Credit Policy & Practice of Banking Institutions in Bangladesh 1.1. Background I am the student of Bachelor of Business Administration (B.B.A) of Stamford University Bangladesh, I study the subject's related to major in Accounting, Management, Finance, Marketing, Mathematics and little about other subjects. 1.2 Rationale for Choosing Topic Credit Policy and Practice is most important division in the banking sector. Most of the Banking activities are related credit. Now every banks give importance to their customers. So banks like to fulfill customers’ wishes, aspiration, and demand of their personal life. In our study all of Banks in Bangladesh are offering very distinguish and attracted financial product to their customer and all are the credit related even in normal financial activities they provide opportunity of credit. Some commercial banks provide loan any purpose to the customer can fulfill their any aspiration. Customers like to enjoy personal auto loan to accommodate the transportation needs. Consequently, Auto Loan got substantial momentum in the market. Most of the banks are focusing this product for increasing core lending base of the bank. This product will be a one of most vital lending products for retail lending. By observing all of banking activities that, “Credit Policy and Practice” can be right choice if one provide all of possible and logical information about All of Banks in Bangladesh. In my studies I have tried to collect financial information from maximum number of Banks. Finally I have given very logical and necessary information and make this report a resourced report of data. That is why it is definitely a right choice of topic.

1.3 Objectives: There are some objectives for making this report which are as follows:

 Overview of Banking industries in Bangladesh 1


 To reveal rules, regulations, theories and practices of credit in Bangladesh.  To study function of the Credit Policy and Practice by all of Banks in Bangladesh.  To compare different group of banks with each other.  To identify the growth rate of different type of banks. 

To identify problems in Credit Policy and Practice of all Banks.

 To recommend suggestions for the successful Credit Policy and Practice by all Banks.  To analysis the Credit Policy and Practice in Bangladesh by all Banks.

1.4 Limitations of the Report The sources of the information are collected from different Banks’ website and annual report and also from Scheduled Banks Statistics (October to December 2008). Every task has some limitations. I faced some usual constraints during the research period. Though I have given utmost effort to prepare this report but there are some limitations of the study. These are as follows Collecting Information  Communication  Busy working Environment of the offices  Secrecy of Information  Different Format Data  Technological Problem  Financial Data Complexity

All of Limitations are discussed below: Collecting information Most of the information I have collected from Bangladesh Bank and annual report of all banks. I collected “Scheduled Bank Statistics” from Bangladesh Bank department of printing and publications. They have some rules and regulations to collect this book that is why it was hassle for me. I also collected all of annual report’s soft copy from Dhaka Stock Exchange library but they do

2


not have sufficient collections of annual report in year 2008. They had a few annual reports and rest of annual reports I have collected from Bangladesh Bank’s library it was very tuff for me. Communication I faced some communication problem because maximum of data I collected from Motijheel area but this area is too much busy. For this I had to suffer to communicate in particular place to go particular person or library. So the communication was difficult which have hampered my purpose to some extent. Busy working environment of the offices Though I did not go any single bank or branch to collect data directly but I went this related office to collect hard copy or soft copy data but in Bangladesh Bank and Dhaka Stock Exchange officials are too busy and always did not provide actual support due to their busyness. Secrecy of Information The published data that is which data are published data by the bank this are available in annual report and own web address but some confidential data never they publish and it was a problem for collecting proper and necessary data. Different Format Data All data are same but publish different format and for this different format data it made complex to compare each other or making report.

Technological Problem Today technology is so much updated similarly in banking sector in our country it is also updated in very rare case I find out that some of banks have no updated website and have no sufficient data. For this time in some cases I had to collect all data from annual report and from Schedule Banks Statistics even though profile of the bank.

Financial Data Complexity

3


To make a financial analyzing report it really need a person who have enough idea about finance and accounting and also about economics but I am not good enough to gather and identify to make this type of report. That is why it was really hard for me but finally I have done it. 1.5 Scope of The report The report covers the functions of different things of banking related activities but all over it was about Credit Policy and Practice. For this report I have studied all Banks of Bangladesh who invest and provide credit in different sectors and not only it shows the providing credit but it also shows the recovery rate and system. There Policy Practice and Credit limitations etc. It is also present a brief scenario of all banks, concept, analysis and problems. 1.6 Research Methodology This study aims at analyzing the Credit Policy and Practice in all banks of Bangladesh. The study has attempted to provide an overall scenario of all banks in Bangladesh, with special focus on investment mechanism. Where clearly clarify their financial product, distribution and recover. Their showed the loan what are given to the customer in different situation and sectors. It was not possible to collect data by discussing with different personnel because here I worked with a lot of Banks but it is not possible to discuss a lot of person. That is why it had no personnel involvement from banking department who usually supply data in short report. That is why most of the information from the secondary sources about Banks has been collected through different sources. Different write-up of policy makers regarding this topic helps me in gathering information for this report. Some other Important Sources Are: •

