The Bangladesh Bank directs all scheduled banks to maintain a minimum cash margin for letters of credit used to import rice and wheat, determined based on the bank-customer relationship. This directive is issued under Section 45 of the Bank Company Act, 1991, to ensure continuous supply and keep domestic prices of these staple grains within a tolerable range amid global supply disruptions. The instruction takes immediate effect and remains valid until further notice.
