Banks’ loan recovery in the first quarter of 2019 was 9.68 percent higher than a year earlier, but given the extraordinary rate at which default loans are increasing it seems below par. Between January and March, Banks recovered Tk 2,448 crore bad loans, according to data from the Bangladesh Bank. Typically, Banks go for a strong cash recovery drive towards the year end to clean up their balance sheet and show a flattering full-year picture. The heightened efforts leave bankers in a relaxed mood in the New Year, so they take it easy with their recovery activities in the first quarter, according to Syed Mahbubur Rahman, Chairman of the Association of Bankers Bangladesh, a platform of private banks’ chief executive officers. But this year, they cannot afford to go slow given the rate at which default loans are racing ahead. At the end of March, total default loans in the banking sector stood at Tk 110,873 crore, up 18 percent from the previous quarter and 25.15 percent from a year earlier.