With a view to achieving the aforesaid objectives of all banks, Credit operation is of paramount importance as the greatest share of the total revenue of commercial banks are generated from it. The success of a bank, therefore, depends on how efficiently and judiciously it makes use of its available resources. In other words, prudent and efficient management of its credit portfolio is very essential for the success of a bank. The Credit Policy of any banking institution is a combination of certain accepted, time tested standards and other dynamic factors dictated by the realities of changing situations in different market places. In formulating a credit judgment and making QUALITY Credit Decision, the lending officer must be equipped with all information needed to evaluate a borrower’s character, management competence, capacity, ability to provide collaterals and external conditions which may affect his ability in meeting financial obligations. 8

Bangladesh Bank guidelines

It should be remembered that selection of the appropriate borrowers, proper follow-up and end-use supervision through constant follow-up and monitoring are the cornerstone for timely recovery.

4. Credit Risk Management Credit risk is most simply defined as the potential that a bank borrower or counterparty will fail to meet its obligations in accordance with agreed terms. The goal of credit risk management is to maximize a bank's risk-adjusted rate of return by maintaining credit risk exposure within acceptable parameters. Banks need to manage the credit risk inherent in the entire portfolio as well as the risk in individual credits or transactions. Banks should also consider the relationships between credit risk and other risks. The effective management of credit risk is a critical component of a comprehensive approach to risk management and essential to the long-term success of any banking organization. 11


For most banks, loans are the largest and most obvious source of credit risk; however, other sources of credit risk exist throughout the activities of a bank, including in the banking book and in the trading book, and both on and off the balance sheet. Banks are increasingly facing credit risk (or counterparty risk) in various financial instruments other than loans, including acceptances, interbank transactions, trade financing, foreign exchange transactions, financial futures, swaps, bonds, equities, options, and in the extension of commitments and guarantees, and the settlement of transactions. While financial institutions have faced difficulties over the years for a multitude of reasons, the major cause of serious banking problems continues to be directly related to lax credit standards for borrowers and counterparties, poor portfolio risk management, or a lack of attention to changes in economic or other circumstances that can lead to a deterioration in the credit standing of a bank's counterparties. This experience is common in both G-10 and non-G-10 countries. 4.1 Significance Credit risk management has always been important, but the events of 2008 in the global banking system have highlighted how dangerous it can be to fail to manage credit risk. This is not only the domain of banks, as corporations have credit exposures throughout their businesses as well. Vendors, suppliers, customers and services firms can all be sources of commercial relationships that create credit risk. 4.2 Function Solutions for credit risk management, whether using technology or personnel, all have the initial goal of real-time measurement of credit exposures. Exposures mean the amount of actual money that can be lost if a counterparty to a transaction or business contract fails to pay. Risk professionals in this function must be able to know at all times the total value of a corporation's exposure as well as where it is concentrated in terms of counterparties. The likelihood of a default, and the potential timing of a default, will depend on factors unique to the counterparty as well as market considerations. As soon as there is a clear understanding of credit exposures, the risks can then be managed using a variety of tools.

4.3 Types There are market, technology and negotiated solutions for the management of credit risk. Market solutions include the use of credit default swaps, whereby derivatives are purchased that pay if a specific counterparty fails to. Information technology products can be used to track and monitor credit pricing and ratings in the marketplace and to alert risk professionals of changes in their status. Standard & Poor's and Moody's are good examples of firms that provide information technology solutions in the credit risk arena. Negotiated solutions, such as netting, involves specific contractual arrangements that are put in place to lower credit risk. Netting does this by causing the net amount of cash to be settled between two parties rather than the aggregate amount to be paid. 12


4.4 Considerations Regardless of the type of credit risk management utilized, the most important component is the human one. Experienced credit professionals need to be involved in using the tools so that the information they provide is priced correctly and interpreted properly. The vast amount of information available is best screened by personnel who understand credit risk. 4.5 Benefits The most obvious benefit to good credit risk management is the prevention of a major, or even disastrous loss or series of losses. A more subtle benefit is that the kind of data produced by a well-functioning credit risk team can be used to make better pricing decisions and better investment decisions at the corporate level.

