First ODA loan under Japan’s POWERR Asia initiative

The program is structured on two strategic pillars: Strengthening energy resilience and enhancing economic management and governance.

Under the first pillar on energy resilience, the program supports policy actions on energy diversification and energy efficiency, contributing to stable power and energy supply by ensuring the sustainability of high-efficiency power generation facilities, strengthening grid system planning, and promoting energy conservation.

In parallel, as a second pillar, the program also supports policy actions under the economic management and governance framework, which will be co-financed in collaboration with the Asian Development Bank (ADB).

The initiative is expected to contribute to maintaining macroeconomic stability, enhancing the resilience of the energy sector, and improving the overall economic structure of the country.

The support comes at a critical time as Bangladesh continues its reform efforts to ensure sustainable and inclusive growth in an increasingly uncertain global environment.
