Executive Summary
This study aims at measuring and comparing the financial performance of three branches of
National Bank Limited in Bangladesh. In a competitive financial market bank performance is
very important because it provides signal to depositors and investors whether to invest or
withdraw funds from the bank. Similarly, it flashes direction to bank managers whether to
improve its deposit service or loan service or both to improve its finance. Regulator is also
interested to know for its regulation purposes. Specifically two objectives were pointed out in
these study as to analyze comparative branch financial performance among three branches in
the light of growth and profitability performance and evaluate comparative branch financial
performance among three branches in the light of employee performance.
For comparative branch performance analysis three branches are being selected. For the
organization part, much information has been collected both from the primary sources and as
well as from the secondary sources. The bank personnel usually don’t want to disclose all the
statistical information about their organization due to obvious reasons of scrutiny and
confidentiality. Time is another major limitations the duration of the program was 45 days only
and being a temporary member of the organization.
The emergence of National Bank Limited in the private sector was an important event in the
Banking arena of Bangladesh. When the nation was in the grip of severe recession, the
government took the farsighted decision to allow the private sector to revive the economy of
the country. Several dynamic entrepreneurs came forward for establishing a bank with a motto
to revitalize the economy of the country.
Among three branches Kaliakoir branch performed very well in term of collecting deposits. By
providing large amount of advances to import business, Bogra branch sanctioned excess loans
and advances from its budgeted ones. Kaliakoir branch achieved high growth rate profit among
three branches due to increase in interest received from loans and advances, increase in interest
received from IBTA and there was no interest paid on IBTA. Growth rate of per employee
deposit in Kaliakoir branch was high which was being meant high employee performance
comparison among three branches. Bogra branch was high employee performance in terms of
per employee advances. In terms of per employee profit-loss Kaliakoir branch was high
employee performance among three branches. Overall performance of Kaliakoir branch of
National Bank Limited was high among three branches in terms of growth and profitability
performance and employee performance of a branch. Bogra branch of NBL should give equal
focus on all schemes of deposit. On the other hand Pabna branch of NBL should give a good
attention regarding loan and advances sanction. Bogra branch should decrease its interest
payment on IBTA and operating expense in order to turn back increasing profit trends.
Employees of Bogra branch should more concentrate on their customer segments, markets,
product-use profiles and financial position of loan seeker in order to reduce loan loss.
However, National Bank Limited is a new generation Bank. It is committed to provide high
quality financial services or products to contribute to the growth of GDP of the country through
stimulating trade and commerce, accelerating the pace of industrialization, boosting up export,
creating employment opportunity for the educated youth, poverty alleviation, raising standard
of living of limited income group and overall sustainable socio-economic development of the
country.

Chapter I: Introduction
This study aims at measuring and comparing the financial performance of three branches along
with my internship placement Kaliakoir branch of National Bank Limited in Bangladesh
through extensive use of financial ratios that mainly indicate the growth and profitability
performance analysis and employee performance analysis.
The concept of financial performance and its measurement is well advanced within finance and
management fields. Generally, the financial performance of banks and other financial
institutions has been measured using a combination of financial ratios analysis, benchmarking,
measuring performance against budget or a mix of these methodologies (Avkiran, 1995).
Financial ratio analysis involves methods of calculating and interpreting financial ratios to
analyze and monitor firm’s performance. The basic inputs to ratio analysis are the firm’s
income statement and balance sheet. The study findings can be helpful for management of NBL
also for three branches of NBL to improve their financial performance and formulate policies
that will improve their performance in future.
1.1 Background of the Study
There is a far gap between theoretical knowledge and practical field. Internship program has
been launched mainly to bridge this gap. The internship is a part of the Bachelor Business
Administration (BBA) degree that provides the job experience to students. I was placed at
National Bank Limited, Kaliakoir Branch, Gazipur as an internee for 45 days duration.
The presented report of internship named “A Comparative Financial Performances Analysis of
Three Branches of National Bank Limited” is originated from the partial fulfillment of the
Bachelor Business Administration (BBA) degree conducted by the Department Of
Management, University Of Dhaka. During the internship program, I was under the faculty
supervisor Dr. Syed Golam Maola, Professor, Department Of Management, University Of
Dhaka and organizational supervisor Md. Liton Khan, Executive Officer, National Bank
Limited, Kaliakoir Branch, Gazipur.
1.2 Objectives

branches of National Bank Limited.

