poor situation to comparison with other Conventional & Islamic bank. So for what their
clients need to use their EXIM Bank card on other bank booths e.g. DBBL, BRAC bank;
for what clients are charged by 10 to 30 tk. on each transaction.

Review of Related Literature 25-27

Review of Related Literature:
Definition of Investment:
In general, Investment means an asset or item that is purchased with the hope that
it will generate income or appreciate in the future.
In an economic sense, an investment is the purchase of goods that are not
consumed today but are used in the future to create wealth.
From finance perspectives, an investment is a monetary asset purchased with the
idea that the asset will provide income in the future or appreciate and be sold at a higher
price.
Investment is putting money into something with the expectation of gain, that
upon thorough analysis, has a high degree of security for the principal amount, as well as
security of return, within an expected period of time.
Islamic banking activities are consistent with the principles of sharia law and its
practical application through the development of Islamic economics. Sharia prohibits the
fixed or floating payment or acceptance of specific interest or fees (known as riba, or
usury) for loans of money.
Concept of Interest in Islam:
Islamic banking refers to a system of banking or banking activity that is consistent

with Islamic law Shariah principles and guided by Islamic economics. Islamic financing
is based upon the principle that the use of Riba (interest) is prohibited. This prohibition is
based upon Shariah ruling. Since Muslims cannot receive or pay interest, they are unable
to conduct business with conventional banks. To service this niche market, Islamic
financial institutions have developed a range of halal interest-free financing instruments
that conform to Shariah ruling, and therefore are acceptable to their clients
25
Investment from Islamic bank perspectives:
According to conventional bank, a bank loan is an amount of money loaned at

interest by a bank to a borrower, usually on collateral security, for a certain period of
time. But in Islam, Islam forbids simply lending out money at interest, so for what
Islamic rules on transactions have been created to avoid this problem which are known as
Fiqh al-Muamalat. The main term is to avoid the prohibition by sharing of profit and loss,
via terms such as profit sharing (Mudharabah), safekeeping (Wadiah), joint venture
(Musharakah), cost plus (Murabahah), and leasing (Ijar).
Islamic banks adopt several modes of acquiring assets or financing projects. In the
main, they can all be broadly categorized into four:
1. Investment financing,
a. Musharaka
b. Mudarabha
2. Trade financing,
a. Mark-up Trade Financing
b. Leasing
c. Hire Purchase
d. Sell-and-buy-back
e. Letters of Credit
3. Lending
a. Loans with a Service Charge
b. No-cost Loans
c. Overdrafts
4. Other financial services:
a. money transfers, bill collections, and trade in foreign currencies at
spot rate
In Islamic Investment financing, instead of loaning the buyer money to purchase

the item, a bank might buy the item itself from the seller, and re-sell it to the buyer at a
profit, while allowing the buyer to pay the bank in installments. However, the bank's
26
profit cannot be made explicit and therefore there are no additional penalties for late
payment. In order to protect itself against default, the bank asks for strict collateral. The
goods or land is registered to the name of the buyer from the start of the transaction. This
arrangement is called Murabahah.
In Islam, there is a clear difference between lending and investing ;lending can be
done only on the basis of zero interest and capital guarantee, and investing only on the
basis of mudaraba (profit-and-loss-sharing).Conventional banking does not — and need
not — make this differentiation. But an Islamic bank has to take this into consideration in
devising a system to cater to the Muslims. Therefore such a system has to provide for two
sub-systems — one to cater to those who would “lend” and another for those who wish to
invest.
Low Consumer Lending of Islamic Bank:
Since Islamic banks do not charge interest rates, consumer loans are therefore
unattractive since there is no profit to be derived in the form of interests on the loans.
Hence, Islamic banks deliberately avoid consumer lending. Islamic researcher’s
(e.g.Siddiqi, 1983) have tried to excuse the Islamic banks. While recognizing the need for
such interest-free loans / benevolent loans qard hasan, especially for meeting basic needs,
they seem to think it is the duty of the community and the State through its treasury baitul
mal to cater for these basic needs. Downplaying the role of Islamic banks in providing
consumer loans, they suggest that Islamic banks give limited overdraft facilities without
interest instead. They also consider a portion of bank loanable funds being set aside for
consumer loans, provided repayment will be guaranteed by the State. This, they reckon,
will minimize the risks involved in consumer lending.
Profit-sharing ratios and the modes of payment vary from place to place, from
bank to bank and from time to time, depending on supply and demand conditions. Profits
are provisionally declared on a monthly basis in Malaysia, on a quarterly basis in Egypt,
on a half-yearly basis in Bangladesh and Pakistan, and on an annual basis in Sudan.

