Findings of the Study

Islamic Banking is a new phenomenon in our country during last two decades. So majority of our people have no proper knowledge about the activities of Islamic Banking as well as its investment mechanism hamper large scope of investment of IBBL. Most of the people in our country have a bad impression of IBBL, operations regarding indirect generation of interest which meaning no difference between investment of IBBL loan / Credit / advance of conventional banks for this reason, they are not too much interested to make investment with IBBL. IBBL, which is committed to avoid interest, cant invest the permissible part of its statutory liquidity Reserve and short Term liquidity surplus in those securities. This Bank can't invest in all economic sectors, which are prohibited by the law of Islam.

Findings of the Study

This Bank revalues its investment operations within limited number of investment modes and does not initiate investment modes according to changing diverse needs. Sometimes investment operations of IBBL are hampered due to increase, dishonest, indiscreet, hypocritical nature of people. IBBL has no strong promotional activities to increase motivate its present and potential investment client.

Policy Suggestions of the Study

IBBL can diffuse its scope of investment through focusing shariah concept regarding investment among the Bank officers; employer and the Clients by strong training, workshops and Clients get - together. IBBL will have to take effective steps to remove the Misconceptions of Mass Peoples that they hold about Islamic Banking System. IBBL should initiates different investment modes according to changing /diverse needs of clients by conducting huge Research and study. To fulfill the vision of "Mass banking" this Bank should grants investment portfolio to new entrepreneurs /new businessmen new companies etc. To gain success in the programs like "Poverty Alleviation and "Self Reliant" especially in rural areas, this bank should provides investment facilities on the basis of individual.

Policy Suggestions of the Study

We know the most important modes of investment are share mechanism but Islamic bank have no such strong application of that mode though theoretical use of share mechanism is so wide. Investment against real estate of the Bank shall continue to be made within the ceiling prescribed in the plan. The banks investment against agriculture, fishery, forestry and working capital investment are not significant compared to other private commercial banks. As such, the Bank shall make attempt for extension of investment in these sectors.

Conclusion
The prohibition of Riba (fixed interest) makes Islamic banking different from Traditional banking. Of course, the investments of an Islamic bank must be channeled to the Islamic Shariah approved sectors. IBBL should more diversify its investment portfolio by size of investment, by sector of investment, viz. industrial, commercial, agricultural and by geographical area. This diversification will ensure mutual benefit both for the bank and the investment-client. IBBL, since its inception, has been working for the upliftment and emancipation of the underprivileged, downtrodden and neglected sections of the populace and has taken up various schemes for their well-being. Islami bank Bangladesh limited, being welfare oriented banking institution has by now designed and implemented thirteen investment schemes keeping in view the needs of different sectors and various sections of people for their socio-economic upliftment and to improve their quality of life.
