Background of the Report


The report comprises of the organizational overview, operation of Banking in the different section such as General Banking, Investment, Foreign Trade/Exchange and Briefly analysis the performance of the Branch. Finally the report has been concluded with some recommendations. During my two months study, Ive tried my best to get knowledge about their overall banking operation with special emphasis on their performance. The Banking Industry in Bangladesh is characterized by strict regulations and monitoring from the central governing body, the Bangladesh Bank. The main concern is that currently there are many banks for the market to sustain. As a result, the market will only accommodate those banks that can transpire the most competitive and profitable in the future. Currently the major financial institutions under the banking system include: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Bangladesh Bank Private Commercial Banks State Owned commercials Bank Islamic banks Non-bank financial Institutions, etc.

Of these, there are four state owned commercial banks (NCB), 5 specialized banks, 11 foreign banks, and 26 domestic private banks, 4 Islamic banks currently operating in Bangladesh.

FIGURE: 1 Generally, the commercial banks and finance companies provide a myriad of banking products/services to cater to the needs of their customers. However, the Bangladesh banking industry is characterized by the tight banking rules and regulations set by the Bangladesh Bank, All banks and financial institutions are highly governed and controlled under the Banking Companies Act-1993.

The range of banking products and financial services is also limited in scope; all local banks must maintain a 4% Cash Reserve Requirement (CRR), which is non-interest bearing and a 16% Secondary Liquidity Requirement (SLR). With the liberalization of markets, competition among the banking products and financial services seems to be growing more intense each day. In addition, the banking products offered in Bangladesh are fairly homogeneous in nature due to the tight regulations imposed by the central bank. Competing through differentiation is increasingly difficult and other banks quickly imitate any innovative banking service.

Limitation of the Study


I have faced several problems during the preparation of this repot. Some of the limitations of this report are mentioned below: a. Credit management is a big subject: Credit management is a big subject to cover wholly in this limited space. It required huge time and huge space to cover. So, I have covered only some important topics of credit management and furnished only the gist here. b. Engaged in work: Every man of the branch was so busy in their work, so they were not able to provide sufficient time to make me clear about different topics. c. Time constraint: I had to prepare this report within a period less than three months which was not enough to prepare such a report. Because collection and arrangement of information is a time consuming job. Then again I had to summarize those. So I had to work in haste. d. Confidential matter: It is not possible to get all sorts of information due to official confidentiality. e. Lack of practical knowledge: For the lack of practical knowledge, some short comings may be available in the report. Because in some cases I could not practically involved because of banks policy limitations and operational bindings. The problems mentioned above are some of the major problems; I have faced during the preparation of this report. In spite of that, I have tried my level best to make the report as informative as possible.

Methodology of the Study

Definition of Concepts & Assumption:


The term Loan and Advance is used as the Investment in the Islami Banking system. Investment is the action of deploying funds with the intention and expectation that they will earn a positive return for the owner. Although, the term Loan & Advance and Investment are same, they are differently used in Conventional banking system and Islami Banking system. Because, there is no provision of charging interest in the Islami Banking system. They charge a provisional rate on the investment and charge the profit on the basis of weighted of the previous years profit. And also the Islami Bank is operated on the basis of Mudaraba basis. Mudaraba means trusteeship. The relationship between bank and client is trustee. The client deposits his money to the bank with the permission of using the money in a way which is legal and according to the Shariah law. As there is no provision of charging interest on the loan, the Islamic Banking helps to invest the clients money in various sectors and give profit on the basis of agreement.

Definition of Bank:
We can define A bank as an institution, usually incorporated with power to issue its promissory notes intended to circulate as money (known as bank notes); or to receive the money of others on general deposit, to form a joint fund that shall be used by the institution, for its own benefit, for one or more of the purposes of making temporary loans and discounts; of dealing in notes, foreign and domestic bills of exchange, coin, bullion, credits, and the remission of money; or with both these powers, and with the privileges, in addition to these basic powers, of receiving special deposits and making collections for the holders of negotiable paper, if the institution sees fit to engage in such business." Generally there are two main way of operating commercial bank. They are conventional banking and Islamic banking system.

