1. What would be the approximate/probable amount of financial income/profit/benefit (In US dollar and Bangladesh taka) of Bangladesh and India respectively after receipt and expenditure by Bangladesh one billion dollar loan from India?
2. Would Bangladesh receive one billion dollar loan from Indian Exim Bank at a time or in several instalments? When will the payment of the loan be made in full?
3. What are the terms and conditions of the loan? Why was the loan agreement signed all of a sudden?
4. Why was the loan agreement signed between our government (Economic Relations Division) and Indian Exim Bank? Why not between Indian government (Economic Relations Division) and Bangladesh Exim Bank, Agrani or Janata Bank?

6. Out Finance Minister A.M.A Muhith says Bangladesh government will utilise the loan mainly for rail and road communication projects which will be approved by Bangladesh government whereas the Indian Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee says the two countries will identify the projects. Which statement is correct?
