Maintaining Capital Adequacy
Banks capital adequacy was constrained during the year due to(i) issuance of Bond by the Government against
BPC, (ii) non-payment of LTR liability of some importing customers of food, raw cotton and fertilizer, (iii)
expansion of credit especially on power sector, (iv) increase of interest cost on deposit of Tk. 794 crore, (v)
introduction of new classification rules of Bangladesh Bank taking into consideration the international norms as
per agreement with the IMF. Consequently, classified loans and required provisions have increased to a large
extent. It has reduced profitability which adversely affected capital adequacy. However, we are expecting
improvement in regards to classified loan, required provision as well as capital adequacy in the coming future.

Risk
Management
44
Risk is defned as probability or threat of a damage, injury,
liability, loss or other negative occurrence that is caused
by external or internal vulnerabilities and that may be
neutralized through preemptive action. It is unexpected
and negative outcome of an institute or an individual. So,
for every large institute like Banking, it is a must to manage
risk for its better sustainability. ABL is one of the largest
SCBs in the country and it has a number of subsidiary
companies at home and abroad. It has a large exposure
of assets and liabilities shown on balance sheet and other
related accounting papers. So the prime objective of its
management is to safeguard its assets and comply with
the obligations or liabilities from any arisen risk during its
operation. Many types of risks may arise in banking and
NBFIs sectors which widely discussed and hedged are as
follows:
1. Credit Risk
2. Asset-Liability Management Risk
3. Money Laundering Risk
4. Foreign Exchange Risk
5. ICC Risk
6. ICT Risk
Strategy of Risk Management
Risk is inherent in every business. Todays global and
dynamic business entities are facing various dimensions
in the feld of risks. So before introducing a new product or
extension of existing products it is inseparable to use tools
to mitigate future risks. Considering various types of risks
ABL has adopted strong and integrated risk management
strategies in line with its regulatory bodies directives and
Bangladesh Governments policies. ABL is a state-owned
entity. So it has a direct accountability to the mass people
and ABL tries its best to comply with the commitment by:
Growth of business
Risk adjusted performance measurement
Consistency of earnings
Quality and transparency of management
ABL has an independent division named Core Risk
Management & Basel-II Implementation Division. This
Division collects data from other divisions monthly,
quarterly, half yearly or yearly as available. Then fndings
of the segments are discussed in monthly meeting of
the division chaired by the CEO& MD of the Bank. If any
deviation or deterioration is found, immediate corrective
measures are taken. Bangladesh Bank, as a regulatory
body, has prescribed format to refect Banks total scenario.
ABL complies with the directives & submit to concerned
department of Bangladesh Bank.
Risk Management Process
Banking business is mainly a business of lending and
borrowing. It collects deposits from the depositors by
paying different rate to different deposit products and
invests as loans and advances to the borrowers at higher
rate. The spread between the two is Banks proft. So, a
risk always inherits from the counterparty. Sometimes the
borrowers are unwilling to pay back money they borrowed.
So, necessary steps are being taken prior to risky events.
These risks can be measured fnancially in line with
international standard. Capital is sized for every probable
risk. ABL takes well-calculated business risks to safeguard
its assets and proftability as per the adopted guidelines of
BB. The board of directors is the highest authority to approve
the policies and process submitted by the management.
After approval, the management implements through
different divisions of head offce and branches in feld level.
ABL has (i) Audit Committee (ii) Management Committee
(MANCOM) (iii) Credit Committee (CRECOM) (iv) Asset-
Liability Management Committee (ALCOM) to monitor and
review activities relating to risks and development.
1. Credit Risk
Risk arising from noncompliance of commitment of
the counterparty or the borrower is defned as Credit
risk. Lending with terms and conditions in line with
regulatory bodys directives and governments policies
is the main business of a bank. ABL had a sophisticated
risk management system from the very beginning of its
operations. But at todays global and domestic socio-
economical scenario it has got a new dimensional
nimbleness. So before sanctioning a credit, it is a must to
analyze future risk. For this, ABL has a dedicated team of
offcers and executives to assess the future (simple and
complicated) uneven situation that may hinder the return
of lending with its spread. To overcome this adversity, ABL
has a rigorous policies and procedures on various key
risk factors regarding initiation to the settlement of a loan
for the safeguard of Banks assets. Bank selects quality
borrowers who have the ability or potentiality of willingness
to honor all credit commitments in stipulated time. The
potentiality of the project is carefully justifed in this regard.