Investment of EXIM Bank:
In a financial system of any economy, we know the financial surplus mobilize

from surplus economic unit to the deficit economic unit. In the banking world the bank
plays an intermediary role between deficit economic and surplus economic unit. Bank
mobilizes the fund from surplus economic unit as deposit and makes the fund available to
the deficit unit. And after that process basically credits are create.
The word credit is derived from the Latin word "credo" which means, "I believe"
and is usually defined as the ability to buy with a promise to pay. It consists of actual
transfer and delivery of goods and services in exchange for a promise to pay in future. It
is simply the opposite of debt. Diversification of banking service increasing the use of
credit in the expanded business operation. It is a fundamental instruction of banking that
advances are made for the customers and the customer are promises to pay rather than the
security held by the banker.
According to Islamic Shariah Principle any interest or extra money against the
money which was lent, is called "Riba" and for that it is prohibited. For what the financial
institute, Shariah Council has made some rules for validity of business transactions,
which is safe and easy to maintain the Islamic rules and regulation. According to the
Islamic Shariah one cannot lend money to other expecting some more in return. But bank
can invest money to other business under various modes and that will be discovered
clearly before starting a business. In that point "Credit" is named as "Investment" and for
what bank act as an investor and bear profit or loss whatever happens all of that things
will be treat like as a business.
In conventional system, interest defined as the amount of money generated by a

particular amount of money at a particular rate after a particular period. But according to
the Islamic Shariah principle lending is related with buying and selling of items which is
associated with risk. The extra amount of money that comes from the trade is profit and it
is acceptable for investment.

Borrower Selection:
Lending is one of the most important functions of a bank. Therefore, it is of
paramount importance that the bank chooses a reliable borrower. For this the bank places
the kind of mechanisms that helps it identify the borrower who can be creditworthy. This
section deals with some of the mechanisms that the bank can able to find the reliable
client for investment on his/her business.
Investment Application form:

A investment application form usually contains information pertaining to the
name of the concern, constitution, nature and place of business, year of establishment,
borrower's experience in the line, particulars of assets and liabilities, purpose of advance,
amount required, period of advance required for, nature of security offered, sources of
repayment, names of present bankers with detailed borrowing and other facilities. This is
the core step of knowing about the borrower.
Personal Interview:
The bank arranges interview with the borrower to know more about his specific
requirements, the prospects of his employing the funds prudently, his capacity to repay
and the suitability of the security offered. The main points that are covered in the
interview are: his business, all legal documents required for operation of his business
(Memorandum and Article of Association, trade and import license), his capital with
reference to working capital, his experience in the business, results of financial
statements, amount of investment and period, purpose of advance, source of repayment,
terms of payment, security documents that are offered etc… The bank officials who
conduct the interview try to analyze and judge for themselves the correctness or
otherwise of the various statements and documents of the prospective borrower and to
arrive at a balanced opinion regarding the acceptability or otherwise of the proposal.
After the initial interview, if the officer found that the information meets with the
basic investment criteria of the bank, then the next step will be to conduct a more in-
depth investigation, relying upon the documents obtained from the client and from bank's
own and outside sources.
41

the borrower has taken any loan and advances from any other bank and the status of those
loan and advances.
Credit Risk Grading:
The Credit Risk Grading (CRG) is a collective definition based on the pre-
specified scale and reflects the underlying credit-risk for a given exposure.
A Credit Risk Grading deploys a number/ alphabet/ symbol as a primary summary

indicator of risks associated with a credit exposure. Basically Credit disk Grading is the
basic module for developing a Credit Risk Management system.
Function of Credit Risk Grading:

