VERSES FROM
THE HOLY QURAN
IN THE NAME OF ALLAH
MOST GRACIOUS, MOST MERCIFUL!

“..... And it is He who subjected the sea for you to eat from it tender meat
and to extract from it ornaments which you wear. And you see the ships
plowing through it, and [He subjected it] that you may seek of His bounty;
and perhaps you will be grateful. .....”
(Surah An-Nahl, verse : 14)

“He is the One who has made the earth subjugated for you, so walk on its
shoulders, and eat out of His provision, and to Him is the Resurrection.”
(Surah Al-Mulk, verse : 15)

“..... That is because they say Trade is just like usury whereas,
Allah permitted trading and forbidden usury .....”
(Surah Al-Baquarah, verse : 275)

Allah likes not the disbelievers, sinners …..”
(Surah Al-Baquarah, verse : 276)

“..... O you who believe! Be afraid of Allah and give up what remains from
Riba, if you are really believers …..”
(Surah Al-Baquarah, verse : 278)

“..... If you do not do it, then take a notice of war from Allah and his
messenger; but if repent, you shall have your capital sums. Deal not unjustly
(by asking more than your capital sums), and you shall not be dealt with
unjustly (by receiving less than your capital sums) .....”
(Surah Al-Baquarah, verse : 279)

GUIDANCE FROM
THE HADITH

Narrated Ma’mar bin ‘Abdullah (RA): Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said:


“None withholds goods till the price rises but a sinner.”
(Sahih Muslim)

“A man’s work ends upon his death except for three things
(a) on-going charity (b) contribution to knowledge and (c) faithful child”
(Sahih Muslim)

Narrated Abu Huraira (RA) the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said,
“Whoever takes the money of the people with the intention of repaying it,
Allah will repay it on his behalf, and whoever takes it in order to spoil it, then
Allah will spoil him.”
(Sahih Al- Bukhari)

Narrated ‘Amr bin Shu’aib on his father’s authority from his grandfather (RA):
“Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said: “The condition of a loan combined with a
sale is not lawful, now two conditions relating to one transaction, nor the
profit arising from something which is not in one’s charge, nor selling what is
not in your possession.”
(Sunan An Nasai)

Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA) that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam) passed by a pile of food. He put his fingers in it and felt wetness.
He said: ‘O owner of the food, What is this?’
He replied: ‘It was rained upon O Messenger of Allah.’
He said: ‘Why not put it on top of the food so the people can see it?’
Then he said: ‘Whoever cheats, he is not one of us.’
(Jami` at-Tirmidhi)

It was narrated from Abu Hurairah (RA) that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi
Wasallam) said: “Taking oaths may help you to make a sale but it takes
(blessing) away from the Earnings “

ANNUAL
REPORT 2022
FORWARD LOOKING
METHODOLOGY

A forward looking statement is a statement that contains predictions, projections and possibilities. It relates to
future events. Forward looking statements involve numerous assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties,
predicts expected future business and financial performance, both general and specific, and the risk that
predictions and other forward looking statements may not prove to be accurate. Statements of this type are
based on hypothesis/ballpark figures. Forward looking statements may also include comments with respect
to the bank’s objectives, strategies to achieve those objectives, expected financial results (including those in
the area of risk management), and the business outlook for the bank. It contains words or phrases such as
‘will’, ‘may’, ‘would’, ‘should’, ‘could’, ‘expect’, ‘anticipate’, ‘believe’, ‘seek’, ‘presume’, ‘assure’, ‘hope’,
‘intend’, ‘estimate’, ‘plan’, ‘may increase’, ‘may fluctuate’ and similar such expressions of future, or
conditional verbs, so on and so forth.

A forward looking statement naturally addresses matters that are, to certain degrees, uncertain and may not
happen. In most cases, a forward looking statement is made in respect of company’s expected income,
earning, business growth, horizontal expansion, cost structure, capital structure, dividends etc. Such a
statement is made based on some assumptions about future events which may happen or may not happen.

Since there are uncertainties about the occurrence of the future events, those should be treated from that
viewpoint in decision making by the users of the “GIB Annual Report 2022”. Therefore, the bank will not stand
accountable to update the amended information in the “GIB Annual Report 2022” which may be effected
in the future.

ABOUT
GLOBAL ISLAMI BANK
In the era of Globalization, no one can survive alone. Modern Technology and foreign policies have brought
the people of the world very close to each other. At present, this world is a global village. Now, the
communication among people is very faster than any previous time. Connectivity is very crucial in this
village. So, Bangladesh cannot live alone in this fastest growing village.

Keeping all these in mind, Bangladesh Bank approved nine banks as fourth generation banks in which, three
banks have the funding of Non-Resident Bangladeshi (NRB) people. This bank is one of those three banks to
materialize the dream of people having the goal to keep Bangladesh well connected with other advanced
nations. It is the brainchild of 25 (twenty-five) well reputed visionary Non-Resident Bangladeshi (NRB) people
residing in different countries of the world.

After hard labor of almost three years complying with all regulatory rules and regulations, it has got the final
approval on July 25, 2013 from the regulatory body to run the banking business in Bangladesh. Gradually, the
mentioned brainchild of those NRBs has become the reality. At present, its Corporate Head Office and
Gulshan Corporate Branch situated at Saiham Tower, 34 Gulshan Avenue, Gulshan-1, Dhaka 1212,
Bangladesh, which is a great example of postmodern structure and one of the finest building of the country.

Mr. Nizam Chowdhury is the founder Chairman of this bank having a long professional experience for about
03 (three) decades in the U.S.A and other Directors are also well reputed in their own sectors of profession.
These nice personalities have well defined mission and vision. Their mission is not to restrict the Bank to a
particular group of people but to bring the huge unbanked people under banking. Their vision is to make the
Bank truly global providing world class services throughout the world.

There is a milestone in the Bank operation that the Bank got the license as first bank amongst all fourth
generation banks to operate Islami Banking side by side of existing Conventional Banking and subsequently
got approval from the Bangladesh Bank to convert the Bank from conventional to full-fledged Islami Bank to
start full-fledged Islami Banking Operations under Islami Shari’ah Principles as “Global Islami Bank Limited”
changing the name from “NRB Global Bank Limited”.

GiB offers a wide range of banking products and services based on islami Shari’ah principles to corporate,

network along with agent banking, remittance services, internet banking, card business and with dedicated

through boutique service, innovative practices, dynamic problem solving approach and efficient
management. Moving forward, the Bank has clear strategy to rationalize the portfolio, managing risks while
accelerating the delivery of consistently strong results with special focus on people, planet, islami Shari’ah
and profit to embrace sustainability.

transactions, ensuring welfare and justice to all the stakeholders, righteousness in dealing with the day to day
operations and ensuring transparency & avoidance of obscurity (Gharar) are the principal business ethics of
GIB.

HONESTY & INTEGRITY: Honesty is the best policy. Honesty is the key component for success in business. GIB
will stick to the honesty and integrity principles in relation to customers, employees, shareholders, other Banks,
regulators and stakeholders. Honesty and integrity in business is at the top when customers are deciding
which company to do business with. The integrity of the banking and financial services market depends
comprehensively on the perception that it functions within a framework of legal, professional and ethical
standards. A reputation for integrity is the one of the most valuable assets of a financial institution.

GIB DuPONT
ANALYSIS
DuPont analysis is an approach that consists of a detailed examination of Return on Equity (ROE) of a
company which analyses Return on Assets and Financial Leverage to avoid misleading conclusions
regarding a company’s profitability. DuPont Analysis gives a broader view of the Return the company in
earnings on its Equity. This analysis, in turn, helps management to take various strategic and operational
decisions.

PARTICULARS 2022 2021


Net Profit Margin (PAT/Total Income) 6.57% 9.78%
Total Asset Turnover (Total Income/Average Assets) 9.53% 10.63%
Return on Asset (PAT/Average Assets) 0.67% 1.04%
Financial Leverage (Average Assets/Average Equity)(Times) 11.86 17.56%
Return on Equity (PAT/Average Equity) 9.29% 18.25%

The Net Profit Margin is equal to how much net income or profit is generated as a percentage of revenue. It
is an indicator of a GIB’s pricing strategies and how well GIB controls costs. However, the higher the value of
all components of DuPont analysis indicates the higher positive impact on Return on Equity. Main Highlights
of DuPont analysis:

1. Net Profit Margin has been decreased due to decrease in net profit after taxation and increase in total
general and specific provisions.

2. Asset Turnover in terms of total income has been deteriorating due to re-pricing of Investments as high as
9% to comply the central bank caps. Moreover, total asset grew at 15.81% which was more than total
income growth at 9.09% over the last year.

3. Financial Leverage reached to 11.86% as on 2022 from last year 17.56% which indicates increasing trends
of paid up captal in proportion to the average assets.

4. Return on Equity has been decreased due to significant increase in paid up capital through IPO and
decrease in net profit after taxation resulting from maintaining total general and specific provisions.

FROM THE DESK OF
THE CHAIRMAN

ANNUAL
REPORT 2022
“Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim”

Dear Honorable Shareholders and other Stakeholders,

Assalamu Alaikum WRWB,

Extending a very warm welcome, at the very outset I greet to every


single one of you to the 10th Annual General Meeting of Global
Islami Bank. I am majestically delighted in placing before you the
GIB Annual Report of your bank for the fiscal year ended Decem-
ber 31, 2022 and it makes me feel amused to put my thoughts
before you. In sharp contrast to an upbeat global uncertain
environment full of delayed economic recovery deficiencies, the
year 2022 had been a fantastically one of challenging obstacles to
go through which GIB faced tremendously with all profound
succeeding factors to achieve significant progress and advance-
ment while demonstrating resilience and strength. Since the last 9
years of operation from the very starting of its business, GIB has
been the ground breaker among the 4th generation’s banking
companies proving prosperous legacy of providing top-notch
services to the society all over the Country being highly committed
to its mission, vision and goals.

As a just nine (9) years old 4th generation based private bank, we
are thrilled to enter the capital market of Bangladesh in 2022. I
proudly consider it as our great achievement as GIB’s IPO which is
Tk. 425 Crore, is the second largest IPO in the Banking sector. Thanks
to BSEC for allowing so and having confidence on us. GIB promises
dignifiedly to maintain a healthy balance between risk and returns.

I highly acknowledge the commendable efforts of our diligent


workforce which enabled our consistent progressive performance
excellence even on the verge of a future full of uncertainties.
Regardless of the uncertainties, the Bank has remained committed
to strengthening business resilience across all performing spheres.
On behalf of the Board, I express my sincere appreciation and
gratefulness to all the members of the Board, the Management
team, our amazing staff community and all of our well-wishers as
each of your noteworthy contribution is everything that are making
GIB more and more prosperous day by day.

ANNUAL
REPORT 2022 75
OUR MONETARY GROWTH AMID EVOLVING ECONOMIC SURROUNDINGS

It is heartening to note that in today’s world inflation is peaking in high rate. Inflation, which was already on
a sharp climb towards the end of 2022, seems expected to grow further as the fallout from the invasion of
Ukraine, has a direct influence on pricing, particularly for oil and commodities. Over the past year, the ongo-
ing pandemic has continued to exact an enormous health and socioeconomic toll, affecting lives and
livelihoods everywhere. In the midst of the just beginning recovery, the world is facing a second, unprece-
dented shock: Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. According to IMF estimates, the world GDP in 2022 stands to be
101.56 trillion dollars. IMF also states, global growth in 2022 was 3.4%, which is expected to fall to 2.9% in 2023
and then increase to 3.1% in 2024. Bangladesh's economic prognosis for the year 2023 is indicated by the
World Bank in its most recent Global Economic Prospects report, where the findings suggest that the country's
GDP growth rate would decrease to 5.2% in FY23.

In the middle of this situation GIB continues to explore diversified signifying strategies and policy interventions
needed to accelerate the financial development phase of the Bank. Our financial results for the year speak
for their own. During 2022 GIB grew at 27% as compared to the last year in terms of its operating profit. We
have achieved record profits, increased our assets, and expanded our customer ground. Our investment
portfolio has grown significantly. In addition to our financial performance, we have also made significant
progress in the areas of corporate social responsibility and sustainability. We have implemented policies and
practices to reduce our environmental footprint, support local communities, and promote diversity and
inclusion.

For the year 2022, we outlined our strategy which called for using all of the resources at our disposal to investi-
gate undiscovered market potential strength and resources. The bank focused on strengthening client
connections by providing exceptional services during challenging times, making banking more available
and inclusive to those in the community. Furthermore, we improved our staff's knowledge and competence
in basic banking procedures in order to better prepare them. Training sessions for all staff levels were held on
a variety of subjects, with a focus on compliance, anti-money laundering, and ethical standards.

OUR FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE

In 2022 GIB implemented strict policies regarding non-performing assets in order to maintain asset quality and
shareholder value. Our financial performance excelled over the previous year. The Bank's deposits totaled
BDT 118,809.22 Million at the end of the year. With all of the inherent challenges, the Bank could create invest-
ment plans totaling BDT 118,680.54 MIllion. Notably, our bank has established a large number of branches,
sub-branches, and ATMs. GIB earned BDT 2,904.77 Million in operating profit during the reviewed year (2022)
while conducting banking operations through 99 branches and 116 sub-branches in various places around
the Country, demonstrating remarkable operational performance. Following are the assets of GIB as of
December 31, 2022:
Particulars Amount in BDT (Million) Percentage
Investment 118680.54 77.16%
Investment in Shares & Securities 7202.43 4.68%

ANNUAL
REPORT 2022
CAPITALIZATION

GIB has maintained excellent capital levels throughout 2022 in order to satisfy regulatory requirements. At
the year ending moment, the Bank’s required capital stood at BDT 10,580.82 Million having CAR of 16.49%. In
2022, the Bank's plan was backed by a variety of funding alternatives, including deposits, investments, and
shares. Low-cost deposits increased by 20.77%, lowering the cost of money and allowing us to provide the
finest alternatives for our customers. We are constantly analyzing our capital requirements with the goal of
decreasing funding costs while increasing shareholder value.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMPLIANCE

Our robust governance frameworks and risk management concepts support our company operations. As in
the old days, we seek to keep our governance structures adaptable to changes in the operational environ-
ment. As a result, we continue to examine and update our policies and processes on a regular basis. As a
result, during the fiscal year, the Board considered and updated policies and frameworks related to business
continuity, company risk management, operational risk management, strategic planning, and investment
growth.

RISK CONTROL

At GIB, risk management is conducted in a thorough and proactive manner from a strategic approach. We
aimed to build a predictive capabilities system that will analyze portfolio performance and market trends to
detect risky assets. Furthermore, the Board rendered guidance and recommendations on prudent capital
management and planning, since capital acts as an important buffer during times of higher investment risk.
Given this pressing condition, our comprehensive planning to manage risk efficiently made our governance
structure more effective and proactive in moving forward.

Additionally, as we navigate a highly competitive and overcrowded industrial context, the Board must prac-
tice greater corporate stewardship with greater care. All of our stakeholders, to whom we owe a duty of fair
returns and who we are accountable, have high expectations for openness, accountability and effective
leadership that go beyond the bare minimum of compliance. The Bank must demonstrate its corporate
integrity and responsibility via its actions and performance, and we value this command of the challenging
moment as a prerequisite for our capacity to continue operating as a successful business in society.

ADOPTING TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS

In the modern world, adopting new technology is essential. In Bangladesh, the rate of digitalization is accel-
erating across all industries, and banks are not an exception. GIB is committed to making investments in tech-
nological advancement and venturing into unexplored waters in the digital sphere. Since 2022, we have
made more concerning focus on moving towards obtaining technological facilities through the medium of
online banking development, various software, mobile app and needed training mechanisms adoption to
ensure better future ahead of time.

Our commitment to our shareholders is our top concern, and even in challenging circumstances, knowing
that we have kept our word gives us confidence and a sense of pride. Going forward, we intend to maintain
growing and significantly increasing the value we provide to both our shareholders and our cherished clients,
who are the Bank's lifeblood.

CONTINUING TRANSFORMATION
The Bank has embarked on a thorough transformation journey focused on procedures, products, platforms,
developing people skills, and increasing compliance. Since that technological innovation is a continuous
process, transformation requires an ongoing journey to guarantee that the Bank stays competitive in the
market. As a result, the Bank continues to make major investments in strengthening its IT infrastructure and
developing cutting-edge digital platforms. Currently we are focusing on to develop GIB mobile app for
online banking’s better formulation and excellent continuation. The future of banking lies in using the power
of analytics, digitalization, and technology to provide clients with world-class banking services. While we
construct a Bank of first choice for our clients, we are also building a learning organization, and our commit-
ment in improving our workforce's abilities endures. As the Chairman of the Bank, I am happy to be a partner
in driving these efforts.
SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES
GIB well appreciates the linkage between business and society and recognizes its responsibility to support the
communities within the region with the hope of creating shared value and a positive impact. Our Communi-

ANNUAL
REPORT 2022 77
cation and Branding team facilitates its participation in more impactful CSR initiatives. As a result, in 2022, BDT
49,291,445 approximately was allocated for charitable, donations and sponsorship activities to drive the
Bank's environmental & social sustainability initiatives. We continue to refine our sustainability agenda reflect-
ing the Bank’s vision. At GIB we remain engaged to mitigating direct social and environmental impacts and
managing indirect impacts.
CONTRIBUTING TOWARDS THE SOCIETY
Every year GIB holds various charitable, sponsorship or welfare programs to perform its responsibilities towards
the society. The advantages of CSR go far further than just enhancing trust and image; rather, it actively
supports community initiatives and enhances the ability of the public and consumers to interact meaningfully
with a company. GIB has consistently supported these causes and aided those in need. During situation of
flood, education betterment purpose and others, GIB has given donations to the Prime Minister's relief fund
and other emergency relief funds on a number of occasions. GIB provides winter support to the needy each
year to help them get through the season. A large number of people have benefited from our assistance
throughout their medical treatment and emergencies. We are dedicated to carrying out our CSR initiatives
for society's benefit and we promise to be more and more better in coming days for this purpose.
TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
GIB prioritizes to be transparent for being fair and nonjudgmental in the eyes of its Stakeholders. The manage-
ment team and board members share duties and obligations to guarantee effective oversight and efficient
management. The Board oversees the management to achieve company objectives, authorizes key and
strategic policy decisions, and gives policy guidance and directions to the management. While the risk man-
agement committee examines the bank's overall risk management process and systems, the audit commit-
tee looks at Bangladesh Bank's internal controls and compliance procedures, internal audit reports, and
associated compliance. The statutory auditors were given complete freedom in auditing and certifying
compliance, risk management, and financial statements prepared in accordance with International Finan-
cial Reporting Standards (IFRS). By following the finest standards of corporate governance in our Bank, we
are dedicated to setting an example for the corporate sector.
FINANCIAL INCLUSION
SDGS and full financial inclusion can be accomplished only when everyone from every part of the country,
regardless of background or circumstances, is brought into a formal banking channel. More than half of the
population lacks bank accounts and does not have access to a financial network. Our agent-centric asset
business model has been expanded to operate across the country, allowing disadvantaged individuals to
undertake banking transactions with confidence.
More importantly, more than ever before, GIB prioritizes in ensuring that all individuals and business organiza-
tions, particularly including also those of earning low-income and undeserved communities have access to
affordable and appropriate banking products and services. This is our inherent goal as well as promise to the
society and hence the country to promote economic growth, poverty reduction and financial stability and
resilience enhancement and affirmation.
DIVIDEND DECLARATION
For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, the Bank's Board of Directors has recommended a 5% cash
dividend and 5% stock dividend for Shareholders. We always transmit exciting implications to ensure consis-
tent dividend payment and the company's capital foundation. For the upcoming days, we want to perse-
vere in distributing a benefiting quantity of dividend settled for a strong evaluation and compliance of
numerous regulatory conditions while accomplishing the Bank's improved performance excellence and
expansion prospects.
OUTLOOK
Bangladesh's banking industry has been skillfully navigating the extraordinary COVID-19 outbreak from the
start. The sector now has the primary duty of putting most of the stimulus plans announced by the govern-
ment into action. The GIB's brand promise, 'Banking with Faith,' says eloquently as we continue to prioritize our
customers first and foremost. With the Bank's progress over the years toward being a future-ready bank, the
merger ensures that the benefits of scale and size are available to a larger set of clients and stakeholders. The
integration process is well underway now that merger is in force, with a clear plan in place for customer,
employee, and process integration. There is an opportunity for us to build a world-class company for our
customers, employees, and other stakeholders.

78
ANNUAL
REPORT 2022
We aspire to provide outstanding value to our clients by putting our digitization and product innovation
projects at the forefront of enabling exceptional service delivery across the country. We anticipate
increased growth and new prospects in 2023 as a result of this, as well as improved investor confidence and
a resurgence in the economies. 2023 will undoubtedly be another year filled with challenges and unpredict-
ability. Only by working together can we properly confront the difficulties we face.
AWARDS & ACHIEVEMENTS
Global Islami Bank has received the "Best Corporate Award 2021" from the Institute of Cost and Management
Accountants of Bangladesh (ICMAB) for its efforts in improving corporate governance. Also, the Bank has
obtained the ISO/IEC 27001:2013 Information Security Management System (ISMS) Certificate for Software
Applications and ICT System Integration Services. With this accreditation, GIB has been evaluated and
certified in accordance with the most recent edition of the SOA (Statement of Applicability), and has met
the international standards of Banking IT Security.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT & APPRECIATION
I want to acknowledge that 2022 is a remarkable year for GIB. On behalf of the Board, we appreciate the
invaluable efforts of all the teams within GIB to ensure the Company's sustained growth.
I want to thank my fellow Board members for providing strategic guidance to the business along with whole
management staff, and each and every employee for their ongoing efforts and dedication to obtaining the
targeted results. In addition, all our customers and service providers continue to extend invaluable support
and patronage and for which we are grateful. Besides, I am appreciative to Bangladesh Bank, Bangladesh
Securities and Exchange Commission, DSE, CSE, and other regulatory bodies for their wise advice and
support. We shall be looking forward to the regulation policies’ intervention around digitalization banking
services as we focus on facilitating financial inclusion. Again, I would want to express my sincere gratitude to
all the participants who have provided constant and steadfast support over the years. Lastly, I want to
congratulate Mr. Syed Habib Hasnat and his talented leadership team for everything they have accom-
plished in 2022. It was not simple to keep the bank running smoothly throughout the severe inflation and
epidemic conditions.
Wishing the best for you in every spheres of your life.

