Many public and private banks have been considering issuing bonds next year to maintain the new international standards for capital adequacy ratio. Officials at the finance ministry and the Bangladesh Bank said the government has been considering releasing bonds to meet the huge capital shortfall in BASIC, Sonali and Rupali banks. But private banks have been mulling over the same but to increase their capital more in accordance with international standards. The amount of capital that may be raised from the market has not yet been finalised, but BDT 40.0 billion to BDT 50.0 billion worth of bonds may be released, officials said. The government has been considering issuing bonds worth more than BDT 25.0 billion for scam-hit BASIC Bank and BDT 5.0 billion for Rupali Bank. Four private banks have sought permission from the central bank to issue bonds to improve their capital base.

The Dhaka District Magistrate in a report has recommended the Cabinet Division to form a new wage board especially for the garment industry workers. According to official sources, the recommendation came in the wake of the workers unrest in Ashulia on the outskirts of the capital Dhaka. The garment factory owners reopened their factories yesterday. The factories remained closed since December 20 due to workers’ unrest. State Minister for Labour and Employment Mujibul Haque Chunnu ruled out the possibility of forming a new wage board for garment workers this year as such a wage board is due in 2018. According to the magistrate’s report, major demand of the garment workers is giving workers a minimum wage of BDT15, 000. During the workers’ unrest in Ashulia, some 69 garment factories declared that they were shutting down their manufacturing units. In 2013 the government declared a minimum wage of BDT5,300 per month for garment industry workers. Earlier, the figure was BDT3,000.