Well-managed credit risk grading systems promote bank safety and soundness by
facilitating informed decision-making. Grading systems measure credit risk and
differentiate individual credits and groups of credits by the risk. This allows bank
management and examiners to monitor changes and trends in risk levels. The process also
allows bank management to manage risk to optimize returns.
42

to ensure a common standard approaches to assess the quality of individual
obligor.

wherein either a borrower or a particular exposure/facility is rated. The other
decision would be rated to pricing and specific feature of the credit facility.
These would largely constitution obligor level analysis
 Risk grading would also be relevant for surveillance and monitoring, internal
MIS and assessing the aggregate risk profile of a institution. It is also relevant
for portfolio level analysis.

Security Evaluation:
Security is a cover against loans and advances. It ensures recovery of loans and
advances. Securities play an extremely important role in a loan granting decision.
Valuation of Primary Security

Primary security means the security offered by the borrower himself as cover for
the loan. It refers to the asset, which has been bought with the help of the bank. Such as
when machinery or some goods have been bought with the help of the bank the
machinery and goods constitute the primary security.
❖ Murabaha Post Import (MPI) MPI facility is allowed, as post-import finance
against imported goods under the Bank's L/Cs. MPI facility does not exceed invoice
value net of L/C margin unless the Bank agrees to finance duties/VAT. However,
where market price of the goods is lower than landed cost banks makes necessary
arrangement with the customer to obtain additional deposit.
❖ Murabaha Valuation of the goods to be pledged to the Bank against Murabaha
limit in no case exceeds:
▪ The landed cost or market prices whichever is lower in case of imported goods.
▪ The mill/factory price of market price whichever is lower is case of domestically
manufactured commodities as evidenced by invoice.
▪ The wholesale price/competitive market price duly verified by the Branch and
approved by Head Office.
44
Valuation of Collateral Security
All other additional security other than the primary securities such as land or
building etc. are considered as collateral securities which may be offered or deposited by
the borrower or, by any other third party.
The Bank follows the following steps for valuation of collateral security:
❖ The property is physically inspected and verified jointly by 2 (two) bank's
Officers. A valuation certificate mentioning market value and forced sale value is
prepared in a designated form supplied to the officials and is jointly signed by the
inspecting officers of the Bank. The forced sale value of the collateral security is
to be 1.5 times higher than the facility/facilities allowed.
❖ "A Site Plan" and "Map" along with 3R size district photographs of the
mortgaged property covering full exposure from 3 angles mentioning detailed
particulars on the back of the photographs.
❖ The collateral security must be in the physical possession of the mortgagor and
the mortgagor/owner has valid title over it.
❖ A letter of satisfaction from the Bank's Lawyer is obtained that the mortgage
formality has been properly created.
DOCUMENTATION
The bank does not disburse any loan facility until the required documentation is properly
completed. After completion of credit investigation, the bank official begins to prepare
investment proposal. The investment proposal defines clearly amount and type of
investment, the purpose of the facility, summary of the results of risk assessment, the
sources of repayment, tenor, covenants, the agreed repayment schedule, profit and value
of security.
Where security is to be accepted as collateral for the facility all documentation relating to
the security are to be in the approved form. All approval procedures and required
documentation are completed and all securities are in place, prior to the disbursement of
the facilities. There may be requirement of specific banking or legal documents to secure
a investment according to sanction terms and conditions. All required documents are
required before any investment is disbursed.
45
APPROVAL AUTHORITY
After preparing the investment proposal by the branch officers, it is sent to the head
office for approval to the approval authority. To ensure proper and orderly conduct of the
business of the Bank, the Board of Director empowers the Managing Director and other
Executives of the Bank to finance up to certain amount under certain terms and
conditions at their discretion.
Time Schedule for Investment Appraisal Process:
There is no exact time required for the total investment appraisal process. It varies
for different types of investments. EXIM Bank depends a lot on CIB report of the
borrower and for previous track record. Therefore if the CIB report is clean and provided
by the central bank promptly, then it is up to Banks efficient service that how quickly the
bank can serve its customers by appraising the credit proposal.
Investment Recovery:
The Law and Recovery unit of Head office directly manage the continued declining
accounts. The recovery unit functions as following way:
 Determine account action plan/recovery strategy.