of employee performance.
3
1.3 Scope
This particular subject is extremely extensive in nature. To evaluate comparative the financial
performance among three branches of National Bank Limited it is being required to three
branches as a whole. This report tried to concentrate only on the financial performance issues
while evaluation of the performance measures also requires some other considerations. The
study findings can be helpful for management of National bank ltd. always for branch manager
to improve their financial performance and formulate policies that will improve overall their
performance. The study also identified specific areas for bank to work on which can ensure
sustainable growth for these banks.
1.4 Limitations
Comparing and analyzing the broad performance of three branches of a bank are not that easy.
Moreover due to obvious reasons of scrutiny and confidentiality, the bank personnel usually
don’t want to disclose all the statistical information about their organization. Time is another
major limitation s the duration of the program was 45 days only and being a temporary member
of the organization, it was not possible on my part to notice or express some of the sensitive
issues and other aspects. However the some of the limitations I have face while preparing this
report are listed as follows:
Time Limitation: To complete the study, time was limited by 45 days. It was really
very short time to know details about an organization like National Bank Ltd.
Inadequate Data: Lack of available information about export & import business
operations of National Bank Ltd. Because of the unwillingness of the busy key persons,
necessary data collection became hard. The employees are extremely busy to perform
their duty.
Lack of Record: Large-scale study was not possible due to constrains and restrictions
posed by the organization. Unavailability of sufficient written documents as required
making a comprehensive study. In many cases up-to-date information was not
available.

Chapter II: Methodology
While conducting the study, sources were explored for primary information and data. But
hardly any updated data could be found. In the absence of updated information or data
dependence on secondary data has been inevitable. However, whenever possible primary data
has been used. Data were also collected by interviewing the responsible officers and from some
documents & statements printed by the National Bank Limited. Personnel of Kaliakoir Branch,
National Bank Limited also helped me in collecting data providing books and Bank’s annual
report.

The following sources have been used for the purpose of gathering and collecting data as
required.
2.1.1 Primary sources of data
Collecting data directly from the practical field is called primary source of data. Sources of
Primary data are follows:
a) Face to face conversation with respective officers of the NBL.
b) Personal interview with respective officers of the NBL.
c) Practical experience gained during internship period
2.1.2 Secondary sources of data
Collecting data indirectly from the practical field is called Secondary data. Sources of
Secondary data are follows:

This is a descriptive report mainly aiming to evaluate financial performance three selected
branches of NBL in the term of growth and profitability performance and employee
performance. The data gathered from both primary and secondary sources were arranged
orderly to get a clear picture of three branches financial performance of NBL. To evaluate and
analyze the financial performance mainly trend analysis and ratio analysis technique are being

Chapter IV: Corporate Financial Performance
4.1 Introduction
A corporation's operating performance is frequently measured using accounting ratios such as
return on sales and return on investment. These ratios provide a great deal of information about
a firm's financial performance of by means of comparisons with prior years' performance and
with other companies in the same industry. Nevertheless, there are limitations to the use of
these measures. One is that financial ratios may fail to consider the value of management's
actions and investment decisions taken with the intent of affecting future as opposed to current
performance. For example, a business that defers such things as maintenance and research and
development can appear to be performing well based on accounting ratios even though these
actions may impair the future performance of the business. Another limitation is that
accounting ratios aggregate many aspects of performance such as financing, marketing, and
production.
A firm may appear to be performing well even if it is poorly managed on certain of these
dimensions as long as it compensates by performing particularly well on other dimensions.
Financial performance analysis of a company is very important to get an overall view about an
organization. It generally consists of interpretation of balance sheet and interpretation of
income statement. By using these two sources one can perform the ratio analysis and trend
analysis which are the major tools for analyzing the financial performance of a bank. National
Bank Limited (NBL) setting new standards in the banking arena in the time of turbulent
economic conditions. As part of the long term financial reform and modernization plan of the
government, the bank had been converted into a public limited company.

