DHAKA, Oct 13, 2025 (BSS) - Bangladesh Bank (BB) has extended a loan 
rescheduling facility for raw jute exporters till December 31, 2025, allowing 
them to reschedule loans for the next two years with a two percent down 
payment based on their outstanding loans as of December 31, 2024. 

To this end, the central bank today issued a circular saying that the 
instruction has been given in response to difficulties faced by exporters in 
fulfilling the requirements of earlier measures designed to resolve the 
existing problems within the raw jute export sector. 

The new directive is effective immediately and was issued under the authority 
provided by Section 45 of the Bank Company Act, 1991.

It should be noted that the central bank had previously issued a circular on 
March 31, 2024, which required raw jute exporters to submit their 
applications for loan rescheduling within six months from that initial 
circular's issuance date.
