Rational of the study:

Banking sector is one of the flourishing sectors in the economy of Bangladesh. It is empowering

a significant number of workforce men as well as women. Now a large number of women are

joining and are becoming keen to join in the banking industry. So care should be given to

empower women and their problems. Empowerment of women is for the socio-economic

development of a country. In Bangladesh banking sector is flourishing. So empowering women

in this sector is much easier and need less effort.

We are assigned to prepare a report on Women empowering & banking practices in

Bangladesh: An Empirical study. This is such an issue that has immense influence on the

economic development of Bangladesh because without empowering women a country cannot be

developed. And it is much easier to empower women in banking sector.

Objective of the study

The basic objective of this paper is to be acquainted with the employment status of the

banking sector of Bangladesh, basically the empowerment of women in the banking

sector. We have to analysis the empowerment of women, the facilities given by the banks

to the women bankers, the position held by the women bankers, problems faced by the

women in their working places and how to solve these problems to empowering the

women in the banking sector.

Limitation of the report

In preparing the Report, we have experienced some acute problems that have, to some

extent, affected the presentation of the report. The acute problems were

a) LACK OFINFORMATION ORDATA:

Adequate and in-depth well-organized literature was not available because a few

researchers endeavored to work on such project in the past. Though the officials

tried to assist, sometimes their working pressure couldn't give me proper

assistance what I needed. There is some information which needed special

permission from top level, is not always achievable.

b) TIME CONSTRAINT:

Though we got time but it is not sufficient to prepare a good report.

d) Verification Problem:

Information from other banks faces the verification problem. There is no scope for

authenticate this data from any reliable source.

e) Availability of Reference Books:

Availability of the reference book is another limitation.

In spite of all the drawbacks faced, everything has been managed well at the end. We

believe the report is a quality report.

Methodology:

To meet the objectives of the study, we realized that a single method would not

be effective. Formal & oral discussion, direct observation, questioning clients &

printed papers of the Bank were found useful. To collect the necessary and

meaningful information, the following methods were applied. Both primary and

secondary sources were used here.

SOURCE OF INFORMATION:

I have collected data from the two unique sources; one is primary sources and another is

secondary sources.

RELIABILITY OF COLLECTING DATA:

The data collected are highly reliable in the sense that all data generated in the report are

used exclusively by those banks. The auditors report on the financial statements and the

correspondence with different desks generate the reliable information to compose the

report successfully.

Abstract:

The banking system at independence consisted of two branch offices of the former State

Bank of Pakistan and seventeen large commercial banks, two of which were controlled

by Bangladeshi interests and three by foreigners other than West Pakistanis. There were

fourteen smaller commercial banks. Virtually all banking services were concentrated in

urban areas. The newly independent government immediately designated the Dhaka

branch of the State Bank of Pakistan as the central bank and renamed it the Bangladesh

Bank. The bank was responsible for regulating currency, controlling credit and monetary

policy, and administering exchange control and the official foreign exchange reserves.

The Bangladesh government initially nationalized the entire domestic banking system

and proceeded to reorganize and rename the various banks. Foreign-owned banks were

permitted to continue doing business in Bangladesh.

Cooperative credit systems and postal savings offices handled service to small individual

and rural accounts. The new banking system succeeded in establishing reasonably

efficient procedures for managing credit and foreign exchange.






in this sector is much easier and need less effort.

We are assigned to prepare a report on Women empowering & banking practices in

Bangladesh: An Empirical study. This is such an issue that has immense influence on the

economic development of Bangladesh because without empowering women a country cannot be

developed. And it is much easier to empower women in banking sector.

Banking Industry-Overview:

The Banking Industry in Bangladesh is one characterized by strict regulations and monitoring

from the central governing body, the Bangladesh Bank. The chief concern is that currently there

are far too many banks for the market to sustain. As a result, the market will only accommodate

only those banks that can transpire the most competitive and profitable ones in the future.

Currently the major financial institutions under the banking system include:

Bangladesh Bank Commercial Banks Islamic banks Leasing Companies

Finance companiesOf these, there are four nationalized commercial banks (NCB), 5 specialized banks, 11 foreign

banks, 26 domestic private banks, 6 Islamic banks are currently operating in Bangladesh.