 Pursue all options to maximize recovery.
 Ensure sufficient and timely investment loss provisions are made based on
actual and expected losses.
 Regular review of the weak accounts.

Financial Analysis:
Investment Scenario:
Financial soundness of all banks depends on the performance of its disbursed loan on
various sectors. Loan performance means how the loans were scheduled to act and how
they are actually acting. It is closely associated with timely and steady repayment of
interest and principal of a loan. A loan is said to be well performed when its repayment is
duly made. If a loan fails to be repaid duly for some consecutive period or installments, it
falls under the classification criteria.

The total amount of investment of the bank stood at TK 99,699.62 million as on
December 31, 2011 as against TK 93,296.64 million as on December 31, 2010 showing
an increases investment with the growth rate of 6.86%. But investment increases hugely
on 2010 rather than from 2009, in terms of percentage which are 35.98%. Investments are
the core asset of the bank. The bank should give emphasis to acquire quality assets and
does appropriate investment risk analysis while approving commercial and trade
investment to clients.
Investment scenario compare with Deposit:
Investment/Loan is the core income sector for each & every financial institution
but for doing investment they need to depend on clients’ deposit. So for what they need
to look for deposit to invest in several sectors and besides that also need to look on cash
liquidation by which they can able to fulfill the depositors demand because depositors
have first priority on their money if bank fails to pay their money at on time, then bank
reputation will be decreases. Here it seems that last four year EXIM bank provides above
90% of deposits on investment purposes which are quite risky for a bank from the
purpose of liquidation. But good thing is that they can able to fulfill of customer demand
for what their growth rate of deposit increases continuously rather than from preceding
year same as on investment. The ratio of investment to compare with deposits is given
below in table and chart:

Under this classification it seems that “Over 3 months but not more than 1 year”
represents greater volume than any other in last four year. Bank normally gave less
concentration on “Repayable on demand” because it generated less investment income.
And other sides EXIM bank also prefer to invest on more than five years sectors because
of more profitable amount.

Percentage of Maturity Wise Classification against Total Investment

(TI):
It shows that EXIM bank prefer to invest on more than 3 months but less than 1
year sector because of less risky, cash liquidation and profitable sector which shows the
good strategy of the bank management. More than 5 years investment has on their 2nd
preference which are quite risky for a bank. Most important thing is that bank
management gives less concern to invest on repayable on demand investment, which are
relatively riskier for the EXIM bank. Because EXIM bank invest almost 90% of his
deposit on investment purposes and among them only 1% to 2% are on repayable on
demand sector so for what their has a chance of cash liquidation in case of huge
depositors demand.

situation in 2011 to comparison with 2010. Here it shows that there has been a decrease
not only in total amount also in Bangladesh & outside region.

whereverin this section investment amount decreased 52.10% from 2010 to 2011. Other
sides payable within 1 to 3 month bill discounted & purchased investment increased
hugely form 2010 to 2011, in terms of percentage which is 306.16% so it can be said that
they should be focused more on payable less than 1 month investment as like as payable

Geographical Location Wise Classification of Investment:
Actually production activities are performed mainly in rural areas and financial
activities are performed in urban areas. So from this perspectives EXIM bank
invest/finance more in the urban area. One thing to note is that a country’s economy
mostly depends on rural area, so it can be said that only 4% to 5% investment only rural
area is not satisfactory. However, it appears good that their investment on rural sectors
was increasing rather than from urban areas on 2011 in comparison to 2010.
In rural areas (Bangladesh) 4,058,955,605 4,407,290,012 8.58%

Industry Wise Classification of Investment:
It is particularly important to monitor whether the increase of investment in the

economy is concentrated in sectors that are vulnerable to shifts in economic activity.
Investment concentration in a specific economic sector or activity makes banks
vulnerable to adverse developments in that sector or activity. Hence, the quality of a
financial institution's investment portfolios is closely related to the financial health and
profitability of its borrowers.
Table shows that the most of the loans in 2011, 2010, 2009& 2008 are concentrated in
trading sector such like as about 70,828.62 million taka, which is about 71% of total in
2011.So it’s clear than bank prefers mostly in trading sector. Nevertheless, most
important thing is that banks provide less preference on garments, textile and agro based
industries, which are the most economical sectors of Bangladesh. And it seems that, in
last four years, investment amount on this sectors are fluctuating and some sector
investment decreased continuously.

