Business Desk :

Jamuna Bank PLC has introduced its 5th Subordinated Bond, providing investors with a secure, long-term investment opportunity featuring a highly attractive return. The bond, valued at BDT 800 crore, carries a floating interest rate, currently 12.65 percent per annum (as of November 2025), making it more lucrative than many traditional fixed-income options such as government treasury bonds or fixed deposits, according to a press release.

The bond has a seven-year tenure, with the principal to be repaid in five equal annual installments, beginning at the end of the third year. It has been structured in line with international standards and regulatory guidelines, reflecting Jamuna Bank’s commitment to compliance and financial innovation.

The launch event was inaugurated by Chairman Md. Belal Hossain, with the presence of all board directors, Managing Director and CEO Mirza Elias Uddin Ahmed, divisional heads, and branch managers.

Chairman Md. Belal Hossain said, “This subordinated bond not only strengthens the bank’s Tier-II Capital but also offers investors a low-risk, stable-income option to diversify their portfolios. It demonstrates our focus on innovation, customer convenience, and long-term financial stability.”

The launch of this bond is part of Jamuna Bank’s ongoing efforts to provide innovative financial instruments to investors while enhancing the bank’s capital base for sustainable growth.
