Dutch-Bangla Bank Secures Approval For Tk 1,200 Crore Bond1 min read

The Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) has approved Dutch-Bangla Bank’s proposal to raise Tk 1,200 crore through subordinated bonds. This move is designed to enhance the bank’s Tier-2 capital under Basel III regulations and strengthen its overall regulatory capital base, according to a stock exchange disclosure reportedly.

The bond issuance will comprise 1,200 fully redeemable, non-convertible, unsecured bonds, each valued at Tk 1 crore. These subordinated debt instruments feature a floating interest rate and must be fully repaid upon maturity. Unlike secured bonds, they are not backed by collateral and rank below other debts in claims during liquidation.
