Credit risk is the possibility that a borrower or counter party will fail to meet its obligations in accordance with agreed terms. Credit risk, therefore, arises from the banks dealings with or lending to corporates, individuals, and other banks or financial institutions. Credit risk management needs to be a robust process that enables banks to proactively manage loan portfolios in order to minimize losses and earn an acceptable level of return for shareholders. Central to this is a Comprehensive IT system, which should have the ability to capture all key customer data, risk management and transaction information including trade & ore!. "iven the fast changing, dynamic global economy and the increasing pressure of globalization, liberalization, consolidation and dis# intermediation, it is essential that banks have robust credit risk management policies and procedures that are sensitive and responsive to these changes. $he purpose of this document is to provide directional guidelines to the banking sector that will improve the risk management culture, establish minimum standards for segregation of duties and responsibilities, and assist in the ongoing improvement of the banking sector in Bangladesh. www.AssignmentPoint.com 1 ORIGINS OF THE REPORT: $he Report $itled %Credit &anagement 'olicy( ) Case *tudy +n )B Bank ,s ) 'artial Re-uirement +f $he BB) 'rogram. $he ,nternship 'rogram .as Carried +ut ,n Commercial Credit /ivision &ain Branch +f )B Bank 0nder $he *upervisor. /uring $he ,nternship $he *tudent )re Re-uired $o 'repare ) Report +n $he +rganization .here 1e 1as Been )ttached. )ssigned By $he "uide $eacher $his Report ,s 'repared )s 'artial fulfilment +f BB) Re-uirement OBJECTIVE OF THE REPORT $he 'rincipal ,ntent +f $his Report ,s $o 2!amine Credit 'olicy 3f )b Bankltd. ,n 'articular $he +b4ectives )re ollws5 6 $o 1ave ) "lance )t $he Commercial Banking *ystem ,n Bangladesh. 7 $o 2!amine $he 'resent Banking *ystem ,n Bangladesh. 8 $o "et )-uainted .ith $he 9oan *tructure *ize 'rofile +f *ector .ise +utstanding 'osition +f 9oans )nd *ystem +f 9oan Classification +f )B Bank . : $o ;now $he /eposit Behavior +f <CBs CBs 'CBs )nd )B Bank )nd $o Cross 2!amine )ny *tructural Changes Regarding /eposit Behavior. = $o R>2!amine $he Credit +perations By +ur Commercial Banking *ystem ? $o 2!plain $he 'rocedures *ystems +f Credit &anagement )nd )ppraisal +f )b Bank. @ $o ind +ut $he <ature )nd *ize +f 'roblem 9oans ,n )b Bank A $o ind +ut $he Causes +f 'roblem 9oan B $o )nalyze $he 2ffects +f 'roblems 9oan +n ,ncome +f )b Bank. 63 $o 2valuate $he Carious 9oans 'rograms +f )b Bank .hich ,ncludes ,ndustrial $rade )nd Commerce $ransport 2tc. 66 $o ,nspect $he Recovery +f 9oans +f )B Bank 67 $o 2!amine .hether $he )ttributes +f "ook 'erformance )re +bserved ,n )B Bank. www.AssignmentPoint.com 1 www.AssignmentPoint.com 1 SCOPE OF THE STUDY )B Bank 9td. ,s one of the leading and first commercial Bank in Bangladesh. $he scope of the study is limited to the Board Bazar Branch#"azipur only. $he report covers the organizational structure,background,functions and the performance of the bank LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY $he following limitations are apparent in the report5 /eficiencies in data re-uired for the study. ,naccurate or contradictory information. ield practice varies with the standard practice that also created problem.

G'o4a' E)ono& .orld economic growth strengthened in the year 733? as the global gross domestic product D"/'E registered a growth of 8.B percent compared to 8.= percent in 733=. /espite rising oil prices Dthat topped R@= a barrel during the course of the yearE, rising short#term interest rates, and a bout of volatility of financial market, the global growth accelerated in the overall. $his strong global performance was driven by very rapid e!pansion in developing economies, which grew by @ percent # more than twice as fast as high income countries D8.6 percentE. ,n the overall, 8A percent of the increase in global output originated in developing countries which far e!ceeded these economies 77 percent share in world "/'. )lthough broadly based, strong performance by China D63.: percent growthE played a significant role in the recent e!pansion of developing economies which grew by @ percent. ,t is of significance that e!cluding China and ,ndia DA.@ percent growthE, developing countries grew by =.