From the above
it reveals that Jamuna Bank Limited was able to increase its core capital by

Tk.807.14 million to Tk. 562.47 million and
supplementary capital by 27.47 percent from Tk.1 09.32 million to
Tk. 39.35 million and total capital
by 85.69 percent from Tk.916.46 million to Tk.1 701.82 million.
3.4 TREASURY OPERATIONS
The Bank made
its mark in Treasury operation. In money market the Bank played active role in
local and foreign
currency. Besides, it carried on operation as Primary
Dealer. Having participated in local currency and foreign
currency market and taken part in
secondary trading of Govt. securities the Bank made significant growth. It would not be out of place to mention that Jamuna
Bank Limited was the only third generation bank, which was selected as Primary
Dealer by Bangladesh Bank owing to its excellent performance in money market.
Treasury
operation has been
identified as one of the best sources for earning by the Bank through effective
participation.
JBL’s dealing
room is well equipped with modern and updated equipments like voice recorder,
reuter 3000xtra,
CDBL electronic system etc. The activities of FX and
local money market have been synchronized with
complete segregation of
activities of front and back offices. Intensive monitoring is ensured by the
Bank’s Asset
Liability Management Committee (ALCO) which sits in regular meetings to
review the asset liability position
and interest rates and takes important decisions thereon.
In the year 2006 there was a bit
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.

3.5. DEPOSITS AND
DEPOSIT MIX

In commercial
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 
thereby could mobilize a total
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:

Though there was
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

single borrower, concentration on
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.

3.7
RISK MANAGEMENT

As a regulatory body Bangladesh Bank
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

    Credit risk
    grading is an important tool for credit Risk management as if helps the Banks
    & financial
    institutions to understand various dimensions of Risk
    moved in different credit (transactions. The
    aggregation of such grading
    across the borrowers, activities and the lines of business can provide hello
    assessment of the quality of credit portfolio of a bank or a branch
    The credit risk grading system is vital
    to take decisions both al the
    pre-sanctum stage as well
    as post-sanction stage.
    At the
    pre-sanction stage, credit grading helps the sanctioning authority to decide
    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
    risk mitigation tools to put a cap on the risk level.

    At the post-sanction
    stage,
    the bank can decide about the depth of the review or enewal,
    frequency of review, periodicity or the grading and other precautions to be
    taken.

    review, periodicity of the mid other precautions to be taken

    Having
    considered the significance of credit risk )
    ,lading, it becomes
    imperative for the banking system to carefully develop a credit risk grading
    model which meets the objective outlined above.

    The
    lending Risk Analysis (LRA) mammal introduced in 1993 by the Bangladesh Bank
    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

    Since
    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
    application
    by the Banks and financial institutions in processing credit decisions
    and evaluating the magnitude of risk
    involved therein.

    Bangladesh
    Bank expects all commercial franks to have a well-defined credit risk
    management
    which delivers accurate and timely risk grading. This manual describes
    file elements of an effective
    internal process for grading credit risk. It also
    provides a comprehensive but generic discussion of the
    objectives and
    general characteristics of effective credit risk grading system In practice a
    banks credit
    risk grading system should reflect the complexity of its lending
    activities and the complexity of risk
    involved.

    DEFINITION OF CREDIT RISK GRADING (CRG)

    ·
    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
    as a primary summary indicator of
    risks associated with a credit exposure.

    ·
    Credit
    Risk grading is the basic module for developing for developing a credit risk
    management system.

    FUNCTIONS OF CREDIT RISK GRADING

    Well-managed credit risk grading systems promote bank
    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.
    USE OF CREDIT RISK GRADING
    ·
    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.

    NUMBER AND SHORT NAME OF GRADES USED IN THE CRG

    6. CREDIT RECOVERY
    The Recovery
    Department should directly manage accounts with sustained dc1crioralion (a risk
    Rating
    of Sub Standard (6) or worse). Hanks may wish to transfer EXIT accounts graded
    4-5 to the
    RU for efficient exit based on recommendation of CRM and Corporate
    Banking. Whenever an
    account is handed over from Relationship
    Management to RU, a Handover/1Downgrade Checklist
    (Annexure – 9) should be completed
    Down Grading
    process should be done nomadically and should not be postponed unit the annual
    review process,

    The RU’s primary
    functions arc:

    ·
    Determine
    Account Action Plan/Recovery Strategy
    ·
    Pursue all options to maximize/c recover, including
    placing customers into receivership or

    adequacy of provisions muss be regularly reviewed. A process should he
    established
    to share the
    lessons learned from f1w experience of credit losses in order to update the
    lending guidelines.
    CHAPTER-07
    7.1 Problems
    Identification
    During internship
    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

    7.2
    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
