Despite relaxed repayment facilities and quite usual economic activities, banks waived Tk1,855 crore loan interest in 2021 – which is Tk277 crore more than what it was in the previous year. Top banking experts have termed the rise in loan waiving “a bad signal” to the sector, as efforts to check the default loan turn futile. They said banks had to provide the customers with a bigger cushion during the Covid-hit 2020, as the respites included waiving more interest and relaxing repayment facilities. According to the Bangladesh Bank, banks waived Tk1,194 crore interest in 2018 as the figure jumped to Tk2,293 crore next year. It dropped slightly to Tk1,578 crore in 2020, and spiralled again to Tk1,855 crore last year. Since the facility was introduced in 2003, a total of Tk58,468 crore has been written off till December 2021. Banks wrote off more than Tk2,440 crore till December 2021, while the amount in previous year was Tk970 crore. According to the central bank, ten banks failed to maintain their capital base by the end of 2021 as their capital shortfall stood at Tk34,639 crore.
