Bangladesh's trade deficit hit a historic high of $30.81 billion in the first 11 months of the 2021-22 fiscal year, intensifying the pressure on the macroeconomy.
The country has been facing the higher trade deficit in recent months due to the escalation of imports against lower exports.
Trade deficit in the first 11 months of FY21 stood at $20.70 billion, according to data from the Bangladesh Bank.
