Most of the available funds are bagged by the banks in the form of deposits and channeled for investment through lending. However, they have a substantial bad loan portfolio. Especially Nationalized Commercial Banks (NCBs), receiving the largest pool of funds from general depositors, are suffering from the problem, which has taken a deep root. The dominance of banks, with their huge bad loan portfolios and non-transferability of most of the debt/savings instruments are regarded as the prime hindrance in the development of a debt market per se. Lack of institutions with expertise in debt products, not so high credibility of the corporate borrowers, and absence of any credit rating agency, have been discouraging factors. It is our view at AIMS that the spectrum of financial products available in the developed market could be tailored to match...

Even though they play a significant role they face problems in securing investment or manage finance to develop their ideas or to expand their existing business. It is not possible for Bangladesh to accelerate economic growth without catering to the financing needs of SMEs, Thus, the paper proposes the development of the venture capital industry as an additional financial intermediary to Cater to financing and non-financing needs of SMEs. The paper discusses available sources of finance for SMEs and the Constraints of these sources. There are basically three sources from which SMEs may receive finance. These are banks, non-government organizations (NGOs) and the capital market. Then, we discuss the advantages that venture capitalists have over banks in catering to the funding needs of SMEs. It is argued that venture capitalists perform the role of ‘active investors’ by way of offering both financial and non-financial commitment to the investee company, which is essential in a market characterized by a high level of uncertainties. Also, it is argued that venture capitalists can reduce the transaction costs associated with monitoring as they launch the extensive process of ‘initial due diligence’ and practice the ‘participative management’ approach. Bangladesh has a large number of SME entrepreneurs. It is argued that policy makers should focus on how venture capitalists might receive finance that would in turn reduce moral...

...Modern banks play an important part in promoting economic development of a country. Banks provide necessary funds for executing various programs underway in the process of economic development.