Islamic Banking:
The Islamic banking has been defined in a number of ways. The definition that is given approved by Organization of Islamic Conference is most popular. According to The OIC, The Islamic bank is a financial institution whose status, rules, and procedures expressly state its commitment to the principle of Islamic Shariah and to the banning of receipt and payment of interest on any of its operations. It appears from the definition that Islamic banking is a system of financial intermediation that avoids receipt and payment of interest in its transactions and conducts its operation ina way that it helps achieve the objectives of an Islamic economy. And also it is operated on the basis of Mudaraba theory. According to Mudaraba theory, the relationship between bank and clients is not debtors-creditors, it is a relationship of trusteeship.

The difference between Conventional and Islamic Banking are shown

in terms of a box diagram as shown below:


Conventional Banks 1 The functions and operating modes of conventional banks are based on manmade principles. The investor is assured of a predetermined rate of interest. It aims at maximizing profit without any restriction. It does not deal with Zakat. 1 Islamic Banks The functions and operating modes of Islamic banks are based on the principles of Islamic Shariah. In contrast, it promotes risk sharing between provider of capital and the user of funds. It also aims at maximizing profit but subject to Shariah restrictions. In the modern Islamic banking systems, it has become one of the serviceoriented functions of the Islamic banks to collect an distribute Zakat. Participation in partnership business is the fundamental function of the Islamic banks. The Islamic banks have no provision to charge any extra money from the defaulters. For the Islamic banks, it is comparatively difficult to borrow money from the money market. The Islamic banks, on the other hand, give greater emphasis on the viability of the projects. Strictly speaking and Islamic bank cannot do it. The status of Islamic bank in relation to its clients is that of partners, investors and trader. In Islami Banking system, there is no recycling of interest. There is markup/rebate system. 11

Leading money and getting it back with interest is the fundamental function of the conventional banks. It can charge additional money in case of defaulters. For interest-based commercial banks, borrowing from the money market is relatively easier. The conventional banks give greater emphasis on creditworthiness of the clients. A conventional bank has to guarantee its deposits. The status of a conventional bank, in relation to its clients, is that of creditor and debtors. The conventional Banking system has the recycling system. They charge interest on interest.

Remittance?
A remittance is a transfer of money by a foreign worker to his or her home country.Remittances are playing an increasingly large role in the economies of many countries, contributing to economic growth and to the livelihoods of less prosperous people (though generally not the poorest of the poor). According to World Bank estimates, remittances totaled US$414 billion in 2009, of which US$316 billion went to developing countries that involved 192 third of their GDP. million migrant workers. For some individual recipient countries, remittances can be as high as a As remittance receivers often have a higher propensity to own a bank account, remittances promote access to financial services for the sender and recipient, an essential aspect of leveraging remittances to promote economic development. The top recipients in terms of the share of remittances in GDP included many smaller economies such as Tajikistan (45%), Moldova (38%), and Honduras (25%).

FOREIGN REMITTANCE:
Foreign Remittance refers to the transfer of funds from one country to another, which may be within the country or between two countries through banking channel, post office or the informal channel. According to the Foreign Remittance Regulation Act, 1947Foreign Remittance means purchase and sale of freely convertible foreign currencies. Purchase of foreign currencies constitutes inward foreign remittance & sale of foreign currencies constitutes outward foreign currencies. Foreign remittance is very important for the country as valuable foreign remittance is involved in the transfer mechanism. From the year 1990, Prepared By Md Elias Alam 34

Monitoring the flow 0f foreign remittance On Bangladesh the role of FSIBL financial liberalization has been started which is still going on. Due to liberalization, restrictions on foreign remittance become ease. Bangladesh taka is convertible for current account transactions on March 24, 1994 with the view to achieve better exchange rate management system. And from April 1994 Bangladesh Government has accepted the status of Article V111 of international monetary fund. National Credit & Commerce Bank Ltd. Plays an important role in foreign remittance activities both inward & outward. In NBL main components of foreign remittance are T.T, M.T & Draft.

The Role of remittance


The increasing attention paid to the question of migrant remittances comes from the realization of the important role they play in poverty alleviation and, circumstances permitting, economic development more broadly. The former is most obvious in the way the dependent circumstances of individuals that are directly transformed; the latter operates via a collective response much on the existence of institutions can leverage remittances to create true development finance. Individual poverty alleviation Remittance payments directly alleviate the poverty of the individuals and households to whom they are sent. The ways in which remittances alleviate the poverty of individuals are, in the first round of effects, direct and fairly obvious. They include the following. Survivalist income supplementation. For many recipients, remittances provide food security, shelter, clothing and other basic needs.

