If the reserves are anywhere near 40 billion by next Summer - there will be no election.
BAL will be emboldened to go for mega rigging of election.
And there will be a massive sigh of relief.
But if the reserves dwindles to less than 10 billion - BAL will not be able to stop Uncle Sam implementing regime change.
BAL better make sure, by next summer, they are able to say f*uck off to IMF/World Bank. Otherwise it’s game over!
Since the Suez Canal debacle - it has been US policy to keep Muslim countries in a continuous flux.
They know stability begets prosperity.

I have criticised Hasina for some engagement with the Saudis recently but she probably is just paying lip-service as she wants them to help BD keep its forex high through remittances.
