According to official, the government is set to extend counter-guarantees worth Tk 48 billion for the Bangladesh Chemical Industries Corporation (BCIC).The measure will facilitate uninterrupted imports of fertiliser for the country’s agriculture sector.The BCIC recently wrote to industries ministry seeking extension of the tenure of counter-guarantees, issued in favour of five state-owned banks (SoBs), by one year to June 30, 2020. According to the BCIC, the tenure of counter-guarantees expired on June 30 this year. Industries ministry later forwarded the letter to finance ministry to continue fertiliser imports smoothly. A senior BCIC official said it is not possible for banks to open letters of credit (LCs) to import urea for fiscal year (FY) 2018-19. Fertiliser imports would get hampered if the government does not issue counter-guarantees to the SoBs.
