Islami Bank Bangladesh by regan rose

View with images and charts Overview of Islami Bank Bangladesh Ltd 1.1 Historical Background of IBBL In August 1974, Bangladesh signed the Charter of Islamic Development Bank and committed itself to reorganize its economic and financial system as per Islamic Shariah. In January 1981, Late President Ziaur Rahman while addressing the 3rd Islamic Summit Conference held at Macca and Taif suggested, "The Islamic countries should develop a separate banking system of their own in order to facilitate their trade and commerce." This statement of Late President Ziaur Rahman indicated favorable attitude of the Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh towards establishing Islamic banks and financial institutions in the country. Earlier in November 1982, Bangladesh Bank, the country's Central Bank, sent a representative to study the working of several Islamic Banks abroad. In November 1982, a delegation of IDB visited Bangladesh and showed keen interest to participate in establishing a joint venture Islamic Bank in the private sector. They found a lot of work had already been done and Islamic banking was in a ready form for immediate introduction. Two professional bodies, Islamic Economics Research Bureau (IERB) and Bangladesh Islamic Banker's Association (BIBA) mode significant contributions towards introduction of Islamic banking in the country. The came forward to provide training on Islamic banking to top bankers and economists to fill-up the vacuum of leadership for the future Islamic banks in Bangladesh. They also held seminars, symposia and workshops on Islamic economics and banking throughout the country to mobilize public opinion in favor of Islamic banking. Their professional activities were reinforced by a number of Muslim entrepreneurs working under the aegis of the then Muslim Businessmen society (now reorganized as industrialist & Businessmen Association). The body concentrated mainly in mobilizing equity capital for the emerging Islamic Bank. At last, the long drawn struggle, to establish an Islamic bank in Bangladesh becomes a reality. Islamic Bank Bangladesh Limited was established in March 1983. In which 19 Bangladeshi nationals, 4 Bangladeshi institutions and 11 banks, financial institutions and government bodies of the Middle East and Europe Including IDB and two eminent personalities of the kingdom of Saudi Arabia joined hands to make the dream a reality. 1.2Business Philosophy of IBBL The philosophy of IBBL is to the principles of Islamic Shariah. The Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) defines an Islamic bank as "a financial institution whose status, rules and procedures expressly state its commitment to the principles of Islamic Shariah and to the banking of the receipt and payment of interest on any of its operationsâ&#x20AC;?. The Sponsor, perception is that IBBL should be quite different from other privately owned and managed commercial bank operating in Bangladesh, IBBL to grow as a leader in the industry rather than a follower. The leadership will be in the area of service, constant effort being made to add new dimensions so that clients can get "Additional" in the matter of services commensurate with the needs and requirements of the country' growing society and developing economy.

Social Welfare Activities of Ibbl 3.1Social-welfare activities of Islam bank foundation One of the distinguishing features of Islami Bank is that its overall activities are directed towards the welfare of the society. The Bank, since its inception, has dedicated itself for the enlistment and emancipation of the helpless and downtrodden people of the society. With this end in view, the Bank has created a separate fund, which was earlier known as Sad aqua Tahbil. In 1991, the Sadaqua Tahbil was reorganized and enlarged-under the new name of 'Islami Bank Foundation' with a fund of Taka 38.00 million in order to conduct social-welfare activities on a wider scale. As one of the leading non-government voluntary organizations of the country, the Foundation has been working with unique and special programs for the welfare of distressed humanity and to make poor, downtrodden, landless and asset less people self-reliant. The aims and objectives of the Foundation are to serve distressed humanity, promote people oriented mass education, extend health and Medicare facilities to the poverty-stricken people in urban and rural areas, create facilities for productive self-employment and develop human resources for improving economic condition and quality of life, assist healthy growth of art,

culture and literature, science and technology, sports, research and propagation of Islamic teachings. The Foundation has taken up a number of schemes covering the whole of Bangladesh. Environmental Awareness At the moment IBBL has around 950 different kinds of running projects divided into 22 different industrial sectors. IBBL believes in green Industrialization. It is a common practice of our bank to take clearance from all the concerned Government Authorities to establish each project including the clearance for any kind of environmental hazards created by the specific project. IBBL takes maximum possible care to protect the environmental pollution by its projects. In this regard, IBBL encourages its Dyeing & Printing Projects to establish Effluent Treatment Plants (ETP) to protect water and soil from pollution.