Consumption smoothing Many recipients of remittances, especially in rural areas, have highly variable incomes. Remittances allow better matching of incomes and spending, the misalignment of which otherwise threatens survival and/or the taking on of debt. Education In many developing countries, education is expensive at all levels, whatever the formal commitments of the State. Remittances can allow for the payment of school fees and can provide the wherewithal for children to attend school rather than working for family survival. Housing The use of remittances for the construction, upgrading and repair of houses is prominent in many widely different circumstances. Health Remittances can be employed to access preventive and ameliorative health care. As with education, affordable health care is often unavailable in many remittance recipient countries. Social spending Day-to-day needs include various social

expenditures that are culturally unavoidable. Remittances can be employed to meet marriage expenses and religious obligations and, less happily but even more unavoidable, funeral and related costs.

Broader concerns: remittances and economic development


Remittance income does not benefit just individual recipients; it benefits the local and national economies in which they live. Indeed, the spending allowed by remittances has a multiplied effect on local economiesas funds subsequently spent create incomes for others 9 and stimulate economic activity generally. Beyond such multiplier effects, however, are other factors conducive to economic growth and stability. Remittances can provide receiving countries with much-needed foreign exchange.Adding to the appeal of remittance flows to local and national economies is the fact that their frequency and magnitude tend to be counter-cyclical. Economic distress in the home countryprecisely the scenario least conducive to other financial flows such as FDI inspires migrant workers to increase the volume of funds they remit.

The increasing attention paid to the question of

Influence in Foreign remittance in Bangladesh economy


Foreign remittance is very important for the country as valuable foreign remittance is involved in the transfer mechanism. From the year 1990, financial liberalization has been started which is still going on. Due to liberalization, restrictions on foreign remittance become ease. Bangladeshi taka is convertible for current account transactions on March 24, 1994 with the view to achieve better exchange rate management system. And form April 1994 Bangladesh Government has accepted the status of Article VIII of international monetary fund. One possibility is that given the government banks efforts to keep the exchange rate steady Bangladesh see the possibility of getting a higher return on taka deposits (13-15%) in Bangladesh, compared.

To dollar or other currency deposits abroad (1-2%) and they are sending their money for these higher returns. Of course, the risk is higher in Bangladesh and so it might be more Bangladeshi who are taking this risk than foreigners, but the possibility that something like this might be happening, and thus bringing in hot money which could leave the country if the underlying interest rate differentials changed or other factors changed. The risk adjusted returns, even after allowing for possibility of exchange restrictions or risk of nationalization might still be positive and Prepared By Md Elias Alam 47

Monitoring the flow 0f foreign remittance On Bangladesh the role of FSIBL significant. Another possibility. Since all foreign remittance that

Bangladesh gets is considered to be white money and there are no questions asked about source of funds, and there are no taxes on it as well, at least on entry, there might be people in Bangladesh who earn through non-documented sources evade taxes and then just whiten the money by taking it out through bangle and bringing it back as foreign currency. I. made Rs 10 million form my work in Bangladesh, but evaded paying taxes on it, which is not uncommon in Bangladesh but now need to whiten the money so that I can bring into legitimate and documented economy send the money, Through hundi, to UAE and then have it remitted back tome in dollars. I. do pay some transaction cost for it, but all of the money gets legitimacy and so the transaction cost is a small amount to pay for this whitening. Now the FBR cannot do anything about it either. If this happens the question really is about the size of such flows. How big are they and do they help us explain the growth in foreign remittance or a significant part of it? There is the further question of what impact this has on our GNP figures and so on, but that is of more academic interest and not related to the question at hand. Foreign remittance is, right now, saving us from major troubles. If our import bill starts increasing. Which can if oil prices go higher or remain high, or if our imports start picking up, then remittance flows become even more important to keep us in good stead? Given our budget. Deficits and debt stock, these flows are the main source of foreign capital for us. And remittance has been showing robust and sustained growth. But it is not clear where this growth is coming from. This is essential for us to understand if we are to figure out whether the increased flows are good for us or not and how to ensure that they continue if they are. And if they are not hypotheses but if there is any Truth to them, and that is an empirical question. This year we are expecting more than $10 billion in foreign remittance. A very large number of Bangladesh are currently working & living in countries that are not their home, and sending funds regularly back to Prepared By Md Elias Alam 48