Sincerely,

Nizam Chowdhury

FROM THE DESK OF
THE MANAGING DIRECTOR

ANNUAL
REPORT 2022
“Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim”

Dear Dignified Board of Directors, Shareholders, Valued Customers


and other Stakeholders,

Assalamu Alaikum WRWB,

Warmly welcoming you all to GIB Annual Report 2022 hoping best for
your wellness. It gives us great gladness as by the grace of Almighty
Allah GIB has completed another booming year in the Banking
Industry and has entered the Bank's tenth year. Devotedly I praise
Allah Subhanahu Wa-Ta’ala for His mercy and greatness to bestow us
with strength for which we could make 2022 a marvelously
momentous span full of succeeding stories of the Bank.

Bounded by global pandemic surroundings, 2022 was not an easy to


go year for GIB. Like others we faced turbulences and our business
operations got disrupted because of the struggling economic state of
affairs. Amidst these situation, our Bank achieved resilient growth
framework in place owing to the superb guidance of the Board of
Directors, competent conventionalism of our banking exertion and
superlative dedication of the diligent workforce. It gives me great
pleasure to convey that in 2022, GIB entered Bangladesh's capital
market and raised Tk. 425 Crore as planned for owing to BSEC’s
approval. Throughout the year, the consummate confidence of our
Customers, Shareholders and other Stakeholders motivated us to work
hard to retain their trust level. Taking this opportunity, I would like to
express my heartfelt gratefulness as all of your enthusiastic support has
been a constant source of inspiration for us over the last ten years of
our banking endeavor.

It brings on immense amusement to manifest my thoughts on GIB’s


crowning accomplishments for the fiscal year 2022. While feeling
fortuitous to formulate forth, at the first outset I would like to touch
upon the economic environment on both global as well as local
ground, in which GIB performed during the year under review.

PERSPECTIVE PANORAMA of GLOBAL ECONOMIC SCENERIO

While the world economy was recovering rapidly from the COVID-19
epidemic, the conflict in Ukraine hampered the ongoing recovery.
War-induced supply chain disruption has caused a spike in global
commodities prices and sluggish economic activity. During 2022
world’s economic growth is estimated to

ANNUAL
REPORT 2022 81
be around 3.4%. In 2023 the said growth is projected to be 2.9% and for the next year, that is, for 2024 the
growth is expected to stand at 3.1%. The dampened growth in 2022 is all owing to the political tension of
Russia’s war in Ukraine, high inflation rate, continuous spread of Corona virus, central bank’s taken mecha-
nism of increasing interest rate to fight with inflation obstacles, and others. Fortunately, the recent reopening
of businesses across the whole world has cleared the stage for a more rapid recovery than planned. Global
inflation rate, which is 8.8% in 2022 is projected to be lower in 2023 standing at 6.6%. in 2024 it is expected to
be reduced more and fall to 4.3%.

Source: World Economic Outlook Update, IMF, January 2023

Opportunities are always present. It is our responsibility to keep advantage of it and locate it in a business-like
manner. Always in every situation there are associated challenges regarding all kinds of possibilities and
estimations. For global economic outlook, anything adverse can happen regardless of risk balances being
remained skewed to the downside. Downside hazards have eased following the October 2022 WEO. A larger
boost from stagnant demand or a faster decline in inflation are both possible. On the other side, poor health
outcomes in China might stall the recovery, Russia's war in Ukraine could deteriorate, and tighter global
financial conditions could exacerbate debt distress. Financial markets may also react abruptly to negative
inflation facts, while increased geopolitical disintegration may impede economic development.
Prioritizing succeeding effectual policy making can ensure effective recovery phase. In most economies,
establishing sustainable disinflation remains a top objective in the midst of the cost-of-living crisis. With tighter
monetary conditions and weaker growth possibly harming financial and debt stability, macro prudential
measures must be used and debt restructuring mechanisms strengthened. Accelerating COVID-19
immunizations in China would protect the recovery and have a favorable cross-border impact. Fiscal
assistance should be better targeted at those who are most affected by rising food and energy prices, and
broad-based fiscal relief initiatives should be phased down. Stronger international cooperation is required to
maintain the benefits of the rules-based multilateral system and to prevent climate change by reducing
emissions and increasing green investment.

VERSATILE BRAVENESS of BANGLADESH ECONOMY

For more than a decade, Bangladesh has been considered as one of the world's fastest-growing economies.
According to World Bank data, Bangladesh's GDP has grown at an annual pace of 6.5% on average during
the last decade. The country is on track to become an economic powerhouse over the next decade. At this
point, the London-based think tank Centre for Economics and Business Research (CEBR) expects that
Bangladesh would be the world's 20th largest economy by 2037, out of 191 countries. According to CEBR,
Bangladesh is now the region's second largest economy and will remain so until 2037, with a GDP of $1,628
Billion at current prices. In FY 2021-22, Bangladesh’s GDP growth was 7.25% which is 0.05% higher than the
targeted rate and 0.31% higher than the actual rate of the previous fiscal year. For FY 2021-22, Bangladesh’s
per capita GDP stood at Tk. 2,32,828 which was Tk. 2,08,751 in the previous fiscal year.

Bangladesh's GDP is expected to reach 465 Billion international dollars in 2022, up from 416 Billion in the
previous year, according as per the preliminary figures. In the same fiscal year 2021-22, total investment
climbed to 31.68% of GDP. According to the Export Promotion Bureau, the country's export earnings in
December of the fiscal year that just ended, 2022-23 climbed 9.33% year on year to $5.36 billion, up from
$4.90 billion in the same month of the previous fiscal year 2021-22. Import payments in December'22 reached
US$ 5269.4 million, a reduction of US$ 2374.0 million (31.06%) from December'21. At the end of December 22,
the Bangladesh Bank's foreign exchange reserves were at US$ 33747.7 million. Accordingly, remittance
inflows increased by 6.55% in December compared to the previous month.

Bangladesh has achieved great success in recent years in terms of economic growth, poverty reduction,
and human development, thanks to a mix of factors like as a booming manufacturing sector, a
strengthening Economy, and inexpensive labor costs. The challenges that Bangladesh is likely to face in 2023,

REPORT 2022
especially in the midst of a global economic crisis comprise, the Russia-Ukraine war, the national
election-2023, the forex reserve, the internal capacity of the banking systems to facilitate import and export
through the opening of LCs, timely payment and collection of foreign currencies, remittance, and so on.

BANKING MILIEU 2022

During 2022 the Banking industry has undergone significant digital revolution as a result of FinTech products
and the virtual banking network. The Country's banking sector had to deal with the fluctuation of the
macroeconomic situation for which Bangladesh Bank has prepped various regulatory guidelines to follow as
needed and required. For example, banks have been given steadfast directions to boost agricultural credit
disbursement, which is being closely tracked. According to a newly released Bangladesh Bank report, banks
and NBFIs disbursed Tk. 2,20,489 crore in loans (investments) to the SME sector in 2022, compared to Tk.
1,85,428 crore in the same time in 2021. The central bank has adopted many strategic efforts to keep inflation
under control, which has remained inflated due to increasing global commodity prices.

Bangladesh's foreign exchange market has been beneath struggle for more than a year due to rapidly
decreasing foreign currency reserves in the face of rising import expenses. In order to safeguard the foreign
reserve of the Country, Bangladesh Bank restricts the sale of foreign currencies to listed banking companies
along with implementing strategic policies in this respect. According to official records, the BB sold $1,410.70
million to banks in October 2022, followed by $1,395 million in November and $1,442.86 million in December.
Reserves, on the contrary together, were $46.39 billion in FY21 and fell to $41.83 billion in FY22.

Moreover, NPLs (investment) have been a source of worry across all year of 2022. Default loans at banks
jumped 17% year on year to Tk120,656 Crore in 2022, as per central bank data, because of the absence of
effectual corporate governance and the protracted business slowdown. Lenders waived Tk5,064 Crore in
loan rescheduling throughout 2022, which is Tk3,209 Crore in excess of the previous year. High non-performing
loans or investments have always been a challenging issue for the Banking sector. As the spread shrinks,
Banks will need to find new ways to generate supplementary income. Provisioning requirements may impose
a strain on capital adequacy, forcing banks to issue subordinated and quasi-equity instruments. The central
bank might take a more active role in preventing irregularities in the banking industry. Investment (loan)
recovery and treasury management might receive special consideration and capital base should be
strengthened.

WAY FORWARD: PLAN FOR 2023 & BEYOND

In 2023 the inflationary situation that is currently evolving around the whole world will definitely incite compet-
itive challenges. Holding of foreign exchange reserves will remain precarious in the face of questions. The
global political violence and war tension effects of Countries like Russia-Ukraine, China-Taiwan, etc. will
impose negative consequences for smooth functioning of international trading businesses. Even amongst
these we are enthusiastically hopeful for more economic progression of the Country. With proper strategic
formulation and implementation of effective plans we can still win over the hardships and struggles.

ing our business within broader regions. By the end of the year the Branch and Sub-branch territories of the

efficient to tackle up recovering non-performing investments (NPI). Moreover, for remittance increasing,
digitalization and lowering cost purpose, our higher authorities are going to engage themselves for strategic
decision making intention. They will also be engaged in supervision and monitoring of exact completion of
those tasks. We will sustain to keep our valued clients along with attracting new ones in the coming days. For

GLOBAL ECONOMIC SCENERIO: ABRIDGED ASSERTION

The global economy has experienced significant growth and transformation over the past few decades. The
increasing globalization of markets, advances in technology, and the liberalization of trade and investment
have led to a more interconnected and interdependent global economy. The year 2022, entirely faced
continuous comeback of COVID-19 which put the whole world in ceaseless endangerment. Inflation got
higher, and war effect of Russia and Ukraine gave rise to instability on global economic activity which will go
on like this in 2023 as per experts’ opinion and observation.

The year 2022, depicts US growth stood at stronger rate beyond the expectation level. China slowed down
in the economy developing race because of sudden breakouts of COVID in cities with high populations
which has negatively affected international price schedules and trade growth of the globe. The European
economy grew more steadily than anticipated despite a significant negative terms-of-trade shock brought
on by the conflict in Ukraine. Due to increasing non-Russian pipeline and liquefied natural gas flows, a
reduction in gas consumption, and a warmer-than-normal winter, gas prices have fallen more than
anticipated.

Predictions made by several forecasting firms imply, the economic picture for 2023 generally appears good
given the many factors influencing it during the next year. In the long run, it is anticipated that the
post-pandemic recovery will continue in 2023, thanks to the economic trends in the US, the Eurozone, and
China. Tighter global financial conditions for EMDEs could put a lot of strain on some of them. A catch-up
recovery from the pandemic and strong foreign demand from industrialized nations will likely to reduce the
burden of such financial situations.

Growth of the Globe


GDP is an estimate of the total worth of goods and services generated in a country during a set of period that
is computed annually to understand the growth matrices of countries and the world as a whole. Reaching
the top spot on the GDP ranking list is extremely difficult due to the inevitability of confronting difficulties such
as environmental deterioration, aging populations, and so on. According to IMF data, the global GDP of
2022 is 101.56 Trillion. The United States has the world's largest economy, followed by China, which has the
world's second largest. Japan, Germany, India, the United Kingdom, and France are other significant
contributors to global GDP. IMF also states the during 2022 the growth of the globe stood at 3.4% which is
projected to drop to 2.9% in 2023 and then again increase to 3.1% in 2024. The low growth of 2023 is estimated
so because of high interest rate of Central Banks owing to the consequences of Ukraine’s war as well as
increased inflation raise, particularly in emerging economies. Oil prices are anticipated to decline by around
16% in 2023, while non-fuel commodity prices are anticipated to do so by an average of 6.3%.

With the complete reopening in 2023, growth is expected to go up in China. The economies of both groups
(advanced and emerging economies) are predicted to perk up in 2024 as a result of inflation slowing down
and a gradual recovery from the consequences of the conflict in Ukraine. Notwithstanding the easing of
supply constraints, it is predicted that world trade growth would follow the direction of global demand and
fall to 2.4% in 2023 before increasing to 3.4% in 2024. These predictions are predicated on a number of
hypotheses, including the pricing of commodities that are fuel or are not fuel-related.

Bottoming out of the Economy


The Global Economic Prospects 2023 affirmed the world economic potentials have deteriorated significantly
since June 2022, owing to the ongoing effects of negative shocks. As per predictions 90% of advanced econ-
omies are going to confront bottoming out of their economic growth in 2023. It is anticipated that advanced
economies will face drastic fall down in 2023 from 2022’s growth 2.7% to 1.2%. Then again in 2024 it is project-
ed to increase to 1.4%. In United States growth will slow from 2.0% in 2022 to 1.4% in 2023 and 1% in 2024. The
rate of increase in the Euro Area is forecasted to peak at 1.6% in 2024 after hitting a low of 0.7% in 2023. United
Kingdom’s expansion is likely to be -0.6% in 2023 whereas Japan is expected to enhance in the growth scale
at 1.8% in 2023. The expected growth rate for emerging market and developing economies is 3.9% in 2022,
4.0% in 2023, and 4.2% in 2024.

ANNUAL
REPORT 2022 89
Growth forecasts have been reduced dramatically for substantially all advanced economies and around
two-thirds of EMDEs in 2023, and for barely half of all nations in 2024. The intensity and contemporaneous of
policy tightening is putting a considerable drag on the worldwide recovery from the 2020 global recession.
According to the Global Economic Prospects-2023, global growth will rise 2.9% in 2022 and 1.7% in 2023. Most
of the slowing of global growth may be ascribed to the financial damage suffered by large economies,
which will put pressure on consumption demand in emerging and developing nations (EMDEs). EMDEs are
expected to face a slower economic recovery than advanced economies. The consequent economic
impacts will exacerbate the difficulties that EMDEs are already encountering as a result of declining domestic
conditions.

Adverse effect of Russia Ukraine War


Russia and Ukraine have been at odds for several years, with hostilities extending back to the fall of the Soviet
Union in 1991. The much more latest flare-up in the war occurred in 2014, when pro-Russian rebels in the
Ukrainian territory of Crimea proclaimed independence and were seized by Russia. The international com-
munity strongly opposed the move, and the United Nations General Assembly voted a resolution in 2014
calling the annexation unlawful. The violence has caused a number of fatalities and human evacuation, as
well as claims of human rights violations on both sides.

Blooming of the Inflation


Inflation has emerged as one of the biggest flaws for the world economy two years after the epidemic
started. The globe looks to be heading towards an explosion of inflation that has not been experienced in
the past 40 years. In 2023, overall inflation is projected to be lower in 84% of nations than it was in 2022. Entire
globe inflation is expected to decline from 8.8% in 2022 to 6.6% in 2023 and 4.3% in 2024, still being higher than
the pre-pandemic average of approximately 3.5%. Due to a decline in worldwide demand, the forecast
disinflation also takes into account falling global stock prices for both fuel and nonfuel goods. It also illustrates
the impact of tighter monetary policy on core inflation, which is predicted to fall from 6.9% in the fourth quar-
ter of 2022 to 4.5% in the fourth quarter of 2023 on worldwide basis. Although disinflation may occur gradually,
by 2024 it is anticipated that in 82% and 86% of regions of the world, respectively, headline and core inflation
remains to be higher than pre-pandemic levels.

In early 2022, the Russian invasion of Ukraine's effect on global oil prices, natural gas, fertilizer, and food prices
further exacerbated the situation. Higher gasoline prices were a major contributor to inflation as oil producers
saw record profits. Debate arose over whether inflationary pressures were transitory or persistent. Central
banks responded by aggressively increasing interest rates.

The impact of 2022 shocks on World Output and Core Inflation was noteworthy. Mainly advanced econo-
mies faced overburdened global supply chain networks because of the shift towards goods consumption.
This resulted in disruption of global trade functions for which imported goods encountered shortage and
price of these grew rapidly.

Although inflation is anticipated to ease its level in 2023, there is risk associated with it of not doing so. Particu-
larly in countries like United States where living cost is high and labor markets are narrower, there employees
tend to claim demand for higher wages and organizations concede to them. This resulting increased level of
labor costs in turn increases prices and thus inflation level also increases. So there is always inherent risk of
persistently higher inflationary level apart from the anticipation or previously approved explanations. Tight
labor markets tend to drive up labor costs and this in turn results in higher inflation.

Global Trade Trends


According to UNCTAD, the organization for trade and development, global growth "became negative" in
the second half of 2022. By the end of the year, the UN agency predicted that trade in commodities and
services will total $25 trillion and $7 trillion, respectively. The decline started in the third quarter of the year,
when goods sales were around 1% lower than they were from March to May.

Source: UNCTAD calculations based on national statistics.

According to the trade and development update, demand for imported products "is certain" throughout
2022, with transaction volumes overall rising by 3%. While South-South trade dropped as during third quarter,
east Asian transaction volumes revealed resilience. According to UNCTAD's research highlights, worldwide
trading is anticipated to be severely impacted in 2023 overall by "geopolitical frictions, persistent inflation,
and decreased global demand."

Worldwide Foreign Direct Investment


In 2022, the worldwide climate for international trade and cross-border investment altered radically. Since
January corporate executives were upbeat about the potential for investments of the year. But unfortunately
a result of recent geopolitical shocks, people's expectations for a strong rebound are changing. For exam-
ple, the conflict in Ukraine, along with the pandemic's residual effects, is generating a triple food, fuel, and
financial crises in many nations throughout the world. Overall 35% FDI inflows declined because of the hitting
of pandemic since 2020. With growth reaching 6% in 2021 after a disastrous decline of 3.4% the year before,

ANNUAL
REPORT 2022 91
the world economy seemed to be on the mend. Among all the economies, the United States saw the biggest
gain in inbound FDI in 2021. According to the most recent Coordinated Direct Investment Survey report from
the IMF, the US position improved by $506 billion (11.3%) last year. For 2022 investors and business leaders were
optimistic about the advancement and progression more intensely then for 2021.

The attributes that investors recognize as being most crucial when deciding where to make foreign direct
investments or not, are those that ensured the developed economies' outstanding performance in 2022. The
increase in importance that investors gave to government rules' openness and a lack of corruption was
particularly striking. Tax rates and convenience of filing taxes both continue to be highly regarded. This
demonstrates that investors are realizing the benefits of strong governance and transparent regulation while
also looking for secure and dependable places to keep their funds following two years of major COVID
disruption, supply chain issues, and other distortions.

United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) report stated, “the outlook for global FDI
in 2023 appears weak, with a significant number of economies around the world expected to enter a reces-
sion”. For the coming year 2023, major FDI anticipations include having significant effects on the first half of
the year as pressure on the world economy will remain due, several nations will enter recession period, global
inflation will start to decline, apparent embankment of the rebalancing of trade and investment partners,
etc. The decrease in Investment coming into China will continue to be advantageous for Asian nations.

will strive to attract more foreign direct investment. Even if there are worries about a worldwide economic
slowdown, foreign investments are anticipated to flood into the real estate and technology industries in the
coming year.

State of Unemployment Status


During 2022, the prognosis for labor markets around the world considerably worsened. The first instance of
simultaneous high inflation and low growth since the 1970s has occurred due to emerging geopolitical
tensions, the Ukrainian conflict, inconsistent pandemic recovery, and continuing supply chain issues. Policy-
makers must make a difficult import and export as they confront elevated inflation in a situation where the
employment revival is still not fully underway. In 2022, there were 473 Million unemployed individuals world-
wide, or a 12.3% unemployment rate.

In December 2022, the OECD rate of unemployment stayed flat at 4.9%. However, 33.9 Million jobless employ-
ees represented a decrease where the unemployment rates for men and women maintained constant at
5.2% and 4.7%, correspondingly. Accordingly, the unemployment rate in the European Union and the euro
zone stood at historic lows of 6.1% and 6.6%. The unemployment rate decreased outside of Europe in
Canada, and the United States, while remaining unchanged in Australia, Japan and Mexico. In comparison,
Korea, Colombia, Turkey and Israel faced increasing unemployed rates.

According to a latest International Labour Organization (ILO) report, the present worldwide economic down-
turn is likely to compel further employees to opt for poor grade, badly paid professions that have little or no
job security and social safeguards, underscoring imbalances that have already been made worse by the
COVID-19 crisis. Additionally, according to ILO predictions, worldwide employment increase in 2023 will only
be 1.0%, or less than half of what it was in 2022. In 2023, the number of unemployed people worldwide is
projected to increase by about 3 Million, to 208 Million (corresponding to a global unemployment rate of
5.8%). The limited labor supply in high-income nations is primarily to blame for the small build of this expected
rise.

BANGLADESH ECONOMY: SHORT SYNOPSIS

Even at times of high global uncertainty, Bangladesh has a good track record of economic expansion and
growth. Throughout the last two decades, fast stimulus spending has been backed by a sustained economic
growth, robust ready-made garment (RMG) exports, strong remittance inflows, and sound economic circum-
stances. Although a recent spike in commodity prices has created additional hurdles for the people of the
Country, simultaneously the remarkable recovery from the COVID-19 epidemic has continued in FY22.

Bangladesh is undoubtedly a great success story in terms of reducing poverty and fostering growth. Bangla-
desh rose from being one of the poorest countries in 1971 to lower-middle income level in 2015. It is on path
to leave the UN's list of Least Developed Countries (LDC) in 2026. According National Human Development
Report (NHDR) prepared by the Economic Relations Division (ERD), Bangladesh will be the world's 24th largest
economy by 2030. So the country's economic prosperity is up in the air. The primary elements for this econom-
ic miracle are prudent economic regulation, transformation, and enormous investments in human capital
and infrastructure. The economic outlook for the year 2023 of Bangladesh Economy is stated by World Bank
in its most updated Global Economic Prospects report where the observations claim that GDP growth rate of
the Country will reduce at 5.2% in FY23. It attributes the steep slowdown to growing inflation and its negative
impact on household income and industry production costs, as well as scarcity, import bans, and monetary
policy restrictions. Nevertheless, growth is expected to accelerate to 6.2% in FY24.

According to the World Bank, Bangladesh has been heavily struck by the consequences of a changing
global environment. It was pushed out of global energy markets and unable to supply consumers' and com-
panies' energy demands. The mixture of inadequate currency bottlenecks and broadening outward current
account imbalances stimulated several countries, including Bangladesh and Pakistan, to seek assistance
from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) in replenishing their currency reserves and reducing external
financing extreme pressure.

GDP: Gross Domestic Product


Bangladesh's GDP has grown steadily over the last decade, reaching 7.0% in FY 2015-16 and 8.0% in FY
2018-19. However, the COVID-19 epidemic slowed growth to 3.45% in fiscal year 2019-20. In fiscal year
2020-21, the GDP increased by 6.94%. According to BBS preliminary projections, GDP growth in FY 2021-22
was 7.25%, 0.05 percentage point higher than the goal rate and 0.31 percentage point higher than

in Bangladesh. In FY 2021-22, per capita GDP climbed to Tk. 2,32,828 from Tk. 2,08,751 in the previous fiscal
year. In contrast, per capita national income in FY 2020-21 increased from Tk. 2,19,738 in comparison with the
past financial year to Tk. 2,41,470. In US dollars, per capita GNP and GDP were $2,824 and $2,723 in FY

According to preliminary figures from the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS), the Bangladeshi economy
grew 7.25% in the fiscal year 2021-22, fueled by an increase in industrial operations. Bangladesh's GDP is
estimated to total 465 Billion international dollars in 2022 which was 416 Billion as per the data indications of
last year, that is, in percentage up by 12.64% than the previous year. This is a gain of around 287 Billion US
dollars since 2014, and is projected to keep going at least till 2027.

According to IMF, Bangladesh’s growth forecast for fiscal year 2022-2023 is 6%. Higher inflation as well as
interest rate, war tension effect of Russia and Ukraine, etc. are some of the significant factors that contribute
to the Country’s GDP going through downward flow as comparison to the expectation level. For the said
fiscal year, inflation is projected to reach to 8.5%. The IMF projection is identical with the predictions made by
the World Bank for Bangladesh’s economical perspective. As per World Bank GDP growth of current fiscal
year will stand at 6.1%. Meanwhile Asian Development Bank (ADB) projects the GDP rate to be 6.6%.
Comprehensively the aim of the Government was to touch GDP at 7.5% for the same period of time.

Savings and Investment


Total investment increased to 31.68% of GDP in FY 2021-22, as per the findings of preliminary estimates done
by authoritative sources where the private sector investment climbed to 24.06% of GDP, up from 23.70% in the
previous fiscal year. Meanwhile the public sector investment climbs to 7.62% of GDP, up from 7.32% in the
previous fiscal year. In real numbers, investment totaled Tk. 12,59,882 Crore in FY 2021-22, a 15.06% increase
from Tk. 10,95,019 in the previous fiscal year.

REPORT 2022 95
Inflationary Pressure
The Ukraine-Russia conflict has caused a significant increase in global gasoline and food costs. As a result,
inflation is on the upswing. According to the IMF's World Economic Outlook report for April 2022, inflation in
2022 is forecasted to be 5.7% in developed nations and 8.7% in developing countries, respectively, 1.8 and
2.8 percentage points higher than in January. Bangladesh's average inflation rate has already surpassed the
objective of 5.3%. For the fiscal year 2021-22, the average inflation rate was 5.83% from July to March.

Capital Market Consequences


The capital market serves as an intermediary of long-term fundraising for a country's rapid industrialization
through the sale and purchase of shares, debentures, bonds, mutual funds, treasury bills, certificates, and so
on, and the capital market's turnover promotes to the growth of a nation's economy. Bangladesh's capital
market is comprised of two full-fledged stock exchanges: DSE and CSE. The BSEC, as a supervisor, oversees
the country's stock markets. The Broad Index of the DSE and the CSE's all-share price index were 0.47% and
0.44% lower at the end of December 2022, respectively, than the prior month. The overall turnover value of
DSE and CSE traded securities was 55.71% and 20.06% lower in December 2022, correspondingly, than in
November 2022.

By the end of December 2022, the total number of DSE's listed securities was 656. DSE's market capitalization
was BDT 7609.37 Billion as of the end of December 2022, 0.43% lower than the previous month but 40.34%
higher than the same month of the previous year. Through the end of December 2022, the total number of
listed securities on the CSE was 618. The CSE's market capitalization was BDT 7414.38 Billion as of the end of
December 2022, 0.29% lower than in November 2022 but 61.69% higher than in the same month of the
previous year. The DSE and CSE Price-Earnings (P/E) ratios were 14.10 and 14.35 at the closing bell in
December 2022, correspondingly, increased from 14.50 and 16.26 somewhere at close of November 2022.

Tackling Challenges
The much-anticipated Padma bridge and Dhaka metro train were eventually opened in 2022, and the
government declared that Bangladesh had achieved 100% electrification. Nonetheless, it turned out to be
drastically different from what was predicted. Just a few months after the government declared that it had
brought 100% of the population under electrical coverage, power outages swept over the country for
months on end, until winter gave some relief. The cost of living has risen to levels not seen in decades, causing
ordinary people to struggle to acquire even the most basic products, a rapid drop in people's savings, and
households to shift income from investing on education and healthcare to earn one's living.

Bangladesh must generate jobs and career opportunities through a fiercely competitive business climate,
boost human resources and establish a competent workforce, good planning infrastructure, and end up
creating a policy atmosphere that encourages private investment boost up in order to achieve its vision of
becoming an upper middle-income country by 2031.

Expanding exports outside the RMG sector, developing the financial industry, creating urbanization better
sustainable, and improving governmental institutions, including fiscal changes to produce more domestic
money for development are among the stated objectives. Acknowledging infrastructural gaps would hasten
growth while tackling climate change and natural catastrophe risk will assist Bangladesh in continuing to
build resilience to future disruptions. A shift toward green growth would help to ensure the long-term viability
of development results for better future.

BANKING INDUSTRY STANDPOINT 2022

The banking industry experienced a number of issues as a result of increased worldwide financial distress
driven by global simulative monetary policy. During 2022, Bangladesh Bank has made significant policy
changes. For example, the duration of private bank directors was expanded from six to nine years by the
Bank Company (Amendment) Act of 2018, and the number of members of the same family on the board of
a private bank was doubled from two to four and so on. The Bangladesh Bank countered to rising global
energy costs with blackouts and industry shutdown to decrease energy use. To maintain the country's
international reserves, it stopped acquiring automobiles and made it more difficult to acquire luxury items as
well as formed policy for lesser electricity usage. BB aims to regulate banking industry with effective reforms
and effectual guidelines to establish strong regulation and supervision policy.

ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS PERSPECTIVE 2023

The World Bank has reduced its projection of economic growth for Bangladesh for the fiscal year 2022-23
(July 2022-June 2023) due to increasing inflation and its adverse influence on household incomes and
business input prices, as well as scarcity, import bans, and monetary policy adjustment. In its newest edition
of Global Economic Perspectives, issued on Tuesday, the global lender forecasts 5.2% growth for Bangla-
desh's GDP in the current fiscal year, down from 6.5% anticipated previously in June last year. In 2022, the
country's GDP increased by 7.2%. According to the analysis, Bangladesh's economy is predicted to perk up
again and revert to its potential speed in the fiscal year 2023-24. (July 2023-June 2024).

According to the Asian Development Bank, Bangladesh's economic development is being stifled by external
trade imbalances and unexpectedly high inflation, which has caused the rate to fall below the previously
forecasted 6.6%. In September, the ADB's flagship publication ADO Update estimated Bangladesh's GDP
growth at 6.6%, down from the earlier forecast of 7.2% for the current fiscal year (FY) 2022-23. According to
the ADOS, "in Bangladesh, the GDP growth projection for FY2023 has been revised downward due to lower
exports and a broadening trade imbalance, persistent massive inflation and scarcity of electric power and
other energy, toned down remittances, and austerity measures implemented by the government to close a
large budget deficit."

FINANCIAL FUNCTIONING

The Board of Directors is in charge of preparing and fairly presenting financial statements in line with the
appropriate financial reporting framework, rules, and requirements.

Financial Statement Fair Presentation: We (the Directors) are charged with the preparation and fair presenta-

respects.

Appropriate Books of Account Maintenance: The Bank has maintained proper books of account as mandat-
ed by the applicable laws and regulations.

ed in the production of the Bank's financial statements, and accounting estimates must always be based on
fair and responsible judgment. Estimates and underlying principles are examined on a continuous basis, and
any changes are accounted for in the period in which the projection is updated as well as any following
periods influenced. The key accounting rules followed and accounting assumptions applied in the compila-
tion of the Bank's financial statements are described in the notes to the GIB Financial Statement 2022.

Compilation of Financial Statements in conformity with IAS/IFRS and any Departure there-from: The bank's
financial statements for the fiscal year ended 31 December 2022 have been prepared under the historical
cost convention and in accordance with IFRS, the "First Schedule" (section 38) of the Bank Company Act
1991, as modified by BRPD Circular no.14 dated 25 June 2003, other Bangladesh Bank Circulars, the Compa-
nies Act 1994, the BSEC Rules, Dhaka and Chittagong Stock Exchange's listing regulations, and other regula-
tions and legislation as related in Bangladesh. For some of the cases, Bangladesh Bank's requirement vary
from those of the IFRS in several areas of financial reporting. In those kind of circumstances, Bangladesh
Bank's compliance has been ensured through departure from the applicable IAS/IFRS rules, which are noted
in the financial statements.

Potential to Continue as a Going Concern: There are no significant doubts about the Bank's capacity to
continue as a going concern. The Bank's financial statements are based on the premise that the entity (Glob-
al Islami Bank) is a going concern and will keep running its business activities in the foreseeable future. As a
result, it is anticipated that the Bank has no plan of dissolving or considerably curtail the scope of its functions.
This GIB Annual Report includes an in-depth report on Going Concern.

ensures the effectual continuous process of not revealing non-public information. The Board members are

GIB PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS
FROM THE DESK OF THE CFO

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim,

By the grace of Almighty Allah, Global Islami Bank PLC (GIB) has completed another successful year. Hope-
fully the world will remain in the transition period of the COVID-19 pandemic in the year 2023. After more than
two years since the first cases were reported, it has significantly changed the environment we operate in. The
pandemic added many complexities and challenges in banking business globally, including key topics such
as investment quality, liquidity, profitability, digitization, cyber security and sustainability.

To keep pace with the changing banking environment, we re-prioritized the way we look at our business,
focusing on the very basic question of how will we implement our strategy and perform our business. Despite
these enormous challenges, I am very much pleased at the excellent performance of Global Islami Bank PLC

operating profit growth was 8.26%, investment growth was 10.83% and total assets growth was 15.81% keep-
ing NPI at 4.48%. GiB’s ROA and ROE for the year 2022 were 0.67% and 9.92% respectively.

ultimate goal. In order to make the budget realistic, participation of both the branches and Head Office
management is essential. Accordingly, we have prepared our budget with the participation of both branch-
es and head office. The banking business seriously affected by COVID-19 pandemic since 2020. Moreover,
profit rate cap on investment at maximum 9.00% and inflation adjusted profit rate on deposits also put
pressure on the profitability of the Bank. Very much optimistically, we have achieved almost all the targets
set in our budget 2022 in this adverse situation. Import Business handled by GIB for the year 2022 BDT 5,030
million against BDT 4,137 million in 2021 and Import Business increased by 22% over last year. Export Business
handled by GIB for the year 2022 BDT 1,793 million against BDT 911 million in 2021 and Export Business

ANALYSIS

PESTEL analysis is a framework or tool used to analyze and monitor the macro-environmental (external
environment) factors that have an impact on an organization. Any business organization operates within the
context of an environment. Environmental study is a vital component of every business organization at any
stage of its life cycle as it captures varied effects because of the environment’s implications on its operations.

The environment of an Organization is categorized into two main environments: Internal and External
environment. External environment consists of the “PESTEL” Factors-Political, Economic, Social, Technologi-
cal, Environmental and Legal factors. Such kind of an analysis is crucial from the point of view of Stakeholders
particularly shareholders, as it informs them how key external factors can influence an organization’s perfor-

GIB ECONOMIC VALUE
ADDED STATEMENT
Economic Value Added (EVA) is the measure of financial performance of an organization. It is based on the
principle that since a company’s management employs equity capital to earn a profit; it must pay for the
use of this equity capital. This management tool is useful to shareholders in particular and other stakeholders
in general to take decision for increasing wealth.

EVA is equal to Profit after Tax (PAT) plus the provision for investment and other assets less written off during
the year minus cost of equity where cost of equity is the opportunity cost that the shareholders forego. This
cost of equity is calculated by taking proxy rate i.e. average Return on Equity (ROE) of the Banking Industry
as reported in Monetary Policy Statement of Bangladesh Bank.

Global Islami Bank EVA stood at BDT 983.50 million as of December 31, 2022 as against BDT 916.81 million as
of December 31, 2021.

GIB HUMAN RESOURCE
ACCOUNTING
Human Resource Accounting involves capitalizing the company’s management and employees as human
capital that provides future benefits. In the HRA approach, costs related to human resources are treated as
assets on the balance sheet as opposed to the in traditional accounting approach which treats them as
expenses on the income statement. HRA implies that in addition to the measures themselves, the process of
measurement has relevance in decision-making involving organizations. Therefore, HRA is the process of
identifying and measuring data about human resources and communicating this information to the interest-
ed parties. It is an attempted process to identify and report investments made in human resource that the
current practices do not account for.

Human Resource Accounting is an attempt to identify, quantify and report investment made in Human
resources of an organization that is not presently accounted for under conventional accounting practice. It
involves the tracking of all costs related to the followings:

OBJECTIVES OF GIB HUMAN RESOURCE ACCOUNTING

Numerous objectives of GIB human resource accounting are as follows:

• It is used to measure the cost related to the human resource of GIB.


• Helping the management in preparing proper plans and budgets for training and other services that are
provided to the employees.

ECONOMIC LANDSCAPE
IN RELATION TO RISK
While the economies of the world were recovering to the pre-COVID-19 trend, the war in Ukraine
appeared to trigger the economic losses created by unprecedented pandemic COVID-19. According to
the UN, the global economy grew by 5.5 percent in 2021 and will grow by 4.0 percent in 2022 and 3.5
percent in 2023. World Bank projected global economic growth to be 4.1 and 3.2 percent in 2022 and 2023
respectively, while growth was estimated 5.5 percent in 2021. IMF projected that the global economy will
grow by 3.6 percent both in 2022 and 2023. Bangladesh is not fully immune from the spill-over effects of
economic losses caused by the COVID-19.and now coupled with war in Ukraine, however, due to the
timely decision, including implementation 28 packages of incentives worth of Tk. 1,87,679 crore, taken by
the government of war in Ukraine Bangladesh under the leadership of the Hon. Prime Minister Sheikh
Hasina, Bangladesh has turned around to previous high growth trajectory. BBS provisionally estimated the
GDP growth to be 7.25 percent and the per capita income to be US$ 2,824 in FY 2021-22. The inflation rate
is estimated to be 5.8 percent in FY 2021-22. Both exports and imports are showing outstanding growth.
Export receipts is estimated to cross US$ 50 billion and import payments to be around US$ 80 billion in FY
2021-22 while exports and imports were US$ 40.1 billion and US$ 61.7 billion respectively in FY 2020-21. The
currency Taka depreciated around 1.9 percent against US$ during the first ten months of the current fiscal
year. During July-April of FY 2021-22 the remittance inflow recorded US$ 17.31 billion and foreign exchange
reserve position stood US$ 44.1 billion on 30 April 2022. Considering strong domestic demand, fiscal
expansion, rebound of export, improved COVID-19 situation, restoration of lives and livelihood, full
resumption of economic activities, implementation of COVID-19 incentive packages, completion of few
mega projects including Padma bridge, it is expected that the economy of Bangladesh will continue to
grow at pace of pre-pandemic growth path.

Bangladesh economy was growing consistently high over a decade crossing 7.0 percent milestone in FY
2015-16 and 8.0 percent milestone in FY 2018-19, however, the COVID-19 pandemic reduced the growth
rate to 3.45 percent in FY 2019-20. Under the prudent leadership of the Honorable Prime Minister Sheikh
Hasina Bangladesh successfully managed COVID-19 pandemic and returned to high growth trajectory. The
economy grew by 6.94 percent in FY 2020- 21. According to the provisional estimates of BBS, the GDP
growth stood 7.25 percent in FY 2021-22, 0.05 percent higher than the target rate and 0.31 percent higher
than the previous fiscal year. Medium-term forecasts for GDP growth rates are 7.5 percent in FY 2022-23, 7.8
percent in FY 2023-24 and 8.0 percent in FY 2024-25.

The global economy continues to be volatile and under stress, and our continued commitment to sound
risk management has proved to be effective as reflected in our strong capital and liquidity position. We
recognize that maintaining and continually enhancing our risk management capabilities will be critical in
the months ahead to ensure that the bank’s financial and strategic objectives are achieved within
approved levels of risk appetite.

RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk management is the process of making and carrying out decisions that will minimize the adverse effects
of risk on an organization. The adverse effects of risk can be objective or quantifiable like insurance
premiums and claims costs, or subjective and difficult to quantify such as damage to reputation or
decreased productivity. By focusing attention on risk and committing the necessary resources to control
and mitigate risk, a business will protect itself from uncertainty, reduce costs, and increase the likelihood of
business continuity and success.

A risk exists where there is an opportunity for a profit or a loss. In terms of losses, we commonly refer to the
risks as exposures to loss, or simply exposures. A re is an exposure. Defective products or defamation are
liability exposures. The loss of business that results from a damaged building or tarnished reputation is also
an exposure.

The extent of a risk can be expressed as follows: Risk = Probability x Severity

RISK ANALYSIS
BY THE CHIEF RISK OFFICER

Muhtaram,

Assalamu Alaikum WRWB,

The healthy growth of a country's economy


depends on the healthy growth of that
country's banking sector. One of the most
important factors for a healthy banking
sector is effective surveillance and supervi-
sion. The main purpose of surveillance and
supervision is to ensure that banks retain
sufficient capital against the risks they bear
and to ensure that they operate in an
environment where reliable conditions are
created. Effective surveillance and super-
vision in banking plays a critical role in
ensuring stability in the financial system of
every country. It provides the benefits in
free market conditions and in the imple-
mentation of effective macroeconomic
policies. Risk Management is an important
aspect of the Bank's policies. Risk is the
possibility of a decrease in economic
benefit in the event of a monetary loss or
an expense or loss related to a transaction
or activity of a bank. In order to monitor
and control the risks the banks are exposed
to establish and operate an adequate and
effective internal audit, internal control
and risk management system that is com-
patible with their activities and structure in
accordance with changing conditions,
covering all branches and departments,
and reporting to the board of directors
within the framework of the principles set
for them. To create a risk management
culture and control perspective in line with
legal requirements in the Bank and its
subsidiaries subject to consolidation, and
to ensure that the risks incurred within the
scope of established procedures and
principles; to define, measure, analyze,
systematically and effectively monitor,
audit and report functions and regularly
review them to create a risk management
cycle.

Risk management is important for a bank


to ensure its profitability and soundness. It is
also a concern of regulators to maintain
the safety and soundness of the financial
system. Over the past decades, banking
business has developed with the introduc-
tion of advanced trading technologies
and sophisticated financial products

154
ANNUAL
REPORT 2022
While these advancements enhance bank’s intermediation role, promote profitability, and better diversify
bank risk, they raise significant challenges to bank risk management. The risk management of banks has
been considered to be weak compared to the rapid changes in the financial markets. In the light of the
recent global financial crisis, bank risk management has become the major concern of banking regulators
and policy makers. Bank risk is usually referred as the potential loss to a bank due to the occurrence of
particular events. Key risks in banking include credit risk, interest rate risk, market risk, liquidity risk, and
operational risk.

BANK’S RISK MANAGEMENT APPROACH

GIB’s risk management system includes policies, procedures, limits, and controls in its foundation. This
foundation provides adequate, timely, and continuous identification, assessment, measurement,
monitoring, mitigation, and reporting of risks posed by its activities at the business line and institution-wide
levels.

Considering the gravity and risk in banking sector, Bangladesh Bank has so far introduced 06 (six) core risk in
banking arena.

- CAMLCO/BAMLCO - Investment Appraisal - Limits
- AML/CFT - Investment Evaluation - Stop Loss Limits

ANNUAL
REPORT 2022 155
The Bank Management has embedded the Risk Management Framework (RMF) across the Bank including
branches and subsidiaries. It allows the Bank to identify and manage risks holistically as well as
strengthening the Bank’s capabilities to understand, articulate and control the nature and level of the risks
the Bank Management takes while still serving its clients soundly.

In 2022, the Executive Risk Management Committee (ERMC) reviewed the RMF. During this process, the
ERMC analyzed Core Risks and made improvements to the Bank’s approach to the Core Risks
Management Committee (CRMC) in order to mitigate the risks more smoothly. The Bank will consider
whether any of the other existing or emerging risks should be treated as material risks over time.

GENERAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICY

The basics of the bank’s risk management policy are:


1. To carry out daily activities within the scope of functional separation of duties (deciding to perform a
transaction that causes risk, accounting of the transaction and assigning the functions of control of the
transaction to the responsibility of different personnel)
2. To adopt portfolio approach in Risk Management; systematically analyze and compare observed
information and events within correlation and probabilities,
3. To establish a strong control and risk management culture within the bank, execution of trading
transactions units responsible for recording the resulting transactions units. The third dimension is the
control function. It is the effective monitoring and management of all risks that the bank may be
exposed to by evaluating the risks.
4. “Being aware” of the risks undertake during the activities, taking “measures” to prevent the realization
of risks, allocating “provisions” if necessary, “hedging” the risk within the framework of the Bank’s
policies if market conditions are appropriate, and “making a profit” during all these activities.
5. Avoiding concentration through portfolio diversification.
6. It will not affect the service quality negatively but maximize process reliability to support daily activities
with checkpoints to keep them at controlled level.

BASEL ACCORD

The “Basel Accord” on capital adequacy measurement of 1988 is considered as the major success of the
Basel Committee and has received an unexpected degree of acceptance. Its main goal was to
strengthen the consistency and stability of the international banking system and to calculate the minimum
capital levels for banks operating in the international arena (Basel, 1988). Basel Committee on Banking
Supervision, Bank for International Settlements (2017) reported briefly the changes in 2017 for Basel III.

The main purpose of the Basel III is to improve the quality of risk management in the banking business,
which in turn should enhance financial system stability as a whole.

Risk management is important for banks to ensure their profitability and soundness. It is the process
established by bank managers to ensure that all risks associated with the bank’s activities are identified,
measured, limited, controlled, mitigated, and reported on a timely and comprehensive basis. A sound risk
management system is necessary to support the regulators in assessing bank’s soundness and to reinforce
the market participants’ confidence in the banking system. The Basel Committee suggests that a sound risk
management system should have:
i. Active board and senior management oversight;
ii. Appropriate policies, procedures, and limits;
iii. Comprehensive and timely identification, measurement, mitigation, controlling, monitoring, and
reporting of risks;
iv. Appropriate management information systems at the business and firm-wide level; and
v. Comprehensive internal controls.

RISK MANAGEMENT
FRAMEWORK

Risk management framework is a set of components that provide the foundations and organizational
arrangements for designing, implementing, monitoring, reviewing and continually improving risk
management throughout the organization. The notion of a risk management framework is essentially
equivalent to the concept of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM).

Earlier, organizational Risk Management was restricted to reactive responses. Today however, Risk
Management has emerged as a multidimensional activity and an integral part of organization’s structure,
ensuring stability. Risk management is specifically crucial for financial institutions, as prudent and forward-
looking Risk Management practices can help achieving the boarder strategy of institutions.

RISK MANAGEMENT ORGANOGRAM

To build an appropriate safeguard for the bank from any sort of hazard, there is no alternative to establish a
strong risk culture in the bank. As per Bangladesh Bank DOS circular no. 04 dated 8th October 2018, Global
Islami Bank (GIB) has redesigned the organogram of the Risk Management.

RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS

The success of risk management in any bank will depend on the effectiveness of the risk management
system providing the foundation and arrangements that are put in place throughout the organization at all
levels. The system should be comprehensive enough to capture all the material risks to which our bank is
exposed. It should facilitate processes for assessment and necessary treatment of these risks. The minimum
standards of a sound risk management system include the following elements. The table below provides an
overview of the bank’s risk management process.

RISK PROFILE

Risk profile is the amount or type of risk a bank is exposed to. Forward risk profile is a forward-looking view of
how the risk profile may change both under expected and stressed economic conditions. To determine the
overall risk position, Bank generally considers diversification benefits across risk types. The diagram shows
Bank’s overall risk, as measured by the economic capital usage calculated under Guidelines on Risk-Based

RISK CULTURE

Risk culture is about understanding risks the financial institution faces and how they are managed. A sound
and consistent risk culture throughout a financial institution is a key element of effective risk management.
Risk culture and its impact on effective risk management must be a major concern for the board and
senior management.

GIB developed an integrated and institution-wide risk culture, based on a full understanding of the risks it
faces and how they are managed, considering risk tolerance and appetite. Since the business of banks
involves risk taking, it is fundamental that risks are appropriately managed. A sound and consistent risk
culture throughout a financial institution is a key element of effective risk management.

RISK GOVERNANCE AND ORGANIZATION

Risk governance refers to the structure, rules, processes, and mechanisms by which decisions about risks are
taken and implemented. It covers the questions about what risk management responsibilities lie at what
levels and the ways the board influences risk-related decisions; and the role, structure, and staffing of risk
organization. A good practice in this dimension is where the board has regular involvement in managing
key risk issues, and risk management responsibilities are proportionate to the risks assumed at a particular

CORE RISK MANAGEMENT

Investment Risk
Investment risk arises from the potential that the borrowers of a bank may fail to meet their obligations in
accordance with agreed terms. Investment risk also refers the risk of negative effects on the financial result
and capital of the bank caused by borrower’s default on its obligations to the bank. Different risks may
arise from the investment activities of a bank such as Residual Risk, Concentration Risk, and Environmental
& Climate Change Risk etc.

Foreign Exchange Risk Management


Foreign exchange risk is the current or prospective risk to earnings and capital arising from adverse
movements in currency exchange rates.

The Financial Institutions’ performance is directly related to Foreign Exchange Market. To ensure effective
Foreign Exchange Risk Management, the Bank has wide scope in establishing organizational structure and
formulating Manual as per Guidelines of Bangladesh Bank. However, the Bank has already formulated a
comprehensive manual. Bank maintains various NOSTRO accounts in order to conduct operations in
different currencies including BDT. The senior management of the Bank set limits for handling NOSTRO
accounts transactions that include time and amount limits. As per guidelines of Bangladesh Bank the
Foreign Exchange business should be audited internally to review the key control issues such as various
limits, compliance requirements and statutory management.

Asset-Liability Risk Management


The goal of asset/liability management (ALM) is to properly manage the risk related to changes in profit
rates, the mix of balance sheet assets and liabilities, the holding of foreign currencies, and the use of
derivatives. These risks should be managed in a manner that contributes adequately to earnings and limits
risk to the financial margin.

The Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) that is formed with the senior executives headed by
Managing Director conducted 12 meetings during the year 2021. The key agenda of the meetings were
liquidity position, pricing, risk related to the Balance Sheet, maintaining CRR & SLR, Economic outlook &
Market Status and rate of profit (interest). For managing Balance Sheet risk properly, the Bank has already
prepared a Manual of the Asset Liability Management according to the guidelines of Bangladesh Bank.

Internal Audit & Compliance Risk Management


Internal Audit & Compliance risk is the current or prospective risk to earnings and capital arising from
violations or non-compliance with laws, rules, regulations, agreements, prescribed practices, or ethical
standards, as well as from the possibility of incorrect interpretation of effective laws or regulations. Bank are
exposed to compliance risk due to relations with a great number of stakeholders, e.g. regulators,
customers, counter parties, as well as, tax authorities, local authorities and other authorized agencies.

The bank complies with all rules and regulations set by the regulatory bodies. All guidelines received from
the regulatory authorities are properly circulated among the Divisions and Branches. We regularly monitor
the implementation status of regulatory guidelines.

According to the Central Bank’s guideline, the bank has formed separate internal audit and compliance
division for an effective internal control system. This division ensure that bank complies with all regulatory
requirements of the legislative bodies in conducting its business. It also maintains liaison with the regulatory
bodies and informs the other division of the bank regarding regulatory changes. Internal audit is also
conducted by the same division to monitor the operational performance of different branches of the bank
and division.

ICT Risk Management


ICT risk is the risk associated with the use, ownership, operation, involvement, influence and adoption of ICT
within a Bank. It consists of ICT related events and conditions that could potentially impact the business. It
can occur with both uncertain frequency and magnitude and it creates challenges in meeting strategic
goals and objectives.

ANNUAL
REPORT 2022 165
STRATEGIC RISK MANAGEMENT
Strategic Risk
Strategic risk means the current or prospective risk to earnings and capital arising from imperfection in
business strategy formulation, inefficiencies in implementing business strategy, non-adaptability/less adapt-
ability with the changes in the business environment and adverse business decisions. Strategic risk induces
operational loss that consequentially hampers the capital base.
Managing Strategic Risk
Banking is an industry that is subject both to market competition and considerable regulation. Therefore,
banking institutions must not only evaluate potential changes in the competitive.

Financial landscape, but must also pay attention to potential changes on the regulatory side. An effective
overall corporate strategy combines a set of activities a bank plans to undertake with an adequate assess-
ment of the risks included in those activities. Building a rigorous strategic risk management framework requires
an institution to re-examine both its internal practices and its external environment. In other words, external
factors have an impact on internal practices and at the same time those internal practices can in turn have
an impact on how the institution is viewed externally and even have an impact on the marketplace more
broadly since financial markets are so interconnected.

SETTLEMENT RISK MANAGEMENT

Settlement risk
Settlement risk arises when an executed transaction is not settled as the standard settlement system suggests
or within predetermined method. GiB poses to the risk when it fulfills its contractual obligations (payment or
delivery), but the counterparty fails or defaults to do the same. Non-receiving or delayed receiving of receiv-
able bills (foreign & domestic) is evaluated to assess settlement risk.

Managing settlement risk


FX settlement risk is a form of counterparty risk involving both credit risk and liquidity risk. Managing settlement
risk allows banks to control risk exposure to different types of FX settlement-related risks. These FX settle-
ment-related risks include operational risk, replacement cost risk. The development of counterparty settle-
ment limits and the monitoring of the exposures against these limits is a critical control function.

The Bank measure and mange settlement risk for following purposes:
• To ensure that all FX settlement-related risks are effectively managed and that its practices are
consistent with those used for managing other counterparty exposures of similar size and duration;
• To identify, measure, control and reduce the size and duration of its remaining FX settlement-related
risks;
• To have measurement systems that provide appropriate and realistic estimates of FX settlement
exposures on a timely basis;
• Development of counterparty settlement limits and the monitoring of the exposures against these
limits;
• To have procedures for reacting in a prompt and balanced manner to ‘failed’ transactions or other
settlement problems;
• To supplement the necessity of proper assessment and management of settlement risk in ICAAP
purpose of the Bank for reducing the capital charge in context of Pillar 2 (Supervisory Review Process)
of RBCA.

EVALUATION OF CORE RISK MANAGEMENT

Bangladesh Bank identified 6 (six) risk areas which are termed as core risks through issuing industry best prac-
tices framework. Those frameworks provided benchmark to be followed by the banks and suggested the
banks to develop own assessment methodology for each core risks as well as to calculate own risk rating at
least once a year. Bangladesh Bank appraisal process will evaluate the risk ratings and capital charge will be
imposed for the below “Satisfactory” ratings. The capital charge against Appraisal of Core Risk Management
Methodology will be as follows:

• Capital charge will be applied for each risk separately,


• No capital charge will be imposed for risk ratings of 1 (Strong) and 2 (Satisfactory),

Investment Risk Monitoring and Control
Bank needs to develop and implement comprehensive procedures and information systems to monitor the
condition of each individual investment across various portfolios. GIB needs to enunciate a system that
enables them to monitor quality of the credit portfolio on a day-to-day basis and take remedial measures
as and when any deterioration occurs. These procedures need to define criteria for identifying and
reporting potential problem loans and other transactions to ensure that they are subject to more frequent
monitoring as well as possible corrective action, classification and/or provisioning. Establishing an efficient
and effective investment monitoring system would help senior management to monitor the overall quality
of the total investment portfolio and its trends and helps to reassess investment strategy/policy accordingly
before encountering any major setback.

The bank’s investment policy explicitly provides procedural guideline relating to investment risk monitoring.
At the minimum it lays down procedure relating to:
• The roles and responsibilities of individuals responsible for investment risk monitoring;
• The assessment procedures and analysis techniques (for individual investments & overall portfolio)
• The frequency of monitoring;
• The periodic examination of collaterals and investment covenants;
• The frequency of site visits;
• The identification of deterioration in any investment
An effective investment monitoring system includes measures to:

• ensure that the bank understands the current financial condition of the borrowers;
• ensure that all loans are in compliance with existing covenants;
• follow the use customers make of approved credit lines; venture that projected cash flows on
major credits meet debt servicing requirements;
• ensure that, where applicable, collateral provides adequate coverage relative to the obligor’s
current condition; and
• Identify and classify potential problem credits on a timely basis.

Given below are some key indicators that depict the investment quality of an exposure:

• The bank needs to watch carefully the financial standing of the borrowers. The key financial
performance indicators namely profitability, equity, leverage and liquidity will be analyzed. While
making such analysis due consideration will be given to business/industry risk, borrowers' position
within the industry and external factors such as economic condition, government policies and
regulations. For companies whose financial position is dependent on key management personnel
and/or shareholders, for example, in small and medium enterprises, institutions would need to pay
particular attention to the assessment of the capability and capacity of the
management/shareholder(s).
• In the case of an existing borrower, the bank monitors the borrower’s account activity, repayment
history and instances of excesses over investment limits. For trade financing, GIB monitors cases of
repeat in extensions of due dates for trust receipts and bills.
• The bank regularly reviews the investment in terms of the borrower’s ability to adhere to financial
covenants stated in the investment agreement, and any breach detected is addressed promptly.
• The bank needs to reassess the value of collaterals on a periodic basis. Appropriate inspection is
conducted to verify the existence and valuation of the collateral. The frequency of such valuation
is very subjective and depends upon nature of collaterals. For instance, investments granted
against shares need revaluation on almost daily basis whereas if there is mortgage of a residential
property the revaluation may not be necessary as frequently. In case of investment facilities secure
against inventory or goods at the obligor’s premises, appropriate inspection is conducted to verify
the existence and valuation of the collateral. If such inventory or goods are perishable or value
diminish rapidly (e.g. electronic equipment/computers), additional precautionary measures is
taken.

MARKET RISK MANAGEMENT

Market Risk
The risk of potential losses in the on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet positions of banks, steams from
adverse movements in market rates or prices such as profit rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices,
investment spreads and/or commodity prices. Banks may be exposed to market risk in variety of ways.
Market risk exposure:

• May be explicit in portfolios of securities/equities and instruments that are actively traded;
• May be implicit such as profit rate risk due to mismatch of assets and liabilities; and
• May arise from activities categorized as off-balance sheet items.

The risk arising from market risk factors such as Profit Rates, Foreign Exchange Rates, equity prices and

Profit Rate Risk
Profit rate risk is the potential impact on bank’s earnings and net asset values due to changes in market
profit rates. Profit rate risk arises when bank’s principal and profit cash flows (including final maturities), both
on- and off-balance sheet, have mismatched re-pricing dates. The amount at risk is a function of the
magnitude and direction of profit rate changes and the size and maturity structure of the mismatch
position. Bank’s lending, funding and investment activities give rise to profit rate risk. Profit rate risk
management must be conducted within the context of a comprehensive business plan.

Foreign Exchange Risk


Foreign exchange risk is the current or prospective risk to earnings and capital arising from adverse
movements in currency exchange rates. The foreign exchange positions arise from the following activities:

a) trading in foreign currencies through spot, forward and option transactions as a market maker or
position taker, including the unheeded positions arising from customer-driven foreign exchange
transactions;
b) holding foreign currency positions in bank’s book (e.g. in the form of investments, bonds, deposits or
cross-border investments); or
c) engaging in derivative transactions that are denominated in foreign currency for trading or hedging
purposes

Equity Price Risk


Equity price risk is the risk of losses caused by changes in equity prices. These losses could arise because of
changes in the value of listed shares held directly by the bank; changes in the value of listed shares held by
the bank’s subsidiary; changes in the value of listed shares used as collateral for investments from the bank
or its subsidiary, whether or not the investment was made for the purpose of buying the shares; and
changes in the value of unlisted shares. Equity price risk associated with equities could be systematic or
unsystematic. The former refers to sensitivity of portfolio’s value to changes in overall level of equity prices,
while the latter is associated with price volatility that is determined by firm specific characteristics.

Commodity Price Risk


Commodity price risk is the financial risk on an entity's financial performance/ profitability upon fluctuations
in the prices of commodities that are out of the control of the entity since they are primarily driven by
external market forces. Common strategic initiatives to manage commodity risk include diversification and
flexibility. Diversification is one of the more common methods used to reduce risk and uncertainty.
Banks have very little exposure to commodities in their trading book. Price rise/movement in commodities is
more complex and volatile. Banks in developed countries use derivatives to hedge commodity price risk.
Banks in our country have to acquire the skills to manage as and when they get exposed to commodity
price risk.

Managing Market Risk


GIB puts in place a set of systems and procedures appropriate to its size and complexity of its operations for
identifying, measuring, monitoring and controlling market risk. The risk appetite in relation to market risk
should be assessed keeping in view the capital of the bank as well as exposure to other risks. Once the
market risk appetite is determined, the bank developed a strategy for market risk-taking in order to
maximize returns while keeping exposure to market risk at or below the pre -determined level.

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT

Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk occurs when a bank is unable to fulfill its commitments in time when payment falls due. The
purpose of liquidity measurements is to ensure that a bank remains solvent in its day-to-day operations at all
times and in meeting up long term obligations. Liquidity risk can be of two types:

• Funding liquidity risk: the risk that a firm will be unable to meet its current and future cash flow and
collateral needs without affecting its daily operations or its financial condition.
• Market liquidity risk: the risk that a firm cannot easily offset or sell a position without incurring a loss
because of inadequate depth in the market.

ANNUAL
REPORT 2022
Liquidity risk Control
Sound liquidity risk management engaged in measuring, monitoring and controlling liquidity risk is critical to
the survival of the bank. Our liquidity risk management procedures are widespread and holistic.
Responsibility of managing and controlling liquidity of the bank lies with Asset Liability Committee (ALCO).

The committee meets at least once in every month. Asset Liability Management (ALM) desk of the treasury
function closely monitors and controls liquidity requirement on a daily basis by appropriate coordination of
funding activities. they are primarily responsible for management of liquidity in the bank. A monthly
projection of fund flows is reviewed in ALCO meeting regularly.

We have identified several key liquidity risk indicators, which are monitored on a regular basis to endure
healthy liquidity position. These are:

• Cash Reserve Requirement (CRR)


• Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR)
• Asset to Deposit Ratio (ADR)
• Medium Term Funding Ratio (MTFR)
• Maximum Cumulative Outflow (MCO)
• Investment Deposit Ratio (IDR)
• Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR)
• Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR)
• Structural Liquidity Profile
• Volatile Liability Dependency Ratio

OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Operational risk
Operational risk is defined as the risk of unexpected losses due to physical catastrophe, technical failure
and human error in the operation of bank, including fraud, failure of management, internal process errors
and unforeseeable external events.

It is clear that operational risk differs from other risks in that it is typically not directly taken in return for an
expected reward, but exists in the natural course of corporate activity, and that this affects the risk
management process. At the same time, failure to properly manage operational risk can result in a
misstatement of bank’s risk profile and expose the bank to significant losses.

Operational risk can be subdivided into two components: operational strategic risk and operational failure
risk. It is also defined as internal operational risk.
Operational strategic risk arises from environmental factors such as a new competitor that changes the
business paradigm, a major political and regulatory regime change, and other factors that are generally
outside the control of bank. It also arises from a major new strategic initiative, such as getting into a new
line of business or redoing how current business is to be done in the future. It is also defined as external
operational risk.

Operational failure risk arises from the potential for failure in the course of operating the business. A firm uses
people, process, and technology to achieve business plans, and any one of these factors may experience
a failure of some kind. Accordingly, operational failure risk is the risk that exists within the business unit
caused by the failure of people, process, or technology. A certain level of the failures may be anticipated
and will be built into the business plan. These failures can be expected to occur periodically, although both
impact and frequency may be uncertain.

Mitigation of Risks
Some significant operational risks have low probabilities but potentially very large financial impact.
Moreover, not all risk events can be controlled, e.g. natural disasters. Risk mitigation tools or programs can
be used to reduce the exposure to, or frequency and/or severity of such events. For example, insurance
policies can be used to externalize the risk of “low frequency, high severity” losses which may occur as a
result of events such as third-party claims resulting from errors and omissions, physical loss of securities,
employee or third-party fraud, and natural disasters.

However, GIB views risk mitigation tools as complementary to, rather than a replacement for, thorough
internal operational risk control. Having mechanisms in place to quickly recognize and rectify legitimate
operational risk errors can greatly reduce exposures. Careful consideration also needs to the extent to
which risk mitigation tools such as insurance truly reduce risk, or transfer the risk to another business sector or
area, or even create a new risk e.g. legal or counterparty risk.

RESIDUAL RISK MANAGEMENT

Risk Based Capital Adequacy (RBCA) framework and other supervisory regulations on investment risk
management allow banks to offset investment or counterparty risk with collateral along with the legal and
financial documents. While banks use different techniques to reduce their investment risk, improper
application of these techniques give rise to additional risks that may render the overall risk management
less effective. Accordingly, these additional risks (e.g. documentation risk, valuation risk) are termed as
Residual Risks. Residual Risk arises mainly out of the following situations:

• Error in Documentation
• Error in valuation of collateral.

CONCENTRATION RISK MANAGEMENT

Concentration risk arises when any bank will invest its most or all of the assets to single or few individuals or
entities or sectors or instruments. That means when any bank fails to diversify its investment and investment
portfolios, concentration risk emerges. Concentration risk can be of following two types:

• Investment Concentration Risk: When the Investment portfolio of a bank is concentrated within
a few individuals or entities or sectors, investment concentration risk arises.
• Market Concentration Risk: When the investment portfolio of a bank is concentrated within a
few instruments or any instrument of few companies or any instrument of few sectors, market
concentration risk arises.

REPUTATION RISK MANAGEMENT

Reputation risk is the current or prospective risk to earnings and capital that arise from decline in the
customer base, costly litigation due to adverse perception of the stakeholders. It can originate from the
lack of compliance with industry service standards or regulation, failure to meet commitments, inefficient
and poor quality customer service, lack of fair market practices, unreasonably high costs and
inappropriate business conduct. In a nutshell, ‘reputation risk arises from the failure to meet stakeholders’
reasonable expectation of an organization’s performance and behavior’.

Reputation risk is difficult to measure and mange. Qualitative statements are agreed as below:
• Under no circumstances bank’s reputation to be compromised by revenue generating activities.
• Bank shall always avoid potential brand damaging issues.
• Bank shall avoid anti-environmental and anti-social elements in its business.

STRATEGIC RISK MANAGEMENT
Strategic Risk
Strategic risk means the current or prospective risk to earnings and capital arising from imperfection in
business strategy formulation, inefficiencies in implementing business strategy, non-adaptability/less adapt-
ability with the changes in the business environment and adverse business decisions. Strategic risk induces
operational loss that consequentially hampers the capital base.
Managing Strategic Risk
Banking is an industry that is subject both to market competition and considerable regulation. Therefore,
banking institutions must not only evaluate potential changes in the competitive.

Financial landscape, but must also pay attention to potential changes on the regulatory side. An effective
overall corporate strategy combines a set of activities a bank plans to undertake with an adequate assess-

factors have an impact on internal practices and at the same time those internal practices can in turn have
an impact on how the institution is viewed externally and even have an impact on the marketplace more
broadly since financial markets are so interconnected.

SETTLEMENT RISK MANAGEMENT

Settlement risk
Settlement risk arises when an executed transaction is not settled as the standard settlement system
suggests or within predetermined method. GiB poses to the risk when it fulfills its contractual obligations
(payment or delivery), but the counterparty fails or defaults to do the same. Non-receiving or delayed
receiving of receivable bills (foreign & domestic) is evaluated to assess settlement risk.

Managing settlement risk


FX settlement risk is a form of counterparty risk involving both credit risk and liquidity risk. Managing
settlement risk allows banks to control risk exposure to different types of FX settlement-related risks. These FX
settlement related risks include operational risk, replacement cost risk. The development of counterparty
settlement limits and the monitoring of the exposures against these limits is a critical control function.

The Bank measure and mange settlement risk for following purposes:
• To ensure that all FX settlement-related risks are effectively managed and that its practices are
consistent with those used for managing other counterparty exposures of similar size and duration;
• To identify, measure, control and reduce the size and duration of its remaining FX settlement-related
risks;
• To have measurement systems that provide appropriate and realistic estimates of FX settlement
exposures on a timely basis;
• Development of counterparty settlement limits and the monitoring of the exposures against these

banks to develop own assessment methodology for each core risks as well as to calculate own risk rating at
least once a year. Bangladesh Bank appraisal process will evaluate the risk ratings and capital charge will be
imposed for the below “Satisfactory” ratings. The capital charge against Appraisal of Core Risk Management
Methodology will be as follows:

• Capital charge will be applied for each risk separately,


• No capital charge will be imposed for risk ratings of 1 (Strong) and 2 (Satisfactory),

ENVIRONMENTAL & CLIMATE CHANGE RISK MANAGEMENT
Environmental and climate change risk refers to the uncertainty or probability of losses that originates from
any adverse environmental or climate change events (natural or manmade) and/or the non-compliance
of the prevailing national environmental regulations. This is a facilitating element of Investment risk arising
from environmental issues. Environmental and climate change risk can hamper the business stability of the
borrowers in respect of both:
• Profitability and
• Reputation
Consequentially, the extent of risk for the bank will be higher.

Policies and process for mitigation of Environmental Risk


Currently, in GIB Environmental risk management issues are being reviewed by the Green Banking Unit of
the bank and conveying the relevant recommendations to the respective departments/divisions against
the particular risk issues to mitigate the identified risks. The reviewed issues are as follows:
 No. of projects applicable for Environmental Due Diligence (EDD);
 No. of projects rated (Environmental Risk Rating);
 Risk grade wise rating status;
 Risk grade wise financed status; etc.
OTHER MATERIAL RISK MANAGEMENT

SRP requires that a bank’s internal capital allocation process should cover all risks which have not been
identified earlier but are material for GIB. Such risks may include e.g. strategic risk or reputation risk, but a
bank needs to consider all risks not specified in case it can be captured in the bank’s operation and can
be regarded as material. Risks may appear which are specific to the bank and derive from its non-standard
activities or clientele but fall outside the scope of specified risk definitions under Pillar 1 and Pillar 2.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
Capital Management and its Relationship with Risk Management
GIB has devised and established suitable Capital management system in order to calculate the capital
adequacy ratio and secure adequate capital to cover the risks they face from the standpoint of ensuring
soundness and appropriateness of the business.

Capital management in banks usually refers to implementing measures aimed at maintaining adequate
capital, assessing internal capital adequacy of bank and calculating its capital adequacy ratio. It is
gaining increasing importance around the world, as reflected from taking several reform initiatives and
changes in the prudential requirements undertaken by central banks in different countries in line with the
reform measures proposed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision.
Risk management is increasingly becoming difficult to separate from capital management. Most banking
risks can be quantified as numerical indicators, and this quantification naturally leads to the principle that
increased capital can be held to cover unexpected losses at a certain confidence level. The followings
indicate the relationship between risk management and capital requirement:
• Capital management helps to ensure that bank has sufficient capital to cover the risks associated
with its activities;
• As part of the internal capital adequacy assessment process (ICAAP), management identifies the
risks that the bank is exposed to, and determines the means by which they will be mitigated;
Capital is used to cover some of these risks, and the remainder of these risks is mitigated by means of
collateral or other investment enhancements, contingency planning, additional reserves and valuation
allowances, and other mechanisms.
The results of capital management are:
• A Capital Plan that meets the needs of the bank over a three-year time horizon;
• An ICAAP that determines precise levels of required capital (the “solvency need”) according to
the measures of balance sheet capital and regulatory capital.
• A process to regularly compare available capital with current and projected solvency needs, and
address deficiencies in a timely manner.

ACTION PLAN FOR FUTURE

We expect the Bangladesh economy to continue its progressive trend in 2023. However, strong worldwide
demand, coupled with rising energy prices (particularly natural gas), will cause inflation. The rising import
cost and dwindling inflow of remittance causing depletion of the country’s Forex reserve. The foreign
exchange market is already unstable and the pressure on FC exchange rate may mount further. The
geopolitical instability stemmed from the Russia-Ukraine war might have adverse impact on the country’s
export volume as well. With lifting of deferral on loan repayment by the Central Bank, the commercial
banking sector may struggle to manage the health of loan portfolio. However, as the economic activities
are picking up, we are expecting that the demand for credit will increase. Based on that backdrop, Global
Islami Bank has determined its action plan for the year 2023 and future which are as follows:

ALCO PURVIEW

ASSET LIABILITY MANAGEMENT (ALM)

Asset liability management (ALM) can be defined as a mechanism to address the risk faced by a bank due
to a mismatch between assets and liabilities either due to liquidity or changes in profit rates. Liquidity is an
institution’s ability to meet its liabilities either by borrowing or converting assets. Apart from liquidity, a bank
may also have a mismatch due to changes in profit rates as banks typically tend to borrow short term and
lend long term.

In the process of managing liquidity risk and repricing risk, Asset Liability Management (ALM) functions
extends to manage market risk, trading risk, funding and capital planning, profit planning and growth
projection.

Asset and Liability Management process includes factors like strategic allocation of assets, risk mitigation,
and adjustment of regulatory and capital frameworks. By successfully matching assets against liabilities,
financial institutions are left with a surplus that can be actively managed to maximize their investment
returns and increase profitability.

ASSET LIABILITY COMMITTEE (ALCO)

Asset-Liability Committee (ALCO) consists of senior executives of the Bank who takes decision regarding
various issues related to Bank’s assets-liability management in order to earn adequate returns complying
applicable regulatory ratios. The Managing Director & CEO is the Chairman of ALCO, while Head of
Treasury Division acts as the Member Secretary. ALCO's strategies, policies and procedures are aligned with
the goals, objectives and risk tolerances of the Board. This committee meets regularly to analyze, review
and formulate strategy to manage the financials portfolio. Details of composition of ALCO are stated in the
‘Corporate Information’ section of this GIB Annual Report.

Asset-Liability Committee reviews the ALCO paper along with the prescribed agendas. Treasury submits its
views on liquidity and market risks, more specifically including:

 Economy and market movement


 Repricing profit rates
 Deposits mobilization or augmenting advances
 Short-term or long-term calibration of deposits and advances
 Inter-division transfer pricing of funds

Based on the analysis and views, the committee takes strategic decisions to achieve the dual objective of
moderating balance sheet risks and optimizing profitability.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF ALCO

ALCO is a decision-making hub responsible for Balance Sheet planning from the risk-return perspective,
including the strategic management of profit rate and liquidity risks. Some of the major responsibilities of
ALCO are as follows:
 Ensure that the bank’s assessment and reporting systems accurately convey the degree of liquidity
and market risks.
 Monitor the structure and composition of the bank’s assets and liabilities and identify balance
sheet management issues, where further scrutiny is required.
 Determine major aspects of the balance sheet structure, such as maturity and currency mix of
assets and liabilities, mix of corporate vs. retail funding, deposit mix, etc.
 Review maturity profile and mix of assets and liabilities on an ongoing basis.
 Approve and periodically review the transfer pricing policy of GIB.
 Review deposit and investment pricing strategy.

DISCLOSURES ON
RISK BASED CAPITAL (BASEL-III)

BACKGROUND
To strengthen global capital and liquidity rules with the goal of promoting a more resilient banking sector,
the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) issued “Basel-III: A global regulatory framework for
more resilient banks and banking systems” in December 2010. The objective of the reforms was to improve
the banking sector’s ability to absorb shocks arising from financial and economic stress, whatever the
source, thus reducing the risk of spillover from the financial sector to the real economy. Through its reform
package, BCBS also aims to improve risk management and governance as well as strengthen banks’
transparency and disclosures.
Basel Committee’s comprehensive reform package also addressed the lessons of the economic and
financial crisis, which began in 2007, for holding insufficient liquidity buffers and building up excessive on
and off-balance sheet leverage that results in a gradual erosion of the level and quality of the capital
base.
To cope up with the international best practices and to make the bank’s capital shock absorbent,
Bangladesh Bank issued ‘Guidelines on Risk Based Capital Adequacy (Revised Regulatory Capital
Framework for banks in line with Basel-III) in December 2014 with the instructions to maintain the minimum
capital requirement under pillar 1, additional capital requirement under pillar 2 and market disclosure
requirement under pillar 3. Global Islami Bank PLC (GIB) has put special attention to implement Basel-III
inside the Bank.

INTRODUCTION
The objective of the reforms was to improve the banking sector’s ability to absorb shocks arising from
financial and economic stress, whatever the source, thus reducing the risk of spillover from the financial
sector to the real economy. Through its reform package, BCBS also aims to improve risk management and
governance as well as strengthen banks’ transparency and disclosures. It effectively exploits the new
frontiers of risk management. It seeks to give impetus to the development of a sound risk management
system which hopefully will promote a more efficient, equitable and prudent allocation of resources. Both
internationally and domestically, the implementation of Basel-III has gripped a lot of interest. To cope with
the international best practices and to make the bank’s capital more risk sensitive as well as more shock
resilient, ‘Guidelines on Risk Based Capital Adequacy (RBCA) for Banks ‘have been introduced by
Bangladesh Bank with an action plan for implementing a new Capital Adequacy framework in line with
Basel-III. A Basel-III implementation Committee has been formed in Global Islami Bank PLC and the Bank
has effectively implemented Basel-III and submitted the quarterly report to Bangladesh bank on time. The
disclosure framework (i.e. Pillar-III) is designed to increase the transparency of banker’s risk profile by
requiring it to give details of its risk management and risk distributions.

1. Purpose

 To complement the Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR) under Pillar-1 and the Supervisory Review
Process (SRP) under Pillar-2 of Risk Based Capital Adequacy guideline issued by Bangladesh Bank.

The Bank strictly follows the guidelines of Bangladesh Bank


regarding capital adequacy. The Bank has Capital to Risk-
weighted Assets Ratio of 16.49% as against the minimum
regulatory requirement of 10% and capital conservation
buffer (CCB) of 2.5%, which denotes a total regulatory
capital requirement of 12.50%. Common equity Tier-1
capital adequacy ratio is 15.21% against the minimum
regulatory requirement of 4.5%.

The Bank’s policy is to manage and maintain its capital with


the objective of maintaining strong capital ratio and high
rating. Due to sustainable growth in all aspects including
general investment of BDT 11,868.05 Crore and deposit of
BDT 11,880.92 crore, the Bank was able to maintain
minimum capital with surplus of BDT 337.68 Crore. The Bank
also ensures that the capital level comply with regulatory
requirements and satisfy the external rating agencies and
other stakeholders including depositors. To ensure
adequate capital for sustainable growth, the Management
of Global Islami Bank PLC has already taken well planned
initiatives which includes but not limited to the followings:
(a) Consistently encouraging existing corporate clients to
complete external investment (credit) rating in a view
to assess counterparty Investment (credit) Risk status
and to reduce capital requirement.
(b) Improving and enhancing eligible collaterals, by way
of collateral optimization.
(c) Booking new clients are taking into considerations their
risk profile and investment (credit) rating.
The Bank’s Capital adequacy ratio is periodically assessed
and reviewed by the respective department and reported
to Bangladesh Bank respectively. The composition of
capital in terms of Common Equity Tier-1, Additional Tier-1
and Tier- 2 are also analyzed to ensure capital stability and
to reduce volatility in the capital structure.

policy. Bangladesh Bank’s relevant guidelines to ensure best
practices in investment risk management and maintain
quality of assets. Some officials are properly delegated in
order to check and balance in investment management
at every stage. The Bank generally takes collaterals in the
form of pledges of sufficient eligible marketable securities,
mortgages over the property etc. All of the collaterals
taken do not necessarily qualify for availing capital relief
under the capital adequacy framework. To ensure with a
high degree of certainty that the collateral value will cover
the exposure, discounts (“haircuts”) are generally applied
to the current market value.

other guarantees. The reliance that can be placed on these mitigates is
carefully assessed in light of issues such as legal certainty and
enforceability, market valuation correlation and counterparty risk of the
guarantor.
Risk mitigation policies determine the eligibility of collateral types.
Collateral types which are eligible for risk mitigation include: cash;
residential, commercial and industrial property; fixed assets such as
motor vehicles, plant and machinery; marketable securities;
commodities; bank guarantees; and letters of investment (credit).
Collateral is valued in accordance with our Methodology for Valuation
of Security/Collateral Assets, which prescribes the frequency of
valuation for different collateral types, based on the level of price
volatility of each type of collateral. Collateral held against impaired
loans is maintained at fair value.
Investment Division always performs their jobs dedicatedly to mitigate
the investment (credit) risk and also ensure the perfection of proper
securities. Internal Control and Compliance Division (ICCD)
independently assesses the investment (credit) quality and compliance
status during their audit at least once a year. Adequate provision is kept

9. Profit Rate Risk in the Banking Book


Qualitative Disclosures:
The general qualitative disclosure Interest rate risk is a risk where changes of profit rates in the market
requirement including the nature might adversely affect bank’s financial condition. Changes in
of IRRBB and key assumptions, interest rates have two following types of impact: -
including assumptions regarding a) Earning Perspective: It affects a bank’s current earnings by
loan prepayments and behaviour changing its net interest/profit income and the level of other
of non-maturity deposits, and interest sensitive income and operating expenses. The short
frequency of IRRBB measurement. term income of changes in interest rates is on the bank’s interest
income (NII).
b) Economic Value Perspective (Net worth of the bank): Economic
value of the future cash flows changes when interest rate
changes. In the long term, changes in interest rates impact the
cash flows on the assets, liabilities and off-balance sheets items,
giving rise to a risk to the net worth of the bank arising out of all
re-pricing mismatches and other interest rate sensitive position.

A maturity mismatch approach is used to measure Global Islami


Bank’s exposure to interest rate risk. A positive mismatch means that
more assets than liabilities are repriced in a given period. With a
positive mismatch, a rise in market interest rates will have a positive
effect on the bank's earnings. On the other hand, a negative
mismatch, where more liabilities are repriced than assets in a given
period, means a drop in earnings if interest rates had increased.

GIB has been exercising the Stress Testing using the Duration GAP for
measuring the Interest Rate Risk on its banking book for estimating
the impact of the net change in the market value of equity on the
Capital to Risk Weighted Assets Ratio (CRAR) due to change in
interest rates. Bank periodically computes the interest rate risk on the
banking book that arises due to re-pricing mismatches in interest rate
sensitive assets and liabilities. Details relating to re-pricing
mismatches and the interest rate risk thereon are placed to the
ALCO on regular basis with proposal for corrective action, if
necessary.

GIB applies the following technique to manage the interest rate risk
in the Banking Book.

REPORT 2022
RePricing
Schedule Gap Analysis

-Duration Gap
-Quarterly Stress
Testing

Re-Pricing Schedules: It is the simplest technique to measure the


bank’s interest rate risk exposures and that generates a maturity /a
re-pricing schedule that distribute interest sensitive assets, liabilities
and OBS positon in to a certain number of predetermined time
bands according to their maturity (if fixed rate) or time remaining to
their next re-pricing (if floating rate).

Those assets and liabilities lacking definitive re-pricing intervals (Sight


deposits/saving deposits) or actual maturity that could fluctuate
from contractual maturities are assigned re-pricing time bands
according to judgement and past experience of banking activities.
Gap Analysis: It helps to assess the interest rate risk of current
earnings. To evaluate the earning exposures, interest rate sensitive
liabilities in each time band are subtracted from the corresponding
interest rate sensitive assets to produce a re-pricing ‘gap’ for that
time band. This gap is multiplied by an assumed change in interest
rate to yield an approx. change in net interest income that would
result from such interest rate movement.

Qualitative Disclosures:
i. Views of BoD on trading/ Market Risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of the
investment activities financial instruments will fluctuate due to changes in different
market variable/factor, namely
i) Profit rate factor: Likelihood that interest rate will
change.
ii) Currency factor: Likelihood that Foreign exchange
rate will change
iii) Equity factor: Likelihood that stock price will change
iv) Commodity factor: Likelihood that Commodity price
will change

ANNUAL
REPORT 2022 205
and reviews compliance on a regular basis. The objective is to
provide cost effective funding to finance asset growth and trade
related transactions.
ii. Methods used to measure Standardized approach has been used to measure the Market
Market risk risk. The total capital requirement in respect of market risk is the
aggregate capital requirement calculated for each of risk sub-
categories. For each risk categories minimum capital requirement
is measured in terms of two separately calculated capital charges
for “specific risk” and “general market risk”.
iii. Market risk management system The Treasury Department manages market risk covering liquidity,
interest rate and foreign exchange risks with oversight from Asset-
Liability Management Committee (ALCO) comprising senior
executives of the bank. ALCO is chaired by the Managing
Director. ALCO meetings are held at least once in a month.
iv. Policies and process for mitigating There are approved limits for investment (credit) deposit ratio,
Market risk. liquidity asset to total asset ratio, maturity mismatch, commitments for
both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet items and borrowing
from money market and foreign exchange position.
The limits are monitored and enforced on a regular basis to protect
against market risks. The exchange rate committee of the bank
meets on daily basis to review the prevailing market condition,
exchange rate, foreign exchange position and transaction to
mitigate foreign exchange risks. Foreign exchange risk is computed
on the sum of net short positions or net long positions, whichever is
higher of the foreign currency positions held by the Bank. The Bank
adopts maturity method in measuring interest rate risk in respect of
securities in trading book.

11. Operational Risk
Qualitative Disclosures:
a) Views of BOD on system to reduce Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed
Operational Risk internal processes, people and systems (for example failed IT
systems, internal or external fraud or from external causes, whether
deliberate, accidental or natural. It is inherent in all of the Bank’s
activities. The policy for operational risks including internal control
and compliance risk is approved by the Board taking in to
account relevant guidelines of Bangladesh Bank. Audit
Committee of the Board directly oversees the activities of the
respective division to protect against all operational risk.
b) Performance Gap of Executives Performance is the most important factors to achieve the
and Staffs organizational goals. GIB always tries to be the best pay master in
the sector and ensure best workplace safety for its employees to
avoid inconsistent employment practices and unsound
workplace safety by way of discrimination regarding employee’s
compensation, health and safety. GIB strongly believe in
employee motivation and we do our best for making employee
happiness. As a result, there is no significant gap.
A half yearly and yearly performance appraisal practices are in
place to review achievements based on which rewards and
recognition decisions are made. Internal control and compliance
Division (ICCD) is continuously monitoring to minimize any
potential brand damaging performance gap by employees
especially fraud-forgery, misuse of power of attorney, weak
customer services, weak internal and regulatory compliance etc.