There has a complements that 80% profit will comes from 20% clients from that
thinking EXIM bank makes leagues with some renewed organization with whom bank
doing business for longer time and for what at a certain time they became a part of EXIM
bank, some of their investment amount are given above.
Types of Classified Investment:
Performance of bank’s investment is usually measured through the percentage of

classified and unclassified investment of total outstanding. If the amount of classified
investment is high, overall investment performance of a bank is poor and low amount of
classified investment indicates an effective and efficient performance.
Loan classification is required to have a real picture of the loan and advances
provided by the Bank. It helps to monitor and take appropriate decision regarding each
loan account. All types of loans fall into following four scales:
Categories of investments and advances of a bank:

 Un-classified: The repayment of investment and advances are regular.
 Sub-standard: The repayment of investment and advances are irregular
but has reasonable prospect of improvement.
 Doubtful debt: It is unlikely to be repaid but special collection efforts may

result in partial recovery.
 Bad/loss: There is little chance of recovery of investments and advances.
59
Classification Wise Investment:
Status of investment is one of the criterions of judging the performance of a bank.

In case of classified or unsound investment EXIM Bank's performance has not been
changed on last four years. With the increase of investment disbursement the amount of
classified investment, especially bad investment, has increased quite fast to compare with
their investment in 2011. In 2011 doubtful investment also increased than previous years.
The share of bad/loss investment, which has no possibility of recovery other than
legal measures, is very high in 2011 compare to 2010. This indicates banks flexibility
regarding credit facility &recovery system. Also doubtful investment has risen quite
sharply this year. In 2011EXIM Bank has 60% bad investment. And the proportion of
substandard investmentalso increased on 2011 year.

Basically bank invests the depositors money into several sector but it’s quite
tough to recover 100% of the investment, that’s mean some the investment will be
classified. Basically bank’s performance depends on lower rate of classified investment
and higher rate of recovery. Last four years EXIM bank has averagely 2% classified
investment of total investment, which seems satisfactory. In 2011 classified investment
percentage to comparison with total investment are decreased which shows the good
recovery rather than from preceding year i.e. 2010..

Basically provision is one kind of fund which will be deposited in to Bangladesh
bank from the concern of depositors. Banks collects money from the depositors and
invests those among to the borrowers so for that as a central bank Bangladesh bank are
totally responsible to follow up on depositor’s money. That means if bank fails to recover
invested amount on that time bank need to deposit certain portion of those unrecoverable
amount into the Bangladesh bank according to Bangladesh bank rules. Way of
calculating provision required for investment of EXIM bank is shown in above.
Percentage of Provision made Yearly Based to Compare with

Investment:
Provision is an expense set aside as an allowance for bad loans, which will
deposited into the Bangladesh Bank. It seems into table that, in last four years EXIM
bank need to deposit less than 1% of their total investment into the Bangladesh bank as a
provision for during year. Figures seem satisfactory from this perspective.

Pledged Collateral Against Investment:
Pledged collateral refers to assets that are used to secure a loan. The borrower
pledges assets or property to the lender to guarantee or secure the loan. Pledging assets,
also referred to as hypothecation, does not transfer ownership of the property to the
creditor, but gives the creditor a non-possessory interest in the property. This means that
the borrower still retains the ownership of the property, but the lender has a claim against
it. It seems into the table that, in 2011 EXIM bank provide 83.84% investment against the
100% pledged collateral that means an investor gets 80 tk. for 100 tk. collateral, which
was 70.83% in 2010.

