The government’s gross borrowing from the banking system jumped suddenly Sunday to finance budget deficit partly for the current fiscal year (FY), officials said. Bangladesh government borrowed Tk 13 billion on the day against previously fixed target worth Tk 2.0 billion through holding of its 91-Day Treasury Bills (T-bills). On the other hand, the interest rate on the T-bills dropped at the lowest ebb on the day, as commercial banks rushed to offer bids in the auctions, according to bankers. The cut off yield, generally known as interest rate, on 91-day T-bills came down to 1.0 per cent on the day from 1.09 per cent of the previous auction, held on May 06. Earlier on April 17, 2009, the cut off yield was 1.11 per cent, the market operators said. Bidders offered Tk 14.42 billion against pre-targeted amount of Tk 2.0 billion for the 91-day T-bills of the auctions, according to the result. Of those Tk 13 billion was accepted for the government approved security, it added.

The domestic market has been flooded with illegally imported yarn and fabric, hitting the local industry hard, industry people alleged. As a result, a huge quantity of locally produced items has remained unsold Although the volume of commercial imports of fabrics is meager because of high import duty, a huge quantity of sarees, three-pieces and other clothing from India, China and Pakistan are flooding the local market, he alleged. Since fabrics and other clothing are being imported illegally without any duty, they are cheaper than local items, he explained. The BTMA alleged that over 0.8 million or 1.0 million pieces of women’s clothing, including sarees and three-pieces, are entering the country illegally through 17 boarder hats and are being carried to the capital by trains.
