Current members of parliament and their affiliated entities have taken loans totaling Tk11,117.31 crore from banks and financial institutions, Finance Minister Amir Khosru Mahmud Chowdhury said today (6 April).
“In addition, there are defaulted loans amounting to Tk3,330 crore in the names of MPs and their related entities, which have not been classified as defaults in line with court directives,” he said in the parliament today (6 April).
The statement came in response to a query from Cumilla-4 lawmaker Md Abul Hasnat, popularly known as Hasnat Abdullah, who had asked about the total volume of bank loans and defaulted loans of sitting MPs.
Earlier on the day, a list of the top 20 loan defaulters of the country was unveiled in parliament, as part of the government’s efforts to enhance transparency and address rising concerns over defaulted loans, which stood at Tk5,44,831.88 crore as of the end of December 2025.
