Post-import financing made easier

Bangladesh Bank yesterday revised its policy for post-import financing (PIF) to ease the process for importers to get finance smoothly. As per the previous guidelines on PIF released in June last year, Bangladesh Bank mentioned two sectors — essential commodities and industrial raw materials — where banks could finance importers. In the latest guidelines, the central bank asked lenders in the country to finance to two more sectors, which are trading and agricultural items, alongside the previous two. Similarly, businesses which import agricultural products such as fertiliser, seed and pesticide will be allowed to repay their loans within six months. The central bank also instructed banks not to facilitate PIF to borrowers who face overdue debt Lenders, however, will provide PIF to importers who are unable to repay their loans due to any unexpected adversity.
