volatility in the local money market sometime in March-April but this market
.vas more or less stable with a little fluctuations in interest rate during
most of the time of the year. On the contrary, FX market was to a great extent
volatile in 2006 having pressure on Taka against dollar. But our professionally skilled human resources were quite
tactful in handling operations and could reap the benefits of local money market and FX market with significant
growth. They were prudent enough to maintain the regulatory requirements
of CRR and SLR of the Bank.
DEPOSIT MIX
banks operation starts with mobilization of resources i.e. tapping of deposits
and then the said resources are deployed as
loans, advances and investments for the purpose of maximizing wealth which -sans
deposits have dominance in commercial bank’s operations. That is why, there is
a common saying that deposit is the lifeblood of a bank. In keeping with this
axiom JBL attaches utmost importance to the deposit mobilization campaign and to the optimal deposit mix
for minimizing COF as far as practicable. A stiff competition persisted in the market as to deposit
mobilization and there was a pressure on interest rate. 3esides, instability in political atmosphere was
adversely affecting business, which stood as a hindrance to the smooth
operation of banks including deposit mobilization. Despite all these
unfavorable factors JBL was able to instill confidence in customers as to its
commitments to the depositors and borrowing customers and
deposit ofTk.17284.81 million in 2006 against that ofTk.14454.13 million in the
preceding year showing an increase of Tk.2830.68 million being 19.58 percent.
Endeavor is underway for augmenting low cost deposit by accommodating good
customers at competitive price. For healthy growth of business JBL puts emphasis on no cost and low cost deposit all the time.
A number of savings schemes are in place for mobilizing long term
deposits which can be planned to be invested in term loans in-the area lease finance, project finance and consortium finance
with a view to having better yields. JBL’s such move will motivate the
people to have good savings habit, as well. The comparative position of deposit
mix of the Bank as on 31.12.2006 and 31.12.2005 is depicted below:

an unfavorable business environment due to political turmoil throughout the year JBL was in constant
efforts to explore different areas of credit operation and could raise the credit portfolios to
Tk.12796.63 million in 2006 with an increase of Tk.1784.80 million (16.21%)
over that of the preceding year. The total credit as on 31.12.05 was
Tk.11011.83 million. In order to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements for avoiding risk of exposure to
large loans, to bring in excellence in
credit operation in relation to risk management, yield, exposure,
tenure, collaterals, security valuation etc. JBL strived for further diversification of credit portfolios. Its credit facilities
were concentrated on Trade Finance, Agriculture and related sector, project finance,
wholesale and retail trade, transport sector, hospital & diagnostic centers and syndicate financing for
big projects, capacity additions to the manufacturing sector and structured financing for developing infrastructure
of the country. Initiatives are underway for helping small and medium
entrepreneurs in the ventures for which, in JBL, we are developing SME credit
products and strategies. JBL has also
increased lending activities to small consumers through Consumer Credit Scheme.
RISK MANAGEMENT
wants all banks to take effective measures for implementation of risk management in banking operations covering the
major risks in asset-liability management, credit risk management, Foreign Exchange Risk Management, Internal Control
& Compliance and Money Laundering Prevention. As these risks are integral
parts of banking business JBL has put highest priority on management of such
risks with intense monitoring of credit portfolios. We believe these will
improve our operational and financial performance along with meeting the
regulatory requirements. The Bank is in constant efforts to establish superior
monitoring of credit risks and returns. For bringing in harmonious matching
between assets and liabilities ALCO reviews these on a regular basis for keeping risk in this area to an
acceptable level. The Bank’s credit policy guidelines and procedures are continuously reviewed and upgraded by its
internal committees. The Bank also pursues an effective internal control system by establishing systems and procedures for
scrutinizing the transactions periodically, encompassing key back-up supports and commissioning regular contingency
plans. Through establishment of proper governance structure risk and
returns are evaluated with a view to producing sustainable revenues, reducing
volatility in earnings and enhancing value
to shareholders. Maintenance of quality of assets is always the key issue to
the JBL Management. Continuous
efforts are made to maintain earning assets at the highest possible level so as
to maximize profits and minimize cost of operation.

for counterparty arises from an aggregation of the following: Financial Risk
- Business/Industry Risk
- Management Risk
- Security Risk
- Relationship Risk
of the above mentioned key risk areas require to be evaluated and aggregated to
arrive at an overall risk grading measure.
Evaluation of Financial Risk:
parties will fail to meet obligation due to financial distress. This typically
entails
analysis of financials i.e. analysis of leverage, liquidity, profitability
& interest coverage ratios. To conclude, this capitalizes on the risk of high
leverage, poor liquidity, low profitability & insufficient cash flow.
Evaluation of Business/Industry Risk:
that adverse industry situation or unfavorable business condition will impact
borrowers’ capacity to meet obligation. The evaluation;
of this category of risk looks at parameters such as business
outlook, size of business, industry growth, market competition & barriers
to entry/exit. To conclude, this capitalizes on the risk of
failure due to low market share & poor industry growth.
Risk:
that counter parties may default as a result of poor managerial ability
including experience of the management, its succession plans and
teamwork.
that the bank might be exposed due ‘:o poor quality or strength of the security
in case of default. This may entail strength of security & collateral,
location of collateral and support.

