instruction of Bangladesh Bank Net Income  Before Tax (NIBT) stood at tk.865.82 million
in the year under review against tk 405.04 million in the preceding year. An

Deposit and Deposit Mix

In Commercial banks operation starts
with mobilization of resources i.e. tapping of deposits and then they said
resources are deployed as loans, advances and investments for the purpose of
maximizing wealth which means deposits have dominance in Commercial bank’s
operation. That is why there is common saying that deposit is the lifeblood of
a bank. In keeping with this 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. Besides, 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 of tk.27307.94 million in
2008 against that of tk. 20924.02 million in the preceding year showing an
increase of tk..6383.92 million Being 30.51 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 SME 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 31.12.2008 and
31.12.2007 are 27307.94 and 20924.02 (Figure in BDT million)

5.8 SWOT Analysis

SWOT
analysis is the detailed study of an organization’s exposure and potential in
perspective of its strength, weakness, opportunity and threat. This facilitates
the organization to make their existing line of performance and also foresee
the future to improve their performance in comparison to their competitors. As
though this tool, an organization can also study its current position, it can
also be considered as an important tool for making changes in the strategic
management of the organization.

So, we can say
that it is a technique used by the credit officers to evaluate credit proposal
submitted by company especially by the production concern. Here,

S –   Denotes
Strength

W – Denotes
Weakness

O – Denotes
Opportunity

T – Denotes
Threat

à Strengths:

 — Jamuna
Bank ltd has already established a favorable reputation in the banking industry
of the country. It is one of the leading private sector commercial banks in
Bangladesh. The bank has already shown a tremendous growth in the profits and
deposits sector.

—  Jamuna Bank ltd has provided its banking
service with a top leadership and management position. The Board of Directors
headed by its Chairman Mr. Md. Nazrul Islam is a skilled person in business
world. Alamgir Kabir, the Advisor of the bank is a reputed senior chartered
accountant having 30 years vast experience in accounts, audit, and finance&
banking at home and abroad.
Mr. Mohammed Lakiotullah is the Managing

Director of the bank management
team. The top management officials have all worked in reputed banks and their
years of banking experience, skill, and expertise will continue to contribute
towards further expansion of the bank.

Jamuna Bank ltd has already achieved a high growth rate
accompanied by an impressive profit growth rate in 2008. The number of deposits
and the loans and advances are also increasing rapidly.

Jamuna Bank ltd has an interactive corporate culture. The
working environment is very friendly, interactive and informal. And, there are
no hidden barriers or boundaries while communicate between the superior and the
employees. This corporate culture provides as a great motivation factor among
the employees.

à
Weaknesses:

  The bank failed to provide a strong
quality-recruitment policy in the lower and some mid level position. As a
result the services of the bank seem to be Deus in the present days.

  The poor service quality has become a
major problem for the bank. The quality of the
service at Jamuna Bank Ltd is higher than the Dhaka Bank, Prime Bank or
Dutch Bangla Bank etc. But the bank has to compete with the Multinational Bank

— In terms of promotional sector,
Jamuna Bank ltd has to more emphasize on that. They have to follow aggressive
marketing campaign.

à Opportunities:

—  In order to reduce the business risk, Jamuna
Bank ltd has to expand their business portfolio. The management can consider
options of starting merchant banking or diversify into leasing and insurance
sector.

— The activity in the secondary financial market has direct
impact on the primary financial market. Banks operate in the primary financial
market. Investment in the secondary market governs the national economic
activity. Activity in the national economy controls the business of the bank.

—  Opportunity in retail banking
lies in the fact that the country’s increased
population is gradually learning to adopt consumer finance. The bulk of
our population is middle class. Different types of retail lending products have
great appeal to this class. So a wide variety of retail lending products has a
very large and easily pregnable market.


A large number of private banks coming into the market
in the recent time. In this competitive environment Jamuna Bank ltd must expand
its product line to enhance its sustainable competitive advantage. In that
product line, they can introduce the ATM to compete with the local and the
foreign bank. They can introduce credit card and debit card system for their
potential customer.


In addition of those things, Jamuna Bank ltd can introduce
special corporate scheme for the corporate customer or officer who have an
income level higher from the service holder. At the same time, they can
introduce scheme or loan for various service holders.


