non-performing loans (NPLs)
Banking sector reforms must be based on reality
This government-backed family has become a liability to the banking sector. Dr. Mansur also announced that the Bank Resolution Act is being formulated to address banking failures. Some state-owned banks are also struggling, and measures will be taken to prevent the Financial Institutions Division of the Ministry of Finance from interfering in banking operations. The Bangladesh Bank will be allowed to function independently. However, the Governor did not explicitly state what would happen to banks that cannot be saved or how they would be phased out. His remarks, however, indicate that major changes are on the horizon for the banking industry.

Detrimental impact of defaulted loans on banking sector
The prevalence of non-performing loans (NPLs) in Bangladesh's banking sector is a widely discussed issue, and it is not confined to causing problems only for banking accounts. Rather, it has evolved into a complex problem affecting our national economy. About 86 percent of economic transactions in Bangladesh occur through the banking system. Consequently, if there are issues with banking accounts, these problems have a ripple effect on the entire economy. If non-performing loans in the banking sector were to reach their current levels, banks would be able to contribute more efficiently to the national economy. Many of the mega projects we are implementing could have been completed with this defaulted loan (TK 1 lakh 56 thousand 039 crore).