The credit risk grading system is vital to take decisions both al the

whether to lend or not to lend, what should be the loan price. what should be the
extent of exposure, what should be the appropriate credit facility. what are
the various facilities, what ;are the various facilities, what are the various

imperative for the banking system to carefully develop a credit risk grading
model which meets the objective outlined above.

has been in practice for mandatory use by the Banks & financial
institutions for loan size of BDT 1.00 core and above. However, file LRA manual suffers from a lot of subjectivity,
sometimes creating confusion to the lending Bankers in terms of selection of
credit proposals on the basis of risk exposure. Meanwhile, in 2003 end Bangladesh Bank provided
guidelines for credit risk grade scorecard for risk assessment of credit
proposals
the two-credit risk models are presently in vogue. The Governing; Board
of Bangladesh institute of Batik Management (13113M) under (he chairmanship of
the Governor, 13;mf; ladcsh Bank decided (hat an integrated Credit Risk Grading;
Model be developed incorporating file significant features of the above mentioned models
with a view to render a need based simplified and user friendly model for

provides a comprehensive but generic discussion of the objectives and

The
Credit Risk Grading (CRG) is a collective definition based on the pre-specified
scale and reflects the underlying credit-risk for a given exposure.
A Credit Risk Grading deploys a number/ alphabet/ symbol

Credit
Risk grading is the basic module for developing for developing a credit risk
management system.
safety and soundness by facilitating informed decision-making. Grading systems
measure credit risk and differentiate individual credits and groups of credits
by the risk they pose. This allows bank management and examiners to monitor
changes and trends in risk levels. The process also allows bank management to
manage risk to optimize returns.
The
credit risk grading matrix allows application of uniform standards to credits
to ensure a common standardized approach to assess the quality of individual
obligor, credit portfolio of aunt, line of business, the branch of the Bank as
a whole.
As
evident, the CRG outputs would be relevant for individual credit selection,
wherein ether a borrower or a particular exposure/facility is rated. The other
decisions would be relative to pricing (credit-spread) and specific feathers of
the credit facility. These would largely constitute obligor level analysis.
Risk
grading would also be relevant for surveillance and monitoring, internal MIS
and assessing the aggregate risk profile of a Bank. It is also relevant for
portfolio level analysis.

period in Jamuna Bank Limited Dilkusha Branch tile following problems are observed.
Human resource of any organization is considered as a
valuable asset. But human resources, in the branch, are not equipped with
adequate banking knowledge. Majority of the human resources have lack of
basic knowledge regarding money, banking finance and accounting. Without
proper knowledge in these subjects, efficiency cannot be optimized. Bank can
arrange training program
on these subjects.
There is shortage of computer in general banking section.
Sometimes the shortage
of computer makes some unfortunate event in that section.
Flora On-line banking
software is used by JBL and this is quite difficult to use for the employee as the employees are
not well trained.
This bank does not have any plan to enter into the Credit
Card Market. It is well versed that tomorrow’s payment will be consisted of only
plastic money (Credit Card). A large part of business transaction will be done
by credit card III near future. In western world, more than 50% of transactions
are in credit card this bank does not prepare from now on, it
cannot compete in the future market. So, the branch should give special attention to the introduction
of Credit Card
Since a number of new banks are coming to existence with
their extended customer service pattern in a completely competitive
manner. Customer-services must be made dynamic and prompt. Now a days,
people especially business people have very little time to waste. So the bank
should make its service
prompt so that people need not give more time in the banking activities
Recommendation
Now
a day’s on-line banking is not a very uncommon service 1,01-ally
private commercial bank. JBI, provide
On-line banking service but they take source charge for it, if the customers do not use his/her mother branch. To
encourage customers to use On-line
banking facility this service charge should not be taken charge from the
customers.
Though JBL using very popular software i.e. Flora bank
on–line software but the use of it is quite difficult for the employee.
(According to the statement of some employee of JBL who has the
experience to use more then one banking software).
JBL are not taking their clearing cheque for other- They are using IBC/OBC systems to take that kind of
clearing cheque.
JBI, not providing the credit cards in market which now a
days one of the most
important part of banking. So for it they are loosing too many customers.
Customer service of bank has a greater impact on its
customer. To provide smarter customer service they need a call center
department is very popular
now a day.
Foreign exchange operations of other banks are more dynamic
and less time consuming.
JBL should take some initiative to compete with those banks.
In our country financial problem is a great constraint in
foreign trade. JBL Is very conservative for post-shipment finance. 11′ it stays
in liberal position the exporters