Financial performance analysis of NBL consists of interpretation of balance sheet and
interpretation of income statement. Only four indicators loans to deposits ratio, returns on
assets, returns on equity and earning per share are mainly interpreted in this study. These are
interpreted in below:
4.2.1 Loans to deposits Ratio (LDR)1
Loan to deposit is the most important ratio to measure the liquidity condition of the bank. Here,
loan means the advances for the conventional banks. Bank with Low LDR is considered to
have excessive liquidity, potentially lower profits, and hence less risk as compared to the bank
with high LDR. However, high LDR indicates that a bank has taken more financial stress by
making excessive loans and also shows risk that to meet depositors’ claims bank may have to
sell some loans at loss. A high figure denotes lower liquidity.
Figure 4.2.1 Loans to Deposit Ratio (LDR) trends
In perspective of bank total deposits percentage of total loans calculate. Higher the ratio means
less liquid and taking more risk. So bank has to maintain certain ratio for following the central
bank policy and keep sustainable position in the competitive market. Bank total loan against
deposit was 90% in 2011 which reached highest point around this period and minimum 78.03%
in year 2013. Lower rate of ratio means more liquidity of bank. According to above graph
indicate that is NBL current LDR well consistent compare previous years. Liquidity position
of this bank improved the ratio that refers bank has more liquidity than other time compare to
present.

4.2.2 Return on Assets (ROA)2
The return on assets ratio, often called the return on total assets, is a profitability ratio that
measures the net income produced by total assets during a period by comparing net income to
the average total assets. Return on Assets (ROA) shows the ability of management to acquire
deposits at a reasonable cost and invest them in profitable investments (Ahmed, 1995).
Generally, a higher ratio means better managerial performance and efficient utilization of the
assets of the firm and lower ratio is the indicator of inefficient use of assets. ROA can be
increased by Banks either by increasing profit margins or asset turnover but they can’t do it
simultaneously because of competition and trade-off between turnover and margin. So bank
maintain higher ROA will make more the profit.

Figure 4.2.2: Return on Assets (ROA) trends
Last year was another challenging year for the banking sector if we are compare to 2009-2011.
During the year average interest margin has decreased due to bank investment of fund to the
low yield and government securities. With expansion of business, asset profile of the bank also
increased gradually. Total asset of bank grew up 14.60% at December 2013 against last year.
The significant increase in asset was mainly achieved due to rise in loan and advance,
investment, cash and balance with other bank and institutions. This factor is effecting the
calculation of ROA. NBL performs most effectively in 2010. But in last year there some hope
that it will try to reach previous position. It indicates that total asset of the bank increased but
net profit did not increase with the assets. This shows the management inefficiency in using
the bank asset to generate profit.

4.2.3 Return on Equity (ROE)3
The return on equity ratio or ROE is a profitability ratio that measures the ability of a firm to
generate profits from its shareholders investments in the company. In other words, the return
on equity ratio shows how much profit each dollar of common stockholders' equity generates.
So a return on 1 means that every dollar of common stockholders' equity generates 1 dollar of
net income. This is an important measurement for potential investors because they want to see
how efficiently a company will use their money to generate net income. ROE is also an
indicator of how effective management is at using equity financing to fund operations and grow
the company.
Figure 4.2.3: Return on equity (ROE) trends
Lower ROE in 2012 was 6.65%., if we compare to last 5 year ROE. The earnings per share
was Tk. 1.49 in 2013 increasing 41.90% over Tk. 1.05 previous year. In graph ROE reached
highest point 35.91% at 2010 than its getting lower towards. NBL earn maximum ROE 35.91%
in 2010 and minimum 6.65% in 2012. In accordance with prudent capital structure plan, the
bank has a consistent dividend policy. In addition NBL declared high stock dividend as and
when possible to strengthen the capital base. Bank current ROE position need to change if we
compare to last 5 years except of 2012. So the management should work hard to increase the
return associated with equity.