Comparison of Investment Income with Total Income:
Investment is the core sector for a bank, basically most of the income comes from
this sector. That’s mean if the loan/investment sector is more than a bank can be able to
generate more profit likewise EXIM bank also give more emphasis on this sector. In
2011, they got 83.05% investment income from their total income which is the largest
portion among the last four years. So it can be said that EXIM bank focused more on
investment income rather than commission, brokerage, gain from share securities &
others, which shows the majestic idea of bank management.

performance are relatively poor to compare with other conventional & Islamic
bank.
✓ The competitor banks of EXIM Bank Ltd have more geographical coverage than
EXIM Bank Ltd.
✓ Rules and regulation of Bangladesh Bank defers with Islami banking system. So
they have to face various problems to operate their activities according to the
Islamic Shariah.
✓ Few other conventional banks have opened their Islamic Banking Branch or
program.

Major Observation & Recommendation 72-79
72
Major observation:
From the analysis of the investment program it can be accomplished that

performance & financial situation of investment program of EXIM bank are more or less
in good position from different aspects & attributes. From the analysis &observation
following findings are found:-
✓ Lengthier investment procedure: Investment procedure of EXIM bank takes too

time for completion the overall task. It’s starting from gathering client
information and preparing the proposal by branch, and subsequently they sending
the proposal to the head office and thereafter wait for Executor Meeting and
afterwards submit proposal to the meeting, if they find every things are ok then
loan will be approved otherwise proposal will be resend to the branch for
additional changing. After all of this procurement if Board of Investment thing
that everything are fine then they will inform the clients that we have this terms &
condition if clients are agree with those then finance will be sanctioned.
✓ Illegal Pressure from higher authority: In case of investment, some big parties
are applied for investment in reference with the high officials of the bank. They
do not submit all papers that required for an investment account & in future they
do not feel any urge to submit their papers and in this case, it’s tough to calculate
the issuing amount against on his/her collateral due to lack of information.
✓ Obstacle by the higher authority at time of marking someone as a Classified

Investment: When any individual or institution missed persistently, more than 2
or 3 installment on that time his/her account will be marked as classified
investment according to Bangladesh bank law but several time bank can’t do that
because of client or higher authority’s request on that time it makes problem for
the bank to maintain Bangladesh bank rules & regulation.
73
✓ Insufficient ATM booth: EXIM bank has only 11 ATM booths in overall
Bangladesh, which are not so sufficient to encourage the clients about credit card
of EXIM bank. Without one the entire ATM booth into the Dhaka region and
several times some of them can’t able to perform because of money crisis,
network or machine problems.
✓ Chance of raising cash liquidation problem: Last four years, EXIM bank
financed above 90% of their deposit for Investment purposes, which are quite
risky for a bank from aspects of cash liquidation.
✓ Less focus on short term Investment: By analyzing of last four years financial
scenario of Investment, it asserted that they gave less focus on demand loan &
less than 3 months investment, if its goes for longer time then it may be a big deal
from perspectives of cash liquidation.
✓ More focus on Urban Area: Production activities are performed mainly in rural
areas and financial activities are performed in urban areas. So from this
perspectives EXIM bank invest/finance more onto the urban area but other thing
is that countries’ economies not only depend on urban area also on rural area so it
can be said that only 4% to 5% investment only into the rural area are not
satisfied able.
✓ More focus on Dhaka region: EXIM bank has almost 45% of branches into the
Dhaka region who take place 80% of investment of total and rest of the 20% are
performed by outside the Dhaka’s branches.
✓ Strong Investment recovery division: Investment performance of a bank usually
depends on classified investment of total outstanding and from this perspectives
investment department performance are satisfy able just for 1% to 2% of total
outstanding.
✓ Strong collateral has deposited against investment: Pledged collateral refers to
assets that are used to secure a loan. If mortgage amount are higher than the
investment amount on that time bank are in secured situation, from this
perspectives investment of EXIM bank are in good situation because of providing
83.84% investment against the 100% pledged collateral.
74
✓ Upright income scenario: By analyzing their income scenario it seems that
income from investment picture are in satisfied situation.
✓ Credit risk grading: At the time of risk assessment, the risk managers are used
to obtain an integrated CRG & CIB for all corporate and individual customers.
✓ Insufficient time for risk assessment: The managers often have insufficient time
for credit risk management. Huge workload and time constraints for loan approval
prevent them from through assessment. So, it’s very troublesome to manage the
risk in a prudent manner for the risk managers.
✓ Lack of information into the credit proposal: Risk managers often could not
find all necessary documents and information for credit risk assessment. That’s
why risk managers use their assumption and experiences on risk management.
✓ Problems of Financial analysis: Most of the borrowers do not have audited
financials. They provided a financial statement which does not follow the rules of
accounting. On that time risk managers need to use assumption to calculate for the
necessary ratio so there have the question of accuracy.
75
Recommendation:
Banking is a service oriented marketing organization. Its business profit depends on

