The fund, established under Bangladesh Bank’s BDT 600 billion stimulus package, is designed to support operational CMSME enterprises that are unable to utilize their full production, service or business capacity due to inadequate working capital. Eligible enterprises will be able to access financing at an interest rate of only 9%.
The initiative is expected to strengthen CMSME operations, enhance production and business capacity, generate direct and indirect employment, and contribute to accelerating overall economic activity in the country.