In ABL a thorough assessment of risk is done before
granting or extending credit and a plan in this regard is
worked out. The Bank has segregated duties among the
offcers and executives involved in credit related activities.
The total team works accordingly. ABL has a system of
tracking risky and potentially weak loan accounts. Bank
has dedicated teams to monitor and supervise them.
Respective assigned person promptly reports to delegated
authority to take measure so that the loan may not be
downgraded and hindered the assets portfolio of the bank.
To co-ordinate with higher management and feld level,

Financial and (ii) Physical collateral. The objective of credit
risk management is to bring back lended money safely and
strengthen the bank as well as national economy.
Credit Risk Assessment
To extend credit facilities ABL takes qualitative and
quantitative measure for the viability of the proposed
project. By the option qualitative means persons fnancial
and business deal, commitment and viability of the project
in the context of national economy. On the other hand
quantitative means the part that can be numerically
assessed. Credit risk is hedged or mitigated with following
tools and mechanisms:
a) Proper documentation: After receiving a credit
proposal, relevant papers to be asked from the
counter party and fll up them properly. On the
other hand, some prescribed forms are also
supplied in which terms and conditions in line with
Banks internal and other regulatory bodys policy
are refected. After examining by both ends, the
bank and the counterparty reach to an agreement.
b) Collateral: Collateral offered is the main tool to
mitigate future credit risk. So collateral offered
against credit facility is properly valued and
verifed by the concerned offcer/manager and
revalued and re-verifed by the enlisted surveyor
of the bank. If found satisfactory in terms of
economic consideration and easily transferable in
Banks favor, then collateral is acceptable.
c) Insurance coverage: To address future risk
on collateral, adequate insurance coverage is
ascertained. Customers desire for not taking
required insurance policy must be considered as
deviation.
d) Syndicated loans: Syndicated loans are
assessed independently by ABL. If its quality,
returns and risks are not acceptable, ABL does
not depend only on lead arrangers report.
2. Asset-Liability Management Risk
Asset-liability risk or liquidity risk is the risk of a banks
earnings as well as capital which arises from inability to
meet obligations in time when they become due without
incurring unacceptable losses. Liquidity risk arises as a
result of mismatch during the time of cash fows. When a
bank does not have suffcient fnancial resources to meet
its obligations and commitments, as they fall due, then
the bank makes its payment at an excessive cost. Infact,
liquidity risk is considered a major risk for Banks.
The objective of liquidity risk management is to ensure
that all foreseeable funding commitments and deposit
withdrawals can be met when due. Considering all these
factors Agrani Bank Limited has established an effective
ALM process, which performs the followings:
Maintain required /adequate liquidity at all times.
Maintain diversifed and stable funding base
comprising of core, retail, corporate and
institutional deposits.
Leverage the negative correlation between
liquidity and proftability without taking any
excessive risk.
To meet short term cash fow demands through
asset maturities and customer deposits.
Trading risk management.
Regulatory compliance.
Bank's overall liquidity risk management function is carried
out by its Treasury Division. To maintain the activities, ABL
has Asset-Liability Committee (ALCOM) headed by MD &
CEO and comprises senior management members from
key areas of the bank under approved policy guidelines.
ABL follows a standard practice to conduct ALCOM
meeting at least once in a month. On its monthly meeting,
the ALCOM takes necessary action regarding liquidity
based on historical requirements, current liquidity position,
anticipated future funding requirement, sources of fund,
options for reducing funding need, present and future
earning capacity, present and planned capital position,
market interest rate, maturity gap analysis etc. Decisions
taken in the ALCOM meetings are duly recorded and
action plans are developed and implemented accordingly
to optimize the fnancial performance of the bank.
3. Money Laundering Risk
Money laundering is the process by which large amount of
illegally obtained money is given the appearance of having
originated from a legitimate source. Money laundering
refers to a fnancial transaction that aims to conceal the
identity, source, and destination of illicitly-obtained money.

