Emerging Credit Rating Limited (ECRL)

Emerging Credit Rating Limited (ECRL) External Credit Assessment Institution (ECAI) It is not an all-encompassing label of “goodness” for a corporation.

Credit Rating is an informed, well-researched and thought out opinion on the likelihood of risk of default of a corporation which can fall under the label of a financial institution, an insurance company or a non-banking corporation. The assessment may be that of an organization’s risk of default on its financial obligations in general, or the likelihood of default on a particular loan or debt. It

can be seen as fulfilling the need for more information in the market by providing current and timely Rating based on a standardized scale, a response to the demand for more information by issuers and borrowers. According to current law, public offers of all debt instruments are required to have a Credit rating prior to being issued. This mandate includes bonds, debentures, commercial paper, structured finance and asset/mortgage backed securities. In addition, initial public offering of all banks and non-financial institutions require a credit assessment, along with public issues of shares at a premium. The competitive landscape of the Credit Rating industry consists of only two local companies. We believe there is a huge potential for growth in this industry and look forward to serving our clients and investors with the highest quality of risk assessment and Credit Rating services.

The Asian Development Bank (ADB) is set to provide $1 billion in budget support to Bangladesh to help manage the economic pressures caused by the ongoing Middle East conflict. With rising global oil prices and supply chain disruptions affecting fuel import costs and foreign exchange reserves, this timely funding will play a vital role in maintaining macroeconomic stability. Expected between May and June, this assistance—alongside potential support from other development partners like the World Bank—will help stabilize the economy and ensure steady energy supplies during these challenging times.

Recent updates from the central bank reveal that the share of defaulted loans in the banking sector has risen to over 31% in the past year. This increase is largely attributed to the implementation of stricter, international loan classification rules, which now consider loans defaulted after 90 days of non-payment instead of 180 days.

While the numbers appear higher as previously hidden bad loans are exposed, Bangladesh Bank has also introduced policy support measures—such as faster write-off frameworks and restructuring options—to help stabilize the sector. Experts note that these transparency-focused reforms are a crucial step toward addressing past irregularities and restoring long-term health to the banking system.

Ahead of the upcoming Eid festival, Bangladesh has witnessed a remarkable 35.7% increase in remittance inflows. In the first 14 days of March alone, expatriates sent home $2.20 billion, up from $1.62 billion during the same period last year. This festive boost not only supports families gearing up for celebrations but also provides crucial support to the nation’s foreign exchange reserves. To help maintain these reserves, the central bank has enabled favorable rates, encouraging this strong inward flow of foreign currency.
