1.1 Introduction
Islami bank Bangladesh Limited is an unconditional and specialized financial institution which is
first of its kind in South East Asia performs most of the standard banking service and investment
activities on the basis of profit-loss sharing system conforming to the principles of Islamic
Shariah. Islami Bank does not pay interest to depositor. Instead depositors participate in the
profitability of the bank. The Bank participates in financing long-term projects on the basis of
profit-loss sharing instead of granting credit facilities with interest. IBBL also performs various
social welfare activities through its subsidiary organ named Islami Bank Foundation (IBF).
Career in Banking has become very lucrative over the last few years considering the work
environment and remuneration package. As a student of BBA, I cherish to be a banker and that is
why I had chosen a banking organization for my internship. I chose IBBL because it has a good
reputation in the banking community.
My internship program specially based on Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited and I want to focus
the convergence in lending (investment) performance between IBBL vs. other conventional bank
in Bangladesh. For my study purpose I choose National Bank Limited as an example of
conventional bank.
Islami Bank Bangladesh Ltd. is the biggest Bank in Bangladesh in private sector. There are a few
numbers of private Banks that can compete with IBBL. A Banking system is aiming to gain the
goal of Islamic economy through setting a well-designed Islamic Monitory system. Regarding
use of money Islam has its clear-cut instruction through some distinctive guidelines. Avoiding
interest (Riba), restricting exploitation & speculation etc. are major guideline in this process. So
Islamic Banking system is doing banking business under Islamic guide lines.
The scope of the organizational part covers the organizational structure, background, products
and services and the financial performance of Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited as a whole and
the main part covers investment risk management of IBBL. This report helps us to understand
the clear real-time experience about the investment business operations of IBBL.
In this report I have focused on all the qualitative which include profiles of IBBL, Investment
mechanism like Bai mechanism, Partnership or Share mechanism and Leasing or Ijara
mechanism, different schemes of investment such as household durable schemes, housing
investment scheme, transport investment scheme, car investment scheme, investment scheme for
doctors, small business investment schemes, rural development scheme etc.
The primary objectives of this report are to represent the “Investment Mechanism” of
Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited and to have a clear conception about all of the essential
parts of the internship program.
Secondary Objective:
Methodology is the process or a system through which a study is being carried out for the
purpose of collection of information that is required is collection with the study for reaching a
conclusion on that study. For smooth and accurate study everyone have to follow some rules &
regulation. The study impute were collected from two sources:
Primary Sources of Data: I discussed with the officials and executives of the IBBL,
Shyamoli Branch and found the approximate data which has been used and presented in this
report. The study has been conducted through the assistance of Investment Department,
Shyamoli Branch as per their operating and maintaining an investment business through applying
modern and technological means. I have also physically observed the effectiveness of the efforts
relating investment business effectively and efficiently managed by Islami Bank Bangladesh
Limited, Shyamoli Branch. Primary sources of data include the following:
Secondary Sources Data: I have collected secondary data from the following sources:
Although I have obtained the whole hearted co-operation from the employees of Islami Bank
Bangladesh Limited, Shyamoli Branch and Islami Bank Training and Research Academy but in
the way of my study, I have faced the following problems, which may be termed as the
limitations of the study. Some limitations are as under:
The main constraint of the study was insufficiency of information, which was required
for the study. There are various information the bank employee can’t provide due to
security and other corporate obligations.
All the branches of the bank were not physically visited and all the concerned personnel
of the bank have not been interviewed.
Lack of in-depth knowledge and analytical ability for writing such report.
Lack of experience.
Learning all the banking functions about the investment mechanism within just 60 days
was really tough.
Data and information used in this study are mostly from secondary sources.
Large scale research was not possible due to the constraints and restrictions posed by the
bank.
The report has encountered these limitations that may hinder the progress of the study but with
constant effort, I try to minimize the negative effects of these limitations.
Chapter-Two
The interest based banking system and mechanism is very familiar to us. At the time of
independence Bangladesh inherited an interest-based banking system introduced by the British
government during the colonial period. At present four nationalized banks, four specialized
banks, nine foreign banks and thirty one private commercial banks are operating in the financial
market of Bangladesh. But the Islamic banking in Bangladesh dates back to 1983 when the
Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited was established with a view to conducting its banking activities
based on the principle of Islamic Shariah.