ABL is committed to the highest standards of Anti- Money
Laundering (AML) compliance as per the provisions of the
prevailing Money Laundering Prevention Act, the guidance
notes of Bangladesh Bank and other concern authorities.
As part of money laundering risk management, the Bank
carries out the following activities.
i) KYC system: ABL has been maintaining a unique KYC
system under the following elements:
a) Customer Acceptance Policy: ABL has a clear
customer acceptance policy with explicit criteria
to ensure that customer/entity is using their real
name and not involved in terrorism or other illegal
activities.
b) Customer Identifcation Procedure: ABL has a
unique customer Identifcation procedure such as
a new customer must be verifed by a bonafde
customer. Concerned bank offcer also justifes
his/her objective before establishing relationship
with the bank.
c) Monitoring of Transactions: To reduce risk,
effective KYC procedure is maintained for
continuous monitoring of our customer transaction
and their normal behavior.
d) Risk Management: ABL maintains internal
audit and compliance functions to reduce money
laundering risk.
ii) Cash Transaction Report (CTR): ABL sends Cash
Transaction Report (CTR) to the Bangladesh Bank in every
month for the customers depositing or withdrawing cash
above Tk 1.00 million in any day at any of its branches.
iii) Suspicious Transaction Report (STR): ABL also
reports to the Bangladesh Bank on Suspicious Transaction
as and when it is identifed.
iv) Transaction Profle (TP): In TP every customer must
specify the types, probable frequency and amount of
transactions of his account.
v) Data Update: Once validated, profles are periodically
updated as soon as there is a change; whether its a
change of address or the addition of a new relationship/
information to the profle.
vi) Guideline: ABL has its own policy guidelines on money
laundering prevention and combating the fnancing of
terrorism approved by the Board.
vii) Training: Regular training is being given to employees
to update their knowledge and to make them aware of their
responsibilities in combating against money laundering
and terrorism fnancing risk on the banks part.
viii) CAMLCO and BAMLCO: ABL has its CAMLCO and
BAMLCO to ensure regular monitoring, compliance and
accountability both at Head Offce and at Branch level in
line with Bangladesh Banks instruction.
4. Foreign Exchange Risk
Managing foreign exchange risk is a fundamental
component in the safe and sound management of all
institutions having exposures in foreign currencies. Foreign
exchange risk is defned as the risk that a bank may suffer
losses as a result of adverse exchange rate movements
during a period in which it has an open position either
spot or forward currency. Investors or businesses face an
exchange rate risk when they have assets or operations
across national borders or if they have loans or borrowings
in a foreign currency.
A comprehensive foreign exchange risk management
program requires establishing and implementing sound
and prudent foreign exchange risk management policies,
developing and implementing appropriate and effective
exchange rate management and control procedure. The
responsibility of managing foreign exchange risk rests with
the Treasury Division of the bank. Treasury Division always
monitors the market scenario of risk and manages the
foreign exchange operations in such a way that earnings
are not hampered against any adverse movement in
market prices. To address the issue, all foreign exchange
activities have been segregated into Front Offce which
is responsible for currency transactions, Mid Offce
which deals verifcation & limit monitoring & Back Offce
which deals settlement of transactions. These offces
have separate and independent reporting lines to ensure
minimization of risk.
Agrani Bank Limited has formulated policies and
manuals with a view to reducing the foreign exchange
risk. Treasury division of the bank manages and controls
day-to-day trading activities under the supervision of
ALCOM that ensures continuous monitoring of the level of
assumed risks. In ABL, FOREX risk is minimal as all the
transactions are carried out on behalf of the customers,
i.e. foreign exchange trading exposures are principally
derived from customers driven transactions. All Foreign
exchange transactions are revalued at mark-to-market
method according to Bangladesh Banks guidelines. All
Nostro accounts are reconciled on 15 days basis .The
management reviews outstanding entry beyond 15 days
for settlement purpose.
The Bank has an accounting procedure and management
information system to measure and monitor foreign
exchange position, foreign exchange gains or losses and
foreign exchange risks. Besides, these are independently
inspected and audited.