Rickshaw 2. Sewing 3. Poultry Keeping 4. Rural Health Work 5. Milk Cow/Goat rearing 6. Small Trade Educational Programs Education is the backbone of a nation. Awareness building, skill training, access to information-all depends on education. But it is regrettable that the rate of literacy is still very low in Bangladesh. Most of the children are deprived of the light of education due to poverty, lack of sufficient educational institutions, non-availability of textbooks etc. In a ward, the unfavorable socio-economic conditions are responsible for this chaotic situation. The Foundation has, therefore, taken up the following programs to improve the country's educational scenario: a) Support to Model Forqania Maktab b) Scholarship/lump grant for poor and Meritorious Students

c) Financial support to Educational Institutions Health and Medicare Programs Health and Medicare facilities are the basic and fundamental rights of each individual but most of the people of our country are still deprived of it.

Two such Service centers (in Noakhali and Manikgonj) have already been established. E. Islami Bank Institute of Technology The large number of unemployed youth of, the country may be turned as assets through taking up Human Resource Development (HRD) Programme. The youths with skills in various sectors of technology may become self-employed in the land and can also get employment opportunities abroad.

H. Centre for Development Dialogue Alongside with the governmental efforts at National level and multilateral and bi-lateral institutions at the international level, Non Govt. Organizations (NGOs) in different parts of the world especially in the developing countries are playing increasing role in experimentation with Development models. Most of the organizations unfortunately, fry with development techniques from a standpoint, which often turn antagonistic to the belief and social norms of the people. The renowned foreign and national NGOs have their established training centre(s) where they train their own people and rent out the facilities to others. Islami Bank Foundation has decided to establish a training centre of its own named Centre for Development Dialogue" which will create opportunity for imparting training facilities for its own staff members as well as the staff members of other development organizations. Besides the above-mentioned project, the Foundation runs projects like: (i) Legal Aid Project for the welfare and Legal support to victims and their family members, holding of seminars and symposium on the rights of the vulnerable (women, children, disabled etc.), opinion mobilization against various forms of social ills etc. (ii) Talimul Quran Project for propagating the teaching of the Holy Qur'an.

The principles of calculation and distribution of profit to Mudaraba Depositors generally followed by different Islami Banks are as under: 1.

Mudaraba Depositors share income derived from investment activities i.e. from the use of fund.

Mudaraba Depositors do not share any income derived from miscellaneous banking services where the use of fund is not involved, such as commission, exchange, service charges and other fees realized by the Bank in connection with sale and purchase of Demand Drafts, Telegraphic Transfers and Mail Transfers etc.

Profit and loss resulting from the use of funds is separately maintained in the accounts from other income and expenditure relating to other activities and

services offered by the Bank.

Mudaraba Deposits get priority in the matters of investment over Bank's equity and other cost free funds.

Mudaraba Depositors do not share any income derived from investing Bank's equity and other cost free fund.

The amount of the statutory cash reserve and the liquidity reserve, which are required to be maintained with Bangladesh Bank, is deducted from the aggregate balance of Mudaraba Deposits to arrive at the net balance of profit sharing deposit.

The gross income derived from investments during the accounting year is, at first, allocated to Mudaraba Deposits and cost-free-funds according to their proportion in the total investment.

The share of gross investment income of Mudaraba Deposits as worked out in terms of principle shown against serial No 7 above is distributed as under:

Minimum sixty-five (65) percent is distributed to Mudaraba Depositors applying the rates of weight age shown below. Mudaraba Depositors' share of sixty-five (65) percent of gross investment income might further be raised by the Bank's Management at its discretion to rationalize the Rates of profit to Mudaraba Depositors but it would not be reduced during any accounting year without giving prior declaration.

The rest amount of gross investment income is retained by the Bank as management fee for managing the investment & for making reserve for Bad & doubtful investments.

