Bangladesh Bank discontinues TT discounting facility for current accounts

The Bangladesh Bank has officially scrapped the telegraphic transfer (TT) discounting facility previously available against current accounts. According to the central bank, this measure has become redundant due to the widespread availability of other liquidity management instruments.

Financial institutions are now expected to utilize alternative tools such as the repo facility, Standing Lending Facility (SLF), the call money market, and interbank borrowing to manage their liquidity requirements.
