(১৬৮৫) New banks: BB opts for further review
The Bangladesh Bank will review the performance and governance of the existing private banks before giving permission to set up new ones, according to a decision of its board yesterday.
The BB also decided if new banks are allowed, they will have to face a set of new conditions.
The BB board at a meeting chaired by Governor Atiur Rahman deferred the plan for new banks and asked the central bank to resubmit the proposal along with a detailed study report at a meeting on September 14.
The BB board members are secretaries of different ministries and three economists. Two members were not present at yesterday's meeting.
No decision was taken at the meeting on allowing new banks, a board member told The Daily Star, asking not to be named.
But the board advised the BB to include in the proposal some new conditions, which a new bank will have to meet to get a licence, he said.
Most members were against allowing new banks and stressed the need for further review of the present banking situation if permission has to be given at all, another board member said.
In a report placed at the meeting yesterday, the central bank did not make any recommendation for or against giving permission to new banks, said the board member.
A finance ministry official said a powerful lobby of lawmakers and businessmen has been putting pressure on the government high ups to give permission to new banks.
In this context, the finance ministry has sent a letter to the BB to start the process of giving permission to a number of new banks as the government wants to allow it.
In the subcontinent, Bangladesh has the highest number of banks -- 47, whereas no new banks were allowed after 2001.
Among the big shots, ruling Awami League Presidium Member Mohiuddin Khan Alamgir has so far submitted applications twice.
Latest he filed an application for a new bank -- The Farmers' Bank Ltd. A signboard for the proposed bank has already been put up at Jabbar Tower and the process of setting up the office of it is underway.
An application for setting up Modhumati Bank Ltd was submitted in 2010. Awami League lawmaker Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh is one of the directors of the proposed bank.
National Professor Kabir Chowdhury, Prof Deen Mohammad and Prof Azizur Rahman have taken initiative for setting up Self Employment Bank