= percent thereby playing important roles in the global economic performance. ast growth of developing countries over the past five years has been fueled by low interest rates and abundant global li-uidity. $his has led to rising commodity prices and over#heating in some high#income and developing countries. $his, in turn, has provoked a tightening of monetary policy that is in part is responsible for slowdown at the global level towards the later part of the year. 1owever, in most countries strong productivity growth, due in part to the absorption of China and the former 2astern Block countries into the global economy, has checked inflationary pressures. ,n the 0nited *tates, the acceleration of industrial output began at a torrid pace of =.? percent during the year. )s a result 0* "/' had a positive growth in 733?. 1owever, responding to higher short#term interest rates, spending in the housing sector declined and also had a moderating effect on the consumer demand. $his resulted in the slowing down of the economy to 6.? percent annualized growth rate in the third -uarter of 733?. 1owever, profit, foreign investment and consumption remained robust while inflation and unemployment remained low. Conse-uent upon all these factors, 0* economy is e!pected to grow by 8.7 percent as a whole. 2uropean economy also e!perienced growth in 733? after several years of weakness. "rowth accelerated in the first half of the year as "/' e!panded by about 8.8 percent over that period. $his is mostly driven by private consumption and increased investment spending. 1owever, slower growth in the third -uarter for rance had an impact on the overall growth but the full year "/' growth in 2urope is estimated to be 7.= percent. ,n Iapan, the "/' was estimated to have e!panded by 7.B percent in 733?. ) slowdown in e!ports contributed to weaker growth in the second -uarter of the year, but growth rebounded in the third -uarter led by a surge in investment spending. 1igh oil prices and the rapid pace of global growth have contributed to a gradual increase in inflation among developing countries. $hese countries e!perienced rising inflation in response to higher oil prices, but it has since declined, reflecting both solid productivity growth and the impact of more credible monetary policies. ,n contrast, in high#income economies inflation rose to about 7.@ percent from 6.8 percent before falling towards the end of the year matching with the falling oil prices. ,n the overall, limited inflationary pressures and high savings among oil e!porters and in 2urope are e!pected to keep long term interest rates low. &oreover, improved fundamentals have boosted growth rates in many developing countries. )ll these factors cumulatively suggest the continuation of robust economic performance in 733@ barring unanticipated reversals. So*t$ Asian E)ono& *outh )sian region e!perienced A.7 percent growth during the year 733?. $his marked the fourth year of consecutive "/' growth of over @.= percent for the region. 'rivate sector # led growth backed#up by improved macro management and greater integration in the economy were the contributing factors. 9oose monetary and fiscal policies and strong remittance inflows also played a role, providing a boost to domestic demand. ,ndia the largest economy in the region, led the way with a "/' growth of A.@ percent during the year. 2lsewhere in the region, growth was less rapid compared to ,ndia but nevertheless robust at ?.= percent. ,n 'akistan industrial output was up by 67 percent partly reflecting improved sale of te!tiles and clothing. ,n Bangladesh, growth rebounded owing to stronger remittance inflows and by vibrant services and manufacturing sector output. ,n *ri 9anka growth picked up to an estimated @ percent due to a good harvest and recovery after tsunami. +ther smaller economies like Bhutan and &aldives also e!perienced growth while in <epal economic activity slowed due to political conflict. $hroughout much of the region, supply was unable to keep up with demand, resulting in rising inflation and rapidly growing imports. /uring the year, import volumes increased by 7: percent e!ceeding the e!port growth of 77 percent for the region. )t the same time, despite rapidly rising ta! revenues, fiscal deficits remained elevated at @.6 percent of "/' in the region because of increased implicit subsidization of energy costs and ma4or public sector investment programs and reconstruction e!penditures. ,nflation in the region has risen from 8.A percent in 7338 to @.A percent in the last -uarter of 733?. Real "/' in *outh )sia is e!pected to slow down gradually from A.7 percent to still robust @ percent. .eaker e!ternal demand, tighter domestic monetary and fiscal policies, and tighter international markets are all factors contributing to the e!pected slowdown. 