Finance Minister AMA Muhith yesterday said the government has not decided yet to issue sovereign bond to collect fund from global market and would think about it next year.
“The government may think about issuing sovereign bond next year,” he told journalists, after a meeting with a visiting team of US-based leading global financial services firm and bank JPMorgan Chase & Co, headed by Madhad Kallyan.
The government had taken a plan to issue the bond to collect fund for financing construction of infrastructure in the country.
The team informed the minister about the interest of sovereign bond which is now ranging between 4% and 5%, observing that Bangladesh would not get big financial benefit from issuing the bond in the international market.
“We do not want big fund for construction of infrastructure projects as the government has now a good reserve of foreign exchange,” said the minister.
