Financing

Financing
Project cost is estimated to be US$3.00 billion. The
Padma Multipurpose Bridge (PMB) project was designed
to be funded by donors such as the World Bank, Japan
International Cooperation Agency (JICA), Asian
Development Bank (ADB) and Islamic Development
Bank (IDB). After a scandal of alleged corruption by some
people associated with project preparation the World Bank
withdrew its commitment and other donors followed. The
project is now being funded from own resources of
Government of Bangladesh.

Controversy

Controversy
From the beginning the Padma bridge negotiation

has been involved to corruption and conspiracy.

The World Bank stated that they found, "credible
evidence corroborated by a variety of sources
which points to a high-level corruption
conspiracy among Bangladeshi government
officials.
For the corruption, the World Bank turned down
to sanction the proposed loan for constructing
the bridge.

Controversy
The World Bank said that, it is their responsibility

to make sure IDA resources are used for their

intended purposes.
The World Bank has decided to cancel its $1.2
billion IDA credit in support of the Padma
Multipurpose Bridge project.
In these circumstances World Bank imposed
some conditions to continue the loan talk with the
government.
