led the bank realized that the previously neglected Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) sector plays
significant role in generating growth and creating employment in the country. Over the past few
decades, traditional banks were reluctant to invest in this sector. At a time when it was almost
impossible for the SME entrepreneurs to get financing from the banking sector in Bangladesh, BRAC
Bank stepped forward and came to finance these unbanked SME entrepreneurs.

Chapter 2
My internship at BRAC Bank Limited started on April 17 th and it ended on July 18th. During these 3
months I was assigned at Brac Bank Head office. During this short period, I have experienced real
professional world and its manners. I have come to know several professional manners, training
manners and organization’s behaviors. During this 12 week I have gone through following
responsibilities-
I worked as an intern in the Account Services Department under the Operations Division at the Brac
Bank Head office during my internship. I had the opportunity to work with TD Opening Team and
Maintenance Team during that time.
By the time of internship, the role of the intern is to supervise and assist in doing day to day activities
of a particular department. The contribution was highly appreciated when working as an intern at
BRAC Bank Limited, Where the main effort was to provide the most extreme assistance to bank
officers and to assist them in facilitating their work. The commitments included my daily help with
their operational activities to the department of the Accounts Services Team and officers.
I learned how the Government and the Bank of Bangladesh are preventing banks from being used as a
channel for money laundering and criminal funding. Bangladesh Bank requires banks to file CTR
(Cash Transaction Report) if there is a one-day transaction over 10 lakes. The banks are also required
to file STR (Suspicious Transaction Report) when there is any suspicious or unfamiliar transaction in
any of the bank accounts. We have a project called "CTR Related AOF Fields Update."
This project aims at collecting the missing account level information from the AOF and cross -
checking the information with the Finacle system where the Branch Governance department provides
the updated information.
Update securities of SME, Retail loan & Account opening files in checklist
Update securities of these files in central database using “Finacle” a software that is currently
BBL using

Creating Top least based on these data by using Microsoft Excel where loan file no and loan
account no of a client can be found. Updated Trade license, passport and NID number into the
system and checked the related document
Finally used to update these data in net server and used to make report to project manager at
the end of work.
Worked with current account & saving account closing team.
This division's core focus is "Forwarding digitalization to simplify processes." Under this division
there were eight departments until 2016, two new departments named Credit Administration and
Process Reengineering were added in 2017.

Chapter 3
After the independence, banking industry in Bangladesh began its journey with 6 state-owned
commercialized banks .2 State owned specialized banks and 3 Foreign Banks. In the 1980's banking
industry achieved significant expansion with the entrance of private banks. Presently, banks in
Bangladesh are fundamentally of two kinds (Source: Bangladesh Bank)
Scheduled Banks: Banks which inspire license to operate under Bank Company Act,1991
(Amended up to 2013) are named as Scheduled Banks.
Non-Scheduled Banks: Banks which are built up for extraordinary and explicit goal and
operate under the demonstrations that are ordered for getting together those targets, are
named as Non-Scheduled Banks. These banks can't play out all elements of scheduled
banks.
There are 58 scheduled banks in Bangladesh who operate under full control and supervision of
Bangladesh Bank which is enabled to do as such through Bangladesh Bank Order, 1972 and Bank
Company Act,1991. Schedule Banks are characterized into following kinds:
State Owned Commercial Banks (SOCBs): There are 6 SOCBs which are completely or
significantly owned by the Government of Bangladesh.
Specialized Banks (SDBs): Two specialized banks are presently working which were built up
for particular targets like rural or modern advancement. These banks are likewise completely
or significantly owned by the Government of Bangladesh.
Private Commercial Banks (PCBs): There are 41 private commercial banks which are
significantly owned by the private entities. PCBs can be classified into two groups:
Conventional PCBs: There are 33 customary PCBs are currently operating in the industry.
They play out banking functions in conventional growth i.e. interest based operations.
Islamic Shariah based PCBs: There are 8 Islamic Shariah based PCBs in
Bangladesh and they execute banking activities as indicated by Islamic Shariah
based standards. i.e. Profit Loss Sharing (PLS) mode.
20 | P a g e
Foreign Commercial Banks (FCBs): There are 9 FCBs are working in Bangladesh as the
branches of the banks which are incorporated in abroad.
The most important duty that is done by a bank is increase its capital. Then, good performance of
the bank is usually measured as per its profitability levels and has been essential to shareholders,
customers as well as for banks continued survival and expansion.
According to the Bangladesh Bank and Banking Career in Bangladesh, banks are divided into four
groups according to their commencement of business (BCIB, 2016). The four groups of banks in
Bangladesh are given below:
AB Bank, Islami Bank Bangladesh, National Bank, IFIC Bank, Pubali Bank, The City Bank,
United Commercial Bank, Uttara Bank, ICB Islamic Bank, Agrani Bank, Janata Bank, Rupali
Bank, Sonali Bank, BASIC Bank, Bangladesh Krishi Bank, Rajshahi Krishi Unnayan Bank.
Prime Bank, Dhaka Bank, Dutch-Bangla Bank, Eastern Bank, Al-Arafah Islami Bank, NCC Bank,
Social Islami Bank, Southeast Bank.
Jamuna Bank, Bangladesh Commerce Bank, Bank Asia, BRAC Bank, Mercantile Bank, Mutual
Trust Bank, First Security Islami Bank, One Bank, Premier Bank, Standard Bank, Trust Bank,
EXIM Bank, Shahjalal Bank.

