The Central Bank yesterday asked Banks to form a special monitoring cell to keep an eye on defaulters with loans of more than Tk 100 crore. The cell will have to be formed immediately to give a boost to recovery from the large-scale default loans, according to a Central Bank instruction sent out to all lenders. It will submit a statement to the Central Bank every quarter mentioning the recovery progress of the loans. Banks will start off by submitting a statement to the Central Bank, depicting the situation of the large loans for the April-June period of this year. The cell will monitor the default loans for eight quarters in a row even if they are rescheduled and unclassified. A Deputy Managing Director has to lead the cell and required workforce will have to be deployed. The Board of Directors of a Bank will evaluate the statement to help the management. Default loans at banks stood at Tk 110,874 crore as of March this year, up 25.15 percent year-on-year.

Goods worth around Tk 10,000 crore have been left abandoned by importers at the Chattogram Port for the past five and half years, depriving customs of revenue and leading to a space crisis. Had importers taken timely deliveries of their consignments, the customs could have earned Tk 7,000 crore in taxes. Md Akbar Hossain, additional commissioner of Chattogram Custom House (CCH), told they were not getting any revenue against the consignments as those had been abandoned. Chattogram Port Authority (CPA) Secretary Md Omar Faruq said, “A huge space inside the port remains occupied by these containers, disrupting smooth operation. The port is also losing revenue since the space occupied by these containers cannot be rented out.” The port has the capacity to house 48,000 TEUs (Twenty Equivalent Unit) of containers, of which 7,000 has been occupied by the unclaimed containers for the past few years.

Stocks witnessed the biggest single-day fall in 17 months on Sunday as worried investors continued their selling spree, fearing further fall. DSEX, the prime index of the DSE, settled at 5,033, plunging by 96.95 points or 1.88 per cent. It was the biggest single-day index fall in more than 17 months since February 15, 2018. After the Sunday’s decline, the DSEX also fell to 31 months low since December 28, 2016, when DSEX was 5,027. Brokers said the market continued bleeding as panic gripped the investors that the market would fell further. The government’s move to liquidate People’s Leasing, Grameenphone woes coupled with the gas price hike dented investors’ confidence to the market, said an Analyst. Meanwhile, a group of retail investors, tried to stage demonstration in front of the DSE building protesting the continuous fall, but police foiled their attempt.

The telecom regulator will not give any kind of approval to Grameenphone and Robi to roll out new package or service or import network equipment as it looks to pile pressure on the operators to clear their dues, according to a letter issued recently. Grameenphone has Tk 12,579.95 crore pending and Robi Tk 867.24 crore as per an audit of the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC). But the two operators, which are coincidentally the top two players in the market, have turned a deaf ear to the commission’s repeated claims.

The country’s premier bourse has approved the proposal for listing of the much-talked-about Coppertech Industries, subject to the regulatory ‘waiver’ of a rule regarding the timeframe for the listing of a Company. The approval came at a board meeting of the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) at its office on Monday, said an official.
