For the 2023-24 financial year, Bangladesh Bank reported a net profit of Tk 15,100 crore, up from Tk 10,748 crore the previous year. This profit includes Tk 15,100 crore deposited into the government treasury, a significant increase from Tk 10,652 crore in the prior year. The bank’s gross profits reached Tk 40,000 crore.
The primary revenue sources included gains from lending and dollar sales. The central bank issued Tk 32,21,000 crore in short-term loans to commercial banks, surpassing the total loans given in the previous seven years. The bank also sold $12.79 billion to manage foreign currency shortages, though this reduced reserves to $20.48 billion.
The new governor has halted dollar sales from reserves, shifting to interbank market solutions for import demands. The board meeting also covered the appointment of deputy governors and discussed economic conditions and agricultural loan distribution.
