Finance Minister Amir Khasru announced that the new national budget includes major initiatives to restore discipline in Bangladesh’s banking and financial sectors. Presenting the budget on Thursday, he said the reforms aim to revive the economy and sustain investment flows by reducing default loans, ensuring transparency in loan approval and rescheduling, and strengthening accountability in bank management. A risk-based supervision system will be introduced to rebuild weak banks’ financial capacity, with recapitalization and management reforms as needed.
The minister stated that about Tk 40,000 crore has already been spent this fiscal year to recapitalize weak banks, alongside restructuring efforts to return depositors’ funds. The budget also includes measures to repatriate money laundered abroad. Political appointments and interference in bank operations are to be stopped through legal amendments, while international standards for risk management, capital adequacy, and corporate governance will be enforced to make financial institutions more stable and competitive.
The budget further outlines structural reforms in the banking and capital markets to build a modern and sustainable financial system and shift from a debt-driven to an investment-based economy by promoting domestic and foreign investment and developing the bond market.
