Bangladesh Bank has doubled the ceiling for advance import payments, aiming to ease trade transactions.
“To further simplify trade transactions, it has been decided to enhance the aforesaid limits to $20,000 and $50,000, respectively,” said a BB circular issued today (23 September).
Previously, the central bank allowed advance payment of up to $10,000 or equivalent without a repayment guarantee. In addition, an advance payment of up to $25,000 was permissible from Exporters’ Retention Quota (ERQ) accounts.
The central bank said all other instructions in this regard shall remain unchanged.
