Absence of a fully functional Central Effluent Treatment Plant [CETP] and solid waste management at Savar Tannery Industrial Estate has been costing Bangladesh’s leather and leather goods exporters heavily. Currently, Bangladeshi exporters do not have any choice but to sell their goods at rates 30 percent lower than the global prices for non-compliance. Leather goods exporters do not get higher prices of their products unless the Leather Working Group [LWG], the global compliance audit organization, certifies companies that they are compliant. Since Bangladesh can’t comply with the conditions of the LWG, the local leather and leather goods exporters have to sell at much lower prices to buyers from China, who are not too fussed about compliance. The issue of non-compliance by tanners and the tannery industry authority was responsible for the rawhide price crash last Eid-ul-Azha.

In the wake of low revenue mobilization last fiscal year, the government has now turned to bank borrowing to meet its financing needs, Bangladesh Bank data shows. In the first 35 days of this fiscal year, the government has borrowed Tk 23,761 crore from the banking system, which is almost the same as last year’s total bank borrowing and half of this year’s target. The government borrowed Tk 26,446 crore last fiscal year, according to data from the central bank. This fiscal year, the government has set a borrowing target of Tk 47,364 crore from the banking sources. The government’s borrowing from banking sources usually shoot up at the beginning of a fiscal year to adjust its higher expenditure in the last few months of the previous fiscal year. But this time the government’s bank borrowing has increased significantly due to its implementation of mega infrastructural projects such as those of the Padma Bridge and Dhaka metro rail. Total revenue mobilization last fiscal year was Tk 223,892 crore against the target of Tk 280,000 crore. Besides, a decreasing trend in sales of national savings certificates in recent months has pushed up the government’s bank borrowing. Net sales of national savings tools stood at Tk 3,208 crore in June, down from Tk 3,258 crore a month earlier.
