The central bank is set to publish information about the import for the Rooppur nuclear power plant project separately, officials said.
The import data of July 2018 will be made available soon.
"We'll publish import information about the Rooppur plant under a separate head of our regular monthly statement," a senior official of the Bangladesh Bank (BB) said.
The BB has taken the initiative in line with its board of directors' decisions to make public the actual import situation, according to the central banker.
He also said the new head will be included under 'others' import category.
Bangladesh's overall import orders recorded an all-time high of US$ 16.10 billion in November 2017 when the letter of credit (LC) of a large amount was opened for the Rooppur nuclear power plant.
State-run Bangladesh Atomic Energy Commission (BAEC) opened the LC worth $ 11.38 billion through the government-owned Sonali Bank Limited to import different items, including capital machinery, according to the BB officials.
