Six banks demand Tk 20 billion
State sector banks are facing extreme financial deficit due to corruption and irregularities. In this situation six state-owned banks have asked for the government to allocate money to the financial sector. This amount is more than Tk 20 billion.
The finance ministry has asked the finance ministry to finance the capital market at the state-owned bank's meeting.
It is said from the management of the meeting that this money can be taken by the government. 'Guarantee' can also be done in the shape. That means the government banks will be able to charge money to meet the capital deficit from any other sector. But in that case the garantant should be the government. However, no response has been received by the Ministry of Finance in this regard, sources said.
According to sources, the bank has sought the most money from Sonali Bank. The largest bank in the state-run sector wants to meet the capital shortfall of Tk 6 billion. On the other hand, the second largest bank wanted the people to raise Tk 2.5 billion.
