assigned by me with the help of my supervisor. Then I
communicated with DBBLs officials about the topic and the way
they can help me by providing the related information.

department works , and its management. The third and last part
includes of financial performance, ratio and trend analysis, SWOT
analysis and comparisons with other banks.
Limitation of the study:

This study report is based upon both Primary & secondary source of
information from the documents and databases of the Bank. Though I
tried my level best to produce a comprehensive and well-organized
report on the Performanc measurement and Evaluation of Dutch-
Bangla Bank Limited, some limitations were yet present there:
A period of three months was not sufficient to collect and

understand the actual scenario of the organization.
Banks policy did not permit to disclose various data and
information related to measuring performance specially
mathematic datas.
The one of the main limitations of the project paper was to
conduct a small scale survey on clients due to very rush of clients
in Banani Branch.
As I worked as an internee in the most busy branch, so the basic
understanding of banking was fulfilled but communications with
the managers and other officers and employees was not sufficient
Part One Page: 12

DBBL
enough in this short time to get all the information that I needed
for my report.
Chapter 2
An Overview of Dutch-Bangla Bank Ltd
Historical Background
Introduction:
Dutch-Bangla Bank Limited (the Bank) is a scheduled commercial bank. The Bank, DBBL) is a
scheduled joint venture commercial bank between local Bangladeshi parties spearheaded by
M. Sahabuddin Ahmed (Founder & Chairman) and the Dutch company FMO. The Bank was
established under the Bank Companies Act 1991 and incorporated as a public limited company
on July 23, 1995 under the Companies Act 1994 in Bangladesh with the primary objective to
carry on all kinds of banking business in Bangladesh. The Bank is listed with Dhaka Stock
Exchange (DSE) Limited and Chittagong Stock Exchange (CSE) Limited. Dutch-Bangla Bank
Limited - a Bangladesh European private joint venture scheduled commercial bank
commenced formal operation from June 3, 1996. The head office of the Bank is located at
Senakalyan Bhaban (4th floor), 195, Motijheel C/A, Dhaka, Bangladesh. The Bank commenced
its banking business with one branch on 4 July 1996. Over the years, DBBL has been
increasing its service coverage through setting up branches at different strategically important
areas of the country.
After instability and frequent management changes in its initial years, DBBL overcame these
obstacles to establish itself as a market leader. It has grown its reputation through social work
rather than profits. The bank's conservative nature, long-term strategies, hefty social donations
and technology investments have always led to modest but steady profits.
Due to investor confidence, DBBL share prices have steadily climbed in value. In January
2008, DBBL share prices reached Tk. 9,450 .00 in the Dhaka Stock Exchange, setting the
record for the highest stock price in the history of Bangladesh. It is also one of the few banks
Part One Page: 13

DBBL
that do not participate in merchant banking (which can lead to sporadic growth). DBBL has
branded itself as a trusted bank through its banking practices and social commitments.
Dutch Bangla Bank is the first and only local bank in Bangladesh to have an automated
banking system. The bank has spent over Tk. 1 Billion in automation upgrades (first bank in
Bangladesh to do so). This automation took place in 2003 whereby services of the bank were
available uniformly though any branch, ATM and internet. Banking was a paper based until
DBBL, with its wide local network, delivered banking automation and modern banking services
to the masses. This effectively introduced the 'plastic money' concept into the Bangladeshi
society.
The ATM count stood at 140 eclipsing other networks by a large margin. This rapid increase in
DBBL's ATM network has led the majority of other banks to sign sharing agreements instead of
pursuing their own ATM network. In 2006, Dutch Bangla Bank ventured into the realm of
personal credit by offering automatic credit facilities to its Debit card (DBBL Nexus) holders. It
also continued expanding its ATM network with the intension of installing more than 400
machines.
In 2007 the bank entered a strategic alliance with Citybank NA, where both parties will provide
retail banking services of DBBL for its employees and owners of Citibank corporate customers
in Bangladesh. In the same year DBBL became the first bank in Bangladesh to offer SMS
Banking services.
DBBL maintained a proprietary policy on its ATM network until 2007. This was changed when
DBBL and Standard Chartered Bank (SCB) signed an agreement that will let SCB use DBBL's
ATM network. Thus ending the unhealthy competition between the organizations. This sharing
invitation was extended to all other banks shortly after. Number of DBBL ATMs eclipsed the
200 mark.

3.1.1 Deposit Scheme:

Bank is the largest mobilizer of surplus domestic savings. For poverty alleviation, we need self
employment, for self-employment we need investment and for investment we need savings. In
the other words, savings help capital formations and the capital formations help investments in
the country. The investment in its turn helps industrialization leading towards creation of wealth
of the country. And the wealth finally takes the country on road to progress and prosperity. As
such, savings is considered the very basis of prosperity of the country. The more the growth of
savings, the more will be the prosperity of the nation.
The savings rate in Bangladesh is one of the lowest in the world. In order to improve the
savings rate, Financial Institutions responsible for mobilization of savings should offer attractive
Savings Schemes so that the marginal propensity to save increases. The savings do not, of
course, depend only on the quantum of income but largely depend on the habit of savings of
the people.