'rospects for individual countries will be affected by weather, political developments, rising oil prices among others. Ban!'a+es$ E)ono& Bangladesh economy continued on the growth path in 733? and achieved a higher growth compared to the year 733= mainly driven by a strong post#flood agriculture recovery. "rowth was also fuelled by notable e!pansion of the manufacturing sector. 2conomic growth was also aided by strong growth of e!ports and remittances from abroad. $his is a noteworthy performance in the face of rising oil price, rise in import costs and also the phase out of the &ulti #iber )rrangement D&)E. "/' growth was registered at ?.@ percent in the year 733?. "rowth performance of the economy was led by the post#flood recovery of the agriculture sector which was :.= percent in 733? compared to 7.7 percent in the year before. *trong growth in crops, horticulture and fishing were mainly responsible for such growth. )t the same time, industrial sector attained B.? percent growth during the year which is way above the previous yearPs growth of A.8 percent. $his higher growth rate was sustained through strong performances in the manufacturing arena facilitated by strong and sustained growth in e!port oriented manufacturing activities and e!pansion of domestic demands. ,n the overall, service sector of the economy grew by ?.= percent. $he growth was fairly spread in different sub#sectors which in turn were related to increase in industrial out put and increase in trade related activities. *tructural transformation of economy was aimed at through giving new focus on the development of the *mall & &edium 2nterprises D*&2sE sector. ) credit line was established in the Bangladesh Bank with the support of the )sian /evelopment Bank D)/BE and the .orld Bank D.BE, respectively. ,n the year 733?, *&2 sector e!perienced sizeable growth in the field of rice mills, dairy products, knitwear, leather products, paper and paper products, light engineering, etc. CountryPs foreign e!change reserve crossed the 0* R :.3 billion mark for the first time in the history at the beginning of the year 733@. 'resent level of reserves covers for over three months of imports of the country. 2!ports and remittances from the <on# resident Bangladeshis D<RBsE continued to achieve strong growth in the year 733? while import growth slowed down to a sustainable level. 2!ports grew 76.? percent to 0*R 63,:77 million over the previous year. )t the same time, remittances by the <RBs grew by 7:.A percent at 0*R :,A37 million. .hile, total import was registered at 0*R 68,836 million showing a growth of 67.6 percent during the year. 2!port earnings achieved more than e!pected growth in the post &) situation due to higher e!port demand in the 0* and the 2uropean markets. ,mpressive growth of 8=.: percent was achieved in the knitwear sector driven by a volume growth of 8@.: percent. CountryPs e!port of raw Iute also e!perienced significant growth of =: percent over the year 733=. &ore significantly, country is gradually shifting towards a diversified e!port base. Bangladesh has been included in the Lne!t elevenL a group of nations having economic growth potential by "oldman *achs. Relative slowdown of total import was mainly attributable to the reduced import of food grains, milk products, spices and most other edible products. 1owever, import of industrial raw materials and capital machineries increased signifying the dynamism in investment activities in the country. $he commodities whose import payments, however, increased significantly include crude petroleum and '+9 reflecting the volatile international market for those. $he overall balance of payments recorded a significant surplus of 0*R 8?= million D0*R?@ million in 733=E at the end of the year 733? reflecting a notable improvement in the current account balance and a larger surplus in the capital account. /espite noteworthy performance of the e!ternal sector, the foreign e!change market e!perienced substantial pressure in the year 733?. 'ressures on $aka#0* /ollar e!change rate generated by continued price hike for import of petroleum and many other ma4or commodities coupled with higher growth of lending to the private sector D6A.8 percentE created all such pressure situation. ,n 733?, the nominal $aka#0* /ollar e!change rate depreciated by A.? percent in the overall. 