Monitoring the flow 0f foreign remittance On Bangladesh the role of FSIBL their families in Bangladesh. Foreign remittance is making a huge Contribution towards macroeconomic stability, or any semblance of it, in Bangladesh currently. It is allowing us to keep foreign reserves looking ok & keeping Exchange rate steady. Right now our import bill, due to economic Slowdown, is also low & this, in addition to the remittance inflows, is giving the breathing space that we see on foreign account side. With large deficits, large debt stock, few international lenders willing to give us loans, existing IMF programmer held in abeyance, this breathing space is important. But there are interesting things to think about regarding remittance Flows as well. Remittance started increasing substantially only a few Years ago. Initially it was speculated that the significant increases in Remittance were the result of one time increases where Bangladesh were, After 9/11 & the crack down on Handy as well as harder living conditions outside of BANGLADESH, shifting back their wealth & savings to Bangladesh. This was specially the case as remittance increases even when the world Economy went into a recession. But if this was indeed the case increases in remittance should have stopped & things should have gone to pre increase days. But to the contrary, we continue to see healthy growth in remittances. This calls for some explanation and someone, State Bank research department or other macroeconomic researchers, should look into this. It is important to understand what sort of money is coming in as remittance & why because in some cases this might not be the kind of money.

BANGLADESH wants to attract too much of: if it is hot Money and is coming in for speculative reasons, for example, it could flow out as easily as well & this could get the economy in really hot waters. So we should be looking at who is sending the money, what is the source of the Bangladesh one can speculate & have hypotheses as to why this could be happening. It is not the case that the world economy has improved or there is a boom in the countries where Bangladesh live &/or a lot of new Prepared By Md Elias Alam 49

Monitoring the flow 0f foreign remittance On Bangladesh the role of FSIBL jobs have been created for Bangladeshis, so How do we make sense of healthy growth rates in remittances?

Remittance Boost in Bangladesh Economy:


The amount of money sent home has reached a new record high in Bangladesh the amount of money sent home by Bangladesh living abroad has reached a new record high, according to the Central Bank of Bangladesh. In August, the total sum of money sent home reached a

historic peak of $ 937m-up 30% from a year ago.


The boost to the Bangladesh economy comes despite the global recession Hitting overseas jobs. Remittances are the countrys second highest Revenue earner after exports. The are an estimated 6.5 million Bangladeshis living and working Abroad, mainly in the Middle East, South East Asia, Europe and the United States. Millions at home are dependent on money sent by their expatriate Relatives- money that has been credited for the decline in poverty in the country. This is the highest monthly remittance we have received in our History, said Ziaul Hasan Siddiqui, deputy governor of the central Bank. The figure also shows that the global recession had little impact on the flow of remittance to Bangladesh although job opportunities in the major markets have declined in recent months. Many other countries have reported a sharp decline in remittances during the economic downturn. But analysts say money Bangladesh are in low-end jobs and so the recession has not hit them as hard as it has affected blue collar workers. The increase in remittance could also be partly due to two upcoming religious. However, the upward trend may not continue for long, as overseas employment has fallen in past months due to declining demand. The flow of migrant workers returning home has also increased. The government Prepared By Md Elias Alam 50

Monitoring the flow 0f foreign remittance On Bangladesh the role of FSIBL of Bangladesh has identified seven new countries including Lebanon, Sudan, Romania and Greece to send workers to. The state will seek to open diplomatic missions in those countries, to look for job opportunities, Bangladesh received $ 1.823 billion during the July - August period of the previous fiscal, 2009-10, registering an 18.19 percent growth over the Remittances also help Bangladesh in making the balance of payments favorable, or make up the deficit between total export & import. For example, in 2008, Bangladesh exported $13.97 billion worth of goods & services & in turn imported $19.59 billion worth of goods & services. This gave a deficit of $5.62 billion in Bangladesh Balance of payment (BOP). Remittance has been a key driver of economic growth & poverty reduction in Bangladesh. The migrants send back billons of dollars & the country can then use these resources for investment for industrial development, improvement of educational facilities & services & extend & improve its health services. The money that is sent back is also beneficial to the families & to the country in that it helps reduce poverty & also allows for investment in small businesses & chances for furthering education.

