Bangladesh's private power producers are seeking $1 billion in foreign currency to import fuel oil and avert a potential power crisis this summer, Bloomberg News reported on Tuesday, citing a letter by an industry body to the central bank.
A Bangladesh Central Bank spokesperson told Bloomberg that the letter was being reviewed, and the bank would assess if the demand was in line with the government's priority.
