Overview of Financial system of Bangladesh

The financial system of Bangladesh is comprised of three broad fragmented sectors:

1. Formal Sector,
2. Semi-Formal Sector,
3. Informal Sector.
The sectors have been categorized in accordance with their degree of regulation.
The formal sector includes all regulated institutions like Banks, Non-Bank Financial
Institutions (FIs), Insurance Companies, Capital Market Intermediaries like Brokerage
Houses, Merchant Banks etc.; Micro Finance Institutions (MFIs)
The semi formal sector includes those institutions which are regulated otherwise but do not
fall under the jurisdiction of Central Bank, Insurance Authority, Securities and Exchange
Commission or any other enacted financial regulator. This sector is mainly represented by
Specialized Financial Institutions like House Building Finance Corporation (HBFC), Palli
Karma Sahayak Foundation (PKSF), Samabay Bank, Grameen Bank etc., Non-Governmental
Organizations (NGOs and discrete government programs.
The informal sector includes private intermediaries which are completely unregulated.

Financial Institute:
A financial institution is an institution that provides financial services for its clients or
members. One of the most important financial services provided by a financial institution is
acting as a financial intermediary. Most financial institutions are regulated by the
government.
Deposit-taking institutions that accept and manage deposits and make loans (this category
includes banks, credit unions, trust companies, and mortgage loan companies);
Insurance companies and pension funds; and Brokers, underwriters and investment funds.
Financial institutions provide service as intermediaries of the capital and debt markets. They
are responsible for transferring funds from investors to companies, in need of those funds.
The presence of financial institutions facilitate the flow of money through the economy. To
do so, savings are pooled to mitigate the risk brought to provide funds for loans. Such is the
primary means for depository institutions to develop revenue. Should the yield curve become
inverse, firms in this arena will offer additional fee-generating services including securities
underwriting, and prime brokerage.
A financial institution is an establishment that conducts financial transactions such as
investments, loans and deposits. Almost everyone deals with financial institutions on a
regular basis. Everything from depositing money to taking out loans and exchanging
currencies must be done through financial institutions.
Classification of Financial Institutions
In financial market there are many types of financial institutions or intermediaries exist for
the flow of funds. Some of them involve in depositary type of transactions whereas other
involve in non-depositary type of transactions. The type of financial institutions can be
divided into two types as follows:

1. Depository Institutions

A depository institution is a financial institution in the United States (such as a savings bank,
commercial bank, savings and loan associations, or credit unions) that is legally allowed to

Page 4 of 22

accept monetary deposits from consumers. Federal depository institutions are regulated by
the Govt.

Role of Depository Institutions:

Depository institutions accept deposits from surplus units and provide credit to deficit units
through loans and purchases of securities. They are popular financial institutions for the
following reasons:

They offer deposit accounts that can accommodate the amount and liquidity
characteristics desired by most surplus units.

They repackage funds received from deposits to provide loans of the size and maturity
desired by deficit units.

They accept the risk on loans provided.

They have mare expertise than individual surplus units in evaluating the credit
worthiness of deficit units.

They diversify their loans among numerous deficits units and therefore can absorb
defaulted loans better than individual surplus units could.

The depository types of financial institutions include banks, credit unions, saving and loan
associations and mutual saving banks

* Commercial banks
Commercial banks are those financial institutions, which help in pooling the savings of
surplus units and arrange their productive uses. They basically accept the deposits from
individuals and institutions, which are repayable on demand. These deposits from individuals
and institutions are invested to satisfy the short-term financing requirement of business and
industry.

* Credit Unions
Credit unions are cooperative associations where large numbers of people are voluntarily
associated for savings and borrowing purposes. These individuals are the members of credit

Page 5 of 22

unions as they make share investment along with deposits. The saving generated from these
members are used to lend the members of the union only.

* Saving And Loan Associations

Saving and loan associations are the financial institutions involved in collecting funds of
many small savers and lending these funds to home buyers and other types of borrowers.

