According to the Finance Minister Mustafa Kamal, the new guideline on restructuring of bad loans would be issued by the Bangladesh Bank soon. It will be issued before the placement of budget for the next financial year on June 13. The government has prepared the new guideline amid criticisms that it would offer restructuring of bad loan on further relaxed conditions and would be misused by wilful and large loan defaulters. Mustafa Kamal had earlier said that the new loan restructuring guideline with the provision of 9 per cent interest against the current 11-12 per cent would come into effect from May 1.
