BRPD-1 Circular Letter No. 07: Loan facility for payment of salaries and allowances to workers of active export-oriented industries

Scheduled banks in Bangladesh are authorized to provide term loans outside current working capital limits to active export-oriented industries to pay February 2026 salaries and allowances. Eligibility requires the industry to export at least 80% of production and have paid workers from November 2025 to January 2026, supported by a certificate from a representative trade organization. Loan amounts cannot exceed the average salary paid over the previous three months, must be paid directly to workers' accounts, and are capped at one year with a three-month grace period at market interest rates without any additional charges.