5. Internal Control and Compliance Risk
Banking function entails high risk. Effective internal control
and compliance system, effcient corporate governance,
transparency and accountability are very important for
the banking sector worldwide. Internal control system
identifes the risk in the process, adopts mitigation
47 Annual Report 2012
measures and ensures compliance thereof. Current
or prospective compliance risk to earnings and capital
arises from violation or non-compliance with laws, rules,
regulations, agreements, prescribed practices or ethical
standards, as well as from the incorrect interpretation
of laws and regulations. Proper internal control system
integrates compliance risk management into overall risk
management process.
Internal control and compliance is a management process
designed to achieve:
Effective system of control
Effectiveness and effciency of operations
Reliability of fnancial reporting
Compliance with applicable laws and regulations
Safeguard of assets
Internal control consists of fve interrelated components,
which are:
i) Control Environment
ii) Risk Assessment
iii) Control Activities
iv) Information and Communication
v) Monitoring
To assess the business risk as well as control risk
associated with the branches, Bank has been implementing
Risk Based Internal Audit (RBIA) in the daily activities
of the Bank in light of core risk factors. The Bank has
already brought out its internal control manual to set out a
strong internal control framework within the organization,
which focuses on monitoring the functioning of various
departments/divisions of Head Offce and branches on
regular basis. Internal Control and Compliance Division
(ICC) reviews Departmental Control Function Checklist
(DCFCL), Loan Documentation Checklist (LDCL) and
Quarterly Operations Report (QOR) of the branches
regularly to ensure internal control process of the bank.
Comprehensive audit and inspection is being carried out on
regular basis in ensuring internal control and compliance.
Each year the Audit & Inspection Division sets out an
audit plan (internal) for the year which is approved by the
Board Audit Committee. The Audit & Inspection Division
submits reports to ICC Division after completion of audit
and inspection. The ICC Division places a summary report
on audit fndings to the Audit Committee for information
and necessary suggestions.
Utmost importance is given to the audit report and
suggestions of the auditors. Bank takes corrective
actions regarding the lapses mentioned in the report.
During 2012 the Board Audit Committee conducted 14
meetings in which various audit and inspection reports,
appropriateness of internal control and compliance,
policy guidelines etc. were reviewed and evaluated and
necessary instructions and guidelines were provided. The
committee ensures that the effective measures are taken
by the management if any defciency or lapse is found in the
internal control system. The committee evaluates whether
management is setting the appropriate compliance culture
by communicating the importance of internal control to
ensure that, all employees of the bank have understood
their roles and responsibilities.
6. Information and Communication Technology Risk
We are living in an era of ICT. Banks have become more
technology driven these days. Uses of computer and
internet have become inseparable phenomenon in the
banking industry. There are certain risks involved in the
use of information and communication technology. This
risk may arise from malfunctioning of the system, failure
of network, lack of knowledge about the use of technology,
virus attack, hacking etc.
Agrani Bank Limited has initiated various measures to
address and to minimize Information and Communication
Technology risks. ABL has formulated ICT policy following
the ICT Security Guidelines of Bangladesh Bank which is
approved by the Board of Directors. ABL has an ICT audit
and security management team formed as per the Central
Banks Guidelines. The Bank formulated job description,
job specifcation and roster duty for each individual within
IT & MIS Division for smooth running of business and to
avoid risk. Employees are given adequate training on
aspects of sensitive ICT tasks. The Bank has established
a secured environment for data processing. ABL has
established priority based information systems to protect
data. It has also taken steps to secure data by keeping
backup at an international standard Disaster Recovery
Center (DRC). ABL has introduced Core Banking Software
TEMENOS T24 for online banking operations. Some
other customized software have also been introduced to
bring out the overall banking transactions of the bank in
line with the online banking.
In addition, the Bank also manages the risk, taking into
consideration the reputation risk, liquidity risk, operational
risk, market risk, credit concentration risk, interest rate risk,
settlement risk, environmental and climate risk, residual
risk and equity price risk which are elaborated below:
a) Reputation Risk
Reputation risk arises from negative publicity about which
the Bank is always alert.
b) Liquidity Risk
The Bank is capable of managing the liquidity risk to
ensure that all foreseeable funding commitments and
deposits withdrawals can be met when due.
c) Operational Risk
The Bank ensures quick and proper management
of operational risk which may arise from fraud, error,
omission, unauthorized activities, ineffciency, system
failure from external events.