206
ANNUAL
REPORT 2022
However, our learning and development strategy puts special
focus on continuous professional development to strengthen
individual’s skill level by removing the weakness to perform the
assigned job with perfection. We have a wide range of internal
and external training programs to enhance capabilities to minimize
performance gap and to continuous more to bottom line.

c) Potential External Events Normally and by its nature, Operational risk cannot be totally
eliminated. All banks operate their business with few potential
external events that may significantly affect the banks. GIB is
always trying to prevent the potential external events like follows:
• General business environment
• Country’s political condition
• Price inflation
• Changes in taxation
• Risk of litigation process
• Damage of physical assets
• Volatility in the capital market and money market
• ICT security
• External fraud
• Business disruption and system failure etc.
Accordingly, the bank invests heavily in IT infrastructure for better
automation and online transaction environment. The bank also
has huge investment on network links to avoid business
description and system failure. Its IT system does not allow any
kind of external access to avoid external fraud by way of theft/
hacking of information assets, forgery etc.

d) Policies and process for The policy for operational risks including internal control &
mitigation operational risk compliance risk is approved by the Board taking in to account
relevant guidelines of Bangladesh Bank. The preparation of Policy
guidelines on risk based internal audit system is under process.
According to the guideline the branches will rate in terms of their
risk status. It is the policy of the bank to put all the branches of the
bank under any form of audit at least once in a year. To reinforce
operational risk by identifying, assessing, monitoring, controlling
and mitigating the risk, rectifying operational risk events, and
implementing any additional procedures required for
compliance with central bank requirements.
Apart from that, there is adequate check and balance at every
stage of operation, authorities are properly segregated there is at
least dual control on each transaction to protect the operational risk.

e) Approach for calculating capital Basic Indicator Approach (BIA) is used to calculate the capital
charge for operational risk requirements against operational risk.
Under BIA, the capital charge for operational risk is a fixed
percentage, denoted by ‘α (alpha)’ of average positive annual
gross income of the bank over the past three years. Figures for any
year in which annual gross income is negative or zero, should be
excluded from both the numerator and denominator when
calculating the average. The following formula is used in this case;
K = [(GI 1 + GI2 + GI3) a]/n
Where-
K = the capital charge under the Basic Indicator Approach
GI = only positive annual gross income over the previous three
years (i.e., negative or zero gross income if any shall be excluded)

ANNUAL
REPORT 2022 207
a = 15%
n = number of the previous three years for which gross income is
positive.
Gross income: Gross Income (GI) is defined as “Net Interest
Income” plus “Net non-Interest Income”.

12. Liquidity Ratio


Qualitative Disclosures:
a) Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that a bank may be unable to meet short
term financial demands. This usually occurs due to the inability to
convert a security or hard asset to cash without a loss of capital
and/or income in the process. Liquidity Risk is often triggered by
the consequences of other financial risks such as investment
(credit) risk, interest rate risk, foreign exchange risk, etc.
Liquidity risk is two types as follows;
i. Funding liquidity risk
ii. Market liquidity risk
b) Views of BOD in system to reduce Sound liquidity risk management engaged in measuring,
liquidity Risk monitoring and controlling liquidity risk is critical to the viability of
the bank.

Responsibility of managing and controlling liquidity of the bank lies


with Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) and ALCO committee is
approved by the Board of Directors of the bank through approval
of ALM Policy Guidelines and the committee meets at least once
in every month.

Asset Liability Management (ALM) desk of the treasury function


closely monitors and controls liquidity requirement on a daily basis
by appropriate coordination of funding activities and they are
primarily responsible for management of liquidity in the bank. A
monthly projection of fund flows is reviewed in ALCO meeting
regularly. At the same time committee takes permission from the
Board of Directors for its any change of interest rates due
considering liquidity risk.
c) Methods used to measure At a very basic level, liquidity measurement involves assessing all
Liquidity risk of a bank’s cash inflows against its outflows to identify the potential
for any net shortfalls going forward. This also includes funding
requirements for off balance sheet commitments.

An important aspect of measuring liquidity is making assumptions


about future funding needs. While certain cash inflows and
outflows can be easily calculated or predicted, bank also make
assumptions about future liquidity needs, both in the very short-
term and for longer time periods. One important factor to consider
is the critical role a bank’s reputation plays in its ability to access
funds readily and at reasonable terms.

We have identified several key liquidity risk indicators, which are


monitored on a regular basis to ensure healthy liquidity position.
These ratios are:

208
ANNUAL
REPORT 2022
Statutory Liquidity Requirement;
i) Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR);
ii) Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR)
iii) Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR)
iv) Advances to Deposit Ratio(ADR);
v) Structural Liquidity Profile (SLP);
vi) Maximum Cumulative Outflow (MCO);
vii) Medium Term Funding Ratio(MTFR);
viii) Liquid Asset to Total Deposit Ratio;
ix) Liquid Asset to Short Term Liabilities;
d) Liquidity risk management In order to develop comprehensive liquidity risk management
system framework, we have Contingency Funding Plan (CFP), which is a
set of policies and procedures that serves as a blueprint for the
bank to meet its funding needs in a timely manner and at a
reasonable cost.
For day-to-day liquidity risk management, CFP ensures that the
bank is best prepared to respond to an unexpected problem. In
this sense, a CFP is an extension of ongoing liquidity management
and formalizes the objectives of liquidity management by
ensuring:

a)A reasonable amount of liquid assets is maintained;


b)Measurement and projection of funding requirements during
arious scenarios; and
c)Management of access to funding sources.

CFP also provides directions for plausible actions in distress and


emergency situations. In case of a sudden liquidity stress, it is
important for the bank to be seemed organized, can did, and
efficient to meet its obligations to the stakeholders. Since such a
situation requires a spontaneous action, CFP will put the bank in
better position to address the liquidity problem more efficiently
and effectively. CFP ensures that bank management and key
staffs are ready to respond to any distress situations.
e) Policies and processes for Managing the Liquidity risk of our bank attracts much more
mitigating liquidity risk attention of the regulators and supervisors to comply the
regulatory affairs issued by them time to time. The outcome of this
concern was well reflected in the activities of the Basel Committee
for Banking Supervision while formulating the Basel 2.5 and finally
in Basel III documents. Global Islami Bank PLC also formulating &
submitting Liquidity (LCR and NSFR) and leverage ratios those are
primarily meant to address the above risks. For this Bangladesh
Bank has already declared the Roadmap for the implementation
of Basel III in the banking sector and our bank is also following these
plans & roadmaps very strictly.

Maturity ladder of cash inflows and outflows are effective tool to


determine banks cash position. A maturity ladder estimates a
bank’s cash inflows and outflows and thus net deficit or surplus
(GAP) both on a day to day basis and over a series of specified
time periods. A bucket wise (e.g. call, 2-7 days, 1 month, 1-3
months,3-12 months, 1-5 years, over 5 years) maturity profile of the
assets and liabilities is prepared to understand mismatch in every
bucket. A structural maturity ladder or profile is prepared
periodically following guidelines of the Bangladesh Bank DOS
circular no. 02 dated 29 March 2011.

per guidelines.

The Board also ensure that it understands the nature of the leverage
ratio and periodically review related information to maintain this
understanding, establishes executive-level lines of authority and
responsibility for managing the bank’s leverage ratio.
b) Policies and Processes for As per Basel III regulation, Leverage Ratio is a non-risk based backstop
managing on and off limit, to supplement risk based capital adequacy. In order to avoid
Balance leverage building up excessive on and off-balance sheet leverage in the
banking system, a simple, transparent and non-risk based leverage
ratio has been introduced by Bangladesh Bank. The leverage ratio is
projected to achieve following two objectives;

i. Constraint the build-up of leverage in the banking sector for


broader financial systems and the economy as well.
ii. Reinforce the risk based requirements with and easy to understand
and a non-risk based measure.
c) Approach for calculating At its highest level, the leverage ratio can be summarized as a measure
exposure of capital as a proportion of total adjusted assets. More specifically, it
has been defined as the average of the monthly leverage ratio over
the quarter based on Tier 1 capital (the capital measure) and total
exposure (the exposure measure). The minimum ratio is currently
calibrated at 3%.
d) Leverage Ratio A minimum Tier-1 Leverage ratio of 3% has been prescribed by
Bangladesh Bank. The bank measures and maintains the leverage ratio
on quarterly basis. The status of leverage ratio is at end of each
calendar quarter submitted to Bangladesh Bank. The following formula
is used to calculate the leverage ratio:
Tier -1 Capital (after related deduction)
Leverage Ratio=

REPORT ON
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
1.0 INTRODUCTORY

GIB believes that Corporate Governance is a journey and not a destination and it needs to be continuously
developed, nurtured and adapted to meet the varying needs of a modern business house as well believes
in transparency and accountability to the society as a whole through establishment of an efficient and
effective Corporate Governance regime.

The vision, mission and strategy statement of the Bank approved by the Board of Directors is presented in the
“Company Ethos” section of this GIB Annual report. The said statements are also disclosed on the Bank’s

1.2 GOVERNANCE PRINCIPLES


Corporate governance is the system by which companies are directed and controlled. It involves a set of
relationships between a company's management, its board, its shareholders and other stakeholders; it deals
with prevention or mitigation of the conflict of interests of stakeholders. Ways of mitigating or preventing
these conflicts of interests include the processes, customs, policies, laws, and institutions which have impact
on the way a company is controlled. An important theme of corporate governance is the nature and extent
of accountability of people in the business, and mechanisms that try to decrease the principal-agent
problem.

ANNUAL
REPORT 2022
Corporate governance also includes the relationships among the many stakeholders involved and the goals
for which the corporation is governed. In contemporary business corporations, the main external stakeholder
groups are shareholders, debt holders, trade creditors, suppliers, customers and communities affected by the
corporation's activities. Internal stakeholders are the board of directors, executives, and other employees. It
guarantees that an enterprise is directed and controlled in a responsible, professional, and transparent
manner with the purpose of safeguarding its long-term success. It is intended to increase the confidence of
shareholders and capital-market investors. GIB is firmly convinced that a traditional banking model focused
on closer customer relationships and advisory services best serves its purpose, as such, its goals are based on
customers' needs & solutions and not merely a product.

GIB corporate governance policy for Directors, Management and employees has been formulated as per
the guidelines/ codes of regulators. With adherence to this policy, GIB aims to build trust and confidence
among stakeholders, thereby improve its competitiveness, enhance value and promote stability. The policies
are updated time to time in order to comply with the proper governance principles and relevant regulatory
requirements.

1.3 CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK


Corporate Governance is one of the most concentrated issues now-a-days. Bangladesh Bank and other
regulatory authorities are much concerned about the compliance with corporate governance issues. It
refers to the set of systems, principles and processes, by which a company is governed. It consists of
guidelines as to how the company can be directed or controlled such that it can fulfill its goals and
objectives in a manner that adds to the value of the company and is also beneficial for all stakeholders in
the long run. In this case, stakeholders would include everyone ranging from the board of directors,
management, shareholders to customers, employees, society and so on. The management of the company
hence assumes the role of a trustee for all the others.

Two major objectives of corporate governance can be:


• To mitigate conflicts of interest particularly among those stakeholders;
• To ensure effective use of assets of the company and in the best interests of its stakeholders.

GIB Corporate Governance framework has been developed and enhanced based on the basic principles
and best practices outlined in the following:

• Corporate Governance Code of BSEC;


• The Companies Act 1994 and other applicable regulations of Bangladesh;
• The Bank Companies Act, 1991 (Amended upto 2018);
• Dhaka and Chittagong Stock Exchanges Listing Regulations, 2015;
• Bangladesh Secretarial Standards (BSS) issued by ICSB;
• Other applicable Laws of the country;
• Standards of Business Conduct, Policies and Guidelines of the Bank;
• Statement of Risk Management Internal Control of the Bank;
• Statement of Delegated Authorities of the Bank; and
• Local and global best practices.

The Bank has always strived to maintain the highest standards of corporate governance and business
conduct so as to create and maintain sustainable shareholders' value, safeguard stakeholders interest and
maintain investors' trust and confidence. The Bank's corporate governance structure comprises of the
Shareholders, the Board, Bank Management, Regulatory Authorities, Independent External Auditors and the
Employees. The Bank, at the same time, expects acts of honesty and integrity from its Board of Directors,

ANNUAL
REPORT 2022
STATEMENT ON PROTECTION
OF MINORITY SHAREHOLDERS’ INTEREST

Securities regulator of the country, BSEC has issued the CG Code 2018 for the listed companies on comply
basis, to establish accountability, transparency as well as to protect minority shareholders interest and to
create a position for the investors where from, they can make informed investment decision.
The most important protection afforded to minority shareholders comes in the form of a statutory remedy in
section 233 of the Companies Act, 1994 of Bangladesh. In order to be eligible to file a petition under the
section, the minority shareholder(s) must hold a minimum of ten percent of the issued shares in the case of a
company having a share capital. The grounds on which such a petition may be filed by a minority
shareholder(s) must be that the affairs of the company are being conducted or the powers of the directors
are being exercised in a manner prejudicial to one or more of its shareholders or that the company is acting
or is likely to act in a manner which discriminated or is likely to discriminate the interest of any shareholder
vis-a-vis the minority shareholders.
The concept of prejudice is extremely wide thereby allowing the court ample scope to exercise its judicial
discretion in determining whether a particular conduct falls within the scope of this section. It protects not just
the rights of minority shareholders but also their legitimate expectations. A typical case arises where the
minority shareholder has invested in the company on the basis of an informal understanding (not reflected in
the Articles of the company) that all shareholders will participate in the management of the company
through their board positions.
In order to truly unlock the potential of this statutory remedy, certain reforms are imperative. To name one,
the minimum shareholding requirement of 10% should be done away with to ensure that access to the
statutory remedy is not outright denied to minority shareholders and public shareholders of listed companies
holding less than the required minimum.
Despite the availability of this statutory remedy to minority shareholders of companies, a growing trend of
minority shareholders is to try to protect themselves by non-litigious means like shareholder’s agreements,
specially drafted articles of association (containing, among others, class rights and weighted voting rights)
or a combination of these approaches in closely held companies in which they have invested. Moreover, in
the event of liquidation, the equity shareholders are entitled to receive remaining assets of the Company
after distribution of all liabilities, in the proportion of their shareholdings.
By practicing good corporate culture, GIB has been upholding the interest of its shareholders since its
inception. Being a complied bank GIB comply all the rules and regulations of the country and thus protect
the interest of minority shareholders as well as all the shareholders. Besides, GIB provide the information flow
towards the minority shareholders and keep them updated through various means. Thus, the interests of all
the shareholders including the minority shareholders are protected.

NATIONAL INTEGRITY STRATEGY
NATIONAL INTEGRITY STRATEGY (NIS)

Integrity means doing the right thing in a reliable way. It's a personality trait that we admire, since it means a
person has a moral opinion that doesn't fluctuate. It literally means having ‘‘wholeness" of character’’.

NIS is a comprehensive set of goals, strategies and action plans aimed at increasing the level of indepen-
dence to perform accountability, efficiency, transparency and effectiveness of public and private institu-
tions in a sustained manner over a period of time.

Government of Bangladesh formulated its National Integrity Strategy (NIS) as a comprehensive good gover-
nance strategy to prevent corruption and improve national integrity in all sphere of life. The overall purpose
of a National Integrity Strategy (NIS) is to provide a system of governance that creates trust among citizens.
Integrity means behavioral excellence influenced by morality and honesty and adherence to time tested
norms, values, customs and principles of a society. At the individual level, it means being dutiful and honest.

National Integrity Strategy (NIS) is a living document of Bangladesh Government with the hope that this NIS
will play its desired role in building Bangladesh a self-sufficient “Shonar Bangla.” The success of the NIS
requires continuous political will, and the people and institutions must challenge the political leadership to
that end. Bangladesh Government approved the National Integrity Strategy (NIS) in October 2012 and has
undertaken programs through to establish a system of governance that creates trust among citizens. For this
reason, the strategy targets a broad audience like Government Organizations, Non-Government Organiza-
tions (NGO), private organizations and Autonomous bodies/ Organizations with the vision to build this country
a “Shonar Bangla” where the mission is to establish good governance in the state institutions and society.

In facilitating application of the NIS, the government wishes to engage not only the state institutions such as
Executive Organ and Public Administration, Parliament, Judiciary, Election Commission, Attorney-General,
Public Service Commission, Comptroller and Auditor General, Regulator, Anti-Corruption Commission, Local
Government Organizations but also the non-government Institutions including financial Institutes, political
parties, Industrial and Commercial Organizations in the private Sector, NGOs and civil Society, Family, Educa-
tional Institutions, Media. Furthermore, Government and Non-Government educational and religious institu-
tions will also be key players of NIS.

NIS VISION AND MISSION

The government’s vision for the country, as contained in the NIS is ‘A Bangladesh free from corruption.’ To
that end, the Government is committed to implement the NIS to achieve the Mission that ‘People and institu-
tions embrace values and principles of integrity, and increasingly practice them as part of their individual
and institutional activities.’

CHALLENGES OF NIS

• To promulgate Civil Service Act;


• To increase functional freedom in both public and private sectors with stronger accountability;
• To enhance efficiency and effectiveness in administrative activities;
• To establish links between promotion, transfer, pay and emoluments with appraised performance;
• To introduce of competitive pay and incentive structure;
• To ensure equitable opportunities for different cadre services;
• To implement a friendly relation with both citizens and law enforcing agencies.
• Fair, neutral and visible decision to make capability in both public and private administrations.

ANNUAL
REPORT 2022
NIS AND PRIVATE SECTOR

The private sector is playing an increasingly important role in the socio-economic progress of the country and
contributing to wealth creation and value addition to meet the demand of the population. Thus, integrity of
this sector is of paramount importance. The culture of investment default needs to be eliminated. Besides
that, ‘Protection of Consumer Rights Act’ has to be implemented properly. The main challenges in this regard
are:

• Addressing the investment (loan) default problem;


• Promotion of corporate governance;
• Awarding performance-based fair salary and wages to the employees;
• Proper enforcement of the law on consumer rights;
• Prevention of collusive practices in business by enforcing law of land;
• Promotion of culture of self-control by chambers and Association.

To support the total activities of the Government of Bangladesh in establishing NIS, Bangladesh Bank has
formed a National Integrity Implementation Cell and under which all banks and FIs came together to
implement the NIS within every financial institution.

NIS AND GIB

Accordingly, Global Islami Bank PLC has formed an Ethics Committee of National Integrity Strategy consisting
of 12 (twelve) members headed by Mr. Md. Golam Sarwar, Additional Managing Director & Honorable
Chairman of the Committee. Mr. Sami Karim, Deputy Managing Director is the Focal Point.

• Global Islami Bank PLC submits the quarterly report in timely manner;
• Each quarter meetings are held in time and minutes & relevant documents are submitted to Bangladesh
Bank;
• Each quarter a rhyme from the book of ‘Chorai Chorai Shudhdhachar’ is published in a daily newspaper
& bank website for creating awareness on integrity among the general public;
• As per the implementation process of Integrity Strategy in the Global Islami Bank, topic on integrity/ethics
has already been included in training curriculum;
• The Code of Conduct for Global Islami Bank has been formulated on December 31, 2017;
• Introduced effective measures for combating money laundering and the financing of terrorism;
• Ensured transparency in all activities of the Company.

GIB awarded a certificate, a crest & one month’s basic salary as a prize of NIS in various categories to 4 (Four)
Executives & 1 (One) Support Staff for the fiscal year 2021-2022.

CONCLUSION

The NIS is based upon a belief that all the institutions required for good governance already exist in
Bangladesh. By identifying a common goal for all relevant institutions to pursue the NIS will integrate the
different pillars of society, and infuse integrity back into Bangladeshi society. Accordingly, by sowing integrity
awareness in individual level, our bank aims to grow a banyan tree of ethical greatness to promote
institution’s reputation as well as to perform social responsibility.

INTERNAL CONTROL AND COMPLIANCE
The control environment reflects the overall attitude, awareness and actions of the board and management
concerning the importance of internal control. It is the framework under which internal controls are devel-
oped, implemented and monitored. It consists of the mechanisms and arrangements that ensure reporting
of internal and external risks to which the bank is exposed to. Control environment factors include integrity,
ethical values and competence of the employees, management’s philosophy and operating style, the way
management assigns authority and responsibility and how it organizes and develops its human resources in
term of the changes in technology as well as new products and regulations.

In GIB

Internal Control & Compliance Division (ICCD) of GIB is committed to consistently meeting organizational
goals for operational effectiveness and efficiency, accurate reporting, and compliance with laws, regula-
tions and policies. Internal control system is comprised of all of the financial, operational and other control
systems which are used across all areas within the Bank. Generally, employees at the department-level are
primarily responsible for internal control in their departments and hence, participation of every individual is
vital. Prime responsibilities of ICCD are to ensure monitoring, follow-up, independent evaluation and timely
reporting to management levels systematically in order to ensure that all the bank activities are performed in
accordance with applicable policies, methods, instructions and limits.

ICCD monitors, examines and reviews the control activities of the various departments of the Bank on an
on-going basis to assess the effectiveness of the controls and recommend corrective actions where required.
Internal control facilitates effectiveness and efficiency of operations, reduces the risk of asset loss, and helps
to ensure compliance with laws and regulations.

Preventive control measures are prioritized and are designed to deter the occurrence of an undesirable
event. Detective controls are designed to identify operational weaknesses and help taking corrective
actions. Control activities normally cover all key areas of the Bank and address items such as organizational
structures, committee compositions and authority levels, officer approval levels, access controls (physical
and electronic), audit programs, monitoring procedures, remedial actions, and reporting mechanisms. These
control measures help Bank to identify potential risk issues before exposing wide open to it.

