Nearly three decades ago, IDCOL was established with a clear mission: to improve the standard of living in Bangladesh by bridging the nation's infrastructure financing gap and unlocking private capital.
Today, in a special supplement featured in The Business Standard titled "How Finance Fuels Growth," our Managing Director (Acting), Mr. S. M. Monirul Islam, shares how IDCOL continues to shape the country’s economic landscape.
"As Bangladesh moves towards becoming an upper-middle-income country, the scale and nature of financing must evolve. Our Business Strategy 2030 reflects that reality. We plan to nearly double our loan portfolio from around Tk 11,500 crore today to Tk 23,000 crore by 2030."
