Pubali Bank has secured regulatory approval to raise Tk 500 crore through the issuance of its fifth subordinated bond, the bank announced on Monday.
The Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) granted consent on September 28 for the bond issuance via private placement, subject to compliance with all relevant laws and regulations.
The bank said the proceeds will be used to bolster its capital base, supporting future growth and financial stability.
Pubali Bank’s board had earlier approved the move on May 5, 2025. The bank has been performing strongly, reporting a profit of Tk 393 crore in the April-June quarter of 2025—a 38 percent year-on-year increase driven by higher investment income.
As of August 31, 2025, Pubali Bank’s shareholding structure included sponsors and directors at 28.20 percent, institutional investors at 28.09 percent, foreign investors at 0.12 percent, and the general public holding 43.59 percent.
