Limitation of the study

I have tried my best to fulfill my report properly but there is some constraint during my internship period which otherwise would enabled me in making my study more appropriate and logical. #he limitations were from side, the bank and as well myself.
Foreign E change is too big to cover: %oreign +xchange is a too big to cover wholly in this limited scope. It re8uired huge time and huge space to cover. So, I have covered only some important topics of credit management. Engaged in !or": +very man of the branch was so busy in their work, so they were not able to provide sufficient care to make the internee?s clear about different topics. Time constraint: I had to prepare this report within a period less than three month which was not enough to prepare such a report. Because collection and arrangement of information is a time consuming $ob. #hen again I had to summari"e those. So I had to work in haste. #onfidential matter: It is not possible to get all sorts of information due to official confidentiality. Lac" of practical "no!ledge: %or the lack of practical knowledge, some short coming may be available in the report. Because in some cases I could not practically involved because of bank?s limitation and risky ness.

&roblems of Foreign E change Mechanism

#here is some problem in foreign exchange mechanism in S6IB' these are given in below, Fluctuation in E change rate: It is often found that the rate of foreign currency is changed at the time of lodgment of import bill which increase import cost from the end of '9! opening. $nomaly bet!een theory A practice: Fhile handling the %oreign +xchange transaction we always follow the rules and regulations laid down in !<)!CA.., but practically we face many problems which
are not integrated by !<)!CA... Erratic govt' policy: In Bangladesh rules and policies formulated by govt. change very fre8uently. #his causes a ma$or problem for the growth of any industry including bank. Being a service industry banks should be consistent in their services. But due to fre8uent changes in regulatory and monetary policies hamper the growth. Again our govt. policies are short lived. Fith the change of govt. policies also become invalid due to the political considerations in the overall policy making. E cessive #ontrol by #entral %an": Banking sector in Bangladesh is underway the reform programs. #herefore Bangladesh bank and the govt. are formulating new policies in compliance with the present scenario. #hese policies are made available on a trail and error basis. #oo much experimenting thereby is making a slack in the sector.
@B
Scarcity of foreign currency, Sometimes foreign currency become scarce in the market and Bangladesh bank do not release foreign currency to maintain the reserve position. Finance against discrepant documents: In most case it is observed that bank has to finance to the client against discrepant document.
Over invoicing of the importable commodities: Sometimes the value of the importable goods is overstated in the indent9 proCforma invoice. #he bank does not find any way to verify the authenticity of the 8uoted price. Failure to shipment of goods in due time: Sometimes it is not possible to the party to shipments the goods as fixed time due to inade8uate power supply and political unrest. As a result of paying late chaege have to pay.
A.
2ecommendations:
#o perform better in foreign exchange S6IB' adopts some necessary steps. 5ere I would like to mention some of them, Necessary undertaking mat be obtained from the importer to cover the fluctuation in foreign exchange rate. #he financial authority of Bangladesh may persue I!! 3International !hamber of !ommerce4 to update !<)!CA.. and necessary compromising points to be explored to solve the problem. #he international division of the bank may set up additional correspondent relationship in potential territories on mwrit basis. #he I!! & SFI%# may frame some common guidelines to nationali"e the charges in international level so that no single country becomes the victim of willful increase in charges. #he government may fix up tariff rates to prevent over invoicing. Necessary incentives may be allowed to the exporters to upgrade the reserve position. #he Bankers may pursue the financial authorities like Bangladesh bank, *inistry of finance, National board of revenue to liberali"e the policy matters so that genuine importers do not suffer due to any adverse policy matter. *ore branches9networks to be developed for greater coverage especially in rural areas. #o encourage foreign remittances through correspondence overseas exchangers #o strictly follow the foreign currency regulations *ore efforts to improve customer service
A0
#onclusion:
Banks play a very important financial role towards the country. <roper financial system of a country can develop the country?s economy system. As a Islamic bank S6IB' try their best to running their function on the basis of Islamic Shariah. #he slogan of S6IB' is :committed to cordial service; and day by day its area of servicing is increased all over the country through setting up new branch at new place. As a Islamic bank S6IB', I have a chance to understand the Islamic banking properly and I found that the transaction are mostly trade oriented. S6IB' can be a role model for conventional bank and show the path of Islamic financial system that is spread all over the world. %inally, without any doubt it can be concluded that, S6IB', is successfully discharging their best service for the welfare of their client. I wish tremendous success to S6IB' & hope that it will expand its operations across the country.