1owever, the real effective e!change rate of $aka depreciated by =.8 percent providing a boost to the countryPs e!ternal competitiveness. ,nflation in the economy showed upward trend in 733?. 'ressures on consumer prices emerged mainly through rising import prices of fuel, food items, other consumer items and production inputs feeding into domestic prices. /epreciation of $aka further contributed to rising consumer prices. $he annual average inflation increased to @.7 percent in Iune, 733?. Bangladesh Bank continued to pursue a restrained monetary policy stance with a view to curb e!cess demand from inflationary e!pectations while supporting the sustainable real "/' growth. /uring the year, the Cash Reserve Re-uirement DCRRE and the *tatutory 9i-uidity Ratio D*9RE were raised from :.= and 6?.3 percent respectively to =.3 and 6A.3 percent towards slowing down of the growth of domestic credit. Besides, repo and reverse repo interest rates and treasury bills M bond yield rates were kept at an uptrend towards slowing down the credit growth rate. Broad money D&7E grew by 6B.8 percent during the year which was much higher than 733= growth of 6?.@ percent and far e!ceeded the pro4ection of 6:.8 percent growth. 'ublic sector credit grew substantially by 83.? percent mainly to finance higher cost of imports of fuel. $otal domestic credit grew by 76.6 percent, while credit to private sector grew by 6A.8 percent reflecting acceleration of economic activities. $he declining trend of interest rates that persisted over a period till year 733= reversed in 733? keeping pace with the tightened monetary policy. CountryPs revenue collection scenario through the <ational Board of Revenue D<BRE remains much lower than the pro4ection. )mong other factors low tariff rates on many importable items, lower import volume due to political crisis were mainly responsible for such a situation. /espite stronger growth of some macroeconomic indicators, Bangladesh economy faced some challenges originating from price hike of oil, some imported commodities in the international market causing fluctuations in real sector and foreign e!change market. )s a result, the financial market was volatile during the year. $he call money market was also volatile for a period of time due to increase of "overnment borrowing from the banking system for financing higher priced imports. $ill /ecember 733?, "overnment borrowing stood at $aka ?8.=3 billion. /ue to such a development, banks and financial institutions were forced to mobilize deposit at a higher rate resulting in higher pricing on credit and forcing restrains, at times. O3e(a'' Ban.in! Se)to( inancial sector reforms to strengthen the regulatory and supervisory framework for banks made headway in 733? although at a slower than e!pected pace. +verall health of the banking system showed improvement since 7337 as the gross <on# performing 9oans D<'9E declined from 7A percent to 6: percent while net <'9 Dless 'rovisionE reduced to A percent from 76 percent. $his led significant improvement in the profitability ratios. )lthough the 'rivate Commercial Banks D'CBE <'9 ratio registered a record low of ? percent, the four <ationalized Commercial Banks D<CBE position are still weak and showed very high <'9 at 7= percent. $he <CBs have large capital shortfalls with a risk#weighted capital asset ratio of 4ust 3.= percent DIune 733?E as against the re-uired B percent. or the 'CBs risk#weighted capital asset ratio stood at 63 percent. Bangladesh Bank issued a good number of prudential guidelines during the year 733? and the first -uarter of 733@ which among others relate to DiE rationalization of prudential norms for loan classification and provisioning, DiiE policy for rescheduling of loans, DiiiE designing and enforcing an Lintegrated credit risk grading manualL, DivE credit rating of the banks, and DvE revisions to the make#up of $ier#7 capital. Besides, recent decision of the "overnment to corporatize the remaining three <CBs along with the initiative to sale the Rupali Bank are bound to usher in changes in the banking sector competitiveness aspect. Bangladesh Bank has also taken up the task of implementing the Basel ,, capital accord. urther, the recent enactment of the &icro#credit Regulatory )uthority )ct D&R))E for the regulation of the &icro inance ,nstitutions D&,E has been a ma4or development in the year 733?. *ince 6BBA C)&29 rating of banks gradually improved and in 733?