4th Generation Banks: (2011 to Present)
Union Bank, Modhumoti Bank, Farmers Bank, NRB (Global) Bank, NRB Bank, Meghna Bank,
Midland Bank, NRB Commercial Bank, South Bangla Agriculture & Commerce Bank.
The main objective of this report is to evaluate Brac Bank LTD financial performance comparing with
other commercial banks of Bangladesh. The banks selected for comparing the financial performance
of Brac Bank LTD. with other commercial banks which are Bank Asia, Mutual Trust Bank Ltd (MTB),
Jamuna Bank LTD and Prime Bank. The selected banks were selected on the basis of their financial
performance and generation. All 5 banks are from 3rd generation which will be helpful to get an
overview about the 3rd generation banks of Bangladesh.
22 | P a g e
3.2.1 JUSTIFICATION FOR THE SELECTED COMPETITORS
After analyzing the annual reports of all the selected banks, it showed that all the banks had tremendous
growth in their balance sheets and profitability. Previous to additional analysis of the annual reports
of selected 5 banks I got a clear overview that the overall quality of assets and provision against those
assets had a significant growth. Banks mainly generates profit from four key sources like, net income,
investment income, exchange and brokerage, commission and other operating profits. As our main
objective is to evaluate the financial performance of Brac bank later I have chosen Bank Asia, Mutual
Trust Bank Ltd (MTB), Jamuna Bank LTD and Prime Bank comparison and the selected banks were
selected on the basis of their financial performance and generation.
Financial analysis involves a comparison of a firm’s performance with other firms in the same
business sector, which is mainly identified by the firm’s industry classification. This analysis is
used to identify the firm’s current financial position in the industry and also recommends the
changes needed for the improvement of the firm’s profitability and the future.
To make the analysis effective I have chosen 10 (Ten) ratios which are listed below:
1. Profit Margin
2. Return on Asset
3. Return on Equity
4. Cash Ratio
5. Debt to Equity Ratio
6. Leverage Ratio
7. Capital Adequacy Ratio
8. Tier 1 Capital Ratio
9. Tier 2 Capital Ratio
10. Net interest Margin
23 | P a g e
3.3.1 Return on Asset:
Return on assets (ROA) is an indicator of how profitable a company is relative to its total assets. ROA
gives a manager, investor, or analyst an idea as to how efficient a company's management is at using
its assets to generate earnings (Inc, n.d.). Return on assets is displayed as a percentage and it’s
calculated as:
ROA is expressed as a percentage and calculated as:
Return on Asset = Net income / Total asset

2014 2015 2016 2017 2018
BRAC BANK 1.05% 1.01% 1.52% 1.89% 1.58%
Bank Asia Limited 1.10% 1.10% 0.60% 0.70% 0.70%
JAMUNA BANK LIMITED 0.97% 1.18% 1.11% 1.10% 1.07%
PRIME BANK 0.89% 0.86% 0.80% 0.43% 1.04%
Mutual Trust Bank Ltd. 1.20% 0.90% 0.90% 1.00% 0.80%
Interpretation: The higher is ROA; the better is the bank's profitability. ROAs differ between banks
largely due to differences in net interest income, provisions for loan losses, and burden. Let's evaluate
the ROA for 5 banks in the banking industry of Bangladesh. From the above graph we can see how
each bank using its assets to generate earnings. In 2014 ROA of Brac Bank was 1.05% which means
that every taka that Brac bank invested in assets during 2014 gives a return of 1.05 Taka of net income,
But Jamuna and Prime bank (0.97% and .89%) also had a good rate of ROA in the following year. In
the banking industry a “ROA” above 1% is pretty good indicator for their investors. As we already see
the ROA of Brac Bank was low between other two banks it clearly states that these three banks have
used its assets efficiently. But in the last four years (2015-2018). Here the Return on Asset of Brac
Bank in 2015 was 1.01% in 2016 which increased to 1.52%, in 2017 also Return on Asset increased
to 1.89% but in 2018 Return on Asset decreased to 1.58%, It means in 2017 and 2018 they got higher
24 | P a g e
returns from their total asset than previous 5 years. Here in compare to Brac bank with peer groups
Bank Asia has lower Return on Asset.
It is the amount of net income returned as a percentage of shareholder’s equity (Accounting Verse,
2017). Return on equity measures a corporation's profitability by revealing how much profit a company
generates with the money shareholders have invested. (Ross, 2013)