5.0 Lending Risk Analysis (LRA): Modern Technique of Credit Appraisal: The Financial Sector Reform Project (FSRP) has designed the LRA package, which provides a systematic procedure for analyzing and quantifying the potential credit risk. Bangladesh Bank has directed all commercial bank to use LRA technique for evaluating credit proposal amounting to Tk. 10 million and above. The objective of LRA is to assess the credit risk in quantifiable manner and then find out ways & means to cover the risk. However, some commercial banks employ LRA technique as a credit appraisal tool for evaluating credit proposals amounting to Tk. 5 million and above. Broadly LRA package divides the credit risk into two categories, namely 1. Business risk 2. Security risk. A detail interpretation of these risks and the procedure for evaluating the credit as follows 5.1.1 Business risk: 13


It refers to the risk that the business falls to generate sufficient cash flow to repay the loan. Business risk is subdivided into two categories. 5.1.2 Industry risk. The risk that the company fails to repay for the external reason. It is subdivide into supplies risk and sales risk. 5.1.3 Supplies risk: It indicates that the business suffers from external disruption to the supply of imputes. Components of supplies risk are as raw material, Labor, power, machinery, equipment, factory premises etc. Supply risk is assessed by a cost breakdown of the inputs and then assessing the risk of disruption of supplies of each item. 5.1.4 Sales risk: This refers to the risk that the business suffers from external disruption of sales. Sales may be disrupted by changes to market size, increasing in competition, change in the regulation or due to the loss of single large customer. Sales risk is determined by analyzing production or marketing system, industry situation, Government policy, and competitor profile and companies strategies.

5.1.5 Company risk: This refers to the risk that the company fails for internal reasons. Company risk is subdivided into company position risk and Management risks. 5.1.6 Company position risk: Within an industry each and every company holds a position. This position is very competitive. Due to the weakness in the company's position in the industry, a company is the risk for failure. That means, company position risk is the risk of failure due to weakness in the companies position in the industry. It is subdivided into performance risk and resilience risk. 5.1.7 Performance risk: This risk refers to the risk that the company’s position is so weak that it will be unable to repay the loan even under Favor able external condition. Performance risk assessed by SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat) analysis, Trend analysis, Cash flow forecast analysis and credit report analysis (i.e. CIB repot from Bangladesh Bank). 5.1.7 Resilience risk:

14


Resilience means to recover early injury, This refers to risk that the company falls due to resilience to unexpected external conditions. The resilience of a company depends on its leverage, liquidity and strength of connection of its owner or directors. The resilience risk is determined by analyzing different financial ratio, flexibility of production process, shareholders willingness to support the company if need arise and political and private affiliation of owners and key personnel. 5.1.8 Management risk: The management risk refers to the risk that the company fails due to management not exploiting effectively the company’s position. Management risk is subdivided into management competence risk and integrity risk. 5.1.9 Management competence risk: This refers to the risk that falls because the management is incompetent. The competence of management depends upon their ability to manage the company's business efficiently and effectively. The assessment of management competence depends on management ability and management team work. Management ability is determined by analyzing the ability of owner or board of the members first and then key personnel for finance and operation. Management team work is determined by analyzing management structure and its strength and weakness.

5.1.10 Management integrity risk: This refers to the risk that the company fails to repay the loan amount due to lack of management integrity. Management integrity is a combination of honesty and dependability. Management integrity risk is determined by assessing management honesty, which requires evaluating the reliability of information supplied and then management dependability. 5.2 Security risk: This sort of risk is associated with the realized value of the security, which may not cover the exposure of loan. Exposure means principal plus outstanding interest. The security risk is subdivided into two major heads i.e. security control risk and security cover risk. 3.2.1 Security control risk: This risk refers to the risk that the bank falls to realize the security because of bank's control over the security offered by the borrower i.e. incomplete documents. The risk of failure to realize the security depends on the difficulty in obtaining favorable judgment and taking possession of security. For analyzing the security control risk the credit office is required to verify documentation to ensure security protection, documentation completeness, documentation integrity and proper insurance policy. He/she also conducts site visit to verify security existence. Assessment of security control risk requires analyzing the possibility of obtaining favorable judgment and analyzing the case with which the bank could take the possession and liquidate the securities. 5.2.2 Security covers risk: 15


