noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Fri, 07 May 2010 10:39:00 +0000

Manila, Philippines (BBN)- The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is extending loans totaling $266 million to facilitate Bangladesh natural gas supply in a bid to spur economic growth and cut poverty.

The ADB board of directors on Friday approved a $261 million loan from its ordinary capital resources and a further $5 million from its concessional fund for the Bangladesh Natural Gas Access Improvement Project.

“The funds will be used to build new gas transmission and distribution pipelines to meet growing demand, and to expand coverage to less developed areas in the southwest,” the ADB said, adding that the project will install compressors and metering systems to boost reliability, improve safety, and strengthen the management of gas supply and demand.

Around 200,000 new households in the southwest, along with 1,400 industrial and commercial establishments, will receive gas as a result of the expanded distribution network.

“This will boost business, generate jobs, and improve the health of vulnerable groups, such as women and the poor, who are currently exposed to harmful air pollution from burning wood and other biomass fuels indoors,” the ADB noted.

ADB’s loan, from its ordinary capital resources, has a 25-year term, including a grace period of five years, and interest determined in accordance with its LIBOR-based lending facility.

The Asian Development Fund loan has a 32-year tenor, including a grace period of 8 years, with interest set at 1 percent during the grace period and 1.5 percent for the rest of the term, according to the announcement.

The state-owned Petrobangla, Gas Transmission Company Ltd, Bangladesh Gas Fields Company Ltd, Sundarban Distribution Company Ltd, and Titas Gas Transmission and Distribution Company Ltd. are the executing agencies for the project, which is due for completion in March 2015

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 04 May 2010 13:10:00 +0000

Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh (BBN)- Bangladesh Bank (BB) has unveiled, for the first time, a small and medium enterprise (SME) credit policy and programs targeted at achieving inclusive economic growth.

BB Governor Atiur Rahman announced the policy at a discussion with chief executive officers and managing directors of the commercial banks held at Seagul Hotel in Cox’s Bazar on Thursday night with BB Deputy Governor Murshid Kuli Khan in the chair.

The new policy has focused on encouraging more women entrepreneurs in business and investment across the country.

"All banks will have to come forward to provide loans to district level borrowers and women must get priority," the central bank chief said while releasing the policy.

Under the programmers, banks and non-banking financial institutions (NBFIs) will disburse around BDT 240 billion to more than 60 SME sectors such as light engineering, handicraft, flower, fish processing, handloom, rice-mill, bio-gas and compost fertilizer during the ongoing calendar year.

The central bank will set up a three-tier monitoring system to ensure growth of the SME sector in the South Asian country.

Under the monitoring system, the BB headquarters, its nine branch offices across the country and head offices of all commercial banks will review the implementation of SME credit programs regularly.

Economy of Bangladesh

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Tue, 04 May 2010 13:05:00 +0000

Bangladesh's economy has certainly seen vast improvements in the years following independence in 1971. Agriculture is one of the main sectors in the country's economy and production has been increasing. The government has also made efforts to create an 'investor-friendly' environment so as to attract foreign trade.
Sadly natural disasters have had a negative impact on Bangladesh's economy. Despite this the country is showing greater self-reliance as foreign aid has declined. There has also been great growth in Bangladesh's All-in-all, Bangladesh's economic situation is set to continue improving.
What is fueling Bangladesh's economy? The garment industry is massive - one of the most impressive in the world. This industry has been able to create extensive numbers of jobs for the population and particularly for women. Large numbers of garments and knitwear are exported to the United States and Europe. Bangladesh is also the world's third biggest rice producer. Much of the country's agricultural land is set aside for the cultivation of rice and jute as well as some wheat. This agricultural economy is, however, very dependent on the monsoonal cycle where the country experiences cyclic flooding and drought. Other exports in the country include leather, ceramics, pharmaceuticals and shrimp. Bangladesh has received over $30 billion in foreign aid since 1971. Unfortunately, poverty is still a huge problem in the country and social services are sadly lacking.
Encouraging foreign investment in Bangladesh has had significant success - particularly in the power generation, gas production, pharmaceutical, textile and cellular telephony sectors. A Board of Investment was created in 1989. Its role was to make approval and start-up easier for foreign investors in Bangladesh. Far more foreign investment still needs to be made in Bangladesh if the country's economy is to see even greater improvements.
With increased foreign investment and efforts to reduce poverty Bangladesh's economy will go from strength to strength.
