The Bangladesh Bank on Tuesday asked non-bank financial institutions to verify safety of their buildings to remain safe from any type of incident like the building collapse at Savar.
The BB issued a circular to managing directors and chief executive officers of all NBFIs asking them to conduct by skilled engineers assessment of risks of the buildings which house head offices and branches of their companies.
The BB asked the NBFIs to submit the assessment report to their respective board of directors by the next three months, the circular said.
The NBFIs will have to conduct such assessment of their buildings in every two years and submit the report to their respective board of directors.
The BB issued the circular after more than 1100 people had been killed and thousand others injured in a multi-storied building collapse at Savar on April 24.
