Reassessment of cover policy for Bangladesh
In Bangladesh, the government led by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was unexpectedly overthrown last week. This came after mass protests had rocked the country in the weeks before. A technocratic interim government has already been put in place.
Major factors adding to the current uncertainty include how long this interim government will now remain in power and the result of any potential new elections. A return to political stability and a continued commitment to reforms under the IMF programme will be key to a positive outcome.
In light of current events, SERV’s cover policy has been temporarily changed to ‘in review’ for all categories. More information about cover policies can be found here: Cover policy by country.
