Deposits in banks marked a 20.32
percent rise in the past one year, thanks to the central bank’s policy support
that encouraged savings, remittance inflow and discouraged unnecessary spending
on credit.
Data released by the Bangladesh
Bank (BB) showed that the total deposit in the banking sector soared to
Taka 5,39,568.67 crore in the end of December 2012, which was 20.32 percent
higher than the deposit of Taka 4,48,442.63 crore at the end of 2011.
“The deposit increased due mainly to effective monitoring on
banking sector supported by flexible monetary policy and new loan rescheduling
guideline,” BB
Governor Dr Atiur Rahman told BSS.
He also attributed the achievements to the banks for their
inclusive financial activities like agro-financing, SME financing and lending
to women entrepreneurs and eco-friendly projects.
