Bangladesh Bank has recently increased the policy interest rate to control the ongoing high inflation in the country. As a result, additional interest will have to be paid in case of borrowing from now on. However, the Dhaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (DCCI) has expressed concern over the decision to increase the interest rate of bank loans.

On Tuesday (August 27), the governor of the central bank. DCCI President Ashraf Ahmed said this after a courtesy meeting with Ahsan H. Mansoor.

Ashraf Ahmed said, if the interest rate increases, the pressure on the small and medium sector businesses of the country increases. Business leaders demanded special action by the central bank for the small and medium sector in view of the ongoing instability.

At that time, in response to a question, the DCCI president said that businessmen do not support bank robbers. Whatever decision the central bank takes against those involved in these, the business community will support them.