And the scheme should be separate according to the
professions, such as engineers, lawyers, doctors etc

Threats:

— All
sustaining multinational banks and upcoming foreign and private banks pose
significant threats to Jamuna Bank ltd. If that happens the intensity of
competition will rise further and banks will have to develop strategies to
compete against these local and
foreign banks.


The default risks of all term loans have to be minimized
in order to sustain in the financial market. Because of default risk the
organization may become bankrupt. Jamuna Bank ltd has to remain vigilant about
this problem so that proactive strategies are taken to minimize this problem if
not eliminate.


The low compensation package of the employees from mid
level to lower level position is not able to keep the employee motivation. As a
result, good quality employees leave the organization and it effects the
organization as a whole.

Finally it can be said that, top management officials have experience skill and
proficiency on banking. JBL has got impressive decoration, for that it
creates the attention of the potential customers. Lovely environment boost up
capability of the employees. Besides these JBL has adequate capital, high
interest rate for DPS and Savings account and its goodwill. For poor
employment system, JBL is loosing its reputation. For this reason right people
are also not in right place for reference appointment. Another weakness is low
interest rate of FDR, for which JBL is loosing their customers. This analyzes
the opportunity, which will be available to a company in near future, such as
withdraw of tax, incentives, export, exemption and more credit facilities etc.
JBL can also adopt diversification strategy in expanding the business line into
leasing and insurance company. It analyzes
the threats, which may face the company such as international law, withdraw of
most favorable nation (MFN) and GSP facilities etc. Some contemporary,
multinational and upcoming banks are competitors of JBL. These bank poses
threat for JBL. So JBL should take necessary steps to compete with them.

Comparison of performance among JBL, AB bank ltd& HSBC Ltd.

AB
Bank is known as one of leading bank of the country since its commencement 27
years ago. It continues to remain updated with latest products and services,
considering consumer and client perspectives. AB Bank has thus been able to
keep their consumer’s and client‘s trust while upholding their reliability,
across time. On the other hand,
The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited (HSBC),
Bangladesh Branches (the Bank) commenced its banking operations in Bangladesh
on 3 December 1996 after obtaining its banking license from Bangladesh Bank on
17 April 1996. HSBC is incorporated in Hong Kong and its ultimate holding
company HSBC Holdings plc (the Group) is incorporated in England.

In
spite of adverse market conditions, AB bank ltd concluded the 2008 financial
year with good results. The Bank’s consolidated profit after taxes amounted to
taka 230 crore or which is 21 % higher than that of 2007 and HSBC concluded the
2008 financial year with profit after taxes amounted to taka above 193 crore
which is 13.7 % higher than that of 2007 whereas JBL earned profit of tk.
479437923 in 2008 with a spectacular growth of 438.02 percent over the

tk.27307.94 million in 2008 against that of tk. 20924.02 million in the
preceding year showing an increase of tk.6383.92 million being 30.51 percent .
Thus, JBL has shown a decent performance in terms of the deposit compare to AB
bank ltd and HSBC Ltd.

In
addition, in 2008, the diversified loan portfolio of AB Bank grew by 38.60% and
the diversified loan portfolio of HSBC Ltd grew by 1.5 % whereas JBL raise the
credit portfolios to tk.21036.86 million in 2008 with an increase of tk.

more than 41 branches around the Bangladesh within 8 years whereas AB bank Ltd
has established 74 branches within 27 years and HSBC has established 9 branches
within 13 years. Thus it’s providing evidence that JBL has accelerated their
business activities more smoothly compare to AB Bank Ltd and HSBC ltd.

On
the other hand, Credit Rating Information and Services Limited (CRISL) upgrades
the rating of JBL Long term to A(pronounced as single A minus) from
“BBB+” and reaffirms short-term rating to “ST-3”.The above rating has been done
in consideration of Bank’s visible improvement in fundamentals such as capital
adequacy, liquidity position, and profitability of real time online banking etc.

corporate entity with an adequate profile whereas AB bank maintained its sound
credit rating in 2008 to that of the previous year. The Credit Rating Agency
awarded the bank A1 rating in the long term and ST-2 rating in the short term.
On the other hand, Credit Rating Agency of Bangladesh
(CRAB) Limited has affirmed AAA (Pronounced Triple A) rating in the long
term and ST-1 rating in the short term to The Hongkong and Shanghai
Banking Corporation Limited, Bangladesh Branches. Commercial banks rated in the
long term AAA belong to ‘Highest Safety’cohort. Banks rated in this category
are adjudged to be the strongest banks, characterized by excellent financials,
healthy and sustainable franchises, and a first rate operating environment. Moreover
AB Bank ahead from JBL in terms of dividend payment, they declared a 200% stock
dividend to its shareholders whereas JBL has declared 23.50%, in contrast, HSBC
LTD is a multinational bank and not listed company of SEC that’s why it does
not declare any dividend in Bangladesh.