* Mutual Saving Banks

Mutual saving banks are more or less similar to saving and loan associations. They primarily
accepts savings of individuals and they are lent to the home users and consumers on a longterm basis.

2. Non-depository Institutions

Non-depository institutions are not banks in real sense. They make contractual arrangement
and investment in securities to satisfy the needs and preferences of investors. The nondepository institutions include insurance companies, pension funds, finance companies and
mutual funds.

* Insurance Companies
Insurance companies are the contractual saving institutions which collect periodic premium
from insured party and in return agree to compensate against the risk of loss of life and
properties.

* Pension/Provident Funds
Pension funds are financial institutions which accept saving to provide pension and other
kinds of retirement benefits to the employees of government units and other corporations.
Pension funds are basically funded by corporation and government units for their employees,
which make a periodic deposit to the pension fund and the fund provides benefits to
associated employees on the retirement. The pension funds basically invest in stocks, bonds
and other type of long-term securities including real estate.

* Finance Companies
Finance companies are the financial institutions that engage in satisfying individual credit
needs, and perform merchant banking functions. In other words, finance companies are nonbank financial institutions that tend to meet various kinds of consumer credit needs. They
involve in leasing, project financing, housing and other kind of real estate financing.

* Mutual Funds
Mutual funds are open-end investment companies. They are the associations or trusts of
public members and invest in financial instruments or assets of the business sector or
corporate sector for the mutual benefit of its members. Mutual funds are basically a large
public portfolio that accepts funds from members and then use these funds to buy common
stocks, preferred stocks, bonds and other short-term debt instruments issued by government
and corporation.

Bangladesh Bank:
Bangladesh Bank acts as the Central Bank of Bangladesh which was established on
December 16, 1971 through the enactment of Bangladesh Bank Order 1972- Presidents
Order No. 127 of 1972 (Amended in 2003). The general superintendence and direction of the
affairs and business of BB have been entrusted to a 9 members' Board of Directors which is
headed by the Governor who is the Chief Executive Officer of this institution as well. BB has
45 departments and 10 branch offices. In Strategic Plan (2010-2014), the vision of BB has
been stated as, To develop continually as a forward looking central bank with competent and
committed professionals of high ethical standards, conducting monetary management and
financial sector supervision to maintain price stability and financial system robustness,
supporting rapid broad based inclusive economic growth, employment generation and
poverty eradication in Bangladesh.
The main functions of BB are (Section 7A of BB Order, 1972) 1. to formulate and implement monetary policy;
2. to formulate and implement intervention policies in the foreign exchange market;
3. to give advice to the Government on the interaction of monetary policy with fiscal and
exchange rate policy, on the impact of various policy measures on the economy and to

Page 7 of 22

propose legislative measures it considers necessary or appropriate to attain its

objectives and perform its functions;
4. to hold and manage the official foreign reserves of Bangladesh;
5. to promote, regulate and ensure a secure and efficient payment system, including the
issue of bank notes;
To regulate and supervise banking companies and financial institutions
Core Policies of Central Bank
Monetary policy
The main objectives of monetary policy of Bangladesh Bank are:

Price stability both internal & external

Sustainable growth & development

High employment

Economic and efficient use of resources

Stability of financial & payment system

Bangladesh Bank declares the monetary policy by issuing Monetary Policy Statement (MPS)
twice (January and July) in a year. The tools and instruments for implementation of monetary
policy in Bangladesh are Bank Rate, Open Market Operations (OMO), Repurchase
agreements (Repo) & Reverse Repo, Statutory Reserve Requirements (SLR & CRR).
Reserve Management Strategy
Bangladesh Bank maintains the foreign exchange reserve of the country in different
currencies to minimize the risk emerging from widespread fluctuation in exchange rate of
major currencies and very irregular movement in interest rates in the global money market.
BB has established Nostro account arrangements with different Central Banks. Funds
accumulated in these accounts are invested in Treasury bills, repos and other government
papers in the respective currencies. It also makes investment in the form of short term
deposits with different high rated and reputed commercial banks and purchase of high rated
sovereign/supranational/corporate bonds. A separate department of BB performs the
operational functions regarding investment which is guided by investment policy set by the
Page 8 of 22