Cash Department:
The Cash department of a bank is one of the most sensitive departments. The responsibility of
the officers of this department is incredible. Two main functions of this department are:
To receive cash
To cash payment
Receiving cash is considered as a liability for the bank. The bank is liable to pay its clients,
whether he wants to with draw cash from his account. So cash is credited in the bank's general
account and debited in the client's account. On the other hand whenever cash is payment the
bank's general A/C is debited as it credited accordingly. All transaction of cash department is posted

B. Foreign Exchange Division:
Part One Page: 79

DBBL
Foreign Exchange division is a very important part of any commercial bank.. At present all the
branches of DBBL are not doing foreign dealings with their clients directly .There are 39
branches of DBBL which are AD (Authorized Dealer) of foreign exchange. At present branches
play a very important role in supporting LC (Letter of Credit) facilities to their customers. To
open an LC in a bank the following requirement are necessary for any client:
They should have a Current Deposit (CD) account in that branch.

There transaction list should have a good track record of business.
They should bear an IRC (Import Registration Certificate) from the authority of Chief
controller of Import and Export.
They should have a TIN certificate.
They should mention their all prospective business deal in a Pro forma invoice where
all the description of the business should be notified.
At present the commercial banks in Bangladesh is paying more importance in foreign

exchange dealings. The reason behind it is that it provides them with huge profit than other
fields. DBBL is also aware of the whole matter and so they are leading in this field at present
than other banks in Bangladesh. Good customer management and service helped the
institution to invade the proud field certainly.
C. Credit Division:
DBBL serves its customer with different types of loans. These are mainly of the following types.
1) Consumer Credit Scheme:
Consumer Banking means for consumption / utilization of consumer durables. Consumer &
Retail banking is one of the credits, which is provided to people having fixed, but regular
income for acquiring consumer durables and other assets for personal use to service from their
monthly income. Since it was introduced in 1995 it is still a very demanding loan scheme.
Under this category, persons from different backgrounds apply for a bank loan for a special
demand which may be for a Car Loan, Doctors Loan, Household durables Loan, Loan for home
appliances etc. This loan is not directly delivered to the interested parties, but it is delivered to
the party from whom the above thing was bought.
2) Personal loan:
Any person having CD/SB/STD account may avail this loan against Lien on FDR or any other
savings instruments duly discharged with Letter of Authority to enact in case of default. Here
Part One Page: 80

DBBL
the rate of interest would be 2-3% above FDR rate in case of FDR and 14% p.a. with quarterly
rest in case of other deposit and the period of loan is maximum 12 months (renewable ) .The
Limit of loan under this scheme would be as per delegation of power circulate from time to time.
3. House Building Loan
Under this category land owners get loan for construction purpose in their own land. The
construction process will be closely monitored by the bank personal. In the credit division the
respective banker needs to be very smart, intelligent and alert. As the loan section bears a very
sharp risk he needs to be very alert, also he needs to be very friendly to the good customers.
This is a very important division in Private Bank and so customer service evaluation is very
necessary in this field.

Financial Ratios indicating Banks financial performance:
Return on Equity: The return on equity (ROE) measure the return earned on the owner's
(Both preferred and common stockholders) investment in the firm. Generally higher this returns
the better for the owners. The return on equity is calculated as follows:
= Net Income/ Common Equity

Year 2004 2004 2006 2007 2008
Return on Equity 26.03 31.01 24.07 24.02 29.58
Comments: The minimum standard of ROE followed by leading companies is 15%. Here the
ROE for the year is above satisfactory. However, the use of debt lowers equity, and if equity is
lowered more than net income, ROE would increase.
Deposit to Total Asset

= Total Deposit /Total Asset
Year 2004 2004 2006 2007 2008

Deposit to Total Asset 85.77 84.39 88.17 88.29 89
Comment : The Deposit to Total Asset ratio is gradually getting higher & in the year of 2008 it
is the highest.
Return on Asset:
Return on Total Assets = Profit after Tax / Total Assets.
Year 2004 2004 2006 2007 2008

1.06 1.29 0.93 1.01 1.49
Return on Asset
Part One Page: 82

DBBL
Return on Assets indicates the net return on total investment of the firm. From the above data
we can see that the return on asset is1.49 in 2008. Interest expense is actually lower the ROA
percentage. DBBL should increase ROA to generate more profit from total asset.

burden is an interesting figure as it is usually positive for most of the banks which depicts the
operational efficiency in terms of non interest expenditure control of the bank.
Dividend per Share:
