Prepared By- Md. Alamgir 1


Branch. Finally the report has been concluded with some recommendations.

During my two months study, I’ve tried my best to get knowledge about their overall banking operation with special emphasis on their performance.

The Banking Industry in Bangladesh is characterized by strict regulations and monitoring from the central governing body, the Bangladesh Bank. The main concern is that currently there are many banks for the market to sustain. As a result, the market will only accommodate those banks that can transpire the most competitive and profitable in the future. Currently the major financial institutions under the banking system include:

1. Bangladesh Bank2. Private Commercial Banks3. State Owned commercials Bank4. Islamic banks5. Non-bank financial Institutions, etc.

Of these, there are four state owned commercial banks (NCB), 5 specialized banks, 11 foreign banks, and 26 domestic private banks, 4

Islamic banks currently operating in Bangladesh.



FIGURE: 1

Generally, the commercial banks and finance companies provide a myriad of banking products/services to cater to the needs of their customers. However, the Bangladesh banking industry is characterized by the tight banking rules and regulations set by the Bangladesh Bank, All banks and financial institutions are highly governed and controlled under the Banking Companies Act-1993.

The range of banking products and financial services is also limited in scope; all local banks must maintain a 4% Cash Reserve Requirement (CRR), which is non-interest bearing and a 16% Secondary Liquidity Requirement (SLR). With the liberalization of markets, competition among the banking products and financial services seems to be growing more intense each day. In addition, the banking products offered in Bangladesh are fairly homogeneous in nature due to the tight regulations imposed by the central bank. Competing through differentiation is increasingly difficult and other banks quickly imitate any innovative banking service.



1.3 Objective of the Study

The main objective of the study is to have knowledge about the investment management in the First Security Islami Bank Ltd. In order to study the credit management I have decided to study about the following facts:

1. To know about the Islamic banking system of First

Security Islami Bank Limited.

2. To know about the different schemes, policies,

procedures of FSIBL.

3. To know about investment policy of the Islamic banking

systems.

1.5 Limitation of the Study

I have faced several problems during the preparation of this repot. Some of the limitations of this report are mentioned below:

a. Credit management is a big subject: Credit management is a big subject to cover wholly in this limited space. It required huge time and huge space to cover. So, I have covered only some important topics of credit management and furnished only the gist here.

b. Engaged in work: Every man of the branch was so busy in their work, so they were not able to provide sufficient time to make me clear about different topics.

c. Time constraint: I had to prepare this report within a period less than three months which was not enough to prepare such a report. Because collection and arrangement of information is a time consuming job. Then again I had to summarize those. So I had to work in haste.

d. Confidential matter: It is not possible to get all sorts of information due to official confidentiality.

e. Lack of practical knowledge: For the lack of practical knowledge, some short comings may be available in the report. Because in some cases I could not practically involved because of bank’s policy limitations and operational bindings.

The problems mentioned above are some of the major problems; I have faced during the preparation of this report. In spite of that, I have tried my level best to make the report as informative as possible.



1.6 Methodology of the study

CHAPTER 2

ABOUT THE FIRST SECURITY ISLAMI BANK LIMITED

2.1 Definition of Bank:

We can define A bank as an institution, usually incorporated with

power to issue its promissory notes intended to circulate as money

(known as bank notes); or to receive the money of others on general

deposit, to form a joint fund that shall be used by the institution, for its

own benefit, for one or more of the purposes of making temporary

loans and discounts; of dealing in notes, foreign and domestic bills of

exchange, coin, bullion, credits, and the remission of money; or with

both these powers, and with the privileges, in addition to these basic

powers, of receiving special deposits and making collections for the

holders of negotiable paper, if the institution sees fit to engage in such

business."

Generally there are two main way of operating commercial bank. They

are conventional banking and Islamic banking system.

2.2 Islamic Banking:

The Islamic banking has been defined in a number of ways. The

definition that is given approved by Organization of Islamic Conference

is most popular. According to The OIC, The Islamic bank is a financial

institution whose status, rules, and procedures expressly state its

commitment to the principle of Islamic Shariah and to the banning of

receipt and payment of interest on any of its operations.

It appears from the definition that Islamic banking is a system of

financial intermediation that avoids receipt and payment of interest in

its transactions and conducts its operation in a way that it helps



achieve the objectives of an Islamic economy. And also it is operated

on the basis of Mudaraba theory. According to Mudaraba theory, the

relationship between bank and clients is not debtors-creditors, it is a

relationship of trusteeship.

The difference between Conventional and Islamic Banking are shown

in terms of a box diagram as shown below:

Conventional Banks Islamic Banks

1 The functions and operating modes of conventional banks are based on manmade principles.

1 The functions and operating modes of Islamic banks are based on the principles of Islamic Shariah.

2 The investor is assured of a predetermined rate of interest.

2 In contrast, it promotes risk sharing between provider of capital and the user of funds.

3 It aims at maximizing profit without any restriction.

3 It also aims at maximizing profit but subject to Shariah restrictions.

4 It does not deal with Zakat. 4 In the modern Islamic banking systems, it has become one of the service-oriented functions of the Islamic banks to collect an distribute Zakat.

5 Leading money and getting it back with interest is the fundamental function of the conventional banks.

5 Participation in partnership business is the fundamental function of the Islamic banks.

6 It can charge additional money in case of defaulters.

6 The Islamic banks have no provision to charge any extra money from the defaulters.

7 For interest-based commercial banks, borrowing from the money market is relatively easier.

7 For the Islamic banks, it is comparatively difficult to borrow money from the money market.

8 The conventional banks give 8 The Islamic banks, on the



greater emphasis on credit-worthiness of the clients.

other hand, give greater emphasis on the viability of the projects.

9 A conventional bank has to guarantee its deposits.

9 Strictly speaking and Islamic bank cannot do it.

10

The status of a conventional bank, in relation to its clients, is that of creditor and debtors.

10

The status of Islamic bank in relation to its clients is that of partners, investors and trader.

11

The conventional Banking system has the recycling system. They charge interest on interest.

11

In Islami Banking system, there is no recycling of interest. There is mark-up/rebate system.

major plank of poverty reduction in Bangladesh. The government has

formulated comprehensive industrial policy 2005 by putting special

emphasis for developing SMEs as a thrust sector for balanced and

sustainable industrial development in the country to help deal with the

challenges of free market economy and globalization.

Some data with a national scope that are pertinent characterizing

SMEs in Bangladesh as of 2001-2003 are presented in Table -1. The

Bangladesh with some 3.5 million workers employed with them. The

urban Bangladesh accounts for some 60% of unit and 76% of

employment in the private – sector enterprises. Rural Bangladesh

account for the rest. 93% of all unit in Bangladesh belong in the SME

category, i.c. have between 20 and 99 employees. However, SMEs

account for only 44% of the total employment of the enterprise sector.

6.6 Findings of First Security Islamic Bank Limited:

While working at Jubliee Road Branch, Chittagong, I have attained

a newer kind of experience. After collecting and analysis data I have

got some problem of the FSIBL. These problems completely from my

personal viewpoint, which is given below:

Lack of update products is a drawback of the general banking

area of the FSIBL . New products such as student loan, medical loan,

marriage loan are not available in FSIBL.



From the clients view introducer is one of the problems to open an

account. It is general problem to all commercial bank.

They face troubles with those clients who have not any knowledge in

banking transactions and banking rules.

As the deposit is heart of running the banking activities FSIBL Deposit

growth not good. Because FSIBL deposit rate is low other than

commercial bank such as Dhaka Bank, Prime bank Mercantile

Bank, HSBC Bank, Bank Asia etc.

FSIBL has not recruited competent people to filling its lower and mid

level position they recruit only once a year. This is really tough to

recruit high skilled employees.

Lack of proper training arrangement of employees.

