DCCI calls for stronger fiscal-monetary coordination to boost private sector growth

DHAKA, June 30, 2026 (BSS) – The Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) has called for closer coordination between fiscal and monetary policies to support private sector-led economic growth and ensure effective implementation of the government's development initiatives.

In a statement issued today, DCCI President Taskeen Ahmed said the recently approved Tk 9.38 trillion national budget has introduced a range of tax and duty incentives aimed at encouraging private investment, expanding businesses and accelerating industrialisation.

The chamber stressed that aligning monetary policy with these fiscal initiatives would help maximize their impact by improving access to affordable financing for businesses.

DCCI welcomed Bangladesh Bank's Tk 60 billion refinancing and incentive package, describing it as a timely initiative to revive business activities. It urged the central bank to ensure transparent and efficient implementation of the fund so that cottage, micro, small and medium enterprises (CMSMEs), export-oriented industries and other productive sectors can benefit through simplified procedures and faster approvals.

The chamber also underscored the importance of extending priority support to businesses currently facing operational challenges to help preserve production, investment and employment.

Referring to private sector financing, DCCI said adequate credit flow would be essential to achieving the government's investment and industrial growth objectives. It also highlighted the need to maintain a balanced distribution of banking sector liquidity to support productive private sector activities.