Islamic banking was successfully tries in Egypt. After establishing the MitGhamar Model, Naser
Social Bank was in the process of establishment. During the seventies, Islamic Development
Bank (IDB) and a number of Islamic banks at national levels were established in the Islamic
world. At home the Islamic groups were vigorously working for adoption of Islam as the
complete code of life. They found Islamic banking in ready form of immediate introduction. Two
professional bodies “Islamic Economics Research Bureau (IERB)” and “Bangladesh Islamic
Bankers Association (BIBA)” were taking practical steps for imparting training on Islamic
Economics and banking to a group of bankers and arranging some national and international
seminars/workshops to mobilize local and foreign people and attract investors to come forward
to establish Islamic bank in Bangladesh. Their professional and right-thought activities were
reinforces by a number of Muslim entrepreneurs working under the aegis of Muslim
Businessman Society. The body concentrated mainly in mobilizing equity capital for the
emerging Islamic bank. Due to continuous and dedicated work of the above groups and
individuals and active support from the government, Islamic banking could be established in
early eighties.
Islamic banks have been operating in Bangladesh alongside with the traditional banks. Like any
other traditional commercial banks, they do mobilize deposits and produce loans. But there
modes of operation, based on Shariah, are different from the other traditional commercial banks.
However the eight Islamic banks operating in Bangladesh are:
According to Islamic banking Act 1983 of Malaysia, and Islamic Bank is a company which
carries on Islamic Banking Business Islamic Banding business means banking business whole
aims and operations do not involve any element which is not approved by the religion Islam.
From those definitions, we can find some characteristics of Islami Banking as:
It is a financial institution.
It is a business institution.
It operates its business activities free from interest.
It is run according to rules and regulations formed and amended by Shariah Council.
Islamic bank means not business product but running business through money.
It is profit loss sharing business organization.
The main objective of Islamic Banking is not only to earn profit, but also to do good and welfare
to the people. Islam upholds the concept that money, income and property belong to Allah and
this wealth is to be used for the good of the society.
Establishment of Islamic Development Bank (IDB) by the OIC member states in the year 1975
has been proved to be a breakthrough in the expansion of Islamic Shariah based finance and
specially banking throughout the world. As a founder member of IDB, the Government of
Bangladesh also had the commitment to establish Islamic banks which was reflected in different
steps taken by the governments of the country. The OIC members consented to the proposals to
introduce Islamic economy and banking in their respective countries held in the foreign
ministers’ conferences in 1978 and 1980 in Dakar and Islamabad respectively. In the year 1981,
OIC in its 3rd summit held in Makkah approved the proposition submitted by Bangladesh to
introduce separate banking system following Islamic ideology. As per decision, the GOB sent
representatives to the Middle Eastern countries to learn the existing banking systems in those
countries.
In the private sector, the Islamic Economics Research Bureau (IERB) was the first organization
that took active initiative in this regard. They arranged a national seminar on Islamic Economics
and Banking in the year 1979 and inspired by the discussion and the papers presented in the
seminars, some local bankers formed ‘Islami Bank Working Group’. The IERB again arranged
an international seminar in 1980. After the seminar, Dhaka based ‘Muslim Businessman Society’
(later renamed as ‘Industrialist and Businessmen Association’) under the leadership of renowned
industrialist Abdur Razzaque Lasker, took initiative to establish an Islamic bank and applied to
the government for permission. At this stage, the GOB provided necessary permission in the year
1983 and at last ‘Islami Bank Bangladesh’ was registered under Company Act in which 19
Bangladeshi national, 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.
A banking system is based on the principles of Islamic law (also known Shariah) and guided by
Islamic economics. Two basic principles behind Islamic banking are the sharing of profit and
loss and, significantly, the prohibition of the collection and payment of interest. Collecting
interest is not permitted under Islamic law.
