Definition of the Bank
Bank is an establishment for the custody, loan, exchange, or issue, of money, and for facilitating the transmission of funds by drafts or bills of exchange; an institution incorporated for performing one or more of such functions, or the stockholders (or their representatives, the directors), acting in their corporate capacity. Bank is an organization, usually a corporation, chartered by a state or federal government, which does most or all of the following: receives demand deposits and time deposits, honors instruments drawn on them, and pays interest on them; discounts notes, makes loans, and invests in securities; collects checks, drafts, and notes; certifies depositor’s checks; and issues drafts and cashier’s checks.
Bank is very old institution that is contributing toward the development of any economy and is treated as an important service industry in modern world. Now days the function of bank is not limited to with in the same geographical limit of any country. Due to globalization and free market economy, this industry is facing severe competition in any country and implementation of WTO will further increase competition. The overall performance of Bank does not only depend upon the banking industry itself but also on the performance of economy where it is operating.
Bank can be defined as-
1. An establishment for the custody, loan, exchange, or issue, of money, and for facilitating the transmission of funds by drafts or bills of exchange; an institution incorporated for performing one or more of such functions, or the stockholders (or their representatives, the directors), acting in their corporate capacity.
2. The building or office used for banking purposes.
3. A fund to be used in transacting business, especially a joint stock or capital.
Let it be no bank or common stock, but every man be master of his own money.
4. (Gaming) The sum of money or the checks which the dealer or banker has as a fund, from which to draw his stakes and pay his losses.
Before introduce National Bank Ltd. I would like to focus some light upon the growth and development of banking system since independence.
Growth and development of our banking system may be divided into three phases. The complete government ownership and excessive government interference, absence of prudential regulation and inadequate legal support for debt recovery.
The first phase between 1972 and 1982. The performance of our banking system during 1972 and 1982 was commendable in respect of expanding network and providing easy credit to the socially desirable sector but equally frustrating with regard to maintaining viability and customer service.
The second phase from 1983 to 1989 was characterized by denationalization and privatization of banking system without broad-basing the prudential and information regulatory framework. However these measures of denationalization and privatization could not bring viability and operational efficiency of the banking system.
Under the above circumstances and using the recommendation of the World Bank, a Financial Sector Reform Project (FSRP) was undertaken in 1989 by the government that can de identified with third phase development of our banking system.
FSRP including the following measures:
- Gradually allowing financial institution to up financial product prices according to market forces.
- Raising the loan classification standard in phases.
- Improving level of the financial institution to international standard in phases.
- Improving the capital positions of Nationalized Commercial Bank (NCBs) and private commercial Bank (PCBs) and fixing it at international standard level.
- Delegating grater autonomy to banks especially in terms of selecting their loan portfolio.
- Strengthening the role of Bangladesh Bank in the field of supervision and necessary action in case of any fault.
- Ensuring enabling legal environment by enacting Bank companies Act, 1991 and Financial Loan Court Act.1990 etc.
The government to Bangladesh has also enacted some important acts namely Financial Institutions Act, 1993, Security and Exchange Commission act, 1993, The companies Act, 1994 and recently Bankruptcy Act, 1997.
These reform measures have been aimed at imposing financial discipline on the banks in the short run and making the banks operate increasingly on the basis of market forces as to achieve operational efficiency.
The bankers and bank management are yet to be guided adequate by market forces. The financial discipline has not yet been brought bank. The collapse of share price indexes during later part of 1996, show pace of industrialization, lack of potential commitment, flood of 1998, the attack of 11th September, 2001 in New York all have been further worsening growth to our financial and economic system.
However, there has been some positive side of financial sector reform. New Management tools like, performance planning System (PPS), Lending Risk Analysis (LRA), New Loan Card (NLLC), Management Information System (MIS) are contributing to improve loan portfolio management through a package deal. PPS plans for lending on goods and profitable loan portfolio LBA analyses risk before lending, NLLC records loan performance of borrower with an early warning system through overdue aging and MIS ensures timely and accurately loan information flow.
The Banking sector in Bangladesh is different from the banking sector as seen in developed countries. This is one of the major service sectors in Bangladesh economy and can be divided mainly in to four categories- Nationalized Bank, Local Private Bank, Specialized Financial Institutions and Foreign Banks. However, the journey of private commercial banks is not very older than two decades. Financial sector of Bangladesh like most developing countries is dominated by banking enterprises. Banks at early stages of history of Bangladesh were nationalized and there was mismatch between assets and liabilities. The central bank of the country had limited tools to manage monitory policy. Most banks pursued a policy of financial deepening through extending bank branches to the remote and rural areas without considering financial feasibility. In this situation, causality between economic growth and performance of the financial sector could not be established.
Banking and financial sector in Bangladesh is under intensive monitoring of the govt. to improve performance and efficiency. Bangladesh Bank (BB) has been working as the central bank since the country’s independence. Its prime jobs include issuing of currency, maintaining foreign exchange reserve and providing transaction facilities of all public monetary matters. BB is also responsible for planning the government’s monetary policy and implementing it thereby. The BB has a governing body comprising of nine members with the Governor as its chief. Apart from the head office in Dhaka, it has nine more branches, of which two in Dhaka and one each in Chittagong, Rajshahi, Khulna, Bogra, Sylhet, Rangpur and Barisal. The Bangladesh bank has been given reasonable functional autonomy to bring dynamism in this sector. The Bank Companies Act 1991, the Financial Act 1881, the Public Demand Recovery Act 1913 and Securities & Extension Commission act 1993 have been amended. To provide more securities to the depositor, Bank Deposit Insurance Act has been enacted.
· The banking system dominates the financial sector accounting for about 97% of the market in terms of assets.
· Govt. has undertaken major reform initiative to improve the regulatory and legal environment for bank.
· Several specialists’ development financial institutions have been providing long term debt, equity-financing and leasing.
The share of banking and financial sector in GDP is only 1.63% constituting of banking 1.22%, insurance .35% and other financial services .06%. However the sector experiences an overall growth of 6.96% in 2002-03 with the highest growth (12.28%) in insurance.
To conclude we can say reforms are going process because there are always changed in banking business and situation