This refers to the risk that the realized value of security is less than exposure. Security cover risk depends on speed of realization and liquidation value. For analyzing security cover risk, the official requires assessing the power of the customer to prolong the legal process and to analyze the market demand for the security For assessment of security control risk, the officials times the time that would require to liquidate the security and assess the risk and estimates the security value at liquidation and assess the risk. Before completing the LRA form, the relationship manager collects data specially industry specific from published sources and company specific data that not usually published., by personally visiting the company. After collecting the necessary data he/ she prepares financial spreadsheet. This spreadsheet provides a quick method of assessing business trend & efficiency and helps to assess the borrower ability to pay the loan Obligation. Financial spreadsheet includes balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement and ratios for the purpose of financial statement analysis.

Through analyzing data and collected information, the concerned official completes the LRA form and all scores are transferred to the scoring matrix to find the overall risk of lending. The overall matrix provides four kinds of lending risk for decision making viz. (I) Good (ii) Acceptable (iii) Marginal and (iv) Poor. The bank does not provide any credit request having an over all risk as “marginal" and “Poor" without justification. All credit application rated "Poor" shall require the approval of the Board of Directors regardless of purpose tenor or amount. Therefore bank can minimize the dangers regarding the bad loan and advances through using the LRA.

SME Interest & Experience in SME Financing - Dhaka Bank Limited Since inception, the Dhaka Bank has held socio-economic development in high esteem and was among the first to recognize the potentials of SMEs. Dhaka Bank’s Involvement: Recognizing the SME segment’s value additions and employment generation capabilities quite early, the Bank has pioneered SME financing in Bangladesh in 2003, focusing on stimulating the manufacturing sector and actively promoting trading and service businesses. Story of a successful Branch in SME Financing: The Bank started branch operations at Belkuchi Sirajgonj in April 2003. Prior to the Bank’s intervention, the weaving community did not have the financial strength to stock their products till “Eid ul Fitr” when the annual sale takes place. Traders were taking advantage to the situation by buying up entire productions at low prices and liquidating stocks just before “Eid”. With financial services from Dhaka Bank Limited, the weavers have converted to power looms, significantly increased profitability and reduced the involvement of middlemen. We are now working on institutionalizing the learnings and applying them in other areas across Bangladesh, particularly in textiles, light engineering and other manufacturing clusters. Already we have identified several clusters and are working on improving access to finance within these clusters. Experience & Learning In our opinion, the single largest problem of the lower end of the SME sector is that they are unable to fully understand their needs. Even if these needs are understood, they are seldom met with the right product mix. Small business owners are unable to provide banks with required information of the right type and quality. This has created a gap between the borrower and the banks and has served to limit the outreach of SME financial products. In order to overcome this obstacle, Dhaka Bank SME Unit provides comprehensive support to prospective clients in evaluating their business and preparing the required documents in acceptable formats. 27


In this regard, the Dhaka Bank SME Unit has been working in close collaboration with the USAID, the SouthAsia Enterprise Development Facility (SEDF) an International Finance Corporation (IFC) managed multidonor facility and the World Bank.

6.1.13 NCC Bank Limited Credit Policy of NCCBL A credit policy includes all rules relating to loans and advances made by the bank to the borrowers. It includes types of credit extended by banks, method of judging the credit worthiness of borrowers, the collateral or securities that are accepted by the banks and so on. This policy guidelines refer to all credit facilities extended to customers including placement of funds on the interbank market or other transactions with financial institutions. Although, unlike other commercial banks , there is no prescribed and published manual or policy guidelines regarding credit management in NCCBL, it follows some rules which are very necessary for credit management. All credit extension of the bank must comply with the requirements of the Bank Companies Act 1991 and Bangladesh Bank instructions as amended from time to time. Approach to the Bank When a borrower approaches to NCCBL for a loan s/he is required to fulfill the following criteriaa) S/he has to be a client of this bank. b) S/he needs to apply properly describing the purpose of the loan amount needed and his/her capability of repayment. After receiving the application from the client, the branch manager scans the papers and decides if s/he will be allowed for an advance or not. For this manager goes through the following process. 50


