Bangladesh
Abstract
The research paper addresses the role of central bank of Bangladesh towards banking and
Economic development of Bangladesh. Banking and Economic development is a composite
phenomenon which cannot be measures directly. Role of central bank is very important for each
and every country because of central bank regulates specific function like monetary policy. Role
of Bangladesh bank on banking mainly depends on monetary policy and banking regulations. The
basic feature of CBB is to prepare the monetary policy of the government of Bangladesh,
Organization and Management of the entre economic and banking system. Further CBB also
control all financial matters of the government of Bangladesh such as control the foreign reserve
of the country, currency rate, currency supply in the open market etc. On the other hands we
structured that how people or stake-holders think about the role of Bangladesh bank on banking
and economic development that was our main intentions. We prepared my research paper by using
Qualitative research methodology. The methodology is a systematical, conceptual analysis of the
methods used to field study. Select of research methodology is very significant part of research
design which involve primary data variable, population, sample, and data analysis. This is a
procedure of collect information and data there is included present and past data or information.
For this objective, we are using a questionnaire as an instrument for data collection from several
segmentations of people and organization.
As per survey report, which is dependent on stock holder, the majority of stake-holder were
satisfied with the role of Bangladesh Bank in the economy of the country, particularly in the
reference of monetary policy organization & management and controlling. Based on the finding
the study also recommended that organization and management should improve their activities for
banking and economic development.
Central Bank of Bangladesh is very essential as the financial institutions of the country. It’s role
in the economy of the country is very important. Specially, in the industry sectors, agriculture
sectors, banking and finance sectors, social sectors, and the govt. sectors etc. We discussed the
role of Bangladesh Bank to control the inflation and growth of GDP of the country.
Bangladesh Bank was established as a body incorporate vides the Bangladesh Bank Order, 1972
with completion from 16th December 1971. All the members of the body must have experience
and proven ability in the field of banking, trade, commerce, industry or agriculture all assigned
by the government.
The head office of Bangladesh Bank is Motijheel. Moreover this Bangladesh Bank have 8 branch
office, one in Dhaka city, and one each in Chittagong city, Khulna, Rajshahi, Syhlet, Bogra,
Rangpur and Barisal. There are 31 department in the head office. The head office executes its
tasks with 31 departments. The Bangladesh Bank accomplish all the function that a central bank
in any country is expected to perform. Such function contain hold on price stability through
economic and monetary policy measures, governing the country's foreign exchange and gold
reserve, and controlling the banking sector of the country.
Bangladesh Bank is the first central bank in the world to disclose an applied hotline (16236) for
the general public to repine any banking related problems. Besides, the organization is the first
central bank in the world to manifestation a "Green Banking Policy". Not only it is an important
part in controlling the economy of our country, also it is a dream workplace for student who
select banking as their career. The role Bangladesh Bank performs as the central bank of
Bangladesh is enormously significant.
1.3 Limitations:
Every study may have some limitations. So this study is not free from limitations. Some
limitations are given below:
Lack of time: limitation of time was one of the important factors that shortened the study.
Lack of experience: As a newcomer I have little experience in this regard. There is a chance of
occurring error for lack of experience.
Lack of previous research: Literature review is an important part of any research, because it
helps to identify the scope of works that have been done so far in research area.
Although the long-term focus of monetary policy in Bangladesh is on growth with stability, the
short-term objectives are determined after a careful and realistic appraisal of the current
economic situation of the country.
Bangladesh Bank also has a number of department under it, namely Debt Management, Law, and
so on, each headed by one or more general managers. The Bank has 10 physical branches:
Mymensingh, Motijheel, Sadarghat, Barisal, Khulna, Sylhet, Bogra, Rajshahi, Rangpur and
Chittagong; each is headed by a general manager or executive director. Headquarter is located in
the Bangladesh Bank Building in Motijheel, which has two general managers.
Ttotal manpower stood at 6341 (officials 4879, subordinate staff 1462) as on April 22, 2021.
In short Central Bank is also responsible for directly contributing to the promotion of the planned
economic development of the economy, and banking systems, foreign exchange management,
currency management, and monetary policy etc.
1.4.4 Controlling:
The central bank of Bangladesh has a function to controlled currency circulation in the country,
manage credit money, and regulate the foreign exchange reserve in the country. The central bank
controls the credit money for keeping it at a certain level by using one or more of the following
methods-
A. Monetary Policy
Central banks have long valued their independence and, when not literally independent of
government, their operating autonomy. Immediately before and during the Second World War
most central banks became the agents of their governments, in particular of ministers of finance,
de facto if not literally nationalized until later. They regained their autonomy of action only
gradually (the Federal Reserve in the celebrated “accord” of 1951, when the Fed ceased to support
the government bond market), with many central banks achieving statutory independence only in
the 1990s. Richard N Cooper (2006)
Blinder, Ehrmann, Fratzscher, De Haan and Jansen (2008) divide the goals of communication
policy studies into two separate issues: How communication can be used to manage expectations
by creating news or by reducing noise in markets. Creating news relates to the effectiveness of
communication, i.e. how central bank announcements affect expectations and financial markets by
revealing new information about monetary policy developments or the economic outlook.
(Palmu, 2018)
McKinnon (1973) believes that an increases in banking services and financial activities are
accelerating economy toward growth.
Existing literature has supported the linkage between banking sector and economic growth. The
relation between the banking sector and the economic growth is an argued topic, according to
Goldsmith (1969) that the size of banking sector is linked with the supply and quality of financial
intermediation and his analysis on 35 sample countries proved a positive correlation between the
banking sector and economic growth. Also McKinnon (1973) and Shaw (1973) seek for that
relation, and they found that the banking sector affect the economic growth clearly.
Miwa et al (2000) explored the role of central banks on developing Japanese economy. They found
Japanese firms did not grow through banking funds. They argued that the manufacturing firms in
Japan raise of their funds through decentralized and competitive capital markets rather than
banking credits supply.
Finally, we didn’t find any previous study about role of central bank towards banking and
economic development in the context of Bangladesh bank. We prepared my research paper by
using Qualitative research methodology in which we prepared a questionnaire about role of
central bank towards banking and economic development. For getting the feedback from we
have formed the structured questionnaire. Three are 20 questions in four segmentations named
monetary policy, Organizations, controlling and role of CBB in economy. It was a magnificent
experience for me doing this research and collecting information from a different segment of
people and organizations.
Chapter Three: Research Design & Methodology
In this chapter, I discuss and explained the procedure & methods which I applied in that research.
What methodology I applied, how to collected the data for this research, how to choice of
population, how to create google survey and finally how to data analysis.
As we know my research title is “Role of Central Bank towards Banking and Economic
development”. This research relies on some interview observation, statement and descriptions.
This types of research design ambitions to conduct who, what, where, and how as per conditions.