Foreign remittance can be defined as the purchase & sale of freely convertible foreign currencies as admissible under.

Bangladesh Scenario: Remittance and Foreign Exchange reserve


Foreign exchange reserve and remittance marked an important milestone in Bangladesh economy in last couple of years and in 2010-11 they sent 11.65 billion US dollar. In ten years, foreign currency reserve grew from $1 billion to cross the $10 billion mark this year for the first time. Both foreign exchange reserve and remittance were broadly immune to the global recession that has been lingering for around two years now. Surprised at the successes , experts also cautioned the government against any inflationary pressure that may be caused by the achievements in remittance and foreign exchange reserve. A few years ago, Bangladesh received remittance of $2 billion to $3 billion annually. The amount crossed $5 billion in fiscal 2006-07. The remittance inflow was $10.99 billion in the last fiscal year with a growth of 13.41 percent. In the year 2010 the main reasons behind the increase in foreign exchange reserve are a decline in import and the boost in remittance. Normally import increases every year but the trend is negative now. Bangladesh Bank Governor Dr Atiur Rahman told: "Banking sector is much active now. And so remittance increased. Many exchange houses and bank branches opened in different countries to send remittance. With the cooperation of NGOs, the system of remittance delivery to the recipients has improved. Now we Think of introducing payment through mobile phones." (Source: The Daily Star) If we analyze the date we find in the last 10 year on an average 35% of Import payment could be meet up with inward remittances.

SWOT ANALYSIS
By the SWOT Analysis and other above discussions, observation some findings has come forward, those are given below: 1. The bank is mostly dependent on deposit scheme. 2. Import department of FSBL (jubilee Road Br.) is performing better than the export department. It is said on the basis of efficiency but on the basis of number of L/C against export L/C. 3. Discrepancies are occurring much in Import department than Export Department. 4. No initiative package for promoting export dept. where as different credit facilities are available for import dept. 5. The bank is not emphasizing in Foreign Exchange where as other competitors are aggressively looking for this sector. 6. The bank has no ATM facility. 7. There has no any marketing department 8. In spite of not good reputation this bank is less interested in doing their advertisement of branch products, packages and other facilities where as other competitors are using hard advertisement strategies.

Recommendation & Conclusion

Prepared By Md Elias Alam

54

Monitoring the flow 0f foreign remittance On Bangladesh the role of FSIBL

Recommendations
The existing credit policy is good enough to run the bank. But as the competition is increasing day by day the bank should take some measures so that they can distinguish it from the others. The credit management of First Security Islami Bank Ltd. can follow the following suggestion to improve their performance and distinguish from others: 1. Giving authority to the Branch officials to take decisions to sanction a loan. Right now, for every loan decision is made by Head office. But to faster the speed of loan sanction the branch should be authorized to take decision. 2. Rebate charge on loan should be increased so that more customers are attracted to make loan. 3. The period of loan should be extended. 4. The bank management can give permission to its branches to design or change lending products on the basis of local demand. 5. The bank should recruit some young and energetic executives to ensure timely recovery of disbursed consumer credit loan. 6. The clients of loan should be facilitated with online Banks and other benefits. 7. FSIBL should upgrade its website regularly and provide details information of loan Scheme. 8. FSIBL Bank may also promote its loan program through different advertising tools i.e. TV adds, News paper adds etc.

Prepared By Md Elias Alam

55

Monitoring the flow 0f foreign remittance On Bangladesh the role of FSIBL 9. The Bank management can reduce the interest rate. Because of high interest rate, some good loans turn to bad loans. But if the interest rate decreases than the default loan will also decrease. 10. To risk grade the credit, the bank can follow other models besides the credit risk grading model. Because the credit risk grading model is not hundred percent up to the mark. 11. The bank management should always be concerned about the change in industry so that they can notice the change and take proper actions to adopt the situation. The credit management of Southeast Bank Ltd. can follow the abovementioned suggestion to improve their performance so that they can be competitive in the market and can gain some competitive advantage.

Conclusion
Banking has become the inspirable part of social transaction. From the very early age it had taken in our society in the non-institutional form.
