Default loans at the country’s non-bank financial institutions (NBFIs) reached Tk27,541 crore by the end of June 2025, accounting for 35.72% of their total loans disbursed, according to Bangladesh Bank data.<\/p>\n

Just three months earlier, at the end of March, the figure stood at Tk27,189 crore, or 35.32% of total loans. This means default loans grew by Tk352 crore in just one quarter.<\/p>\n

At the end of December 2024, the total loan portfolio of NBFIs was Tk75,450 crore, of which Tk25,089 crore or 33.25% was classified as non-performing.<\/p>\n

As per the central bank data, although outstanding loans in the NBFI sector have grown in recent months, defaults are increasing at a much faster pace. This indicates that not only are older loans turning bad, but some of the newly disbursed loans are also falling into default.<\/p>\n

On this, a senior official at Uttara Finance told TBS, “The overdue loans that were already in the pipeline are gradually being classified as non-performing. Since new lending is quite limited now, the chance of defaults suddenly spiking from fresh loans is low.”<\/p>\n

Bangladesh Bank figures for the September 2024 quarter showed that 19 out of 35 NBFIs had default loan ratios exceeding 50%. The central bank’s Financial Stability Assessment Report for the same quarter noted that the sector’s asset quality and profitability had further deteriorated.<\/p>\n

Speaking on condition of anonymity, the managing director of one NBFI said, “Due to various irregularities, the reputation of many institutions has been damaged. As a result, they are failing to mobilise fresh deposits. On top of this, many loans that were rescheduled for the long term are now defaulting.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"At the end of December 2024, the total loan portfolio of NBFIs was Tk75,450 crore, of which Tk25,089…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":39207,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[114,184,85,46],"class_list":["post-39206","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-economy","tag-business","tag-economy","tag-il","tag-israel"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39206","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39206"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39206\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39207"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39206"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39206"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39206"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
