Bangladesh’s banks are borrowing more money than before just to keep things running. In July, “call money” borrowing—basically quick loans that banks take from each other—jumped 31.6% to Tk1.16 lakh crore.
Most of this was borrowed overnight and paid back the next day. Even though borrowing shot up, interest rates stayed about the same, just over 10%.
Banks also went to Bangladesh Bank for extra cash support, while the government borrowed a bit less than before.
What this means for you:
Banks are under pressure to find cash. That could mean lending to businesses and people won’t get cheaper anytime soon.