Borrower Selection In borrower selection emphasis is given firstly on 3Ms, which are a) Man b) Management c) Money. a) Man: The manager has to study the man applied for an advance. For this s/he gathers information about the applicant’s character, credit worthiness and social status. To judge the credit worthiness of borrowers NCCBL follows some basic principles of lending. These are safety, liquidity, diversification, profitability, suitability, integrity, reliability etc. The manager can obtain information from Branch Records, Credit Information Bureau (CIB) of Bangladesh Bank, Personal interviews with the client, Credit Report, Market Information, Financial Statements (Balance sheet, income statement) etc. b) Management: Management is the heart of the business concern. So a careful judgment has to be made about it. It is sought if there are enough experts and technical know how in the management of the firm. Management’s integrity is also need to be evaluated. c)

Money: If management is heart of the business concern, money is blood, which is another vital factor to survive. A credit manager needs to analyze the debt- equity ratio of the firm. S/he also needs to be sure if there are sufficient assets to recover the advance.

Financial Data Analysis Secondly, the credit manager has to compare financial statements of at least three years. For this s/he takes help of different ratios such as liquidity ratio, solvency ratio, profitability ratio and activity ratio. S/he also needs to examine bank account statement of the applicant very keenly. In addition to analysis, the manager should visit the business concern to get a true picture of it. a. Industry Analysis: In this part, the manager is required to study the business behavior, which includes market demand, competitors and government barriers. b. Lending Risk Analysis: It is a systematic and structural way to assess lending risk, which covers all the factors described above. Here a form has to be completed by the lending officer. If lending risk is found to be low, financing can be done and vice versa. 51


If the applicant is found to be OK after going through all the above process, the branch manager sends it with other necessary papers to the credit division of the Head Office with his/her own recommendation. The credit division after appraisal, sends it to the Board (in the case of amount more than 10 lac) or to the credit committee. The credit committee consists of Managing Director, one Executive Vice President and one Vice President from International Division. If the Board/ Credit Committee agree, the proposal is accepted and is sent back to the credit division. The credit division informs it the branch manager. Following this the branch manager, maintaining other law and regulation sends a sanctioning letter to the applicant.

At the same time, banks rated “ST-4” in short term are considered to 55


have below average capacity for timely repayment of obligations. Such capacity is highly susceptible to adverse changes in business, economic, or financial conditions than for obligations in higher categories.

6.3.1 Shahjalal Islamic Bank Small and Medium Enterprise (SME) Investment Operation The SME Sector has been declared by the Government as a priority sector. In our country, Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) play the pivotal role for employment generation, poverty alleviation and overall economic growth of the country. It has been observed that fund is the major constraint of this sector. Therefore, we need to inject more funds into this sector in a very planned manner to boost-up this sector for the sake of overall economic development of the country. Our country is labour abundant and SMEs are typically labour intensive. So, the sector deserves more investment facility for smooth functioning of the existing enterprises and expansion of the same with a view to retain the workforce active as well as creating more employment opportunities. Further, investment in SMEs can be very effective in reducing poverty as well as ensuring long term economic growth. Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited (SJIBL) is a modern commercial bank governed by the principles of Islamic Shariah, which is committed to implement and materialize the economic and financial principles of Islam in the banking sector. It has undertaken initiatives for investment in SME sector by introducing a number of SME products in the market gradually with a view to patronizing the trade, commerce and industrial entities with equity & justice and to make effective contribution for creating employment opportunities, which will ultimately help the nation for poverty alleviation from the society.

8.0 Findings and Conclusion Bangladesh is a developing country. Without developing banking sectors, business sector is not in a possible position to progress rapidly. Interest free banking is not a mere concept now, it is in reality. In Bangladesh have a lot of Banks there have state owned Banks, Private Banks and also have Specialized Banks. In our country a lot of commercial banks have been operating with great confidence. After study on all Banks it shows that maximum numbers of private banks are performing well. Private Banks that are incorporated in Bangladesh they are doing well where as foreign private Banks are not performing well. In many cases this study finds foreign private Banks have no activities in rural area of Bangladesh. If the consider of cover area by the bank in this situation state owned Banks are totally ahead from rest of Banks. All types of Banks provide credit but state owned banks sale credit to all sectors. Private Banks provide credit to industrial sector, SME and in some other sectors but they do not provide much credit to agricultural sectors. Foreign private Banks do not provide any amount to agricultural sector. Private Banks have a good recovery rate on credit. State Owned Banks provide loan to all sectors but their recovery rate is not in satisfactory level. Specialized Banks provide maximum credit to agricultural sector.