2014 2015 2016 2017 2018
BRAC BANK 11.78% 12.95% 20.80% 20.20% 17.53%
Bank Asia Limited 1.20% 1.10% 0.60% 0.70% 0.70%
JAMUNA BANK LIMITED 8.59% 10.72% 11.91% 14.14% 13.35%
PRIME BANK 14.88% 12.22% 12.30% 6.71% 16.48%
Mutual Trust Bank Ltd. 20.00% 15.30% 14.90% 1.80% 13.10%
Interpretation: Return on equity told us how management was able to generate profits from the
shareholder’s equity. For every BDT, they created, how many assets were they able to create the
shareholders. The return on equity is similar to the “return on assets”. Assets come from two sources:
debt and equity. The ROE focuses on the latter. Return on equity measures profitability using resources
provided by investors and company earnings. A higher return on equity indicates that a company is
effectively using the contributions of equity investors to generate additional profits and return the
profits to investors at an attractive level. From the above graph we can see in 2016 Brac bank holds
the highest ROE than any other bank which indicates Brac bank has used its equity efficiently to
generate maximum net income. But after 2014 due to a huge fall in their net income Brac bank had to
suffer from proper utilization of shareholder’s equity therefore the ROE has also drastically decreased.
25 | P a g e
On the other hand, MTB (Mutual Trust Bank Limited, 2014) has the highest ROE than any other banks
till 2015. In compare to Brac bank with peer groups only Brac Bank (Brack Bank, 2014)has 11.78%
to 20.80% of their Return on Equity so Brac Bank used their investor money to generate profit than
other banks.
The net profit margin is equivalent to how much net income or profit is formed as a level of income
Net profit margin is the ratio of net benefits to incomes for an organization or business fragment. Net
profit margin is regularly transferred as a rate yet can similarly be spoken to in decimal structure. The
net profit margin delineates the amount of every dollar in income gathered by an organization converts
into benefit.

Mutual Trust Bank Ltd. 14.00% 20.80% 19.50% 23.30% 17.60%
26 | P a g e
Interpretation: The higher net profit margin percentage is always better for a Bank. Here the Net
Profit Margin of Brac Bank 2014 was 13.16% in 2015,2016 and 2017 which was increased to
13.18%,22.10% and 22.15% but in 2018 which was fall to 21.33%. So, in compare to Brac Bank and
its peer group, here in 2014 to 2013 Bank Asia ( Bank Asia Limited,, 2019) has higher net profit
margin.

Interpretation: If the company has enough cash & cash equivalents and marketable securities to
cover for current liabilities, the cash ratio will result in an amount greater than 1; otherwise, less than
1. From the graph we can see that Brac bank cash ratio is less than 1 which means Brac Bank have not
enough funds to cover for all current liabilities. Compare with the peer’s groups Jamuna bank (Jamuna
Bank, 2019) and (Prime Bank, 2019) has stable position and they have enough funds to cover all the
liability.
The debt-to-equity (D/E) ratio is determined by dividing an organization's total liabilities by its
investor value. These numbers are available on the monetary record of an organization's fiscal reports.
The proportion is utilized to assess an organization's money related influence. The D/E ratio is a
significant measurement utilized in corporate account. It is a ratio of how much an organization is
financing its activities through obligation against entirely possessed assets. All the more undoubtedly,
it mirrors the capacity of investor value to cover every single extraordinary obligation in case of a
business downturn.

