Bangladesh Bank (BB) has informed that banks can now add 3 percent with the reference lending rate which is also known as the SMART rate.

Earlier, it was 3.50 percent.

For pre-shipment export and agriculture loans, banks can add 2 percent with the SMART rate which is measured by the six-month moving average rate of treasury bills, as per a BB circular issued on Sunday.

It was 2.50 percent earlier.
