Industrial Loan Default: The Case of Bangladesh

Md. Ziaul Haque's 'Industrial Loan Default: The Case of Bangladesh' is the first book of its kind to examine industrial loan default problems in developing countries. It provides insight into the causes and consequences of persistent loan defaults and their devastating effects on the liquidity and solvency of banks and development financial institutions, as well as on industrial growth. The book introduces a thought-provoking model that helps readers understand the underlying reasons for industrial loan defaults and offers directions for proactive and reactive measures to prevent them.

This well-researched work compels readers to rethink how to diagnose default problems and develop effective mechanisms to place banks and financial institutions on sound footing. Haque teaches finance at Sultan Qaboos University of Oman and has held visiting professorships in Indonesia and Australia. With a PhD in finance from Victoria University of Technology, he previously worked as a development banker and economist in Dhaka for twelve years. He has authored several books on economics and finance along with numerous refereed papers in international journals.
