BB stops supplying new banknotes from head office The New Nation
Business Desk :
The Bangladesh Bank has stopped supplying new banknotes from its head office in Motijheel in the capital to general people ahead of Eid-ul Fitr in a bid to stem the spread of coronavirus.
However, holidaymakers can collect new banknotes, popularly used as Eidi or Eid tips, as the central bank has provided the notes to cash counters and ATM booths of commercial banks and its 10 branch offices.
Long before the lockdown, BB took the decision to release fresh banknotes of various denominations worth Tk 30,000 crore ahead of Eid to check the rush for collecting fresh banknotes to its head office.
