The Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the government on Monday signed agreements for $50 million in additional loan to help restore the economic activities of microenterprises in Bangladesh, which have been severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Country Director of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in Bangladesh Manmohan Parkash has said a carefully-crafted exit strategy that draws a fine balance between normalising socioeconomic activities and containing the spread of virus is needed for Bangladesh.