Since this system of banking is grounded in Islamic principles, all the undertakings of the banks
follow Islamic morals. Therefore, it could be said that financial transactions within Islamic
banking are a culturally distinct form of ethical investing (for example, investments involving
alcohol, gambling, pork, etc. are prohibited). The Dubai Islamic Bank has the distinction of
being the world's first full-fledged Islamic bank, formed in 1975.
“Islamic bank is a financial institution whose status, rules and procedures expressly state its
commitment to the principle of Islamic Shariah and to the banning of the receipt and payment of
interest on any of its operations”. -OIC
Ziauddin Ahmed says, “Islamic bank is essentially a normative concept and could be defined as
conduct of banking in consonance with the ethos of the value system of Islam.”
It appears from the above definitions that Islamic bank is systems of financial intermediation that
avoids receipt and payment of interest in its transactions and conducts its operations in a way that
it helps achieve the objectives of an Islamic economy. Alternatively, this is a banking system
whose operation is based on Islamic principles of transactions of which profit and loss sharing
(PLS) is a major feature, ensuring justice and equity in the economy. That is why Islamic bank is
often known as PLS-banks.
The primary objective of establishing Islamic banks all over the world is to promote, foster and
develop the application of Islamic principles in the business sector. More specifically, the
objectives of Islamic banking when viewed in the context of its role in the economy are listed as
following:
Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited (IBBL) was incorporated on 13.03.1983 as a public company
with limited liability under the companies act, 1913. The bank started functioning with effect
from 30.03.1983 as the first Shariah based interest-free bank in South-East Asia.
The bank is committed to run all its activities as per Islamic Shariah. IBBL through its steady
progress and continuous success has, by now, earned the reputation of being one of the leading
private sector banks of the country. The distinguishing features of IBBL are as under:
All its activities are conducted on interest-free system according to Islamic Shariah.
Its aims are to introduce a welfare-oriented banking system and also to establish equity
and justice in the field of all economic activities.
It extends Socio-economic and financial services to the poor, helpless and low-income
group of the people for their economic up lift ment particularly in the rural areas.
Its aim is to achieve balance growth & equitable development of the country through diversified
investment operations particularly in the priority sectors and in the less developed areas.
Vision of IBBL
Our goal is to establish and maintain the modern banking techniques, to ensure the
soundness and development of the financial system based on Islamic principles and to
become the strong and efficient organization with highly motivated professionals,
working for the benefit of people, based upon accountability, transparency and integrity
in order to ensure stability of financial systems.
IBBL will try to encourage savings in the form of direct investment.
We will also try to encourage investment particularly in projects, which are more likely
to lead to higher employment.
Mission of IBBL
Profile of Council Members: The Shariah Council of Islamic Bank generally consists
of experts from the following four areas:
1. Fuqaha: Persons representing this group must be well versed in the Quran, Sunnah and
fully conversant with the opinion of all schools of islami thought and Islami law and
jurisprudence. They must view Islam as a total way of life and a living religion.
2. Banker: There must be a member who is fully conversant with banking law and
practices and has practical experiences in Banking business including foreign trade.
3. Economist: A member from this group need not necessarily be an Islami economist to
start with. But if he is an Islami Economist it is an added advantage. What is important is
that he must be really proficient in modern economies with an in depth study of the
community, which a bank is going to solve. He must have up to date knowledge in the
development of the contemporary world.
Objectives of Shariah Council: The functions of the council are to offer views and
opinions on matters related to the bank from time to time. The council may require any
paper document from the bank and examine the same to see whether it is according to see
whether it is according to Islamic principles.
The shariah council assists the Board of Directors by advising them on matters related to
shariah.
The opinion of the majority of members is taken as the opinion of the council provided
that the said opinion is supported by at least three Muftis of the council.
The council maintains its secretariat and a well-equipped library as the Head Office of the
bank where it keeps proper records of all of its proceedings and decisions.
The council may whenever it thinks necessary, constitutes a subcommittee to help the
council.

Some of people think there is a common interest and profits. In fact, interest and profit are not
the same. There are two differences between the theoretical and the practical. Now I discuss the
riba and profit in the given below:
Riba:
Dictionary Meaning: Arabic word Riba means increase, excess, expansion, addition, growth,
superior, increase of anything from its original amount.