4.2.4 Earnings Per share4
Earnings per share (EPS) measures the profit available to equity shareholders on a per share
basis, that is, the amount that they can get on every share held (Khan & Jain, 2007). This ratio
is usually used to find out the operating efficiency of the firm against its‟ total number of share
outstanding. The EPS of the banks in the last 5 years are as follows:
Figure 4.2.4: Earnings per Share (Tk.) trends
Higher EPS in 2010 was 15.55 (Tk.), if we compare to last 5 year EPS of National Bank
Limited because of achieving high profit after tax 6860.34 (Tk. in million) though opening 14
new branches and appointing 482 new employees in 2010 according to plan for bank
expansions. The numbers of shares outstanding share was gradually increased over last 5 year.
But net profit after tax was gradually decreased and increased by one year after. Operating
efficiency of National Bank Limited in the formed of the earnings of the firm against its each
share or stock was continuously poor. Earnings per share of NBL should be increase to attract
investors.
4.3 Conclusion
NBL helps to mobilize the resources to stay strong in the key areas of operation. In the areas
of treasury operation, NBL remains the key player in the country’s foreign exchange and
money market enhancing profitability through careful pricing and assessment of risk and return
on investment, the treasury dealing is being strengthened to facilitate transactions requiring
more sophisticated products and services for larger institutional and corporate clients. Though
it has a wide range of network and confidence from the customers but it has some problems
those problems reduce it income.

Chapter VI: Analysis and Findings
6.1 Growth and profitability performance analysis of three branches
Three financial indicators are being used to compare and analyze growth performance among
three branches. These are growth rate of deposit collection, growth rate of sanctioning loans
and advances and growth rate of profit-loss.
6.1.1 Deposits
A strong deposit base is necessary for the success of a bank. Bank deposit account is an
arrangement with a bank that allows the customer to pay take out money. The bank keeps a
record of all the payment and deposits (transaction) in the customer’s name. It binds the banker
and the customer into a contractual relationship. Using an account, a customer may deposits
and withdrawals of money from his/her account. It is also called the primary and fiduciary
relationship between bank and customer. Opening deposit account with a bank is the way of
creating banker relationship.

During the year 2013-2014 National Bank Limited mobilized a substantial amount of deposits
from mid-level income group people under Deposits Savings Scheme. In 2013 Pabna branch
achieved 98.93% of its budgeted deposit collection, Bogra branch achieved 89.21% of its
budgeted deposit collection and Kaliakoir branch achieved 100.02% of its budgeted deposit
collection. In 2014 Pabna branch achieved 92.69% of its budgeted deposit collection, Bogra
branch achieved 83.91% of its budgeted deposit collection and Kaliakoir branch achieved
93.09% of its budgeted deposit collection.
27
Budgeted deposit collection is high for the newly opening branch than the old branch of NBL.
Budgeted deposit collection was high for Kaliakoir branch than other two branches. And it
performed very well in close to achieve it budgeted deposit.
Figure 6.1.1 Branches deposit collection
All deposits aren’t the same. Banks can tailor product and sales strategies when they know their
customers’ rate sensitivity and deposit stickiness. Three branches of national banks that use
advanced elasticity-based pricing models discover differences in rate sensitivity and
competitive conditions. Those differences reveal themselves across customer segments,
markets, product-use profiles and balance levels. Kaliakoir branch can be treated as benchmark
for Pabna and Bogra branch in terms of deposit collection growth.
6.1.2 Advances
In evaluating the performance of a banking institution, it is important to assess the extent to
which clients have availed of institutional credit. The Bank’s Loans and Advances portfolio
also indicates an impressive growth. A major source of bank failures has been irrecoverable
loans that were made to related companies or individuals. Loans to affiliated companies,
shareholders or directors are not always made on a strictly commercial basis and represent a
potential source of impairment of the bank's capital.

