State banks can keep on expecting to be coddled despite their continued financial irregularities and irresponsible lending practices, with the government looking to inject Tk 1,500 crore in the upcoming fiscal year to help the lenders meet their capital shortfall. In the last 17 years, the government has injected a total Tk 20,584 crore of the taxpayers’ money into the state-run banks — without any tangible improvement in their governance and lending practices to show for. According to the Khandker Ibrahim Khaled, A former Deputy Governor of the Central Bank, this should be stopped and the aim of the state-run commercial Banks is to provide funds to the government from their profits and the government will spend the money for welfare activities but these Banks are being given money to meet their capital shortfall, which defeats the purpose of their existence.