Technical Meaning: It means interest, usury, sud etc. Riba is an increasing which is without
an equal counter value.
Definition of Riba: In Short sense “Riba is a predetermined, fixed and time-related excess
over the above the principal of loan”. In Broad sense, “Riba technically refers to the premium
that must be paid by the borrower to the lender along with the principal amount as a condition for
the loan or for an extension in its maturity”.
Profit:
Dictionary Meaning: Arabic word for profit means ‘Ribhun’. This means growth, surplus,
residual, addition to capital.
Definition of Profit: Profit is the difference between the value of production and the cost of
production which is Halal according to Islami Shariah. Profit on loss comes from investment in
business activities. Profit is the result of ownership transaction and risk following the four stages:
SL No Riba Profit

Application Stage: At this stage the bank will collect necessary information about the
prospective client. For this reason, bank informs the perspective client to provide and or
fill duly respective information which is crucial for the initiation of the investment
proposal. Generally here all the required documents for taking investment have to prepare
by the client himself. Documents that are necessary for getting investment of IBBL are
prescribed below:
Appraisal Stage: At this stage, the bank evaluates the client and his or her business. It is
the most important stage. On the basis of this stage the bank goes for sanctioning the
proposed investment limit/proposal. If anything goes wrong here, the bank suddenly stops
to make payment of investment.
In order to appraise a client, Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited (IBBL) provides a standard F-
167B form (Appraisal report) to the client for gathering all the information. The original copy of
the appraisal report is enclosing in the appendix chapter. However, the following contents are
presented from that appraisal report:
Cash/Goods :
o Bai-Murabaha: 25% cash security on cost price to be subsequently
converted to goods security.
o TR (Trust Receipt): Without cash security.
Cash / Goods securities: In allowing Murabaha investment and amount of cash security is
generally realized from the client (amount depends on the nature of goods, creditworthiness of
the client, collateral security obtained etc.) Which is converted to goods security after purchase
of goods purchased out of banks investment and client’s cash security is pledged to the bank,
kept under banks custody before it’s delivery to the client on payment. If for a Murabaha
investment cash security is fixed at 25% Banks investment stands 75% on the total goods
purchased. For example, if cost of total goods purchased is tk. 100000 bank investment will be
tk. 75000 and clients cash security will be tk. 25000.
Documentation Stage: At this stage, usually the bank analyses whether required
documents are in order. In the documentation stage, Islami Bank Bangladesh limited
(IBBL) checks the following documents of the client:

The special features of the investment policy of the bank is to invest on the basis of profit – loss
sharing system in accordance with the tenants and principles of the Islamic shariah which is
already mentioned in the “Policy of investment of IBBL” part. Earning of profit is not the only
goal an objective of the Bank’s investment policy rather emphasizes is given on attaining social
goal and objective in creating employment opportunity. The Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited
follows the modes of investment presented in the following diagram.

MECHANISM OF INVESTMENT HPSM
Bai means trading. Bai-mechanism means purchase and sale of goods in cash or on credit or in
advance at an agreed upon profit, which may or may not be disclosed to the client. Majority of
investment of Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited (IBBL) are extended through this mechanism. A
good number of investment products have been designed to facilitate mainly working capital
financing. This mechanism can be further drawn into 6 categories as follows:-
Bai-Murabaha: The term Bai- Murabaha has been derived from the Arabic word
“Bai’un and Ribhun” means “Purchase and sales”. Bai-Murabaha means sale on agreed
upon profit.It is contract between a buyer and a seller under which the seller sells certain
specific goods permissible under the Islamic shariah and law of the land, to the buyer at a
cost plus agreed upon profit.
Bai-Muajjal: The term Bai- Muajjal has been derived from the Arabic words (Bai’un
and Ajalun) meaning purchase and sale and a fixed period or fixed time respectively. It is
contract between a buyer and a seller under which the seller sells certain specific goods
permissible under the Islamic shariah and law of the land, to the buyer at an agreed fixed
price payable at a fixed future date in lump sum or within a fixed period by fixed
installments. The seller may also sell the goods purchased by him as per order and
specification of the buyer.
