Bank interest should come down

---

Industries Minister Dilip Barua Tuesday said the bank interest should come down to single digit for the growth of industries, reports UNB.
"I am in favour of single digit bank interest for speedy growth of industries in the country," the Minister told leaders of Bangladesh Finished Leather, Leather-goods and Footwear Exporters Association (BFLLFEA) who met him at his office.
Barua said they would start work on setting up a Central Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP) for unimpeded export of leather goods to European countries after 2010. He assured of removing legal barriers as quickly as possible through discussion with stakeholders.
"I've talked to the attorney general recently and initiative has been taken through Bangladesh Small and Cottage Industries Corporation (BSCIC) to resolve the legal barriers following the pending case," he said.
Barua called for coordinated efforts of the public and private sectors to implement the CETP within the shortest possible time for waste management.