its budgeted loan and advance. In 2014 Pabna branch achieved 81.57% of its budgeted loan
and advance, Bogra branch achieved 149.09% of its budgeted loan and advance and Kaliakoir
branch achieved 106.87% of its budgeted loan and advance. In 2014 Pabna branch achieved
81.57% of its budgeted loan and advance but its budgeted loans was reduced due to growth of
import loan decreased.
Figure 6.1.2: Branches advance
Bogra branch was closed to achieve its budgeted loan and advance target in the year 2013. But
in the year 2014 Bogra branch sanctioned excess from its budgeted loan and advance because
of providing a large amount of loan to import business. On the other hand growth rate of loan
and advance increased in Kaliakoir branch due to providing loan to the industrial sectors
especially Ready-made-garment’s (RMG). Bogra branch can be treated as benchmark for
Pabna and Kaliakoir branch in terms of sanctioning loans and advances growth.

6.1.3 Profit / Loss
The most common measure of bank branch performance is profitability performance.
Generally, accounting profits are the difference between revenues and costs. Profitability is
considered to be the most difficult attributes of a firm to conceptualize and to measure. These
ratios are used to assess the ability of the business to generate earnings in comparison with its
all expenses and other relevant costs during a specific time period.
More specifically, these ratios indicate firm’s profitability after taking account of all expenses
and income taxes, the efficiency of operations, firm pricing policies, profitability on assets and
to shareholders of the firm Profitability ratios are generally considered to be the basic bank
financial ratio in order to evaluate how well bank is performing in terms of profit. For the most
part, if a profitability ratio is relatively higher as compared to the competitor(s), industry
averages, guidelines, or previous years’ same ratios, then it is taken as indicator of better
performance of the bank. Study applies these criteria to judge the profitability of the National
banks Limited.

105.68% of its budgeted profits and Kaliakoir branch achieved 100.03% of its budgeted profits.
In 2014 Pabna branch achieved 54.60% of its budgeted profits, Bogra branch achieved 10.96%
of its budgeted profits and Kaliakoir branch achieved 83.73% of its budgeted profits.
Growth rate of profit decreased in Pabna branch due to increase in interest paid on deposit from
95.66(tk. in million) to 103.47 (tk. in million), increase in operating expense from 16.98 (tk.
in million) to 18.46 (tk. in million), increase in employee expenditure from 11.81 (tk. in

Figure 6.1.3: Profit-Loss
Profit Growth rate decreased in Bogra branch because of increasing interest paid on IBTA from
21.40 (tk. in million) to 114.27 (tk. in million) and increasing of operating expense from
26.85 (tk. in million) to 113.93 (tk. in million). Growth rate of profit increased in Kaliakoir
branch due to increase in interest received from loans and advances from 40.48 (tk. in million)
to 64.45(tk. in million), increase in interest received from IBTA from 145.88 (tk. in million) to
146.23 (tk. in million) and there was no interest paid on IBTA. In term of high growth rate of
profit Kaliakoir branch can be treated as benchmark for Pabna and Bogra branch.
6.2 Employee Performance Analysis of the Selected Branches
Ratio analysis is a method of interpreting the financial statements of a branch. A single ratio
by itself is not of much use (Kevin, 2009). Three financial ratio are being used to compare and
analyze employee performance among three branches. These are per employee deposit
collection, per employee sanctioning loans and advances and per employee profit-loss.