It is permissible by the client to offer an order tom purchase by the bank particular goods
deciding its specification and committing himself to buy the same from the bank on Bai-
Muajjal i.e., deferred payment sale at fixed price.
It is permissible to make type promise binding upon the client to purchase from the bank
that is he is to either satisfy the promise or to indemnify the damages caused by breaking
the promise without excuse.
Cash / collateral security can be taken to guarantee the implementation.
Permissible to document the debt resulting from Bai-Murabaha by a guarantor, or a
mortgage, or both like any other debt. This may be taken on the time of signing of the
agreement.
Stock and availability of the goods is a basic condition for signing the agreement.
Therefore the bank must purchase the goods as per specification of the client to acquire
ownership of the same before signing the agreement with the client.
The bank must deliver the specific goods to the client on specific place time and date as
per the contact.
The price once fixed as per agreement and deferred cannot be further increased.
The Bank may sell the goods at one agreed price which will include both the cost price
and the profit.
Unlike Bai-Murabaha; the bank may not disclose the cost price and the mark up
separately to the client.
Bai Salam: The term Bai Salam has been derived from the Arabic words (Bai’un and
Salamun).The word Bai’un means purchase and sale and the word Salamun means
advance. So the word Bai Salam combindly means the purchase and sale or trading in
advance payment. It is contract between a buyer and a seller under which the seller sells
in advance certain specific goods permissible under the Islamic shariah and law of the
land, to the buyer at an agreed price payable on execution of the said contract and the
commodities/ Products is / are delivered as per specification, size, quality, quantity at a
future time in a particular place.
In other words, Bai – Salam is a sale whereby the seller undertakes to supply some
specific commodities / Products to the buyer at a future time in exchange of an advanced
price fully paid on the spot.
Here the price is paid in cash, but the delivery of the goods is deferred.
Bai Salam is a mode of investment allowed by Islamic shariah inn which the
commodities Products can be sold without having physical existence or the
physical/constructive possession of the seller. If the commodities or products is ready
for sale
Bai-salam is not allowed in shariah, and then the sale may be done either in Bai-
Muajjal or in Bai-Murabaha mode of investment.
Generally, Industrial and agricultural products are purchased / sold in advance under the
Bai Salam mode of investment to infuse finance so that production is not hindered due
to shortage of fund / cash.
It is permissible to obtain collateral security from the seller client to secure the
investment from any hazards of production. Non supply / partial supply of commodities
/ products etc.
It is also permissible to obtain mortgage and or personal guarantee from a third party as
a security before signing the agreement or at the time of signing the agreement.
Bai-salam on a particular commodities / products or on product of a particular field or
farm cannot be affected. For Agricultural product only.
The seller (manufacturer) client may be made agent of the bank to sell the goods
delivered to the bank by him provided a separate agency agreement is executed between
the bank and the client (Agent).
Bai-Istisna: Istisna is a contact between a manufacturer /seller and a buyer under which
the manufacturer/seller sells specific goods products after having manufactured,
permissible under Islamic shariah and the law of the land after having manufactured at an
agreed price payable in advance or by installments within a fixed period or on within a
fixed future date on the basis of the order placed by the buyer. some specific features of
the Bai-istisna is given below.
The share mode of investment is practiced quite more than before now a days. The share mode of
investment implies the practice of investment based on shared liability and possibilities of return
and loss. The share mode of investment of IBBL is basically divided in two ways. Those are
Mudaraba and Musharaka modes of investment.
Mudaraba is a partnership in profit whereby one party provides capital and the other
party provides skill and labor. The provider of capital is called “Sahib- al- mal” , and
the provider of skill and labor is called “Mudarib”
There are two types of mudaraba contact practiced by the Islami bank Bangladesh Limited
(IBBL) as follows:-
Shirkat
Ijarah
Sale
Shirkat: Shirkat means partnership. Shirkatul Melk means share in ownership. When
two or more persons supply equity, purchases an asset, own the same jointly, share the
benefit as per agreement and bear the loss in proportion to their respective equity, the
contract is called Shirkatul melk contract.