48
d) Market Risk
The market risk which may derive from loss of earnings
due to change in the interest rate, foreign exchange rate
etc.
e) Credit Concentration Risk
Credit concentration risk may arise from credit exposures
in the same economic or geographic sector and/or credit
concentration in dependent industries which the Bank
addresses through proper evaluation. Credit Concentration
of Agrani Bank Limited is used in a broader sense and
includes the following:
i) Concentration by economic purpose (Sector),
ii) Concentration by size of Loan Accounts/ in the
name of a single borrower,
iii) Concentration by a legally connected group of
borrowers,
iv) Concentration by region (Geographical),
v) Concentration by portfolio type (Granularity)
f) Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate risk is the current or potential risk to earnings
and capital arising from adverse movements in interest.
This is in respect of the banking book only from pillar 2
(SRP) contexts. Signifcantly reduced earnings can pose
a threat to capital adequacy. After volatility of earnings the
Bank analyses to overcome interest rate risk.
g) Settlement Risk
Settlement risk arises when an executed transaction is
not settled as the standard settlement system. Settlement
risk addresses to the credit risk and liquidity risk elements.
Treasury transactions, trading book items (deals) and
capital market dealings are a mix of credit and liquidity risk.
The bank poses to the risk when it fulflls its contractual
obligations (payment or delivery), but the counterparty fails
or defaults to do the same.
h) Environmental and Climate Change Risk
Environmental and climate change risk refers to the
uncertainty or probability of losses that originates from any
adverse environmental or climate change events (natural
or man made) and/or the non-compliance of the prevailing
national environmental regulations. It can hamper the
business stability of the borrowers in respect to both-
proftability and reputation. To avoid this risk bank takes
cautionary initiatives before the disbursement of loan.
i) Residual Risk
It refers to the risk arising from the collateral taken and
other forms of shielding against credit risks. These risks
comprise legal, documentation, value of collateral,
insurance risk etc. For example, inability to seize collateral
at the opportune moment, guarantor refusing his obligation
or ineffectiveness of untested documentation might turn to
potential non-performance of these assets. ABL is aware
of residual risk and takes legal or practical steps for its
management.
j) Equity Price Risk
Equity risk is defned as losses due to change in market
price of the equity held. To measure and identify the risk,
mark-to-market valuation of the share investment portfolios
is done by the Bank.

Disclosure under Basel-II
Qualitative and Quantitative Disclosures
Under Pillar-3 of Risk Based Capital Adequacy
as of 31st December 2012
The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision published a framework for international convergence of capital measurement
and capital standards commonly termed as Basel II replacing the previous rules under 1988 Basel I accord.
In Bangladesh, Risk Based Capital Adequacy for Banks (Revised regulatory capital framework in line with Basel II) came
into effect fully from January 2010 following the BRPD circular # 20 Dated- December 29, 2009 after parallel run with
Basel I during the year 2009.
Agrani Bank believes that Basel II is not merely a reporting system but a principle on which overall banking business
runs. With a view to facilitating smooth implementation, the Bank has formed a high powered committee. This committee
forecast the future follow up of the overall implementation status and way out the probable solution to cope with the
international best practices and to make the banks capital more risk sensitive as well as more shock resilient. The Bank
has also formed a Supervisory Review Process (SRP) team to participate the dialogue with the Supervisory Review
Evaluation Process (SREP) team of BB in respect to assessment of the adequate capital requirement.
The Basel II principle stands on the following three pillars:
Pillar-1 : Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR)
Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR) that needs to be maintained by banks to cover credit, market and operational risk
as a regulatory requirement.
Pillar-2 : Supervisory Review Process (SRP)
SRP basically deals with other risks faced by a bank not covered in pillar-1. The key principle of SRP is that banks have
a process for assessing overall capital adequacy in relation to their risk profle and a strategy for maintaining their capital
at an adequate level. The assessment of adequate capital would be the outcome of the dialogue to be held between the
banks SRP and Bangladesh Banks SREP team.
Pillar-3: Market Discipline
To make public disclosure of information on the banks risk profles, capital adequacy and risk management processes.
