The proposed Mortgage Refinance Company could expand housing finance and deepen Bangladesh's capital markets by enabling long-term refinancing and new securitization instruments. If established, it may increase mortgage lending capacity and create new investment opportunities, positively affecting banks, housing finance providers, and capital market participants.
The United States — United States Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) and a World Bank Group delegation met on August 19, 2026, to discuss the feasibility of establishing a Mortgage Refinance Company (MRC) in Bangladesh. The World Bank Group is conducting a feasibility study following a formal request from the Financial Institutions Division of the Ministry of Finance. The proposed MRC would provide long-term refinancing to financial institutions, deepen the primary mortgage market, and mobilize capital market funds for housing finance, potentially through bonds and mortgage-backed securities. The meeting, chaired by BSEC Chairman Masud Khan, focused on the MRC's institutional structure, legal frameworks, and financing mechanisms. The initiative follows a 2024 government effort to establish an MRC to boost credit flows and promote affordable housing, with the company expected to operate under Bangladesh — Bangladesh Bank supervision. No timeline for the study's completion or a decision to establish the company was disclosed.