As a result of technological change such as use of new software There

are few staffs who have lacking in computer knowledge are not

efficient enough to finish every task immediately so before utilizing

new technology proper training should be arrange.

Clients generally complain that rate of interest for various type of

credit is quite high. In many cases productivity from loaned

investment is inadequate that borrower become incapable in

repaying loan.

one problem is that bank always follows the policy of risk averse in

the world today all the organization are moving in approach of risk

taking. As a result it is facing some problems and also facing

competition from other bank

The recovery of capital in small business loan section is threatened.

FSIBL has insufficiencies of Authorized Dealer Branch in respect of the

total foreign business. Bank has only six branches, which have AD

licenses. As a result in total foreign exchange business is very small in

respect of total market.



Per-shipment inspection certificate should obtain from the exporter of

back to back L/C. Because it reduce it fraud and forgery in case of

import against master export L/C, but all the time this pre-

shipment inspection certificate are not wanted by the bank

FSIBL does not promote itself for catering its services to the public or

the business organization.

CHAPTER 7

RECOMMENDATION AND CONCLUSION OF FSIBL

7.1 Recommendations

The existing credit policy is good enough to run the bank. But as

the competition is increasing day by day the bank should take some

measures so that they can distinguish it from the others. The credit

management of First Security Islami Bank Ltd. can follow the following

suggestion to improve their performance and distinguish from others:

1. Giving authority to the Branch officials to take decisions to

sanction a loan. Right now, for every loan decision is made by

Head office. But to faster the speed of loan sanction the branch

should be authorized to take decision.

2. Rebate charge on loan should be increased so that more

customers are attracted to make loan.

3. The period of loan should be extended.

4. The bank management can give permission to its branches to

design or change lending products on the basis of local demand.

5. The bank should recruit some young and energetic executives to

ensure timely recovery of disbursed consumer credit loan.

6. The clients of loan should be facilitated with online Banks and

other benefits.



7. FSIBL should upgrade its website regularly and provide details

information of loan Scheme.

8. FSIBL Bank may also promote its loan program through different

advertising tools i.e. TV adds, News paper adds etc.

9. The Bank management can reduce the interest rate. Because of

high interest rate, some good loans turn to bad loans. But if the

interest rate decreases than the default loan will also decrease.

10. To risk grade the credit, the bank can follow other models

besides the credit risk grading model. Because the credit risk

grading model is not hundred percent up to the mark.

11. The bank management should always be concerned about the

change in industry so that they can notice the change and take

proper actions to adopt the situation.

The credit management of Southeast Bank Ltd. can follow the

abovementioned suggestion to improve their performance so that they

can be competitive in the market and can gain some competitive

advantage.

7.2 Conclusion

Banking has become the inspirable part of social transaction. From

the very early age it had taken in our society in the non-institutional

form. After the Second World War as a financial product lending had

been fully structured and institutionalized in USA and other developed

countries. Now banking sector play an important role in modern

society and private commercial bank has competitive, diversified and

dynamic compared to traditional banking system. In banking sector

FSBL is a name of trust, to improve the life style of the people, to

develop the business environment. Day by day its area of serving is

increased all over the country through setting up new branch at new

place.



FSBL take a vital part in export and import business of Bangladesh

through their regulatory services and best quality services. The

economy of any country depends with the import and export position

of the country. By observing the banking system in FSBL jubilee Road

Branch for one month it is clear to me without bank involvement that

kind of work cannot be possible.

FSBL is providing opportunity of gaining practical knowledge for the

students like internship program. During the period of my internship

program I tried my best to understand the concern. However it is also

concern that this period of time was not enough to understand

everything of the concern. If any one wants to work in banking sector

he must have to know about all the department in a bank because one

department works related with another department works. I wanted to

know about the credit section of the bank because bank’s main

earnings depend with that section. But I can’t because of the limited

period. Even though I tried my best level to make the informative, this

report contain many errors, there may be some printing mistakes no

doubt for this reason I apologize.