Islami Bank Bangladesh Ltd, at present, applies the following weight ages to Mudaraba Deposits. Differential rates of weight ages have been assigned to Mudaraba Depositors on account of the following factors:

10.

a) Period of Deposits

The longer the period of deposit, the greater the risk they bear with regard to fluctuation of the rates of profit and erosion of the value of deposit due to inflation. The Term Depositors have also to forgo profit in case of premature encashment. b) Banking Facilities The Term Depositors do not enjoy any banking facility such as, operating accounts by cheques, transfer of account from one branch to another, collection of cheques and other instruments, executing standing instructions through their accounts and so on and so forth. On the other hand, the PLS Savings Depositors have freedom to get the above services through their accounts. PLS Short Notice Depositors enjoy still greater facilities in regard to making deposits in and withdrawal from their accounts. c) The pattern of Rates of Return on various types of cost bearing deposits of the traditional Banks in our Money Market have also an important bearing on allocation of weight age at different rates. d)

In consideration of the above factors, full weight age has been assigned to our Mudaraba Deposits of 36 months and relatively lower Weight ages have been given to Mudaraba Deposits of lower periods, Mudaraba Savings and Mudaraba Short Notice Deposits.

B. Musharakah: The terms "Shirkat" and Musharaka" have been derived from Arabic worlds "Shairkah" and "Sharika". The world shirkah means a partnership between more than one partner. Thus the word "Musharaka" and "Shirkat" mean a partnership established between two or more partners for purpose of a commercial venture participated both in the capital and management. Where the profit may be shared between the partners as per agreed upon ratio and the loss. If any incurred, is to be borne by the partners ad per capital/equity ratio. In this case of Investment, "Musharaka" meaning a partnership between the Bank and the Client for a particular business in which both the Bank and the client provide capital at an agreed upon ratio and manage the business jointly. Share the rent as per agreed upon ratio and bear the loss, if any, in proportion to their respective equity.

Profit is divided as per agreement and actual loss is divided as per equity, iii. Client will maintain all accounts properly bank or its agent may verify or audit it. iv. Banks can advice the client in such a business in respect of the business. Types of Shirkat & Quard-E-Hasana : Shirkat, in the terminology of Islamic Fiqh, is mainly of two types: i. ii.

Shirkat -al-Meelk ( Non-contractual) and Shirkat-al-'Uqud (Contractual)

i) Shirkat-al-Meelk (Non-Contractual) Shirkat-al-Meelk (Non-contractual) is created by means of inheritance, wili, or other circumstances resulting joint ownership of two or more persons in a particular asset / property in common. The owners or partners share the asset / property and the returns arising there from as per their ownership ratio. For example, it two persons receive an inheritance or gift of property which may or may not be divisible, the persons have to share the property and its income, if any, accordance with their share in it until they divide it (if divisible) or sell it (if indivisible). Shitkat-ni-Meelk (Non-contractual) is further divided into two types: i. Shirkat-al-Meelk bil Ikhtiyariayyah (Voluntary) and ii. Shirkat-al-Meelk bil Jabriyya (Involuntary) Shirkat-al-Meelk bil Ikhtiyar iyyah (Voluntary)

If the partners do not take their shares dividing the asset / property under joint ownership though it is divisible and agreed to keep it under joint ownership, then this type of Shirkat is called Shirkat-al-Meelk bil Ikhtiyar iyyah (Voluntary). Shirkat-al-Meek bil Jabriyyah (Involuntary) If the asset / property under joint ownership is not divisible and the partners are bound to keep it under joint ownership, then it is called Shirkat-al-Meelk bil Jabriyyah (Involuntary) Shirkat-ai-'Uqud (Contractual) This is the second type of Shirkat, which means, "a partnership effected by a mutual contract" where two or more persons agree to contribute in the capital (Capital may be in the form of cash, commodities, machineries, properties, expertise, goodwill etc.) , participate in the management, share its profit, and bear the loss, if any. Shirkat-al-'Uqud (Contractual) is further divided into four kinds: i. Shirkat-al-Mufawadah (full authority and obligation) ii. Shirkat-al-lnan (restricted authority and obligation) iii. Shikat-ai-Addan (Labor, skill and management) and iv. Shikat-al-wujuh (goodwill, credit-worthiness and contacts) Shirkat-al-Mufawadah Shirkat-al-Mufawadah is a partnership is a partnership in which all the partners are adults, all of them are equal in their capital contribution, ability to undertake responsibility in the management and thus share the profits/ losses, have full authority to act on behalf of the others and are jointly and severally responsible for the liabilities of their Musharaka business incurred in the ordinary course of business. Thus each partner can be an Agent for the business and stands for surety or guarantor for the other partners. The partners act as agents but not as sureties for other parties. Thus their liability towards third party is several and not joint. Shikat-al-lnan In Shikat -al-lnan it is not necessary that all partners be adult. Moreover, it is not a precondition either to supply equal capital or to share the profit/loss equally by each partner. They are not equally responsible for the management of the business also. Thus shirkat-al-lnan means a partnership contract between two or more individuals or institutions in which all the partners may invest capital in unequal proportion, may undertake the responsibility for the management of the business unequally, may share the profit in proportion to their respective capital contribution or as per terms of contract and bear the loss in proportion with their respective capital contribution. Shirkat-al-Abdan

