Bangladesh has a three-and-a-half-year loan programme with the IMF. Bangladesh's letter last year seeking a loan from the global lender stated that Bangladesh will lose 2 percent of its gross domestic product (GDP) by mid-century and 9 percent of its GDP by the end of the century due to climate change.
Apart from this, the government prepared a 100-year delta plan as well as a five-year medium-term plan to deal with the effects of climate change.
