1.1 An overview of the
IBBL

Bangladesh is one of
the largest Muslim countries in the world. The people of this country are
deeply committed to Islamic way of life as enshrined in the Holy Qur’an and the
Sunnah. Naturally, it remains a deep cry in their hearts to fashion and design
their economic lives in accordance with the precepts of Islam. The
establishment of Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited on March 13, 1983, is the true
reflection of this inner urge of its people, which started functioning with
effect from March 30, 1983. This Bank is the first of its kind in Southeast
Asia. It is committed to conduct all banking and investment activities on the
basis of interest-free profit-loss sharing system. In doing so, it has unveiled
a new horizon and ushered in a new silver lining of hope towards materializing
a long cherished dream of the people of Bangladesh for doing their banking
transactions in line with what is prescribed by Islam. With the active
co-operation and participation of Islamic Development Bank (IDB) and some other
Islamic banks, financial institutions, government bodies and eminent
personalities of the Middle East and the Gulf countries, Islami Bank Bangladesh

convenient and acceptable to the Muslim mankind.

The
traditional capitalist banking system depends on interest. It receives interest
for providing loans and pays interest for taking loans. The spread between
these two interests is the source of its profit. But according to Islamic
Shariah all types of interest is banned. So, Islamic bank does not carry on
business of interest and it completely avoids the transaction of interest.

investment and profit. Thus IBBL gives up any transaction of interest and makes
investments based on profit. Bank distributes its profit to its depositors and
shareholders.

Shariah has banned the business of haram goods. For example, Islam not only

Therefore, Islamic bank does not get any haram business and only do halal
business.

Shariah also rejects any haram path or process in case of a halal business.

4.1 Major Findings

Findings on the basis
of previous analysis and practical experience of 45 days internship program,
the following findings are observed during the internship period.

v  Investment position of
this bank is in moderate level. The bank situated in Commercial place that is
why it’s commercial investment is very high in every mode Bi-Mechanism, Share

HPSM investment is increasing rapidly.

4.2 Recommendations

It is not unexpected
to have many problems in any organization. We have found some of the problems
of general banking and investment section of IBBL. To solve these problems, we
can suggest following recommendations

v  Commercial sector
under bai-muajjal mode of investment decreased by 88.63%, bank should increase
this type of investment.

v  Bank should more
concentrate on commercial sector under bai-murabaha mode of investment because
the amount in 2006 was 1571 lac but in 2009 the amount was 382 lac. This is
really treatable for bank.

v  House building
investment sector under bai-muajjal mode of investment; bank should proper step
to increase the investment; because in this sector investment decrease by
29.02%.

v  Bank should invest
quard-e-hasna not only their staff but also to the client because this type of
investment client can more satisfied to bank.

v  In opening an account
customer facing some employ harassments it should be redeemable, because of
satisfies of the client.

v  Bank should develop
their internet facilities very well.

We believe that if the
bank authority accepted the above mentioned recommendations. That would be better
for their bank and betterment for establishing a well reputed modern bank in
Bangladesh.