Despite of tireless effort, ICCD can provide only reasonable assurance - not absolute assurance regarding
the achievement of objectives. Collective effort of the Bank can corroborate compliance culture, drive
toward its objectives and the achievement of its mission, and minimizes surprises along the way.

As per the ‘Guidelines on Internal Control & Compliance in Banks’ issued by Bangladesh Bank vide BRPD
Circular No. 06 dated 04 September 2016, the Head of ICCD is reporting to the Managing Director & CEO.
However, the Head of Audit & Inspection, despite being a part of ICCD, is reporting directly to and is responsi-
ble to the Audit Committee of the Board.

activities, the Internal Control & Compliance Division is responsible for continuous independent identification
and assessment of the risk areas, verification of control measures to manage risks and recommending
corrective measures, where relevant. These can be achieved by auditing the risk management functions to
ensure that all units responsible for managing risk are performing their roles effectively and continuously.

The results of each audit are reported to the Audit Committee of the Board (ACB) and Board of Directors;
and their resolution action plans and progress are closely monitored. Significant findings, together with the
status of rectification, are then discussed in the Audit Committee of the Board (ACB) meetings and the
minutes are formally tabled to the Board of Directors. In addition, the Head of Internal Audit & Inspection also
reports significant findings and other control concerns to the Head of ICCD regularly.

With a focus on risk selection specialty, attentive behavior, efficient vigilance and holistic ownership, Invest-
ment Administration seeks to foster a culture that is conscious of risks. To this end, it routinely checks and
assesses Investment risk models, the bank's propensity for forecasting, the granularity of risk, adherence to
rules and regulations, and other relevant elements. GIB classify internal and external risks in each firm and
analyze ratings using the most recent financial and other pertinent information in order to take corrective
and mitigation actions as necessary. Investment Administration increased vigilance on clients/accounts that

CMSME
Bangladesh has a large number of cottage, micro, small and medium (CMSME) enterprises where a total
5.02 million people are engaged directly while 31.2 million lives are connected indirectly. Around 90% of
private sector business belongs to CMSME sector. Moreover, 70% to 80% of non-agricultural work force are
employed in CMSME sector. Experts opine that growth of SME’s can bring real change in Bangladesh by
making the economy more vibrant as there is a huge available manpower suitable for employment in SME
sector.

Yet unfortunately, the potential of SMEs has not been fully utilized in the country. In this context, Bangladesh
Bank has already instructed that by the year 2024 up to 25% of the Net outstanding of investment of a bank,
should be in CMSME sector. Though banking sector lending to CMSMEs tripled from 2010 to 2016, there still
appears to be a sizable gap for this segment.

A variety of SME products have been developed by GIB for the small and medium business segments in
accordance with the Prudential Guidelines on SME Financing of the Bangladesh Bank. For its SME clients, GIB
provides both revolving and term investment solutions. With the varied solutions created for this goal, GIB
correctly addresses small business owners, agricultural client, and female business owners.

Accordingly, CMSME investment activities to enhance as per the directives of Bangladesh Bank, Global
Islami Bank PLC. apart other products has already launched Investment product namely “Bai-Muajjal
Uddom” targeting cottage, micro and small sized trading, manufacturing and service oriented business
concerns and “Bai-Muajjal Nandini” for women entrepreneurs under cottage, micro and small sectors. Differ-
ent Refinance schemes, Credit Guarantee Schemes and different policy supports are also introduced from
Bangladesh Bank which are being amplified in different CMSME investments. Global Islami Bank PLC. has
been trying to diversify SME investment portfolio in Manufacturing and Service sectors through 99 branches,
122 sub-branches and 12 agent banking outlets.

The absence of a financial safety net, the difficulty of reaching the country's hinterlands, and the lack of
official credit records or data that would show borrower histories are a few of the industry's persistent
challenges. However, that's where we step in to transform these challenges into genuine business opportuni-
ties. We believe that in the future, our highly specialized employees, technologically advanced business
methods, and strong client connections will be essential elements in enabling us to prosper in this difficult and
fiercely competitive market. The SME industry has special difficulties, and Global Islami Bank has always
demonstrated its sensitivity to these problems. We still support the travels of our consumers.

OUR STRENGTHS
● Leadership with decades of microfinance expertise
● to extend appropriate and time befitting support to vulnerable business community
● Well-equipped network across the country.
● Periodical review of data regarding CMSME financing
● Continuous effort to expand financing to untapped CMSME sector.
● Tranquil Processing procedure of CMSME investment.

REVIEW OF GIB CMSME INVESTMENT GROWTH

The GIB CMSME division started operating on the first day of the bank's inauguration with the intention of
providing alternatives to CMSME customers across the country within the constraints of Bangladesh Bank's
prudential standards for CMSME financing. GIB has launched a comprehensive program to increase invest-

ing investment administration, monitoring, recovery, approval, site visits, and document collation, are being
worked on by a team of dedicated employees. As a result, during the past few years, the Bank's CMSME

ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING
Money Laundering (ML) and Terrorist Financing (TF) have been topics of huge concern to the world, not only
as serious and highly sophisticated forms of crime but also as threats to human rights, democracy, the rule of
law, and finally for, macroeconomics. The flow of illicit financing can have devastating effects on the
financial system, eroding public trust and propagating illegal activities within criminal organizations. In
addition, AML/CFT regimes must find out how much they comply with international standards set by the FATF
and other International standard setters, including regional bodies (i.e. APG) and relevant groups.

To measure the degree of compliance, AML/CFT regimes should focus on the AML/CFT standard/framework.
As an emerging economy like Bangladesh, we cannot afford to have our country's image tarnished because
of money laundering and terrorist financing issues. Since banks are highly vulnerable to being used by money
launderers and terrorist financiers to conceal and legitimize ill-gotten gains, we must be vigilant and guard
the integrity of our financial system for financial and social stability. In this context, Bangladesh Bank (the
central bank of Bangladesh) has established sufficient regulations for combating AML/CFT in Bangladesh.
The Bangladesh Financial Intelligence Unit (BFIU) has issued several policies, circulars and guidelines
concerning the prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing to cope with the emerging
typologies and challenges commensurate with standards/frameworks and relevant Acts.

Global Islami Bank amended its very own Anti-Money Laundering Policy 2022 in adherence with the Money
Laundering Prevention Act 2012 (Amendment 2015), Anti-Terrorism Act 2009 (Amendment 2013), BFIU
Circular Master Circular 26 (June 16, 2020), the Money Laundering Prevention Rules, 2019 and Guidance

Moreover, Money laundering diminishes government tax revenue, making government tax collection
activities more difficult. So we all experience higher costs of living expenditure than the usual socioeconomic
condition of every stratum of life.

Financial institutions prone to money laundering activities should have anti-money laundering compliance
strategies from a top-down approach. Considering this, GIB took the initiative to formulate AML/CFT
compliance strategies that are well-defined and robust for tackling AML/CFT issues prudently.

Post Covid-19 first CAMLCO conference 2022 was held at Cox’s Bazar, Chattogram, under the arrangement
of BFIU in collaboration with ACCOBB. The conference’s theme was, Digital Transformation of Financial
Service Challenges and Opportunities. Motivated by the conference’s ideology, our management endorsed
to implement different technologically Transaction Monitoring Tools (TMT) for figuring out unusual
transactions/pattern of the bank’s customers. Moreover, GIB introduced e-KYC based platform (assisted
model) for individual customer onboarding processes across our Branches. By now, GIB familiar with what is
the role of technology in anti-money laundering/combat of terrorist financing compliance and how it can
make a difference in enhanced efficiency, accuracy, and productivity.

However, complying with all techno-driven methods might not be easy at first because it incorporates a lot
of tedious paperwork and asks for undivided attention to understand the gist and make all of the staff aware
of the same most effectively and efficiently. In addition to that, these strategies are updated at regular
intervals, where the need and importance of technological aid come into the picture.

To combat Trade Based Money Laundering through Banking channel; our Global Islami Bank took a robust
initiative by circulating a TBML (Trade-Based Money Launder) guideline in line with BFIU (Bangladesh Financial
Intelligence Unit) instruction in 2020. In connection with this; our bank developed a database and practiced
to preserve prices of commodities/services/products during Foreign Trade whether it is import or export to
curb under/over invoicing practice by fraudsters which is the most common typology of Money Laundering
across the world. Before establishment of relationship; we used to respond for any correspondent relationship
proposal from/to other banks after checking firstly whether it is Shell Bank then scrutinizing the bank’s
Wolfsberg Questionnaire set, a widely used and accepted tool for correspondent relationship procedure.

MARKETING AND DEVELOPMENT

Business
Marketing
Development

Marketing and Development Division at Global Islami Bank is actively working to reach out to prospects,
customers, investors, and the community while creating a positive image of the bank. By designing attractive
marketing materials that align with Islami Shari’ah principles, the division can effectively communicate the
benefits of the bank's products and services to customers.

In addition, the division played a key role in executing the conversion of the bank to a fully Shari’ah-based
Islami banking system. This demonstrates the division's commitment to the bank's overall mission and values,
and their ability to adapt to changing circumstances and requirements.

GIB has undertaken a strategy to establish relationships with various corporate organizations in order to
promote its brand and open up potential banking opportunities with these organizations in the future. As part
of this strategy, GIB has partnered with several organizations, such as REB, DPDC, Dhaka WASA, Chattogram
WASA, TITAS Gas, DESCO, NESCO, and West Zone Power Distribution Company Limited to provide bill collec-
tion services through its branches and sub-branches.

This approach of partnering with other organizations is commonly known as a "strategic alliance" or "partner-
ship" in business. By partnering with other businesses, GIB can leverage their existing customer base and
brand reputation to promote its own services and products. Additionally, by offering bill collection services
for these organizations, GIB can directly reach its target customers of other organizations and potentially gain
new customers through these partnerships. Overall, this seems to be a smart strategy for GIB to expand its
business and build relationships with other organizations in the industry.

Basically, marketing is a critical component of the division's responsibilities, as it is responsible for creating
awareness of the bank's products and services through various channels, such as advertising, public
relations, social media, and email marketing. The division's role is to ensure that the bank's message is clear
and consistent across all channels and that it resonates with the target audience.

In addition to marketing, the development aspect of the division's role involves identifying new business
opportunities and developing strategies to increase revenue and profits. This may include developing new
products and services or identifying new markets for existing products.

the major activities of the division. This may involve creating advertising campaigns, direct mail

MANAGING DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE
ON SUSTAINABILITY
Banking systematization has undergone a massive transformation from its traditional mode of operation to a
completely new strategic dimension known as “Sustainable Banking”, which entails incorporating
environmental, social, and governance criteria into businesses or investment decisions for the long-term
benefit of both clients and society. And Islami Banking is a welfare and sustainable Banking System. In its 10
years of existence of the Bank, our guiding philosophy has been set to be “Banking with Faith” with emphasis
on strictly following Islamic principles and ensuring Shariah compliance in every aspect of banking activities

At GIB, sustainability implicates more than merely operating ethically and as per the regulatory mandates of
the government. It necessitates making a beneficial and long-term impact on the surrounding community as
well as on all Stakeholders. GIB has been working to develop Bangladesh's financial ecosystem for over a
decade and is closely interconnected to the country's growth story.

GIB has been creating diversified opportunities and providing possibilities for individuals and businesses since
its founding as a scheduled Private Commercial Bank in 2013, as well as contributing to the long-term
sustainability of the society in which it operates. As part of our corporate social duty and as a platform for
achieving economic sustainability, we want to support ethical businesses that benefit people and society.
Customers' preferences are changing rapidly as a result of technological advancements, for example, the
adoption of smartphones and digital platforms.

Banking success is a function of offering great value to customers by contributing to societal progress. While
commercial success is a function of delivering superior value to consumers through societal advancement.
We concreate this aim and emphasize areas of success ensuring this balanced approach. Customer
satisfaction, digital advancement, product innovation, staff involvement, and financial performance are all
part of these goals. GIB largely contributes to Women Entrepreneurs and Student Banking by implementing
various strategies on education, gender equality, health and social issues, and providing low-cost investment
products. Again as one of the leading Islami Shari’ah based Commercial Banks, Global Islami Bank PLC is
continuously funding projects that are eco-friendly and have desire to become energy efficient. We have
integrated Environment and Social Risk Management System to analyze the environmental and social risks of
projects and promote financing for renewable energy and projects to support the fight against climate
change.

At GIB, we wish to be profitable as well as sustainable. This way we can ensure prosperous business
development and helping more people day by day. We will continue to work unendingly to make GIB one
of the best Islami Shari’ah based Commercial Bank for our employees, customers, shareholders and
communities.

We have taken the year 2022 as a challenge. We believe that our customer service with existing and new
products and the support of our IT investment, branch, sub-branch, agent banking, ATM, CRM, efficient and
productive management of resources, better risk management and corporate governance will bring
sustainable growth with improved asset quality that will maximize value for all the stakeholders in the coming
years. Global Islami Bank PLC emphasizes on employment generation and environment friendly green
banking for equitable distribution of resources over geographical territory for sustainable growth of macro
economy of the country. At the same time, the bank’s mission of achieving the economic wellbeing of, all
through greater financial inclusion imbibed with the spirit of Shariah will remain the first priority for “Banking
with Faith”.

I am going to conclude by conveying my heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to all of our valuable
stakeholders for their enthusiastic and vibrant engagement towards the attainment of Global Islami Bank’s
vision of establishing a sustainable future for Bangladesh.

REPORTING
A sustainable society is built through eradicating poverty, safeguarding environment and generating a
resilient society. Banks are nothing more than a serious supporter of bolstering this policy, which is commonly
seen as a fundamental idea for commercial organizations to concentrate on as part of continuity. It is
difficult for banks to start their persistent journey towards sustainability at this most trying period. Continuous
growth, health advancements, and reaching universal economic prosperity must all be balanced. Global
Islami Bank has embraced sustainability as part of its core competencies. Since 2021, GIB has been adhering
significantly to a sustainability strategy that complies with Islam's religion in the form of Shari'ah principles and
is ethnically suited for integrating into the sphere of Islami Finance so that the stakeholders can conduct
banking with faith.

GIB SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY

Our philosophy at GIB is that any growth should meet the demands of the current generation without com-
promising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In all of our commercial interactions and
decision-making, we promise to uphold the strict observance of moral, social, and environmental norms.
developing a culture of sustainable entrepreneurship in particular communities, such as women, young
people, and underprivileged groups, as well as taking into mind that legislation and practices supporting
sustainable firms can vary throughout countries with various degrees of growth. Global Islami Bank has consis-
tently promoted green initiatives as the greatest investment vehicle in order to preserve socioeconomic
growth. By increasing Branch networking across the country, the Bank continues to be successful in offering
financial services to the unbanked population. We have always backed investment initiatives that are
ecologically conscious in order to maintain socioeconomic prosperity. Green initiatives in particular have
traditionally been recognized as the best investment potential.

Risk reduction and investment analysis have always been prioritized by Global Islami Bank as a continuous
process that eventually ensures sustainability. By recognizing and institutionalizing best practices in the
fields of investment quality analysis and fund allocation, Global Islami Bank has been leading the way in
the field of investment risk management. So, the most challenging role for investment experts is assessment
of investments. His or her goal is to recognize and minimize any potential risks related to the investment in
order to ensure a return.

From a strategic perspective, Global Islami Bank has prioritized promoting financial inclusion to combat
poverty, which the bank strongly believes can be achieved through its deposit services, investment
programs in agriculture, funding of CMSMEs, and foreign remittance of poor migrant workers by collabo-
rating with MFIs The Bank thrived to provide banking services to the unbanked population by expanding

SUSTAINABILITY IN GIB

A conceivable way to build a resilient society, eradicate poverty, and safeguard the environment is through
sustainable development. This is a reflection of both the changing business environment for the private sector
and a growing desire for more social and environmental responsibility. GIB has incorporated sustainability
into its daily operations and is working to improve its operations' environmental and social performance, or
what is known as our "corporate footprint." At GIB, we think that any expansion should satisfy the needs of the
present generation without impairing the capacity of future generations to satisfy their own needs. When
conducting business and making business decisions, we are committed to ensuring that ethical, social, and
environmental standards are strictly upheld.

Monitoring and reporting on our performance against sustainability KPI’s is an important part of our sustain-
ability journey. Sustainability progress of the Bank is monitored on a quarterly basis and reported to the
Central Bank that started during the year.

a. Our Financial Inclusion Activities: As one of the fourth generation Islami Banks, GIB strives to promote
financial inclusion by understanding the needs of various segments of the society that currently confronts
difficulties accessing financial services. The Bank offers a wide range of accounts, investments and cards
to its customers as well as individuals from a young age onwards. Playing a major role in enhancing finan-
cial inclusion in the country, the network of Branches, Sub-Branches, ATMs and Agent Banking Outlets
expanded. GIB also provides special call center service 24/7 to listen to its customers, in addition to
GoFAST internet banking. We ensure our connective approach through our social media page and our
progress from time to time and expansions of our footprint throughout the country.

b. GIB activities in terms of Gender Equality: At GIB, we believe that diversity in the workplace is essential for
any successful organization. A diverse workforce not only helps build a better society but it also enables
and encourages the exchange of viewpoints and ideas that lead to innovation. This, in turn, has a
positive impact on every aspect of the company. We continue to work towards improving Gender diver-
sity at GIB by attracting and developing female talent, to reap the benefits of a diverse workforce. We
still have much to do on this front but having a workforce composed of a standard and well defined
portion of women employees is a good indication that we are on the right path.

c. Our Community Partnering and Social Awareness: Community partnerships are an essential part of our
vision to play a sustainable role in society. We are proud of our partnership with a number of local NGOs,
Private Organizations which had a positive impact on our communities. Such as:
● We arranged Dental and medical check-up with Dental Pixel at Head office, free Medical checkup
on the occasion of World Diabetic Day.

of communities and environmental growth.

STAKEHOLDERS ENGAGEMENT

At GIB, we are committed to engaging with our stakeholders on a frequent basis in order to better under-

We map our Stakeholders' needs on a regular basis to capture our methods of engagement, highlight priority
concerns for both the Bank and the Stakeholders, and follow our planned responses to these issues in order
to better understand their expectations.

While the goal of decent work is universal, our Bank is obliged to render situation-specific practical support
and useful resources to governments and social partners, taking into consideration that policies and practic-
es in support of sustainable enterprises can differ between countries with heterogeneous levels of growth,
established workplace norms as well as fostering a culture of sustainable entrepreneurship in specific com-

GIB MATERIAL ASPECTS AND BOUNDARIES
FOR SUSTAINABILITY
Banks are attempting to adopt new tactics meant to direct financing into sustainable economic activity in
response to pressure from customers and authorities. However, the process has been difficult and
inconsistent. Initially GIB had trouble seeing opportunities due to a lack of consensus on fundamental
concepts and a dearth of pertinent data. The process has also been delayed down by operational
problems, such as the failure to incorporate sustainability criteria into credit risk analysis procedures, unclear
targets, and inadequate monitoring. Future work will be required to make the objectives of sustainable
finance a reality. The shift to sustainable finance is plagued by issues that go beyond the institutional level.
Market-level definitional and data issues are seriously impeding our capacity to spot opportunities and
gauge our progress.

These are some basic challenges or boundaries or we may call limitations for obtaining sustainability from the
perspective of Banks:

• Responding to evolving climate risks


• Grappling with response challenges
• Exploring opportunities in green finance
• Articulating and operationalizing sustainability approaches
• Efforts increase to link sustainability to corporate purpose
• Determining institutional exposure is difficult
• The green finance market is still maturing

Due to the social considerations, ESG issues, particularly climate change risk have become even more urgent
and have moved to the top of GIB's priorities. Stakeholder demands for action are becoming more urgent,

programs to corporate mission statements. Now, GIB is developing a comprehensive long-term plan and will

work efficiently with the business community for safeguarding betterment of the community and nation as a
whole. For a truly green portfolio, we are broadening our business by launching diversified activities of
introducing innovative products in the model of Bangladeshi infrastructure. Although we have only recently
initiated our green journey, we are certain that a collaborative effort between the bank and stakeholders will
make a significant contribution to addressing climate concerns and smoothing the route to sustainability in
the coming years.

Our Green Banking Policy Guidelines and Green Office Guide have been circulated to all our employees for
creating awareness on Green Banking activities & providing instructions about conserving energy, water,
saving paper, etc. Our Green Strategic Plan is enhanced to define our strategy in the coming years. GIB
developed its own Environmental Policies, which proves our commitment to the Environment for a
sustainable future. As a Bank we play an intermediary role between economic development and
conservation of the environment. Our Green Banking activities are on multidimensional areas which include

DISASTER MANAGEMENT

It is commendable that GIB recognizes the importance of corporate social responsibility and its responsibility
to the society in which it operates, particularly during times of crisis such as the COVID-19 pandemic and
natural disasters.

In the face of such challenges, banks can play a vital role in supporting communities and individuals affect-
ed by such crises including providing financial assistance and donations to relief efforts, supporting emergen-
cy response efforts, providing access to banking services during crises, and supporting community rebuilding
efforts.

Furthermore, it is essential for businesses to go beyond their regular operations and take into account the
needs, values, and goals of the society in which they operate. This can include supporting initiatives to allevi-
ate poverty, and address other social and environmental issues. By doing so, businesses can help create a
more sustainable and equitable future for all. Here are some GIB’s supports for the disaster management

Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all of the information
in the annual report other than the statements and our auditors’ report thereon. The annual report is

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any
form of assurance conclusion thereon.

ANNUAL
REPORT 2022
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information
identified above when it becomes available and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is
materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise
appears to be materially misstated.