Interpretation: A higher debt-equity ratio indicates a levered firm, which is quite preferable for a
company that is stable with significant cash flow generation, but not preferable when a company is in
decline. Conversely, a lower ratio indicates a firm less levered and closer to being fully equity financed.
The appropriate debt to equity ratio varies by industry. Compare with peers group Bank Asia position
is very good.
A leverage ratio is any one of several financial valuations that take a look at how much capital comes
as debt (Loan) or evaluates the capacity of an organization to meet its financial commitments. The
leverage ratio classification is significant in light of the fact that organizations depend on a blend of
value and obligation to fund their activities, and knowing the measure of obligation held by an
organization is helpful in assessing whether it can pay its obligations out of this world due. (General

Interpretation: A leverage ratio is any kind of financial ratio that indicates the level of debt incurred
by a business entity against several other accounts in its balance sheet, income statement, or cash flow

statement. These ratios provide an indication of how the company’s assets and business operations are
financed. From the above graph we can see Brac Bank and Jamuna bank have safe position in compares
with five banks. The MTB has risker position. (Investing Answers, 2018)
Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) is the ratio of a bank’s capital in relation to its risk weighted assets and
current liabilities. It is decided by central banks and bank regulators to prevent commercial banks from
taking excess leverage and becoming insolvent in the process. Two types of capital are measured: tier
one capital, which can absorb losses without a bank being required to cease trading, and tier two
capital, which can absorb losses in the event of a winding-up and so provides a lesser degree of
protection to depositors. (My Accounting Course, 2018)
Capital adequacy ratio: (Tier1 capital + Tier 2 capital)/ Risk weighted assets.

Interpretation: According to Bangladesh bank, all schedule banks should maintain a minimum capital
adequacy rate of 10%. The abnormal growth of either side of CAR is not a good sign for any bank.
From the graph we can see all of the banks are maintain the capital adequacy ratio above the minimum
requirement rate by Bangladesh bank. In the year 2014 Brac Bank CAR was 14.72% but It has
decreased in the following year in 2015 ,2016 and 2017 to 12.29% 12.26% and 11.97%. it has
increased to 13.67% in 2018. Though all the banks have fluctuated and witnessed ups and downs in
30 | P a g e
their CAR but as we have seen all of the banks still maintaining the minimum requirements given by
the Bangladesh bank, which indicates all 5 banks are maintaining acceptable capital to supports its
risks. (Bangladesh Bank cuts loan-deposit ratio 1.5%., 2018).
The tier 1 capital ratio is the proportion of a bank's center tier 1 capital—that is, its value capital and
uncovered stores— to its total risk-weighted assets. It is a key proportion of a bank's money related
quality that has been received as a feature of the Basel III Accord on bank guideline. (Journal of Social
Ecorronlics, 218)
Interpretation: The Tier 1 capital ratio compares the core equity capital of a banking entity to its risk-
weighted assets. The ratio is used by bank regulators to assign a capital adequacy ranking. A high ratio
indicates that a bank can absorb a reasonable amount of losses without risk of failure. Form the graph
we can see that all 5 banks have stable position. Compare with peers’ groups Brac Bank position is
very strong.

3.3.9 Tier 2 Capital Ratio
Tier 2 capital is the optional part of bank capital that makes up a bank's required stores. Tier 2 capital
is assigned as valuable capital and is made out of things, for example, revaluation holds, undisclosed
stores, crossover instruments, and subjected term debt.
Interpretation: Tier 2 capital is considered less reliable than Tier 1 capital because it is more difficult
to accurately calculate and is composed of assets that are more difficult to liquidate. Tier 2 capital
comprises unaudited retained earnings, unaudited reserves, and general loss reserves. This capital
absorbs losses in the event of a company winding up or liquidating. Compare with the five Banks City
Bank condition is so weak and other has stable poison.

3.3.10 Net interest Margin (NIM)
The NIM ratio measures the profit a company makes on its investing activities as a percentage of total
investing assets. Banks and other financial institutions typically use this ratio to analyze their
investment decisions and track the profitability of their lending operations. This way they can adjust
their lending practices to maximize profitability.
Net Interest Margin is expressed as a percentage and calculated as:
6.00%

Mutual Trust Bank Ltd. 0.20% 1.90% 2.30% 3.90% 2.40%
Interpretation: Net interest margin is typically used for a bank or an organization that invests
depositor’s money, allowing for an interest margin between what is paid to the bank’s client and what
is made from the borrower of the funds. A positive net interest margin indicates that an entity has
invested its funds efficiently while a negative return implies that the bank or investment firm has not
invested efficiently. From the above graph we can see all the banks have a positive net profit margin,
In the year 201 MTB Bank has witnessed the most prominent NIM by decreasing interest income and
interest expense.
