Banks will be allowed to make drawing arrangements with exchange houses abroad without prior permission from the Bangladesh Bank. In this context, banks shall make post facto reports to the Bangladesh Bank with detailed information on the arrangements, said a circular by the Foreign Exchange Policy Department of Bangladesh Bank issued a circular on Wednesday (10 August). In this case, banks need to be satisfied on the basis of licenses issued by competent authorities favoring relevant exchange houses, and conducting extended due diligence. Earlier, the Bangladesh Bank accords banks, on applications, to make drawing arrangements with exchange houses abroad as per policy guidelines of 2007. The new regulations can help banks to go for drawing arrangements without letters from the embassy or high commission and approval from the central bank.
