Financial performance statements of commercial banks and presents a procedure for analyzing bank profitability and risks using historical data. The bank has advantage of loans & advance, remittance business, import, export business and foreign exchange. This procedure involves capital structure aggregate profit ratios into their components to help identify key factors that influence performance. Objectives of the Study 1. To evaluate the performance of the bank. 2. To establish relationship banking and improve service quality through development of Strategic Marketing Plans. 3.

To develop and retain a quality work-force through an effective human Resources Management System. 4. To evaluate the investment performance under loan and advance. 5. To explore the scenario of foreign exchange activities & performance of Jamuna Bank Limited 6. To know the overall functioning of Jamuna Bank Ltd. 7. To explore the general Baking scenario of JBL. 8. To have some practical exposures that will be helpful for my future career. Methodology This report has been prepared on the basis of experience gathered during the period of internship from 26 July 2009 to 3 September 2009.

For preparing this report, I have undergone group discussion, collected data and to the selected Officers and interviewed with some of them. I also studied different circulars, bank report and files of the bank. I hope these criteria will be enough to find out different picture of financial performance of the selected bank Jamuna Bank Limited. Sources of data: In order to make the report more meaningful and presentable, two sources of data and information have been used widely. The “Primary Sources” are as follows: ? Face-to-face conversation with the respective officers and staffs of the Branch. Informal conversation with the clients. ? Practical work exposures from the different desks of the departments of the Branch covered. ? Relevant file study as provided by the officers concerned. The “Secondary Source” of data and information are: • Annual Report of Jamuna Bank Ltd. • Various Books, articles, compilations etc. regarding general banking functions, foreign exchange operations and credit policies. • Different ‘Procedure Manual’, published by Jamuna Bank. • Banks financial statement. • Marketing research book. • Periodicals. • Bulletins. • Circular. Monthly transaction record of the bank. A good Annual Report is the mirror of a bank. I have gone through the “Annual Reports” of the bank very carefully. To compare the performance of NBL, I also collect the Annual Reports of International Finance Investment and Commerce Bank Limited (IFIC). I have chosen this bank as peer group of National Bank because this is belonging to first private sector bank. I posted the Balance sheet items and income statements of the bank on MS-Excel and SPSS software to calculate the Financial Ratios regarding bank’s performance.

In this case I have strictly followed the ratios given in the textbook of “Commercial Banking The Management of Risk” by Fraser, Gup & Kolari. Here I focused the profit ratios, Risk Ratios, Operating Efficiency and Liquidity Ratios. SCOPE OF THE STUDY This study is based of on theoretical discussion practical & mathematical analysis. it is hardly possible to become familiarized with the total banking system of the different organization particularly of the service-oriented organizations.

Therefore, the scope of the report encompasses the areas covered by the theoretical and the project part however the scope of the study is confined within the region of Agrabad. ? I have examined accounts statement of the bank. ? The major source of primary data in business respondent, corporate clients and individual. ? Discuss with the executives & officers. ? Going through printed material of the bank. ? Marketing of export items-its challenges and strategy. LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY Objective of the practical orientation program is to have practical exposure for the students.

Our tenure was for one month only, which was somehow not sufficient. After working whole day in the office it was very much difficult if not possible to study again the theoretical aspects of banking. Other Limitations are as follows: ? Research within a short period of time. ? Un-wiliness to disclose banks information as Premier Bank, shahjalal Bank. ? Work primary & interview and survey as well as banking activities. ? For the lack of our practical knowledge, so shortcoming may be available in the paper. ? The bank has naturally shown us some in difference connecting its most confidential information. The executives of Jamuna Bank Limited were too busy to spare time for the internee. ? The duration of our internship program is only one months. The allocated time is not sufficient for us to gather knowledge and to make the study a complete and fruitful one. ? The study also suffered inadequacy of data provided by JAMUNA Bank.

Foreign Exchange Regulation Items: 1. Local regulation for foreign exchange: Our foreign exchange transactions are being controlled by the following rules & regulation: ? Foreign Exchange Regulation Act 1947. ? Bangladesh Bank has published a book “Guideline for Foreign Exchange Transaction (Volume- 1 & 2)” to regulate foreign exchange. It is amended after every five years. Bangladesh Bank issues foreign exchange circular from time to time to control the export, import & remittance business. ? Ministry of Commerce issues export & import policy giving basic formalities for import & export business. ? Sometime Chief Control of Import & Export (CCI & E) issues public notice for any kind of change in foreign exchange transaction. ? Bangladesh Bank published two volumes in 1996. This is compilation of the instructions to be followed by the authorized dealers in transactions related to foreign exchange. ? Statutory Revenue Order (SRO). 2. International Regulation for Foreign Exchange: There are also some international organizations, influencing our foreign exchange transactions.

Few of them are discussed bellow: thousand of companies. It was founded in 1919. ICC has published some publications like UCPDC (Uniform Customs & Practices for Documentary Credit), URC, and URR (Uniform Rules of Reimbursement) etc. , which are being followed by all the member countries. Modes of opening a L/C (Letter of Credit) under JBL: ? 100% Margin L/C: In this way, bank only takes their service charge like commission, fax, telephone, and telex etc. charges. ? Partial Margin L/C: If client does not give 100% margin then the Bank participate with the client for the rest of the money. Here client’s margin treats as security or down payment.

