Introduction

1.1 Introduction

Bangladesh is one of the least developed countries in the world. To bring about desired change in the socio-economic field, the role of the banks cannot be over emphasized. Agriculture, commerce and industry provide the bulk of countries wealth, without adequate banking facilities none of these can flourish.

In international trade of country, the role of a bank is simply indispensable. Banks also contribute toward the development of capital market of a country. The development of agriculture is also largely dependent on the quality of banking services available in a country.

The environment of Bangladesh has realized the need for a developed banking system for the overall development of the country. Government has also realized that nationalized banks alone are not enough to meet this demand and challenges of the economy of the country.

Bank is an organization which gathers the idle scattered money from the people and invests them in to the development of the country. It forms different methods to bring it beneficiary for both the Bank and depositors. The revenue earning sources of banks are mainly loans and advances. The credit facility can be of two types: funded and non-funded. Funded credit can be expensive for the banks as the bank has to pay interests. Non-funded credit includes Letter of Credit which is the main source of income for the foreign exchange business.

If a bank can increase its import and export transactions, its profit will obviously reach a higher level, as the costs are negligible.

This report is an attempt to reflect the procedures, policies, activities of the Foreign
Exchange Business of Trust Bank Limited.

1.2 Origin of the Report:

Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) is a comprehensive professional course designed to make professionals with better business and administrative knowledge.

    Bangladeshi Banking System

    • 3370 Words
    • 14 Pages

    The Bangladeshi banking system is one of the weakest in emerging Asia, with a weak operating environment contributing to persistently poor performance and solvency issues, especially among the systemically important state‐owned commercial banks (SOCBs). The system is undermined by very weak asset quality, inadequate provisioning for loan losses, poor capitalisation and constrained profitability. The operating environment in Bangladesh is characterised by a weak macro economy and political instabilities, both of which pose significant risks. The weakness in the operating environment is further exacerbated by frequent natural disasters. Bangladesh’s banking system is made up of 48 banks, which include four SOCBs, 30 private commercial banks, nine foreign commercial banks and five development banks. The four SOCBs accounted for 33% of the banking system assets at end‐2007 (1997: 68%). Although the SOCBs are still the most dominant, they are fast losing market share to private banks (52%) and to a lesser extent foreign banks (8%). Despite the various steps taken to turn around the ailing SOCBs — such as privatisation attempts, conversion into limited liability companies (LLCs) and the appointment of new management — progress has been slow. In addition to the challenging operating environment, Fitch Ratings notes that the very weak asset quality in Bangladesh (reported gross NPL ratio of 13% in June 2008) is also influenced by weak standards of corporate governance, underdeveloped risk management systems and directed lending. Asset quality in the SOCB sector is of greater concern given their very high reported gross NPL ratio of 29.3% at end‐ September 2008 (1999: 41%). Fitch also notes that 80% of system NPLs are in the loss category with low probability of recovery, while provision coverage of NPLs was well below the regulatory minimum, as a result of which the system’s net…

    Modern banks play an important part in promoting economic development of a country. Banks provide necessary funds for executing various programmes underway in the process of economic development. They collect savings of large masses of people scattered through out the country, which in the absence of banks would have remained ideal and unproductive. These scattered amounts are collected, pooled together and made available to commerce and industry for meeting the requirements. Economy of Bangladesh is in the group of world’s most underdeveloped economies. One of the reasons may be its underdeveloped banking system. Government as well as different international organizations have also identified that underdeveloped banking system causes some obstacles to the process of economic development.

    A bank is a financial institution and a financial intermediary that accepts deposits and channels those deposits into lending activities, either directly by loaning or indirectly through capital markets. A bank is the connection between customers that have capital deficits and customers with capital surpluses.The Bangladesh banking sector relative to the size of its economy is comparatively larger than many economies of similar level of development and per capita income. The total size of the sector at 26.54% of GDP dominates the financial system, which is proportionately large for a country with a per capita income of only about US$370. The non-bank financial sector, including capital market institutions is only 3.22% of GDP, which is much smaller than the banking sector. The market capitalization of the Dhaka Stock Exchange was US$1,025 million or 2.19% of GDP as at mid-June 2002. In contrast, the size of the total financial sector in India, including banks and non-banks as well as the capital market is 150% (March 2002) of its GDP, with commercial banks accounting for 58.3% of GDP.…

    Not too bad if you may claim so ….. The Bangladesh banking sector relative to the size of its economy is comparatively larger than many economies of similar level of development and per capita income. The total size of the sector at 26.54% of GDP dominates the financial system, which is proportionately large for a country with a per capita income of only about US$370. The non-bank financial sector, including capital market institutions is only 3.22% of GDP, which is much smaller than the banking sector. The market capitalization of the Dhaka Stock Exchange was US$1,025 million or 2.19% of GDP as at mid-June 2002. In contrast, the size of the total financial sector in India, including banks and non-banks as well as the capital market is 150% (March 2002) of its GDP, with commercial banks accounting for 58.3% of GDP.i Access to banking services for the population has improved during the last three decades. While population per branch was 57,700 in 1972, it was 19,800 in 1991. In 2001 it again rose to 21,300, due to winding up of a number of branches and growth in population. Compared to India’s 15,000 persons per branch in 2000, Bangladesh is not far behind in this regard. This indicates that access to the banking system in the country is not a significant problem. However the story tells a different tale The finance sector remains predominantly bank-based, accounting for 96% of the sector’s resources. While there are sound banks, based on IAS, the banking sub-sector as a whole is technically insolvent. Consolidated data reported tend to have significantly understated provisions. Adjusting partly for the understatements, the financials of the banking sub-sector are characterized by about 32% NPL ratio, US$720 million shortfall in provisions, US$1,106 million shortfall in provisions and capital combined, and losses of US$685 million after adjusting for the…

    Description: Bangladesh Commercial Banking Report provides industry professionals and strategists, corporate analysts, banking associations, government departments and regulatory bodies with independent forecasts and competitive intelligence on Bangladesh's commercial banking industry. This report follows a rigorous approach to analysing commercial banking sectors around the world. We have collated data relevant to national commercial banking sectors that have been published by central banks, regulators and/or trade associations, as well as basic information concerning individual market participants. We have also considered the current views on the economic outlook for the country in question. Many aspects have been – and continue to be – brought together in a systematic way through our proprietary Commercial Bank Business Environment Ratings (CBBER), which facilitate cross-country comparisons. In Q309 the authors continued to extend the scope of its commercial banking report series, both in terms of the depth in which individual states are assessed and the number of banking systems analysed. Enhanced Global and Regional Context We have expanded our coverage of the global and regional banking sectors to ensure that developments in individual banking are placed firmly within the context of neighbouring and linked markets. Separate regional overviews have been provided for emerging Europe, Asia, Latin America, the Middle East and sub-Saharan Africa. The aim is to flag up pan-regional developments, highlight countries that stand outside regional trends and isolate potential systemic risks. Expanded Universe of Commercial Banking Sectors This quarter we are launching 13 new country reports. Building on our expertise analysing emerging market economies, the focus is on enhancing coverage of key developed states (France, Switzerland,…