This is a partnership contract in which two or more persons contribute their skills and efforts for management of the business without contributing the capital and income earned from the business is distributed among the partners according to pre-agreed ratio. For example, if two persons agree to undertake tailoring services for their customers on the condition that the wages so earned will go to a joint pool which shall be distributed between them irrespective of the size of the work each partner has actually done. This type of partnership is shirkat-alAbdan, which is also called shirkat-al-Taqabbul or shirkat-us-Sana. Shirkat-al-Wujuh It is a contract between two or more persons who have goodwill, creditworthiness and prestige and who are expert In trading. Here the partners have no capital investment at all. Ail they do is that they purchase the commodities on credit and sell the same for cash. The profit so earned is distributed between them at a pre-agreed ratio. Compensation: Musharaka agreement may include a clause to the effect that if any partner violates any rules Musharaka or any terms & conditions of Musharaka agreement, the business or other partners will have the right to impose compensation on him as determined by the arbitration Committee of the Bank. QUARD-E- HASANA: Quard means loan without interest and Hasana means beautiful. Quard-e-Hasana implies beautiful loan on good faith or beneficial loan. Islamic Banks do not recover any charge, even service, from Quard-e-Hasana account. Loanee has to repay the principal amount. This loan facility in extended only to deserving cases on compassionate grounds and special welfare consideration. The principal amount is refundable within a reasonable time. Islamic Banks grant this loan not only for consumption purpose but also for owning factor(s) of production. The ultimate objects of both the consumption and production Quard-e-Hasana are to enable the loanees to support economic problems.In Islamic Banks, an investment is created against pledge of Mudaraba Term Deposit Receipt (MTDR). Generally, 80% of the MTDR is allowed to the holder for Halal activities without any profit. Only a minimum service charge (in IBBL Tk. 200/-) per deal. It is called Quard against Term Deposit Receipt (QTDR). Quard against TDR: While allowing Quard against TDRs the following points are kept in mind: 1.

sanction. A margin on TDR as per practice/instruction of HO/Bangladesh Bank may be kept on TDR. Proper lien should be marked on the TDR ledger to safeguard any fraudulent encashment of the TDR. Concerned TDR duly discharged on revenue stamp will have to be taken as security.

IBBL has the 2nd prize of National Export Fare for its pavilion of Service organization Credit Rating of the Bank Credit Rating Information and Services ltd (CRISL) has submitted its report on financial year 2002, 2003, 2004,2005 & also 2006 and assigned A+(Adequate Safety) for term rating scale for 2002 &2003, and upgraded the same to AA-(High Safety) for 2004 &2005 and further upgraded the rating to AA(High Safety) in 2006. National and International ratings of IBBL IBBLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Past performances have been evaluated by Bangladesh Bank, several credit rating agencies home & abroad and by the local press. International Press "In the midst of a difficult Banking system known to be plagued by high non-performing loans (NPLs), one could easily conclude that it would be difficult to find a bank that is different from norm. However, IBBL provides a refreshing change and is, thus, a pleasant surprise. Although it does not command the market share as the 4 public sector banks, IBBL, which claims to have little interference in lending from the government, has nonetheless, managed to find a niche market of its own-says the 'BANK ATCH' a New York based international Credit Rating Agency in its January 30, 1998 issue. "As a market leader offering banking services based on the Islamic rule of Shariah, IBBL's profitability trend has been quite impressive. The Bank's ability to keep its return on asset (RQA) well above the industry's average reflected its resilience to possible shocks in the banking system. Concerns over massive NPLs and under provisioning are common amongst local banks. But this seems well resolved in IBBL. IBBL's good performance and solid capital base have indeed provided refreshing change found within a banking system saddled and held back by huge NPLs" the above agency continued to comment in the same issue. National Press

