To support these people in these troubled days, BJFCI urges the government to allocate interim credit at low rates under a Special Credit Programme (SCP) to these migrant workers who are fighting in the external fronts of the economy under a special credit programmes. Under the SCP credit programme, Bangladesh missions abroad will send online the list of migrant workers who need credits and banks will disbuse the credit at low interest rates to the families through MFS channels.
