Recent activity

Provenance & notes

Operational in Bangladesh since 2012. AFD's own country page reports over EUR 2 billion committed in loans plus EUR 47.2 million in grants since 2013; cumulative_commitment_usd left null because figures are in EUR not USD and the schema requires USD. Modality is mixed (sovereign loans plus grants/technical assistance). bd_office_head left null: Benoit Chassatte was reported at the end of his four-year term in April 2024, and the current head is not confirmed.
