Ivy, EWU Admission Test and SAT Reading and Writing Questions

Passage:
Ownership of Swadesh Properties Ltd a major housing company in Bangladesh, was transferred from former Awami League MP Wakil Uddin to BNP leader MA Quayum after a change in political power. Although Quayum became the managing director in October 2024, company records show that Wakil Uddin and his sons still retain a large number of shares in the company. Swadesh Properties has been accused of illegally occupying government land, wetlands and flood flow zones for housing projects. Rajuk, the capital development authority, issued notices ordering the company to halt operations, but construction activities reportedly continued. Critics allege that political influence from both the previous and current ruling groups has prevented enforcement action.

Bangladesh Bank has introduced stricter rules governing the participation of its officials in training programs, seminars, symposiums, and workshops organized or financed by banks and other financial institutions. The move is intended to enhance transparency in the financial sector and reduce potential conflicts of interest.

Under the new directive, BB officials are no longer permitted to attend—either as participants or trainers—any domestic or international training or workshop that is funded by banks or financial institutions.

The central bank also barred officials from joining foreign, non-contractual training or similar events if they are financed by entities that have business ties with BB, including those that receive services from or supply goods and services to the institution.

However, exceptions may be granted for domestic seminars or discussion programs where officials participate as speakers or trainers, provided prior approval is obtained from the Human Resources Department-2. In such cases, accepting any honorarium from the organizers is prohibited.

Additionally, officials are instructed to avoid any paid engagement in training or related events where participation could create a conflict of interest with their official responsibilities.

The directive takes immediate effect following approval from the competent authority.

Bangladesh Bank (BB) has opened the door to larger auto loans for electric and hybrid vehicles, allowing banks to lend up to Tk 80 lakh per person for such purchases, in a move that appears to support the country’s shift toward cleaner transport.

In a circular issued today, the central bank said the new ceiling includes insurance costs and applies only to electric and hybrid vehicles. Loans for conventional vehicles will remain capped at Tk 60 lakh.

BB also revised personal loan limits. Borrowers can now take out unsecured personal loans of up to Tk 10 lakh, up from Tk 5 lakh. For loans backed by proper securities, the limit has been raised to Tk 40 lakh from Tk 20 lakh. Loans secured against liquid assets will remain outside this cap.

The central bank also instructed banks to ensure that consumer loan growth does not outpace overall loan growth, a measure aimed at preventing excessive retail lending.

The new rules replace earlier circulars issued in 2004, 2017, and 2024, and took effect immediately under the Bank Company Act, 1991.

Alongside the higher loan limits for EVs and hybrid cars, BB also relaxed equity requirements for green vehicle financing. While conventional auto loans still require a 60:40 debt-equity ratio, buyers of electric and hybrid vehicles can now borrow on an 80:20 ratio, reducing the required down payment.

The regulator said the changes reflect rising vehicle prices and growing demand for cleaner, more energy-efficient transport.

The circular follows the cabinet’s recent approval of broad duty exemptions on imports of brand-new electric buses and trucks, signaling a coordinated push toward greener transport.

Under that decision, all customs duty, regulatory duty, supplementary duty, advance tax, and advance income tax on new electric buses with at least 17 seats will be waived, leaving only 15 percent VAT, except for buses used for student transport, which will be fully exempt.

Similar exemptions will apply to new electric trucks with a capacity of five tons or more.

The policy shift comes as Bangladesh faces a fuel crunch caused by supply disruptions linked to the US-Israeli war on Iran. At the height of the crisis, long lines of vehicles stretched for more than 10 hours outside fuel stations. As the country relies heavily on imported fuel oil, energy diversification has become a major policy priority.
