Bangladesh Country Report

Bangladesh has been a leader in developing policies to shape a greener and more inclusive financial system. It has a suite of green banking regulations and policies including concessional green refinancing, credit quotas for green finance and guidance and requirements on environmental due diligence.

Green finance is growing but it remains modest compared to the scale of Bangladesh’s environmental, energy and industrial development imperatives.

This paper provides initial ideas towards a national roadmap which could be developed with leadership and involvement not only of the Bangladesh Bank but also other financial regulators, financial institutions, the microcredit industry, civil society, stock exchanges, credit ratings and private standard setters.