Ijarah: Ijarahas been derived from the Arabic word Air and Ujrat which means
consideration, return, wages or rent. This is really the exchange value or consideration,
return, wages, rent of service of an asset. Ijarah has been defined as a contract between
two parties, the Hire and the Hirer where the hirer enjoys or reaps a specific service or
benefit against a specific consideration or rent from the asset owned by the hire. It is a
hire agreement under which a certain asset is hired out by the hire to a hirer against fixed
rent or rentals for a specified period.
According to the majority of Fuqaha, there are three general and six detailed
elements of Ijara.
The wording
Contracting parties
Subject matter of the content
The hire (Muajjir)
The hirer (Mustajir)
The rent (Ajr or Ujrat)
Sale: This is a sale contract between a buyer and as seller under which the ownership of
certain goods or asset is transferred by seller to the buyer against agreed upon price paid /
to be paid by the buyer. Thus in hire purchase under shirkatul melk mode both the bank
and supplier provide equity in equal or unequal proportion for purchase of an Asset like
land building, machinery, transport etc. Purchase the asset with that equity money, own
the same jointly, share benefit as per agreement and bear the loss in proportion to their
respective equity. The share part or portion of the asset owned by the bank is hired out to
the client partner for a fixed rent per unit of time for a fixed period. Lastly the cells and
transferees the ownership of its share / part/ portion to the client against payment of price
fixed for that part either gradually part by part or in lump sum within the hire period or
after the expiracy of the hire agreement.
Types of sale contact under the Hire Purchase under the Shirkatul Melk
HPSM through gradually transfer of legal title or ownership of the hired asset
HPSM through transfer of title by gift.
HPSM through transfer of legal title (sale at the end of hire period for a token
consideration.)
HPSM through transfer of legal title (sale) at the end of Hire Period for
payment of a specified amount to the hire by the hirer.
HPSM through transfer of legal title (sale) period at the end of the hire term
for a price that is equivalent to the remaining Ijarah/rental instruction.

gives notice for three months. For five-year term loan, IBBL gives notice for six months. And for
more than five-year term loan, IBBL gives notice for more than 12 months.
After giving notice, if the borrower does not repay the loan, the loan will be considered as
classified. Pursuant to Bangladesh Bank's Banking Regulation and policy Department's Circular
No. 16 (1998), loans and advances are classified both on aging and functional criteria as follows:
Investment
Classification
Unclassified Classified
Investment Investment
Unclassified Investment:
The loan account is performing satisfactorily in the terms of its installments and no overdue is
occurred. This type of loan and advances are fall into this class.
Classified Investment
These are the loans which the bank finds overdue after the due date. The bank applies its
predefined policy and procedures, after a loan becomes classified.
Special Mention Account (SMA)
When loan installment is first missed by the borrower, the loan account is classified as a special
mention account (SMA). The tenure of SMA varies with the category of loans.
Sub-Standard
If a loan is not repaid of reschedule within the SMA period, it becomes sub-standard
loan. From this stage the loan is treated as defaulted. Interest is treated the same way as in
SMA. This classification contains where irregularities have occurred but such irregularities.
The main criterion for a substandard advance is that despite these technicalities or irregularities
no loss is expected to rise for the bank. These accounts will require close supervision by
management to ensure that the situation does not deteriorate further.
Doubtful
This classification contains where doubt exists on the full recovery of the loan and advance along
with a loss is anticipated but cannot be quantifiable at this stage.
If a loan is not repaid or reschedule within the sub-standard period, it becomes a doubtful loan
interest will be treated as before in this stage.

However, we can see the graph(Figure 4.2) that the growth rates of deposit of IBBL were
fluctuating. Growth rate of deposit 19.50% to 17.10% in 2010 to 2011 and this trend line was
decreased and also decreased 22.23% to 13.23% in 2012 to 2013 because in this year to
occurrence political instability, economic terminate and then break down the capital market so
the deposit growth rate decreased from 13.23% but in the next year 2014 the growth rate of
deposit increased 18.51%. But in the others year increased the growth rate of deposit 17.10% to
22.23% in 2011 to 2012 and also increased 13.23% to18.51% in 2013 to 2014. Because that year
some political instability and economic unrest so client’s mental satisfaction about job which
helps to provide better customer service.
