Jamuna Bank to issue bond to raise Tk 800 crore

Jamuna Bank has received regulatory approval to raise Tk 800 crore through the issuance of bonds under private placement.

The Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission, in a letter dated September 28, approved the bond, according to a disclosure posted on the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) website today.

The move follows an earlier announcement on April 21, 2025, when Jamuna Bank's board decided to raise capital through bond issuance to strengthen its balance sheet and support future growth.

Jamuna Bank reported a decline in net profit for the April-June quarter despite an increase in investment income.

The private commercial lender's consolidated net profit for the second quarter of 2025 fell by 8 percent year-on-year, reaching Tk 131.54 crore.

As per DSE data, as of August 31, 2025, sponsors and directors held 40.98 percent of the company's shares. The public held the largest portion with 55.43 percent, while the remaining 3.59 percent was owned by institutional and foreign investors.
