All-in-Cost Ceiling for Short-Term Permissible Trade Finance in Foreign Exchange
Bangladesh Bank has established a new all-in-cost ceiling for short-term permissible import trade finance in foreign exchange, capping the annual markup at 3.00 percent above applicable benchmark rates such as SOFR or Euribor. This revised rate limit immediately extends to the discounting of usance export bills and early payments against exports under open account credit terms. Authorized dealers must implement these updated cost parameters immediately and notify their respective clientele while maintaining all other existing instructions.
