Bangladesh Bank today (22 February) extended the deadline for raw jute exporters to apply for loan rescheduling, aiming to support businesses facing liquidity challenges and help regularise defaulted loans.
According to a circular issued by the Banking Regulation and Policy Department (BRPD) of the central bank, exporters now have until 30 June 2026 to submit their applications.
Earlier, exporters were required to apply by 31 December 2025, by making a down payment or a one-time deposit of 2% of their existing loan as of 31 December 2024.

Many could not meet the deadline due to complications in both global and domestic export markets.
Under the revised directive, customers can apply to the concerned bank by depositing 2% of their defaulted (classified) loan balance.
The circular, sent to the Chief Executives of all commercial banks, is effective immediately.
Bangladesh Bank said the extension aims to safeguard the interests of exporters and ensure the continued dynamism of the country's export trade.