"It is one of a few local banks according to CAMEL (Capital, Assets, Management, and Earnings & Liquidity) rating made by the Bangladesh Bank. It holds the highest amount of liquidity among all banks and its ability to keep return on assets at 1.07 percent is well above the banking sector's average of 0.33 percent"-The Financial Express, Dhaka commented in its issue of May 28,1998. IBBL was awarded as the best domestic bank in Bangladesh in 1999 & 2000 by the Global Finance, an internationally reputed financial magazine published from U.K. "The Holiday" in its 29 August 1997 issue carried out a report under the heading "Setting a precedence of sound banking" and commented "While the country's banking system is burdened with bad debt portfolios and also suffers from a liquidity shortage, the Islami Bank Bangladesh Ltd. (IBBL) has created a unique precedence by improving its reserve and deposit positions substantially, making handsome profits, and offering attractive dividends to its share holders and depositors." IBBL's World rating As per Bankers' Almanac (January 1999 edition) published by the Reed Business Information, Windsor Court, England, IBBL's world Rank is 1902 among 4500 banks selected by them.

Three components should due to basic difference in be ensured- existence of goods, having the principle, no type of loans possession/ ownership/title and transfer of and advances can be ownership. As per clients order bank will compared with trading procure the goods and then sell to the clients modes. However, there is with adding profit. Quotation, cash memo an apparent similarity at and other papers (if any) should be in favor operational level of the of bank to ensure procurement of goods. trading mechanism with

Goods once sold cannot be resold i.e. in case of payment failure bank cannot charge on the goods already sold. In practice, bank charge compensation to control willful default which is not realized as income in bank’s books of accounts. Customary trading modes are Bai Muajjal, Bai Mudaraba and Bai Salam

the cash credit (hypothecation and pledge) of conventional banks. But the concept of buying and selling between bank and client is absolutely absent. Compound interest is charged and for in case of failure of payment

02. Under Shirkat modes: Shirkat modes are Mudaraba and Conventional banks do not MUsharaka.Mudaraba principle is the same practice these types of as mentioned in case of deposit mechanism mobilization.Musharaka is the equity participation of both the parties involved. Under Musharaka profit is shared as per agreement and loss is shared per equity. Musharaka business can be formed with or without participation in management. 03.Under Hire purchase mode Islamic banks are operating a special type of mechanism called HPSM- a mechanism derived through the combination of HP and Musharaka. There are three contracts (Purchase, sale and rent contract) to be performed under the HPSM mode. Ownership is gradually transferred to the client after payment of each installment. Rent is not clurged and accounted for in gestation period

In conventional banks, HP is practiced. Two contracts (Purchase and sale) are performed between bank and client. On payment of the last installment, ownership is transferred to the client. Interest is accounted for at gestation period

04.Overdrafts,Packing Credit, Demand Loans, Purchase of demand drafts: These are well practiced by In Islamic banking, there is no provision to conventional banks practice the mentioned modes due to the involvement of interest. However working capital needs can be met through the mechanism mentioned earlier under Islamic banking.  05.

The Islamic banks mobilize deposit on Mudaraba and Al- Wadiah basis under Islamic Shariah, while conventional banks do this on prefixed interest basis. The depositors of Islamic banks are business partners of the bank and they share the profit / loss of the business. But the Conventional banks use the fund of depositors against fixed interest. Conventional bank may utilize their surplus fund in any interest-based securities/ bonds while, Islamic bank can do the same. Inn absence of Islamic Instrument Requirement (CRR) and Statutory Liquidity ratio of Islamic banks should be different from those of conventional bank. 2) It is obligatory for Islamic banks as per Shariah to pay Zakat while Conventional banks do not act on such obligation. In the bank Company Act, 1991 there is no provision to pay Zakat by the Islamic bank. 3) The Islamic banks deploy their funds as per different modes of investment/Financing approved by Islamic Sharaih. Most of the investment 4) Islamic banks are on Bai-Mode. In this mode Banks sell specified goods to the client on cost plus agreed upon profit or at a negotiable price within the fixed period, Islamic bank canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t impose or realize additional amount as income of the bank. But the Conventional bank can continue to charge interest. Even they can charge and realize penal interest as income of the bank. The other ideal modes of Islamic banks are Musharaka and Mudaraba, In Mudaraba modes Islami banks share the profit with the client. If the any loss incurred, all the loss is borne by Islamic bank. On the other hand, the earnings of Conventional bank is prefixed and certain which continue till final payment. As business partner, the asset quality of Islamic bank is different and better. So the classification and provisioning rules should be separate for Islamic bank 5) As activities and operation of Islamic Banks, particularly investment port-folio is completely separate from that of Conventional banks the act and procedures for initiation of legal action against the default clients should be separate under the frame work of Islamic Jurisprudence. 6) Inspection of Islamic bank is made as per system adopted for Conventional bank and sometimes by the inspectors within having knowledge of Islamic system and law. The

