DHAKA, May 14, 2025 (BSS) – The Board of Directors of the National Pension Authority held its 2nd meeting at the Finance Division Conference Room at Bangladesh Secretariat today. Finance Adviser Dr Salehuddin Ahmed, who is also the chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Pension Authority, presided over the meeting. The meeting took a good number of decisions to infuse dynamism into its operations which include an interested subscriber would be able to draw maximum 30 percent of his or her deposited amount at a time once becoming eligible or reaching into pensionable age, said a press release. The meeting also decided to lower the monthly subscription fee of the ‘Probash’ and ‘Progoti’ schemes to Taka 1,000 from the existing Taka 2,000 since the monthly income of many participants in these two schemes are comparatively low. Meanwhile, a section of the Progoti pension scheme of whom the monthly income is higher than the average monthly income of the private sector officials would be able to deposit monthly highest Taka 15,000 from the existing level of Taka 10,000. It was decided to be included in the Progoti pension scheme the service workers who are under the agreement on outsourcing process. The meeting decided that the National Pension Authority would take necessary steps for availing the membership of the International Social Security Association (ISSA). It was also decided to strengthen the ongoing publicity operations of the universal pension scheme through circulating advertisements in social media (facebook), YouTube, giving advertisements in popular TV events, talk shows, in international matches and newspapers. Besides, the issue of launching the Islamic version of the universal pension scheme would be placed after scrutiny before the next meeting of the Board of Directors of the National Pension Authority.

Trump announces big Boeing order for Qatar Airways
DOHA, May  14, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - US President Donald Trump said Wednesday Qatar Airways had placed a "record" order for 160 planes from Boeing, as he signed a raft of deals in Doha alongside Qatar's emir. The order, which the White House said was Boeing's largest ever for wide-body jets, deepens ties between the US aerospace giant and the giant Middle East carrier. Qatar Airways will honor a "$96 billion agreement to acquire up to 210 American-made Boeing 787 Dreamliner and 777X aircraft powered by GE Aerospace engines," according to a White House fact sheet. "This is Boeing's largest-ever widebody order and largest-ever 787 order," it said. Comprehensive details about the order were not available. Boeing declined immediate comment. The order represents a win for new Boeing CEO Kelly Ortberg, although analysts noted that the planes won't be delivered for at least five years due to industry backlogs. Both Boeing and rival Airbus, which has also sold extensively to Qatar Airways, have struggled in recent years with supply chain problems as they have taken thousands of plane orders amid strong airline demand. Boeing has also been beset with safety and labor problems that have limited output. Ortberg joined Trump for part of Wednesday's signing ceremony that also included defense agreements and the purchase by Qatar of American MQ-9B drones, after about two hours of talks with Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al-Thani. "It's over $200 billion but 160 in terms of the jets. That's fantastic. So that's a record," Trump said, adding: "It's the largest order of jets in the history of Boeing. That's pretty good." The list prices of the 777X and 787 Dreamliner suggest the total value of the Boeing deal is well under $200 billion. The $96 billion figure in the White House factsheet also appears to include some business for GE Aerospace. - Plane backlog - Trump's Qatar visit is the second destination of his Gulf tour, after a first stop in Riyadh, where he made a surprise announcement lifting sanctions on Syria and met the country's president. Relations between Washington and Doha have been in the spotlight over Qatar's offer to Trump of a $400 million luxury aircraft to serve as a new Air Force One and then pass into his personal use. Since 2016, Boeing has received 118 gross orders from Qatar Airways and delivered 65 planes to the carrier, according to Boeing's website. Morningstar analyst Nicolas Owens said the order represents "good news" for Boeing, but noted that it would be years before Boeing receives revenues for the jets in Wednesday's order. "If you're ordering a plane today it's not going to be on your landing strip for at least five years," Owens said. Owens said the announcement is also a "vote of confidence" in the much-delayed 777X, which is still be certified, with Boeing pointing to first deliveries in 2026. Ortberg joined Boeing in August 2024 following a leadership shakeup after a series of safety and quality control problems. He has focused on upgrading Boeing's operations under the close scrutiny of US air safety regulators, saying improving Boeing's corporate culture will take time. Shares of Boeing rose 1.6 percent after midday.