6.2.1 Per Employee Deposit 5
It is the main component of the liability side of the balance sheet of a bank. Interest is to be
paid on the deposits received from the public and the other parties. Interest paid constitutes the
major part of the total expenditure of a commercial bank. This ratio has been computed by
dividing the amount of total deposits by the number of employees in the bank.
Figure 6.2.1: Per Employee Deposit
In Pabna branch the trend wise growth rate has shown an increasing trend 18.16 % per
employee deposit in general as shown in the above graph and in absolute terms from 49.46 (tk.
in million) per employee deposit to 58.44 (tk. in million) per employee deposit. In Bogra
branch the trend wise growth rate has shown an increasing trend 0.40 % per employee deposit
in general as shown in the above graph and in absolute terms from 35.15 (tk. in million) per
employee deposit to 35.29 (tk. in million) per employee deposit.
And in Kaliakoir Branch the trend wise growth rate has shown an increasing trend 16.35 % per
employee deposit in general as shown in the above graph and in absolute terms from 80.01 (tk.
in million) per employee deposit to 93.09 (tk. in million) per employee deposit. Comparing
among three branches growth rate of per employee deposit in Pabna Branch was high means
as high employee performance.

6.2.2 Per Employee Advance 6
The main earning of a commercial bank is from the advances provided to the private and the
industry. Ultimately, the interest is to be earned from this major factor only. Interest constitutes
the main part of the total income of the commercial bank. This ratio has been computed by
dividing the amount of total advances by the number of employees in the bank.
Figure 6.2.2 Per Employee Advance
In Pabna Branch the ratio has shown an upward trend (in absolute terms) 10.93 (Tk. in million)
per employee to 14.19 (Tk. in million) per employee in general as shown in graph and banks
has 29.83 % the trend wise growth rate for the period 2013-2014. In Bogra Branch the ratio
has shown an upward trend (in absolute terms) 45.14 (Tk. in million) per employee to 83.03
(Tk. in million) per employee in general as shown in graph and banks has 83.94% the trend
wise growth rate for the period 2013-2014.
In Kaliakoir Branch the ratio has shown an upward trend (in absolute terms) 16.96 (Tk. in
million) per employee to 24.05 (Tk. in million) per employee in general as shown in graph
and banks has 41.80% the trend wise growth rate for the period 2013-2014. Comparing among
three branches trend wise growth rate of per employee advance in Bogra Branch was high
means as high employee efficiency performance.

6.2.3 Per Employee Profit/ Loss7
Below graph deals with profit per employee which is calculated by profit divided by no. of
employees. Every business exists in order to earn profit. Without profit no commercial activity
can sustain for a long period. Similarly, profit earning has become the main motive of
commercial banks operating in India. Profit earning and timely growth in the profit earning is
an essential feature for the continued success of a bank.
Figure 6.2.3 Per Employee Profit/ Loss
An analysis of data on the basis of percentage growth rate per employee profit-loss over the
base year shows that the maximum-minimum percentage growth rate was recorded in 2013 to
2014 respectively Pabna branch (-30 %) in 2014, Bogra branch (-86.46%) in 2014 and
Kaliakoir branch (9.03%) in 2014. In terms of per employee profit-loss Kaliakoir branch was
high employee efficiency performance among three branches.

6.4 Conclusion
The performance evaluation of bank branches is a difficult task. One of the main reasons for
this difficulty is the complexity inherent in the variety of aspects to be considered in the
evaluation, and the multiple and conflicting interests of the different stakeholders involved.
Three branches of National Banks that use advanced elasticity-based pricing models discover
differences in rate sensitivity and competitive conditions. Those differences reveal themselves
across customer segments, markets, product-use profiles and balance levels.