Inspection of Isalmic bank should be done with a view to identifying both general and shariah lapses by the persons having good knowledge of Islamic Shariah and baking. 7) The instruction/guideline given by Bangladesh bank to Islamic banks should be different from that of Conventional banks as the operation of these two types of banks are completely different in nature. 8) As per section 35 of bank company act, 1991 any unclaimed amount is to be paid to Bangladesh Bank with interest after ten years, which is not compatible with Sharaiah. In such situation, Islamic banks face difficulties in setting such unclaimed amount. 9) In Malaysia and Indonesia where Islamic bank flourished, those are governed by separate act from the very beginning. 10) The Mudaraba depositors of Islamic banks are agreeable to share the loss, if any, arises out of investment operation. So, the investment made out of Mudaraba deposit should be excluded in calculating risk-weighted asset for which separate Islamic banking Act is essential. 7.3 Islamic Banking vis a vis Conventional Banking Theoretical discussions on Islamic banking and finance have established that a system based on profit sharing is not only viable but also has a number of advantages over the interestbased system. In this section, I evaluate the Islamic Banking model. Equity: Islam is a religion, which emphasizes justice to all parties. A contract based on interest involves injustice to one of the parties, sometimes to the lender and sometimes to the borrower. The riba contract is unjust to the borrower because if somebody takes a loan and uses it in his business, he may earn a profit or he may end up in a loss. Now, in the case of loss the person using that money let me call him entrepreneur, loses his labor. In addition to this loss, he has to pay interest and the capital to the lender. The lender, or the financier, in spite of the fact that the business of the enterprise has ended up in a los, gets his money as well as his contract can be injustices to the lender. Many people do not realize that a riba contract can be unjust to the lender and always so the borrower. In most of the underdeveloped countries, perhaps it is more unjust to the lender. I will explain how. In most of the underdeveloped countries and even in many developed countries, most of the borrower today is big capitalist. They pay may be 10% or 15% rate of interest. We know that if the rate of inflation is higher than that, then the real rate of interest becomes negative. The lenders are usually small saver like you and me. Bank collect the saving of all small savers and pass them on to the industrialists who earn a rate of 50%-100% profit but pay back only 10-15% rate of interest which in real sense is not even equivalent to the rate of inflation. Based on that rate of interest and of course minus the administrative expenses of the bank and their own margin, the bank pas on the difference to the lender. This is why the bank gives very small rate of return to the small savers. In an inflationary environment, the real rate of interest is even negative. Therefore, had these savings been invested based on profit sharing, they would have got much better return.

On the basis of pure economic reasoning, Islamic banking is superior to an interest based arrangement because it ensures equity between the borrower and the lender. Both parties share the accrued return, which the project generates. Let me also mention here that in most of the countries even in a country like United State. Which is the front-runner of capitalist model; there are regulations, which place upper limits on the rate of interest. On famous regulation of this kind was Regulation in United State which has now been scrapped but still there are rules in many countries which place an upper limit on the rate of interest that the bank can pay. Now we can know that the rate of inflation in many countries is more than 50%. In the Latin American country, sometimes the rate of inflation has been 1000%. In some Muslim countries, also the rate of inflation is quite high. In early 80â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the rate of inflation in Turkey was more than 50% and never in the history the arte of interest has gone anywhere near this rate. The rate of interest cannot adjust automatically with the rate of inflation and hence the lenders are at a disadvantage. In profit sharing system as the prices increase, the rate of return of the project also increases along with the rate of inflation. Thus, the real of return does not become negative due to inflation. At the level of an economy, the real rate of return is always positive. There may be a few enterprises, which end up in a loss but largely in a growing economy the rate of return remains positive. Therefore, both the borrowers and lenders will share that rate of return in an equitable manner. Allocative Efficiency: A profit sharing system is also more efficient. It is more efficient because the Islamic banks would be interested in the productivity of the project. As I jus mentioned, in an interest-based system the sole criteria for the distribution of credit is the credibility of the borrower. In Islamic banking, the productivity of the project is more important. Therefore, the finances will go to more productivity projects. In his way, the resources instead of going to low return projects of people having credibility will flow to high return project even if the credibility of the borrower is lower. Therefore, the system is more efficient in allocation of resources. It is more efficient because the bankâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interest is now linked to the project. Incase of interestbased system, banks need not care much about project evaluation. Their interest is with the borrower. Incase of profit sharing they have interest in the project itself. Therefore, they will evaluate the project very carefully and allocate fund to, more efficient projects. Thirdly, since the return of Islamic banks depends on the success of the project, they may also contribute in the management of the project. Since they are specialized in the area of finance and investment, their expertise will improve the profitability of the project Stability of banking System: The third criterion usually I talk about in economics is stability. From the stability point of view also, the Islamic banking model is more stable than conventional banking.(here I am talking about the stability of the banking system and not of the economy.) In an interest-based system, there is lack of symmetry in the cash flow of the banks and the cash flow of the enterprise. The entrepreneurs or the businesspersons have to give a fixed interest to the banks that has no relationship to the actual return of the project. Therefore, of the project is not going well in some stage of project or in the entire life of the project, there develops an asymmetry between the cash inflow and cash outflow of the project. That creates instability in the entire business sector. From the other end, the bankers also lack equilibrium in their asset side and the liability side because their asset is fixed while their liabilities are variable. When there is any external shock, there is no automatic mechanism,

which can restore between assets and liabilities of the bank. In case of an Islamic system, the liabilities of the bank are on the basis of assets side as well as the liability side of the banksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; balance sheet. Growth: The fourth criterion on which economist usually judge a scheme is that of growth. From growth point of view, also the Islamic banking system is better than the Conventional banking system for the following reasons. Firstly, Islamic banking model promotes innovation. Innovation is not something on which the big Industrialist has monopoly. Anybody can be enterprising. Anybody can have a good idea. In Islamic banking, if a small or middleclass entrepreneur has a better project, he has, one- a possibility of getting it financed and, two- he will not be held back by the fear of tremendous risks. We know that innovators involve risks. Since risk is shared between the financier and entrepreneur, Islamic banking system results in a better distribution of only his labor and the bank is risking its capital. Therefore, ingenious entrepreneur will be forthcoming and innovation will be promoted. Secondly, conditions of the cost of capital, one of the determinants of the rate of investment in any economy, are more favorable under the Islamic system. The cost of capital in an interest-based system, which is the rate of interest, is fixed. In an Islamic economy, the cost of capital varies with productivity. There is no fixed cost of capital. In the period when there is a recessionary trend in the economy, productivity goes down. Thus, it does not have that deterrent effect on investment, which a fixed cost of capital has. Therefore, even in that period, relatively speaking there will be greater investment in an Islamic economy or in the profit sharing economy as compared to an interest based economy. So, for these reason, from the growth point of view also, Islamic banking system fares better. Superiority of Islamic Banking system over the Conventional banking system While Islamic banks perform mostly the same function as the conventional banks, they do it in distinctly different manners. Some of the distinguishing features of Islamic banking are given below Risk sharing: The moist important feature of Islamic is that it promotes risk sharing between the providers of funds (Investor) and the user of fund (entrepreneur). By contrast, under conventional banking the investor is assured of a predetermined rate of interest. Since the nature of this world is uncertain, the results of any project are not known with certainly ex-ante. Therefore, there is always some risk involved. In conventional banking all, this risk is borne by the entrepreneur. Whether the project succeeds and produces a profit or fails and produces a loss the owner of capital gets away with a predetermined return. In Islam, this kind of unjust distribution is not allowed and hence in Islamic baking both the investor and entrepreneur shares the result of the project in an equitable way. Incase of profit, both shares it in preagreed proportion. In case of loss, all financial loss is borne by the capitalist and the entrepreneur loses his labor. Emphasis on productivity as compared to credit worthiness:

Under conventional banking, all that maters to a bank is that its loan and interest thereupon are paid to it on time. Therefore, in granting loans the dominant consideration is the credit worthiness of the borrower. Under profit loss, sharing banking the bank will receive a return only if the project succeeds and produces a profit. Therefore, an Islamic bank will be more concerned with the soundness of the project and the business acumen and managerial competence of the entrepreneur. This feature has important implication for the distribution of credit as well as the stability of the system. Moral dimension: The conventional banking is secular in its orientation. As against this in the Islamic system, all economic agents have to work within the moral value system of Islam. Islamic Bank is no exception. As such, they cannot finance any project, which conflicts with the moral value system of Islam. For example, they will not finance a wine factory, a casino, a nightclub or any other activity, which is prohibited by Islam or is known to be harmful for the society Conclusion and Recommendation Conclusion IBBL was established as a public limited banking company in Bangladesh in 1983 as the first interest free shariah based scheduled commercial bank in South East Asia. Naturally, its modus operandi is substantially different from those of other commercial Banks. The Bank conducts its business on the shariah principles of Mudaraba, Musharaka, Bai- Murabaha, Bai- Muajjal, Higher purchase under shirkatul melk and bai-Salam etc. A shariah council in the bank ensures that the activities of the bank are being conducted on the precepts of Islam. Islami Bank Bangladesh Ltd. is regarded as the pioneer in the private sector Islami Banking of Bangladesh. The success of IBBL is largely credited to its first Islami Banking system in Bangladesh. Their market share is also high from other banks. Their internal rules and regulation is also different from other banks. Their customer is very much impressive. The bank is committed to run all its activities as per Islamic Shariah. IBBL through its steady progress and continued success has, by how, earned the reputation of being one of the leading private sector Banks of the county. The bank has shown steady progress in this important sector. Main items of imports (by the help of IBBL) are machinery, garments, fabrics and accessories, ships for scraping, rice pharmaceuticals etc. Whereas main items of exports are jute goods, readymade garments, leather, frozen fish, fertilizer, etc. Still now hear about 301 Islamic banking and financial institutions in about 49 countries of Asia, Africa, Europe, America and countries like Pakistan, U.K., U.S.A., Germany, Argentina, Denmark, Luxembourg, Switzerland and India have been established. The banking system of Pakistan and Iran was totally remodeled On the basis of Islamic Shariah services. IBBL will be more effective in our economy by launching new financial 'products to attract depositor as consumer credit scheme, pension scheme, child education scheme, plastic money ATM etc.

So now, the Islami Bank Bangladesh Ltd. is in leading position in Financial Institutional sectors in Bangladesh. Recommendation o o o o o o o

o o

Giving better customer’s service Full computerization of all activities Supply of new PC is in place of old one. Sufficient number of PC needed for proper working. Interior decoration should be introduced for clients comfort. Modern courses on banking should be included in job training. It is necessary to strengthen the motivational programs including the internal sitting to create the sense of accountability hereafter for all out compliance of Shariah in Islamic Banking among all concerned including official, employees and clients. It is necessary to give clear ideas about Islamic Banking to investment clients, especially new investment clients before allowing them investment at the branch level. Branch manager, Second officer and investment officer may play a vital role in this regard. It is necessary to introduce other investment modes side by side the buying and selling mode of Bai Mudaraba, Bai Muajjal, Bai Salam and Istisna etc, according to the nature of modern trade and commerce complying with the basic principles of Islamic Shariah It is essential to continue al out effort for widening the Agricultural and Medium Investment Scheme to bring the Islamic Banking facilities to the doors of the mass people To take necessary steps for opening separate lady’s counters run by lady official to render Shariah compliant services to the women clients at the Branches

FINDINGS  IBBL is the pioneer of Islamic Banking Business in the Private sector  The Customer service is very much impressive than of other financial institutions.  Foreign exchange is the major contributor to its earnings.  Remittances, both local and foreign are effective manner of customer service.  Workers are so much honest The overall performance is good.