When we read the annual report, if we conclude that there is a material misstatement therein, we are
required to communicate the matter to those charged with governance.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
and Internal Controls
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements of the Bank
in accordance with IFRSs as explained in note 2, and for such internal control as management determines is
necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error. The Bank Company Act, 1991 and the Bangladesh Bank Regulations require
the Management to ensure effective internal audit, internal control and risk management functions of the
Bank. The Management is also required to make a self-assessment on the effectiveness of anti-fraud internal
controls and report to Bangladesh Bank on instances of fraud and forgeries.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Bank’s ability to continue
as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going
concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Bank or to cease operations,
or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Bank’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements


Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes
our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit
conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements
can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could
reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial
statements

As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional
scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud
or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that
is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material
misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one

iv

ANNUAL
REPORT 2022 379
resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or
the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures
that are appropriate in the circumstances.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting
and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or
conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we
conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to
the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s
report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Bank to cease to continue as a going
concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the
disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a
manner that achieves fair presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or
business activities within the bank to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible
for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit
opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned
scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal
control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant
ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other
matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related
safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that
were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the
key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not
be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be
expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

profit or loss and changes in the fair value of shares and securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
is recognised in the other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

ANNUAL
REPORT 2022
Bangladesh Bank
As per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 25 June 2003, investments in shares and securities are classified under held to
maturity (HTM) or held for trading (HFT) “and measured at cost. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to
the acquisition added to the initial fair value except for financial assets classified as HFT where they should be
recognised in profit or loss.

After initial recognition, HFT govt. securities are measured according to DOS circular no. 05 dated 26 May 2008 and
DOS circular no. 05 dated 28 January 2009, where amortization loss is charged to profit and loss account,
mark-to-market loss on revaluation is charged to profit and loss account, but any unrealized gain on such
revaluation is recognized in revaluation reserve account. HTM govt. securities are measured at amortized cost and
increase/decrease related to amortization is recognized in equity.

As per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 25 June 2003 and DOS circular No.4 dated 24 November 2011, investments in
quoted and unquoted shares are revalued at the year-end at market price and at Book Value of last audited
balance sheet respectively. As such, provision is made against the diminution in value of investments considering
netting off gain /loss. Investment in mutual fund (open-end) is revalued at lower of cost and higher of (market value
and 95% of NAV) as per instruction of DOS circular no. 03 dated 12 March 2015 closed end mutual fund is revalued
at lower of cost and higher of (market value and 85% of NAV) as per DOS circular no. 10 dated 28 June 2015. As
such, provision is made for any loss arising from diminution in value of investments (portfolio basis); otherwise
investments are recognized at costs.

VI Revaluation gains/losses on Government securities

IFRS
As per requirement of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments: where securities will fall under the category of fair value through
profit or loss account and any change in fair value of the asset is recognized through profit or loss account. Held for
Trading (HFT), any change in the fair value of held for trading assets is recognized through profit and loss account.
Securities designated as amortized cost are measured at effective interest rate method and investment income is
recognized through the profit and loss account."

Bangladesh Bank
As per IFRS 9 an entity shall recognise an impairment allowance on loans and advances based on expected credit
losses. At each reporting date, an entity shall measure the impairment allowance for loans and advances at an
amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on these loans and advances has increased
significantly since initial recognition. For those loans and advances for which the credit risk has not increased
significantly since initial recognition, an entity shall measure the impairment allowance at an amount equal to 12
month expected credit losses.

VII. Provision for investments

IFRS
As per IFRS 9 an entity shall recognise an impairment allowance on investment, loans and advances based on
expected credit losses. At each reporting date, an entity shall measure the impairment allowance for investment,
loans and advances at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on these investment,
loans and advances has increased significantly since initial recognition. For those loans and advances for which
the credit risk has not increased significantly since initial recognition, an entity shall measure the impairment
allowance at an amount equal to 12 month expected credit losses.

Bangladesh Bank
As per BRPD circular No.14 dated 23 September 2012, BRPD circular No. 19 dated 27 December 2012, BRPD circular
No. 05 dated 29 May 2013, BRPD circular No. 16 dated 18 November 2014 and a BRPD Circular No.01 dated 20

(except short-term agricultural and micro-credits where 1% for all unclassified investment (irregular & regular) 5% for
sub-standard and doubtful investments and 100% for bad & loss investments) depending on the duration of
overdue.

VIII. Provision for Off-balance sheet items

IFRS
As per IFRS 9 an entity shall recognise an impairment allowance on investments (loan) based on expected credit
losses. At each reporting date, an entity shall measure the impairment allowance for investment (loan) at an
amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses if the credit risk on these investments has increased significantly
since initial recognition whether assessed on an individual or collective basis considering all reasonable
information, including that which is forward-looking. For those investments (loans) for which the credit risk has not
increased significantly since initial recognition, at each reporting date, an entity shall measure the impairment
allowance at an amount equal to 12 month expected credit losses that may result from default events on
investments that are possible within 12 months after reporting date.

ANNUAL
REPORT 2022 391
Bangladesh Bank
As per BRPD circular No.14 (23 September 2012), BRPD circular No. 19 (27 December 2012), BRPD circular No. 05 (29
May 2013), BRPD circular No. 16 (18 November 2014), BRPD Circular No. 15 (27 September 2017), BRPD Circular No.
01 (20 February 2018), BRPD Circular No. 03 (21 April 2019) and BRPD Circular No. 07 (19 March 2020) a general
provision at 0.25% to 5% under different categories of unclassified loans (good/standard loans) has to be
maintained regardless of objective evidence of impairment. Also provision for sub-standard loans, doubtful loans
and bad losses has to be provided at 20%, 50% and 100% respectively except (a) short-term agricultural and

sheet exposures except LC issued against Fast Track Electricity Project & Bills for Collection according to BRPD
circular letter no. 01 dated 03 January 2018 & BRPD circular no. 07 dated 21 June 2018 respectively. Such provision
policies are not specifically in line with those prescribed by IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments”.

IX. Recognition of investment income in suspense

IFRS
Investment to customers (loans and receivables) are generally classified at amortized cost as per IFRS 9 ""Financial
Instruments"" and investment income is recognised by using the effective interest rate method over the term of the
investment. Once an investment is impaired, the entity shall apply the effective interest rate to the amortised cost
of these investments.

Bangladesh Bank
As per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 23 September 2012, once an investment is classified, investment income on such
investment are not allowed to be recognised as income, rather the corresponding amount needs to be credited
to an investment income in suspense account, which is presented as liability in the balance sheet.

X. Financial instruments – presentation and disclosure

In several cases Bangladesh Bank guidelines categories, recognise, measure and present financial instruments
differently from those prescribed in IFRS 9. As such full disclosure and presentation requirements of IFRS 7 and IAS 32
cannot be made in the financial statements.

XI. Financial guarantees

IFRS
As per IFRS 9, financial guarantees are contracts that require the issuer to make specified payments to reimburse
the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in accordance with the
original or modified terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee liabilities are recognised initially at their fair
value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the issue of the financial liabilities. The financial
guarantee liability is subsequently measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance for expected credit
losses as per impairment requirement and the amount initially recognised less, income recognised in accordance
with the principles of IFRS 15. Financial guarantees are included within other liabilities.

Bangladesh Bank
As per BRPD 14 dated 25 June 2003 and BRPD 15 dated 09 November 2009, financial guarantees such as letter of
credit, letter of guarantee will be treated as off-balance sheet items.

XII. Balance with Bangladesh Bank: (Cash Reserve Requirement)

IFRS

2.1.2 Measurement of elements in the financial statements
Measurement is the process of determining the monetary amounts at which the elements of the financial statements are to be
recognized and carried in the financial statements. The measurement basis adopted by the Bank is historical cost except for
land, building and few of the financial assets which are stated in accordance with the policies mentioned in the respective
notes.
2.1.3 Use of estimates and judgments
The preparation of financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the
application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses, and disclosure
requirements for contingent assets and liabilities during and at the date of the financial statements.
Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Revisions of accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future periods
affected.
Information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have
the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements include depreciation, amortization,
impairment, post employment benefits liabilities, accruals, taxation and provision.

ANNUAL
REPORT 2022 393
2.1.4 Comparative information and rearrangement thereof

Comparative figures have been re-arranged wherever considered necessary to ensure better comparability with the current
period without causing any impact on the profit and value of assets and liabilities as reported in the financial statements.

2.1.5 Going concern

The Financial Statements have been prepared on a going concern principle is the assumption that an entity will remain in
business for the foreseeable future. Conversely, the Bank has neither any intention nor any legal or regulatory compulsion to halt
operations and liquidate its assets in the near term at what may be very low fire-sale prices. Key financial parameters (including
liquidity, profitability, asset quality, provision sufficiency, capital adequacy and credit rating) of the bank continued to
demonstrate a healthy trend for a couple of years. The management is not aware of any material uncertainties that may cause
to believe that significant doubt upon the bank’s ability to continue as a going concern.

2.1.6 Accrual basis of accounting

The Bank prepares its financial statements, except for cash flow information, using the accrual basis of accounting. Since the
accrual basis of accounting is used, the Bank recognizes items as assets, liabilities, equity, income (except the items mentioned
in note-XII) and expenses (the elements of financial statements) when they satisfy the definitions and recognition criteria for
those elements in the Framework.

2.1.7 Materiality and aggregation

The Bank presents separately each material class of similar items. The Bank presents separately items of a dissimilar nature or
function unless they are immaterial. Financial statements result from processing large numbers of transactions or other events
that are aggregated into classes according to their nature or function.

2.1.8 Offsetting

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally
enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis and or realize the asset and
or settle the liability simultaneously.

2.1.9 Reporting period

The Financial Statements cover from 01 January 2022 to 31 December 2022.

2.1.10 Cash flow statement

ANNUAL
REPORT 2022
2.1.14 IFRS-16: Lease

In January 2016, the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued IFRS-16. IFRS-16 replaces IAS-17, IFRIC 4, SIC 15 and
SIC 27 which sets out the principles for recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases which is effective from
annual reporting periods beginning on or after 01 January 2019. Global Islami Bank Limited has applied IFRS 16: “xs” for the first
time with the date of initial application of 01 January 2020 using modified retrospective approach where the bank measured
the lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments and recognized a right-of-use asset at the date of the
initial application on a lease by lease basis. As IFRS-16 supersedes IAS-17 Lease, the bank has made recognition, measurement
and disclosure in the financial statements-2020 both as Lessee and Lessor as per IFRS-16.

Bank as lessee:

"The bank assesses at initiation of a contract whether the contract is, or contains a lease. That is, if the contract conveys the right
to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange of consideration, then the bank consider the contract
as a lease contract. The bank as a lessee applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for
short-term leases, or, and lease of low value of assets. The bank recognizes lease liabilities to make lease payment and
right-of-use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets. If tenor of a lease contract does not exceed twelve months
from the date of initiation/application, the bank considers the lease period as short term in line with the recognition threshold of
ROU assets as per FA policy of the bank. The Bank determine incremental borrowing rate to calculate the ROU assets and
depreciate the asset over the useful life by straight line method. The right-of-use asset is measured at cost, which is made up of
the initial measurement of the lease liability, any initial direct costs incurred by the Bank, an estimate of any costs to dismantle
and remove the asset at the end of the lease, and any lease payments made in advance of the lease commencement date
(net of any incentives received).

Subsequent to initial measurement, the liability will be reduced for payments made and increased for interest. It is premeasured
to reflect any reassessment or modification, or if there are changes in in-substance fixed payments. The Bank has elected to
account for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets using the practical expedients. Instead of recognizing a right-of-use
asset and lease liability, the payments in relation to these are recognized as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis
over the lease term. On the statement of financial position, right-of-use assets have been included in property, plant and
equipment and lease liabilities have been included other liabilities.

Right-of-use assets (ROU):

"The bank recognises the right-of-use (ROU) assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date the underlying asset
is available for use). ROU assets are measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment of losses and
adjusted for any measurement of lease liabilities. The cost of ROU assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial
direct cost incurred, and lease payment made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight line basis over the lease term, or remaining period of the lease term.

The bank assessed all lease contracts live in 2020 and recognised as ROU of assets of all leases, except short term and low value
of assets as guided by Banks’ own policy set as per IAS-16 and IFRS-16. The ROU assets are presented in the Note 8.00 of these
financial statements.

Lease Liabilities (Bank as a lessee):

At the commencement of the lease, the bank recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to
be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed and variable lease payment (less any adjustment for initial
payment), and amount is expected to be paid under residual value of guarantees.

The lease liabilities are presented in the Note 13.0 of these financial statements.

Bank as a lessor:

"Leases where the bank does not transfer substantially all of the risk and benefit of ownership of any asset are classified as
operating assets. Rental income is recorded as earned based on the contractual term of the lease. However, the Bank did not
hold any such assets in 2020.

Recognition of Lease by the Bank

Global Islami Bank Limited has applied IFRS 16 in 01 January 2020 using modified retrospective approach where the bank
measured the lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments and recognized a right-of-use asset at the
date of the initial application on a lease by lease basis. GIB has applied IFRS-16 on 64 branches till 31 December 2022.

2.1.15 Changes in accounting estimates

Estimates arise because of uncertainties inherent within them, judgment is required but this does not undermine reliability. Effect
of changes of accounting estimates is included in profit or loss account.

ANNUAL
REPORT 2022 395
2.2 Summary of significant accounting policies

Accounting policies are determined by applying the relevant guidelines of Bangladesh Bank as well as the relevant IFRS. Where
there is no available guidelines of BB and IFRS, management uses its judgment in developing and applying an accounting
policy that results in information that is relevant and reliable. The Bank selects and applies its accounting policies for a period
consistently for similar transactions, other events and conditions, unless IFRS or Bangladesh Bank guidelines specifically requires
or permits categorization of items for which different policies may be appropriate. The accounting policies set out below have
been applied consistently in all material respects to all periods presented in these financial statements:

2.3 Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include notes and coins in hand and at ATM, balances held with Bangladesh Bank and its agent
bank, balance with other banks and financial institutions which are not ordinarily susceptible to change in value.

2.4 Investment in shares and securities

Investment in shares and securities (other than Investment in Bangladesh Government Islamic Investment Bond) are initially
recognised at cost and subsequently measured and accounted for depending on their classification criteria as either held to
maturity or held for trading. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition added to the initial cost except for
the investment classified as held for trading where they should be recognised in profit or loss.

Investments in quoted and unquoted shares are revalued at the year-end at market price and at net assets value (NAV) of last
audited balance sheet respectively. As such, provision is made against the diminution in value of investments netting off gain
/loss arises from the market of the securities.

Investment in subordinated bond is measured both initially and subsequently at cost.

2.4.1 Held to Maturity (HTM)

Investments which are intended to be held till maturity are classified as ‘Held to Maturity’ (HTM). These are measured at
amortized cost at each year end by taking into account any discount or premium on acquisition. Premiums are amortized and
discounts are accredited, using the effective or historical yield. Any increase in value of such investments is booked to equity
but decrease to profit and loss account.

2.4.2 Investment- Initial recognition and subsequent measurement

2.5 Investments
Investments are recognized at gross amount on the date on which they are originated. After initial recognition investments are
stated in the Balance Sheet net off profit receivable and unearned income. However, provision for investments are not net-off
with investments.
Profit Receivable – the amount of unexpired portion of profit charged on Bai-Murabaha investment at the time of sale of goods/
services to customer/ client.
Unearned Income - the amount of unrealized portion of profit/ value addition of fixed assets [property, plant and equipment]
under Hire Purchase Under Shirkatul Melk (HPSM) investment for gestation period.
2.6 Fixed assets [Property, plant & equipment and intangibles]
Property, plant and equipment
2.6.1 Recognition
The cost of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic
benefits will flow to the Bank and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
2.6.2 Measurement at recognition
An item of property, plant and equipment that qualifies for recognition as an asset is measured at its cost. The cost of an item
of property, plant and equipment is the cash price equivalent at the recognition date. The cost of a self-constructed asset is
determined using the same principles as for an acquired asset.

396
ANNUAL
REPORT 2022
2.6.3 Elements of costs and subsequent costs
Cost includes purchase price (including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes), directly attributable costs to
bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by the
management and the initial estimate of the cost of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is
located. Costs of day to day servicing (repairs and maintenance) are recognized as expenditure as incurred. Replacement
parts are capitalized, provided the original cost of the items they replace is derecognized.
2.6.4 Measurement of property, plant & equipment after recognition
Cost model
"After recognition as an asset, an item of property, plant and equipment shall be carried at its cost less any accumulated
depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
Revaluation model
The revaluation model requires an asset, after initial recognition, to be measured at a revalued amount, which is its fair value
less subsequent accumulated depreciation and impairment accumulated losses.
Where an asset’s carrying amount is increased as a result of a revaluation, the increase is recognized in equity under the
heading of revaluation surplus. However, the increase is recognized in profit or loss to the extent that it reverses a revaluation
decrease of the same asset previously recognized in profit or loss.
Where an asset’s carrying amount is decreased as a result of a revaluation, the decrease is recognized in profit or loss. However,
the decrease is recognized in equity to the extent of any credit balance existing in the revaluation surplus in respect of that
asset. The decrease recognized in equity reduces the amount accumulated under the heading of revaluation surplus.
The revaluation surplus included in equity in respect of an item of property, plant and equipment is transferred directly to
retained earnings when the asset is derecognized. However, some of the surplus is transferred as the asset is used by the Bank.
In such a case, the amount of the surplus transferred would be the difference between depreciation based on the revalued
carrying amount of the asset and depreciation based on the asset’s original cost.
2.6.5 Derecognition of property, plant and equipment
The carrying amount of an item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic
benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and
equipment is included as other income in profit or loss when the item is derecognized.
2.6.6 Depreciation
The depreciation charge for each period is recognized in profit or loss unless it is included in the carrying amount of another
asset. Depreciation of an asset begins when it is installed and available for use, i.e. when it is in the location and condition
necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. Depreciation of an asset ceases at the
earlier of the date that the asset is classified as held for sale and the date that the asset is derecognized. The residual value and
the useful life of an asset is reviewed at least at each financial year-end and, if expectations differ from previous estimates, the
change(s) shall be accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate.

Depreciation is calculated based on the cost/revalued amount of items of fixed assets [property, plant & equipment] less their
estimated residual values using either of straight-line method (SLM) or reducing balance method (RBM) over their estimated
useful lives and recognized in profit and loss. Land is not depreciated. Rates of depreciation considering the useful life of
respective assets are as follows:

Items Method Rates Estimated useful life (Years)


Furniture & Fixtures Straight-line 10% 10
Machineries and equipment Straight-line 20% 5
Motor vehicle Straight-line 20% 5
Computer and peripheral Straight-line 20% 5
Automated Teller Machines Straight-line 20% 5
Books and journals Straight-line 20% 5

2.7 Intangible assets

2.7.1 Recognition

The recognition of an item as an intangible asset requires the Bank to demonstrate that the item meets the definition of an
intangible asset and the recognition criteria. An intangible asset is recognized as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that
expected future economic benefits that are attributable to the asset will flow to the Bank and the cost of the item can be
measured reliably.

ANNUAL
REPORT 2022 397
2.7.2 Measurement
An intangible asset is measured at cost less any accumulated amortizations and any accumulated impairment losses.
Subsequent expenditures are likely to maintain the expected future economic benefits embodied in an existing intangible asset
rather than meet the definition of an intangible asset and the recognition criteria. Therefore, expenditure incurred after the initial
recognition of an acquired intangible asset or after completion of an internally generated intangible asset is usually recognized
in profit or loss as incurred.
2.7.3 Amortization
The depreciable amount of an intangible asset with a finite useful life shall be allocated on a systematic basis over its useful life.
Amortization begin when the asset is available for use, i.e. when it is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable
of operating in the manner intended by management. Amortization ceases at the earlier of the date that the asset is classified
as held for sale and the date that the asset is derecognized. An intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is not amortized.
2.7.4 Impairment of Fixed assets [property, plant & equipment and intangibles]
Recognizing and measuring impairment loss
Where the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset is reduced to its
recoverable amount. That reduction is an impairment loss. An impairment loss on a non-revalued asset is recognized in profit or
loss. However, an impairment loss on a revalued asset is recognized directly in equity to the extent that the impairment loss does
not exceed the amount in the revaluation surplus for that same asset. Such an impairment loss on a revalued asset reduces the
revaluation surplus for that asset.
The Bank assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any such
indication exists, the Bank estimates the recoverable amount of the asset. Irrespective of whether there is any indication of
impairment, the Bank tests an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life or an intangible asset not yet available for use for
impairment annually.
2.8 Other assets

direction on the issue. The ‘Ministry of Finance’ revealed their opinion that WPPF should not be relevant for Bank Companies and
therefore, it should not be applied there. They also sought for an opinion on this issue from Bangladesh Bank. Subsequently,
Bangladesh Bank agreed on all the logics and legal opinion collected by the ABB and expressed their consensus with them on
29.11.2016. In this backdrop, the ‘Ministry of Finance’ has given their instruction, vide letter no. 53.00.0000.311.22.002.17.130
dated 14.02.2017, for not applying Chapter XV of the Bangladesh Labour Act, 2006 (as amended up to 2013) in Bank

regular operation. The Bank assess the recoverability of the balance of the NBFI and conclude that no additional impairment
provision is required. However, using prudence, the Bank has not accrued interest for the period if not realized. In addition to
above, Banker's meeting held on January 14, 2020 [Letter Ref. BRPD (P-2)/748/2020-1541 dated February 09, 2020] presiding by
the honorable Governor of Bangladesh Bank, decided that Bank will not encash their deposits with FIs before maturity as well
