2021-22.
