3.3 Active loans of Bangladesh from Japan
The total amount of active loans disbursed by
Japan to Bangladesh began to increase after
2013.
In 2019 Japan provided the highest active
loan to Bangladesh, amassing around JPY
326 billion.
Loans granted in this year mostly contributed
towards development and construction
projects such as the Matarbari sea port,
Dhaka Mass Rapid Transit, and Matarbari
Ultra Super Critical Coal-Fired Power Project.
However, after 2019 the amount of active
loans provided by Japan to Bangladesh has
been gradually decreasing collecting to JPY
252 billion in 2021. This loan was also
provided for the development of Metro Rail
and Coal Fired Power Project in Matarbari.
JICA will provide $1.1 billion in loans for the
MRT Line 1, and about $1.2 billion for the
Coal-Fired Power Project in Matarbari,
according to ERD officials stated in a recent
news
Japan.
