Why sustainable Finance?
Sustainable finance is the process of incorporating environmental, social, and governance (ESG) considerations into financial investment decisions, resulting in longer-term investments in sustainable economic activities and projects.
Sustainable finance on the rise
Sustainable finance extended by banks rose nearly 40 percent year-on-year to Tk 35,387 crore in the first quarter of 2023 as lenders keep disbursing a higher volume of loans to eco-friendly businesses and industries, official figures showed.
Why is green finance not taking ground in Bangladesh?
Greening the economy is a prerequisite for attaining sustainable development goals (SDGs).
Green finance must be open to SMEs
Despite Bangladesh having a large number of green factories, the SMEs in our garment industry are still struggling to access green finance.