In modern banking the mechanism has become complex as far as
smooth transaction and safety is concerned. Customer does pay and receive bill
from their counterpart as a result of transaction. Commercial bank’s duty is to
collect bills on behalf of their customer.

Types of Bills for Collection

i.
Outward Bills for Collection (OBC).

Inward Bills for Collection (IBC).

What is OBC?

 

OBC means Outward Bills for
Collection .OBC exists with different branches of different banks outside the
local clearinghouse. Normally two types of OBC:

OBC with different branches of other
banks out of clearing house.

OBC with different branches of the
same bank.

Entry in the OBC register.

Put OBC number in the Cheque.

Dispatch the OBC Cheque with
forwarding.

Reserve the photocopy of the Cheque,
carbon copy of the forwarding and deposit slip of the Cheque in the OBC file.

Commission for collection:

Inward bills for collection (IBC)

When the banks collect bills as an
agent of the collecting branch, the system is known as IBC. In this case the bank will work as an agent of the collection
bank. The branch receives a forwarding
letter and the bill.

Procedure of IBC:

IBC against OBC: To receive the OBC
Cheque first we have to give entry in the IBC Register .The IBC number should
put on the forwarding of the OBC with date.

Letter of credit is a credit contract where the
Opening/Issuing Bank is committed to place an agreed amount of money at the
beneficiary’s disposal under some agreed conditions.

A revocable credit is one where the issuing bank is at
liberty to revoke that is it can cancel the credit at any time. According to
UCPDC (Uniform Customs for Practice of Documentary Credit), a revocable credit
may be amended or canceled by the issuing bank at any time and without prior
notice to the beneficiary before shipment of consignment against the L/C.

: An irrevocable L/C is one, which cannot be revoked or
amended by the bank with the concurrence of the interested party.

3.6.2 Some
Important Terms of Letter Of Credit

Sometimes the importer may require
amendment to be made in the L/C, but this amendment must be made within the
consent of exporter, otherwise amendment will have no validity.

Sometimes the importer may not rely
on the L/C issuing bank. Exporter requires the L/C to be confirmed by another
bank situated in his country. Then on request of issuing bank, any bank in
exporter’s country gives guarantee about the payment. This is called confirming
bank. By adding such confirmation, confirming banks undertakes the liability to
honor the bill of exchange of exporter.

Validity and Expiry of
Credit: All L/C must
mention the expiry date of L/C with in which the documents for payment
/acceptance must be presented. This must exceed the date of issuance of the
bill of lading or other shipping documents, during which presentation of
documents for payment/acceptance must be made.

Under FOB basis, the exporter quotes
the price covering all his expenses until the goods duty packed are delivered
“on board”, the carrying vessel named and arranged by the buyer with the
freight and the insurance being paid by the buyer. The importer bears any cost
incurred and all risks from the time the goods are placed on board inclusive of
those arising out of the ship’s failure on berth.

Cost and Freight(C
& F): In this
case the exporter quotes the FOB price plus insurance cost. The
responsibilities of carrying out all formalities for shipment of the goods
developed upon the seller.

CIF (Cost, Insurance and
Freight): Under CIF,
the exporter quotes C&F price plus the insurance cost. The responsibility
of carrying out all formalities for shipment of the goods develop upon the
seller.

FAS (Free alongside
Ship): Under FAS,
the seller quotes the price covering all his charges until such time as goods
are loaded on Train at the specified railway station. The buyer is responsible
for all charges from the time he takes delivery of all goods from the
exporter’s yard.

The seller quotes the price of the
goods ex-factory on the date agrees. The importer is responsible for all
further necessary arrangements and charges.
