Bangladesh Bank has provided nearly Tk 53,000 crore in loans to 12 financially weak banks by printing money. This financial assistance, offered under guarantees and special facilities, has been ongoing since September last year. Despite this massive infusion, these banks have yet to recover.
Governor Ahsan H. Mansur has repeatedly stated that no more money will be printed to support weak banks. However, reports reveal that as recently as two business days before Eid, the central bank extended Tk 3,000 crore in loans to five banks. Facing severe liquidity crises, these banks received funds at 10% interest against DP (Deposit) notes for a 90-day term.
টাকা ছাপিয়ে দুর্বল ১২ ব্যাংককে প্রায় ৫৩ হাজার কোটি টাকা ধার দিয়েছে বাংলাদেশ ব্যাংক। গত বছরের সেপ্টেম্বর থেকে এ পর্যন্ত গ্যারান্টি ও বিশেষ সুবিধার আওতায় এসব ঋণসহায়তা দেওয়া হয়। তবুও ঘুরে দাঁড়াতে পারছে না ব্যাংকগুলো।
