The central bank is set to launch a low-cost fund worth Tk 15,000 crore to Tk 20,000 crore to help revive factories that have shut down across the country.

Under the proposed initiative, industries forced to close due to unavoidable circumstances and willing to repay their outstanding loans will be eligible for low-interest working capital support. Some businesses may also qualify for term loans.

According to officials at Bangladesh Bank involved in the process, the lending rate may be fixed at 13 percent, with borrowers potentially receiving a 5 percent interest subsidy.

Tarique Rahman is expected to formally announce the fund later this week. Speaking at a May Day rally organized by the Jatiyatabadi Sramik Dal on Friday, he said the government would take steps to reopen shuttered factories, protect workers’ rights, and strengthen the economy.

A committee led by BB Deputy Governor Md Kabir Ahmed has started preparing a detailed policy framework for the fund.

As part of the process, banks have been instructed to submit updated lists of closed factories and their loan status, said BB spokesperson Arief Hossain Khan. The regulator requested separate data on fully and partially closed factories, focusing on firms with loans exceeding Tk 100 crore.

Discussions are continuing between the central bank and the government regarding the type of support needed to restart these industries. Once finalized, the fund and its policy guidelines will be formally introduced.

BB officials said a meeting with commercial banks was held on Sunday to discuss the initiative. During the meeting, bankers advised the regulator on how to identify genuinely affected factories and borrowers interested in repaying loans.

Banks also sought safeguards before extending fresh credit. They proposed government or central bank guarantees to protect lenders if revived businesses default again. In addition, bankers requested extra collateral from entrepreneurs and the authority to appoint consultants to monitor factory operations and ensure proper use of loan funds.

Following the fall of the Awami League-led government in August 2024, the central bank under the interim administration introduced a relaxed loan rescheduling policy to support affected industries and factories.

“Some people think technology has made life more complicated. To what extent do you agree or disagree?”

Band 7–9 Model Answer

Technology has become an inseparable part of modern life, influencing how people communicate, work, and manage daily tasks. While some argue that it has made life more complicated, I largely disagree with this view because its overall impact has been to simplify and improve human life.

On the one hand, it is understandable why some people believe technology increases complexity. Modern devices and digital systems are constantly evolving, requiring users to regularly update their knowledge and skills. For example, older individuals may struggle with online services such as mobile banking or digital government platforms. Moreover, excessive reliance on technology can sometimes lead to distractions, information overload, and even dependence on devices, which may create stress rather than convenience.

On the other hand, technology has significantly reduced complexity in many essential areas of life. Communication has become instant and effortless through smartphones, messaging applications, and video conferencing tools, allowing people to stay connected across long distances. Similarly, everyday tasks such as shopping, bill payments, and travel bookings can now be completed within minutes online, saving both time and effort. In addition, automation and digital tools in workplaces have increased efficiency and reduced the burden of manual work.

In conclusion, although technology may introduce certain challenges, particularly in terms of adaptation and overuse, its benefits in simplifying communication, services, and work processes are far greater. Therefore, I disagree with the view that technology has made life more complicated; instead, it has generally made life more convenient and efficient.
