Any barrier to exporters’ operations should be removed

The Bangladesh Bank has raised the interest rate for the loans secured from the Export Facilitation Pre-finance Fund (EFPF) and the refinance scheme for pre-shipment credit as part of its efforts to make rates market-based.

Interest rate for loans from the Export Facilitation Pre-finance Fund will be 5 percent, up from 4 percent

Clients are not allowed to enjoy new funds from the scheme if they have overdue export bills