Client pays the Bank’s proportion and profit after selling the imported goods. It is noted that before payment in full, goods will be under Bank’s custody. Activities of foreign exchange: There are three kinds of foreign exchange transactions: A) Import Business, B) Export Business, C) Foreign Exchange Remittance. Import Business Introduction: Importers are those who are authorized by the import trade control authority. Under the import policy of Bangladesh, the importer has get the valid Import Registration Certificate (IRC) from the Chief Control of Import & Export (CCI). Types of Importer: There are mainly two types of importers in JBL: ? Commercial importers, ? Industrial importers. Letter of Credit:

Letter of Credit (L/C) can be as a “Credit Contract” whereby the buyer’s bank is committed (on behalf of the buyer) to place an agreed amount of money at the seller’s disposal under some condition. The Uniform Customs & Practices for Documentary Credit (UCPDC) published by International Chamber of Commerce (1993) Revision No. 500 defines Documentary Credit: “Any arrangement however named or described whereby a bank (the “Issuing Bank”) acting at the request and on the instructions of a customer (the “Applicant”) or on its own behalf, ? Is to make a payment to or the order of a third party (the Beneficiary) or is to accept and pay bills of exchange (drafts) drawn by the beneficiary, or ?

Authorizes another bank to effect such payment or to accept and pay such bills of exchange (drafts) ? Authorizes another bank to negotiate against stipulated documents provide that terms and conditions are complied with”. L/C is called documentary letter of credit, because the undertaking of the issuing bank is subjected to presentation of some specified documents. Types of Documentary Credit: Documentary Credit may be three types: 1. Revocable Credit, 2. Irrevocable Credit, and 3. Add confirmed credit. 1. Revocable Credit: This type of credit can be cancelled or amended at any time by the issuing bank without prior notice to the seller. Now it is not used. 2.

Irrevocable Credit: This type of credit can’t be cancelled or amended by the issuing bank without the agreement of parties concerned thereto. All the credits issued in our country are in irrevocable nature. 3. Add confirmed credit: When a third bank provides guarantee to the beneficiary to make payment in case of failure of making payment of issuing bank, the L/C is called confirmed L/C. In case of confirmed L/C, a third bank adds their confirmation to the beneficiary to make payment in addition to that of issuing bank. Confirmed L/C gives the beneficiary a double assurance of payment. Special Documentary Credit: There are some other special documentary credits that are given below: 1. Revolving credit, 2.

Transferable credit, 3. Back-to-back credit. Revolving credit: This provides for restoring the credit to the original amount after it has been utilized. Transferable credit: If the word ‘Transferable’ incorporated in an L/C, then the L/C is transferable. The first beneficiary can transfer transferable L/C to second beneficiary. But second beneficiary cannot transfer it further to another beneficiary. Back-to-back credit: The back to back is a new credit opened on the basis of an original credit in favor of other beneficiary; under this concept the seller of the first credit offers it as security to the advising bank for the assurance of the second credit.

The beneficiary of the back-to-back credit may be located inside or outside the original beneficiary’s country. Description of the above indicators: ? Buyer offers his Bank to open a L/C. ? Opening Bank sends L/C to the Advising Bank. ? Advising Bank transfers L/C to the supplier. ? Supplier sends shipment documents to the Negotiating Bank and also claims on this bank. ?

Opening Bank has an A/C in reimbursement bank (Nostra A/C). Opening Bank request to pay the required amount to Negotiating Bank from their Nostra A/C. ? Reimbursement Bank pays the L/C value to Negotiating Bank. Parties involve in documentary credit: ? The Issuing Bank: This is the bank, which issues documentary credit on account of its client. ? The Advising Bank: This is the bank, acting as agent of the issuing banks to advice the L/C to the beneficiary. ? Negotiating Bank: This bank provides value to the beneficiary against presentation of documents complying credit terms. Usually this is exporter’s bank that purchase the export documents. Reimbursing Bank: This bank acts as an agent of the Issuing Bank, authorized to make payment or to honor reimbursing claim of the Negotiating Bank. ? The Applicant / Importer / Buyer: The importer or buyer is the applicant of a letter of credit. Applicant must be a client of the Issuing Bank. ? The Beneficiary / Exporter / Seller: The exporter or seller of the goods is the beneficiary of a letter of credit. ? Notify Party: The party / bank to whom the arrival of shipment has to be notified or to be informed, is called notify party. Operation of Documentary Credit: A documentary letter of credit is one, which is undertaken by the issuing bank to honor the documentary bills.

Documentary bills may be bill of lading, bill of exchange, insurance cover note, transport document, consular invoice, certificate of origin, proforma invoice etc. The following five major steps are involved in the operation of a documentary credit: (i) Issuing, (ii) Advising, (iii) Amendment, (iv) Presentation, (v) Settlement.