BB's Investment Committee headed by a Deputy Governor. The underlying principle of the
investment policy is to ensure the optimum return on investment with minimum market risk.
Interest Rate Policy
Under the Financial sector reform program, a flexible interest policy was formulated.
According to that, banks are free to charge/fix their deposit (Bank /Financial Institutes) and
Lending (Bank /Financial Institutes) rates other than Export Credit. At present, except Preshipment export credit and agricultural lending, there is no interest rate cap on lending for
banks. Yet, banks can differentiate interest rate up to 3% considering comparative risk
elements involved among borrowers in same lending category. With progressive deregulation
of interest rates, banks have been advised to announce the mid-rate of the limit (if any) for
different sectors and the banks may change interest 1.5% more or less than the announced
mid-rate on the basis of the comparative credit risk. Banks upload their deposit and lending
interest rate in their respective website.
Capital Adequacy for Banks and FIs
Basel-III has been introduced with a view to strenghening the capital base of banks with the
goal of promoting a more resilient banking sector. The Basel III regulation will be adopted in
a phased manner starting from the January 2015, with full implementation of capital ratios
from the beginning of 2019. Now, scheduled banks in Bangladesh are required to maintain
minimum capital of Taka 4 billion or Capital to Risk Weighted Assets Ratio (CRAR) 10%,
whichever is higher. In addition to minimum CRAR, Capital Conservation Buffer (CCB) of
2.5% of the total RWA is being introduced which will be maintained in the form of CET1.
Besides the minimum requirement all banks have a process for assessing overall capital
adequacy in relation to their risk profile and a strategy for maintaining capital at an adequate
level. For FIs, full implementation of Basel-II has been started in January 01, 2012
(Prudential Guidelines on Capital Adequacy and Market Discipline (CAMD) for Financial
Institutions). Now, FIs in Bangladesh are required to maintain Tk. 1 billion or 10% of Total
Risk Weighted Assets as capital, whichever is higher.

Deposit Insurance
The deposit insurance scheme (DIS) was introduced in Bangladesh in August 1984 to act as a
safety net for the depositors. All the scheduled banks Bangladesh are the member of this
scheme Bank Deposit Insurance Act 2000. The purpose of DIS is to help to increase market
discipline, reduce moral hazard in the financial sector and provide safety nets at the minimum
cost to the public in the event of bank failure. A Deposit Insurance Trust Fund (DITF) has
also been created for providing limited protection (not exceeding Taka 0.01 million) to a
small depositor in case of winding up of any bank. The Board of Directors of BB is the
Trustee Board for the DITF. BB has adopted a system of risk based deposit insurance
premium rates applicable for all scheduled banks effective from January - June 2007.
According to new instruction regarding premium rates, problem banks are required to pay
0.09 percent and private banks other than the problem banks and state owned commercial
banks are required to pay 0.07 percent where the percent coverage of the deposits is taka one
hundred thousand per depositor per bank. With this end in view, BB has already advised the
banks for bringing DIS into the notice of the public through displaying the same in their
display board.
Insurance Authority
Insurance Development and Regulatory Authority (IDRA) was instituted on January 26, 2011
as the regulator of insurance industry being empowered by Insurance Development and
Regulatory Act, 2010 by replacing its predecessor, Chief Controller of Insurance. This
institution is operated under Ministry of Finance and a 4 member executive body headed by
Chairman is responsible for its general supervision and direction of business.
IDRA has been established to make the insurance industry as the premier financial service
provider in the country by structuring on an efficient corporate environment, by securing
embryonic aspiration of society and by penetrating deep into all segments for high economic
growth. The mission of IDRA is to protect the interest of the policy holders and other
stakeholders under insurance policy, supervise and regulate the insurance industry
effectively, ensure orderly and systematic growth of the insurance industry and for matters
connected therewith or incidental thereto.
