Bangladesh Bank has simplified the process for foreign investors to repatriate funds from share transfers and sales in unlisted public and private companies. According to a circular issued on Sunday, investors can now send up to Tk 100 crore abroad without prior central bank approval, a tenfold increase from the previous Tk 10 crore limit. The decision aims to attract more foreign investment by reducing procedural delays and increasing flexibility for non-resident investors.
The new directive allows banks to approve repatriations independently if the transaction value is within Tk 100 crore and based on fair value determined by an independent valuer. Transactions exceeding this limit can also be processed by banks if they do not surpass the company’s latest audited net asset value. For small transactions up to Tk 1 crore, no independent valuation report is required. Banks must form internal committees led by senior executives to ensure transparency and compliance.
The circular aligns valuation methods with International Valuation Standards 2025 and sets strict timelines, requiring banks to complete fund transfers within five working days if no irregularities are found. All completed transactions must be reported to Bangladesh Bank within 14 days.