The range of banking products and financial services is also limited in scope; all local banks

must maintain a 4.5% Cash Reserve Requirement (CRR), which is non-interest bearing and a

16% Secondary Liquidity Requirement (SLR). With the liberalization of markets, competition

among the banking products and financial services seems to be growing more intense each day.

In addition, the banking products offered in Bangladesh are fairly homogeneous in nature due to

the tight regulations imposed by the central bank. Competing through differentiation is

increasingly difficult and other banks quickly duplicate any innovative banking service.

THIRD GENERATION PRIVATE COMMERCIAL BANK

OBL is a private sector commercial bank dedicated in the business line of taking deposits from public

through its various saving schemes and lending the fund in various sectors at a higher margin.

However, due attention is given in respect of risk undertaking, risk hedging and if not appropriately

hedged, reflection of the same in pricing. In the financing side, the bank's major concentration is in

trade finance covering about 20.88% of total financing as on YE2006 which is mainly a short-term

investment. The banks financing concentrate in both, working capital finance and long-term finance.

OBL has major concentration of financing in medium and large industries. Since the short-term

finance carries low risk compared to long-term finance; the financing strategy of OBL will assist the

bank to keep the risk at minimal.

While financing the industrial sector, the major concentration of the bank appeared to be in the textile

and RMG sector; both the above sectors cover 30.89% of the total portfolio. OBL also involved in

cement construction and transport sector financing. In the investment portfolio, OBL have substantial

investment in quoted and non-quoted shares of different organization including some very prospective

financial institutions. The bank has shown its acumen in reducing its exposure from ship scrapping

sector, steel re-rolling where the bank had investment earlier. With the increase in exposure to RMG,

the bank has increased its non-funded business income substantially. With an age of only 8 years, the

Problems Faced By Women in Banking Sector:

After analyzing the employment status of women of five banks we see some problems in the

field of women empowerment. The discussion of the problems are given below

Societys Attitudes towards Working Women: Though as a country we are stilldeveloping, we are lagging behind in our attitudes towards working women. So women

get less cooperation from the society. Societys attitude is a great problem for women

empowering in banks as well as for all working women.

Hostile attitude of other employees: Moreover women get less cooperation from theirfellow bankers of opposite sex.

Family support: Sometimes women get less family support for working in a bank.However this situation is now changing and women are being encouraged by their family

for banking jobs.

Working Environment: In banking sector fewer banks can ensure better workingenvironment for women. This is a problem for women bankers.

Transportation: One of the vital problems for women is transportation or flexibility of theworkplace.

Maternity or other leave: Banks are less willing to provide women with maternity orother preparatory leaves. Their attitude in the case is that it will hamper their workings.

Womens attitude: One of the problems of empowering women in banking is womenthemselves. Women are less likely to see themselves in the top position of banks. They

are less willing to lead.


29/33

Recommendations




empower women and their problems. Following are some recommendations to solve the

problems of empowering women in banking sector.

Awareness: Awareness should be created to develop a positive attitude towards workingwomen. Women can get better working environment when society, their fellow

colleagues and they themselves are aware.

Flexibility in workplace: The bank avoids moving their female employees to differentsections. They do very ordinary works. But they have talents, excellence to perform in

any section of work.

Promote to management committee: From the above information about the number ofemployee we see that there is only one female director in management committee. It

indicates a huge gap of female employment. The bank should promote more experienced

female employee to the management committee.

Day care home: The bank should establish a day care home, where the female employeesput their children. It will be helpful for them. The get relax. For this reason they will

perform their duty timely and sharply.

Cooperative environment: A cooperative environment should be established to ensureproper empowerment of women.

Preparatory leave: Women should be given preparatory leave such as maternity leave. Growing leadership quality: Women should be given adequate training and other

facilities to grow themselves as a leader.

Family support: Family support should be given.


30/33

Conclusion:






in this sector is much easier and need less effort. So necessary actions should be taken to

empower women in banking sector which will lead to the development of Bangladesh.