Table 4.2: Year Wise Investment & Growth Rate (Source: Annual report of IBBL)
Trend of Investment
In Million TK
Year
Interpretation: There is an increasing trend of investment of IBBL. From the above chart we
can see the graph (Figure 4.3) that the lowest deposit was TK 263,225 million in 2010 and the
highest amount is TK 463,475 million in 2014 that year increased the deposit trend line and 2013
year some decreased TK 406,817 to 403,195 million. The reason of increasing trend of
investment because IBBL invest in diversified (including microcredit to large).The reason of
decreasing trend of investment in 2012 to 2013 the amount was TK 406,817 to 403,195 million
because that time IBBL faces many problems like as politically instability, economic unrest, lack
of proper utility facility.
However, we can see the graph (Figure 4.4) that the growth rates of deposit of IBBL were
fluctuating. Growth rate of deposit 22.65% to 13.93% in 2010 to 2014 and this trend line was
decreased. We can see in 2011 to 2012 the growth rate investment was increased in 16.19% to
21.93% and also increased in 2013 to 2014 the growth rate was 9.09% to 13.93%. The reasons of
increasing the growth rate investment are that year IBBL properly invested because economic
condition was good could not faces political problem. The reasons of decreasing in trend in this
year to occurrence political instability, economic terminate and then break down the capital
market so the investment growth rate decreased and also many new industry and factory came in
the market so the trend line decreased in the growth of investment.
Investment to deposit ratio measures the portion of deposit used for investment in loan products.
The more the ratio the more the bank is using its deposit as investment.
Table 4.3: Year wise Investment to deposit ratio (Source: Annual report of IBBL)
Investment to Deposit Ratio
Interpretation: The graph shows that investment to deposit ratio has fluctuated over the years.
In the graph (Figure 4.5) we have seen that the ratio has decreased from 90.17% in 2010 to
79.88% in 2014. The reasons of decreased because IBBL has hold deposits amount year by year
and then they have now surplus of money but they can’t properly invested the money because
some of political unrest, economic terminate faces every year and then the IBBL securities are
strong all the investment documents. So, they can’t find the good business holder to invest them.
We know if Investment increase and on the other hand total investment increased than ultimately
investment ratio decreased.

amount of TK 225,876 and 281,556 million that means sale for which payment is made at a
future fixed date or within a fixed period in short, it is a sale on credit. The main reason is the
clients choose the Bai-Murabaha because it can’t faces many documentation problem so clients
freely select the Bai-Murabaha. The second maximum portion of investment is in HPSM mode
which percentage are 24% both the year in 2013 and 2014.The HPSM mainly used in Ijara
mechanism so clients choose secondly the HPSM. The bank invests in other modes at lower
percentage. The lowest portion was invested in Bai-salam at 1%.Bai-salam can’t choose many
clients because it uses export in outside country so clients face many problems in the documents.

Recommendations
Putting recommendation is very complex for me with my short experience & knowledge but with
my shallow knowledge. Though Islami Bank Bangladesh Ltd. (IBBL) is performing well but it
has some crucial areas to improve which are prescribed below:
The growth rate of deposit of IBBL has increased over the years. Bank should give more
effort to maintain and improve its growth of deposit by increasing their branches,
providing more customer services like-prompt service, developing new savings scheme.
The growth rate of investment of Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited has increased in 2014
but Bank should try more to increase investment by enlarging its investment sectors.
In 2014, investment to deposit ratio of IBBL is 79.88% and industry average 90.17%. So,
the bank should increase its investment from its deposit.
Islami Banks in Bangladesh may expand their network in other division by expanding
branches.
As the major portion of classified investment is in bad and loss category and the portion
of bad and loss increased in recent years, the bank should try to reduce his portion.

bankers and bureaucrats, lenders and lawyer. May suggest the following recommendations for
sound and success investment in the by Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited.

Islamic environment. It is one kind of problem to maintain Shari’ah base banking activity for
IBBL. Although IBBL facing some problems. It has bright future day by day. It is enhancing its
