Analysis & Recommendations

Strategic Objectives : 2020

SME Market Share Present Status: 6% market Share Recommendations:

Focus on the medium segment A 2% increase per year would make the share

20% at the end of 2020

Year 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020

SME Market Share 6% 8% 10% 12% 14% 16% 18% 20%


Operating Profit Present Status: 11th position in 2012 Recommendations:

Increase the ranking by 2 from 2014 to 2017 and reach 5th position

Aim for the 2nd position in 2020 Focus on Non-Funded Income such as LC


Fund Under Management Present Status: 8th position in 2012 Recommendations:

Reach 2nd position by 2020 Loans and Advances and Deposits should

grow at 30% per year Deposit mix should increase its share of CASA

so that low cost funds are more and net interest margin is higher

Strategic Objectives : 2020 Operating Cost

Present Status: 5th position in 2012 in terms of cost income ratio

Recommendations: A fundamental redesign of the way the bank operates

to reduce cost sustainably Approach: A small team should be formed from various departments of the

bank to conduct a series of bottom-up and top- down analyses to develop aggressive goals

Team: Bank’s leadership team must visibly lead the effort and must illustrate both their vision for short-term changes and their long-term view in town hall meetings, electronic newsletters, social- networking sites, and Q&A sessions for small groups

Engagement: The entire organization must be mobilized throughout the process by a systematic change program that ensures the right amount of information is communicated to the right people at the right time.


Non Performing Loans Present Status: 2nd position in 2012 Recommendations:

The credit division needs to be more careful and obtain relevant trainings if required from experts / organizations.

The collection team also needs to be more aggressive and motivated to reduce the NPL


Return on Equity Present Status: 5.47% in 2012 Recommendations:

It should be around 10% in 2013 and increase in the following way in the coming years:

Year 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020

ROE 10% 12% 14% 16% 18% 20% 22% 25%

Conclusion

Strategic Management is very important to ensure that employees and other stakeholders are working toward common goals

The bank should focus on few specific areas rather than too many targets for achieving their desired position in 2020: SME market share, Profit, FUM, Costs, NPL & ROE

BBL must think ahead of time and act ahead of competitors to retain leadership in innovative banking
