এক মিনিটের খবর — পৃষ্ঠা ২Affordable Mental Health Support Is Growing in Bangladesh
A growing network of helplines, non-profit initiatives and lower-cost professional services is making mental health support more accessible to students and young professionals in Bangladesh. But uneven quality, stigma, limited awareness and a lack of regulatory oversight remain major challenges.

Another Lifeline for Bad Debt
Bangladesh Bank has extended another restructuring opportunity for troubled borrowers, allowing those with Tk 1,000 crore or more in unpaid loans as long as 15 years to repay, including a two-year grace period. While policymakers argue that such measures can support viable businesses and reduce the burden of non-performing loans, repeated concessions raise concerns over repayment discipline, accountability and whether restructuring is addressing the banking crisis or merely postponing it.

Bangladesh’s ninth National Pay Scale significantly improves government salaries and strengthens the appeal of public-sector careers. But the bigger labour-market concern may be the widening gap between secure government employment and a private sector struggling with low starting salaries, weak investment, uncertain wage growth and limited job creation. Unless private employment becomes more competitive and predictable, more young people may continue to spend years pursuing government jobs or seek opportunities abroad.
