NFBIs demand withdrawal of cap on deposit interest

The non-bank financial institutions have demanded withdrawal of the 7 per cent interest cap on deposit.They came up with the demand at the first meeting of the Federation of Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry’s standing committee on non-banking financial institutions, held at the FBCCI office in Dhaka today.As per the instruction given by Bangladesh Bank, NBFIs cannot offer more than 7 per cent interest on deposit, which is lower than the banks offer to their clients, the committee said.Therefore, this circular puts the NBFIs at unfair competition with the banks. The central bank’s loan moratorium facilities are also applicable only on banks and thus these policies are discriminatory to the country’s NBFIs, members of the committee added.
