knowledge. When we are able to apply our theoretical knowledge to our working are we

come to know the true benefits of our knowledge. Internship program gives us such an

opportunity of applying our theoretical knowledge to our working life. When theoretical

knowledge is obtained from a course of study it is only the half way of the subject matter.

I$" Islamic "ank %imited has failed to generate new ideas for technological

Harketing policies of this "ank are very poor.

Such a big share of classified loan indicates weakness in the lending policy of the bank.

"ank cannot provide new facility to the e+isting employees as bonus or other benefits.

5.1) 9olicy #mplemetatio

%ack of $orporate @overnance' insider lending' increasing amount of defaulters and

fictitious loans' provision deficit and some other similar factors are contributing in making

I$" Islamic "ank immensely incompetent in the commercial banking sectors.

According to my personal observationJ I$" should improve its Harketing policies' cancel

giving out big share of classified loans' improve facilities for the e+isting employees so as

not to loose out &ualified bankers and suffer critical loss through the process of having a

great deficiency in skilled man power. I$" should focus on investing their deposit in

proper portfolio and also in different sectors to increase annual profit scale.

I strongly believe that I$" should provide a more intensive technical support to its

customers and in this tech era providing some necessary features like AH services'

Internet banking etc is very important for a developing bank. "ank should also develop

various new schemes which will definitely raise interest among customers and bring

strengthen ties between the "ank and the customers' strengthening relationship should now

be a number one priority. elationship cannot be reinforced until customer satisfaction is

reached its prime' providing &uality banking services not only benefit the customers but

actually it benefits the bank by bringing large amount of customers who stay loyal to the

bank and form a close affiliation with it. o increase the total e+port4import business I$"

should implement new marketing strategy which is necessary to compete with other "anks

strategically shaped incentive packages will help in providing necessary means for the bank

to hold on their foreign customers and add new names to the directory. I$" can provide

foreign market reports' which enables them to e+port and evaluate their products in foreign

countries.

I$" has a genuine network of more than D? branches across the country providing a

supportive role for the central bank of "angladeshJ it is earning a chunk amount of foreign

e+change which in turn is helping to strengthen economic wealth of the nation. echnicale&uipment those being installed are new and much more efficient then the e+isting setup in

our country. And now only if regularity in preserving a proper relationship is maintained

then hopefully we will observe a favorable environment for private sector development'

opportunities for newer employment will provide fresh thinking tactic into the system and

will eventually help to raise the standards of service.

6.7 ,ocl!'io:

I$" Islamic "ank %imited being a leading member of private sector in Islamic banks in the

country endeavored to adjust itself to this new situation by adopting pragmatic policies and

strategies. he "ank faces the challenges as new banks are arising and many foreign banks

start their journey. $ontinued efforts have been made to enhance the growth and

development through the realistic policy pursued by the "oard of 2irectors and

Hanagement. In addition to that determined and dedicated professional efforts of the

*+ecutives' Officers and *mployees helped the "ank to merge ahead to fulfill the

commitment.

/roper financial system of a country can contribute towards the development of that

country,s economy. In our country' banks have a leading power to contribute in financial

system. )or this reason' the banks should have a potential role to make our financial system

stronger. In this arena' private commercial banks are playing a vital role in the development

of our economy. "ut @ovt. and "angladesh "ank play a crucial role to the private

commercial banks through imposition of deposit restriction' lending role and other banking

operations. In recent years of banking business' I$" Islamic "ank %imited has shown