Chapter VII: Conclusion and Recommendations
7.1 Conclusion
The concept of financial performance and its measurement is well advanced within finance and
management fields. Generally, the financial performance of banks and other financial
institutions has been measured using a combination of financial ratios analysis, benchmarking,
measuring performance against budget or a mix of these methodologies.
In this study bank branches performance compared through the growth of deposit collection,
sanctioning loan and advance and profit-loss against budget. Employee performance among
three branches is being measure and analyze with the help of per employee deposit, per
employee advance and per employee profit-loss. It has been prepared on the primary and
secondary data from different sources.
Despite of severe unfavorable economic conditions of last few years, NBL achieved a worthy
performance in all core areas of banking operation. This paper highlighted the performance of
NBL over the Financial 2009-2013. The results indicate that the overall bank performance in
terms of profitability performance (ROA, ROE and EPS) has been declining if we took 2010
figure as benchmark year. Banks increased the size of their portfolios during the period but net
profit did not increase with the assets as well as with equity and share. This shows the
management inefficiency in using the bank asset to generate profit. On the other hand loans to
deposit ratios (LDR) were satisfactory range in comparing to last 5 years and also it was
decreasing trend. NBL is also contributing to the advancement of the socioeconomic condition
of the country.
Pabna branch achieved average 95.81% from its budgeted deposit collection in the period 2013
and 2014. But in terms of sanctioning loans and advances Pabna branch achieved average
69.94% only from its budgeted ones. In terms of achieving profit budget is not satisfactory at
all. It achieved average 61.88% from its budgeted ones.
Bogra branch achieved average 86.56% from its budgeted deposit collection in the period 2013
and 2014. Bogra branch achieved average 124.20% from its budgeted ones in terms of
sanctioning loans and advances. It achieved average 58.32% profit from its budgeted ones
which is not satisfactory at all. Comparing among three branches growth rate of per employee
advance in Bogra Branch was high.
Kaliakoir branch achieved average 96.56% from its budgeted deposit collection in the period
2013 and 2014. In terms of sanctioning loans and advances Kaliakoir branch achieved average
118.67% from its budgeted ones. It achieved average 91.88% profit from its budgeted ones
which is satisfactory. Comparing among three branches growth rate of per employee deposit
and per employee profit in Kaliakoir Branch was high.
To keep pace with the current market and demand, NBL is following several strategies and
taking new initiatives, offering new products and services to the customers. NBL have a strong
position in the competitive market. It is among one of the fastest growing Bank. Income, total
assets, investment activity, export, import and remittance are all showing positive trends even
after the global challenges that we are facing today. But the little concerned on financial
stability of the bank decreased in recent year, this may be because of opening of new branches
in different business centers and the instability in the economy of the world.

7.2 Recommendations
A bank's primary business is to generate funds from customers and lend or invest these funds
at a yield that exceeds the cost of these funds. If a bank is unable to do this, the efficiency with
which they process account transactions will be a moot issue. Management of NBL should be
focused more on consolidation of its core business so that major business parameters deposits,
advances, import and export show moderate to satisfactory growth. The following aspects are
recommended in order to improve the financial performance of three branches:
o Bogra branch of NBL should give equal focus on all schemes of deposit. Management
of NBL should try to update all types of deposit schemes and it is necessary to increase
the rate of interest of deposit.
o Pabna branch of NBL should give a good attention regarding loan and advances
sanction. Management of NBL should increase their loan facility on deposit schemes
and the credit proposal evaluation process and time should be shortened.
o Bogra branch should decrease its interest payment on IBTA and operating expense in
order to turn back increasing profit trends. NBL should increase its finance on
diversified projects to achieve more clients.
o Employees of Bogra branch should study more on their customer segments, markets,
and product-use profiles to increase it’s per employee deposit.
o Employees of Kaliakoir branch should focus on sanctioning more loan by reducing
credit proposal evaluation process which would help increasing it’s per employee
advance.
o Employees of Bogra branch should more concentrate on their customer segments,
markets, product-use profiles and financial position of loan seeker in order to reduce
loan loss.
o Management of NBL should appoint one asst. vice president and one principal officer
in Kaliakoir branch. Because growth rate of deposit collection, earning profit, per
employee deposit, per employee profit in this branch is high among three branches and
at present it is being charged only by one senior executive officer.
o Motivated and talented manpower is giving good results in the banking sector. So, all
three branches should focus on motivated and talented manpower who can motivate
customer. For survival and growth management in banks is adopting different strategies
to improve employee productivity.