its service quality. That’s why the authority should be aware about their service quality.
Though EXIM Bank provides quality service to its customer but it has some weakness in
overall performance. To wipe out this weakness I have made the following suggested
solution.
✓ Improve investment procedure: An integrated planning should be made to

reduce time taken by the investment appraisal procedures of EXIM Bank Ltd. The
officers of the branch level should make a plan for the sequence of activities.
✓ No Interpersonal relationship: One proper standard procedure should be
developed for all types of clients and no interpersonal relationship should be
involved in approve a investment.
✓ Decentralized some power about investment sanction: EXIM Bank practice
centralized disbursement system. Branch cannot sanction any investment except
MTDR. If head office give branch a certain level of power to sanction investment
then the invest process will be faster and efficient.
✓ Special procedure for valuable clients: There is a lack of coordination between
Branch and Head office. For this, sometimes Branch investment offices can't able
to finance to their valuable clients. Head office has to give certain level of power
to the branch authority, so that they can keep the client for long time.
✓ Early Alert Account system for installment timeline: An Early Alert Account
system (EWS) should be introduced to have adequate monitoring, supervision or
close attention by management.( An early Alert Account is one that has risk and
potential weaknesses of a material nature)
✓ Introduce attractive investment scheme: EXIM bank should make its
investment schemes more attractive for availing high-return projects.
✓ More focus on demand investment: EXIM bank should more focus on demand
investment by which they can able to face the uncertainty of cash liquidation.
76
✓ Utilize the potentiality of rural areas: EXIM bank should consider utilization of
rural potentials from both efficiency and equity grounds in the context of the
present-day socio-economic conditions of Bangladesh. Strong commitments and
stepping up through experiment and implementation of innovative ideas are the
appropriate ways to do that.
✓ Increase Promotional Activities: EXIM Bank should pursue an aggressive
advertising campaign in order to build up a strong image & reputation among the
potential customers. It must give the idea of maintaining a low profit in the
market. Rather it should come in to the limelight through an aggressive marketing
campaign such as advertisement in newspaper & magazine, more billboard &
neon signs, publicity message & promotional campaigns. EXIM Bank can also
pursue promotional campaigns with its customers particularly the corporate
clients in order to build up a stronger rapport with them. Advertisement to be
made in Newspaper, Journal, Magazine, TV etc. TV advertisement is also a major
method for attracting the potential customers. The bank can sponsor sports event
of the country.
✓ EXIM bank should deserve immediate attention in the promotion of the image of
Shariah based banks as PLS (profit-loss-sharing) banks.
✓ EXIM bank can diffuse its scope of investment through focusing Shariah concept
regarding investment among the bank officers; employer and the clients by strong
training, workshops.
77
Conclusion
Banking sectors no more depends on only on a traditional method of banking. In

this competitive world now a day's banking sector is wide enough to cover any kind of
financial services, not only from the local banks but also from the foreign banks. The
major task of bank is to survive the services in this competitive environment by managing
its assets and liabilities in an efficient way. To make the assets specially investment and
advances banks must have too more careful and otherwise this asset will became a burden
for the bank.
EXIM bank within a short period of just few years has made good progress in
terms of profitability and growth rate of deposits and Investment& advances despite
tremendous competition in the industry and world economic crisis. The bank has to keep
updating its investment operation. Although for the time being the figures are good but
the trend in the figure indicate that unless the bank becomes more prudent in its
investment granting process else it can become laden with heavy bad debts.
Success in the banking business largely depends on effective lending. Less the
amount of loan losses, the more the income will be from investment operation the more
will be the profit and here lies the success of EXIM Bank Limited.