The objective of introducing Market Discipline in the revised capital framework is to establish more transparent and more
disciplined fnancial market so that stakeholders can assess the position of a bank in regard to holding assets and to
identify the risks relating to the assets and capital adequacy to meet probable loss of assets.

4. Credit Risk
Qualitative Disclosures
a) Credit risk is the risk of fnancial loss resulting from failure of a client or counter party to meet its contractual obligations
to the Bank. Bank is exposed to credit risk from its dealing with or lending to corporate, individuals, and other banks
or fnancial institutions. As regards capital charge for Credit Risk, all assets in Banking Book have been risk-weighted
strictly based on pre-specifed weight as fxed by Bangladesh Bank as per RBCA guidelines. However, the Bank has
conducted proper mapping with the grading of Bangladesh Bank for those exposures or claims graded by External Credit
Assessment Institution (ECAI).
Defnitions of past due and impaired (for accounting purposes).
Any claim or exposure that has been overdue for 90 days or more is called past and impaired loan in accordance with
the defnition given by Bangladesh Bank as per section-5(CC) of the Bank Companies Act, 1991.
Description of approaches followed for specifc and general allowances and statistical methods.
The Bank has been following Standardized Approach for assessing the requirement of Capital charge against Credit
Risk. The methodology used for this approach is to rate the exposures by the External credit Assessment Institution
(ECAI).
Discussion on the banks credit risk management policy:
Considering the key elements of credit risk, the bank has established Credit Risk Management framework in line
with the Bank Credit Risk Management (CRM) policy guideline and the Credit Risk Grading (CRG) system. This
framework defnes CRM structure, role, responsibilities and the processes to identify, quantify, and manage risk
under the given policy. The CRM policy is reviewed from time to time for adoption of new techniques, policies for
measurement and management of risks in line with the socioeconomic scenario and investment environment of the
country.
ABLs credit policy is based on the customers need for their business and security, earning capacity of borrower, the
repayment capability of the business, and the value of collateral.
The Credit policy of the bank is focused on the economic goal of the country and policies adopted by the Government. It
strives towards the materialization of the Government policies leading to overall economic development of the country.
The policy stresses the need to give special attention to problem loans and to initiate appropriate action to protect the
Banks interest on a timely basis.
ABL strictly adheres to the regulatory policies; a rule etc. as regard to credit management and is in compliance with
regulatory requirements as stipulated by Bangladesh Bank from time to time.
The objective of credit risk management is to minimize the different dimension of risks associated with credit exposures
and to maintain credit risk profle of the bank within a tolerable range.

5. Equities: Disclosures for Banking Book Positions
Qualitative Disclosures
a) The general qualitative disclosure requirement with respect to equity risk, including:
Differentiation between holdings on which capital gains are expected and those taken under other objectives
including for relationship and strategic reasons; ABL has considerable investment in equity shares of various
companies and mutual funds and has active participation in the secondary market. Board, Executive and
Investment committee for the management of investment portfolio and its associated risk to which bank may
be exposed. In the investment process ABL strictly follows the internal policies and procedures put into place
in this respect. ABL also holds unquoted equities intent of which is not trading and the same are shown as
banking book asset in the balance sheet. As these securities are not quoted or traded in the bourses they
are shown in the balance sheet at cost price and no revaluation reserve has been created against these
equities.
57 Annual Report 2012
The equity markets are traditionally volatile with a high risk, high- returns profle. In an uncertain market
place like the present, investors cannot afford to place all hope in only one product. Therefore, it is very
important to protect the total investment value by means of diversifcation.
Equity holdings in the banking book are recorded in the books of accounts at cost price. Adequate provisions
are made against equity holdings in case any decrease of value of equity holdings.
Quantitative Disclosures
b) Value of investments disclosed in the balance sheet, as well as the fair value of those investments; for quoted
securities, a comparison to publicly quoted share values where the share price is materially different from fair
value.
Provisions are kept against publicly quoted shares where the share price is materially different from fair value which is
negative. However, no unrealized gain from publicly quoted share is accounted for. Only realized gain is accounted for
in case of publicly quoted shares.
c) The cumulative realized gains (losses) arising from sales and liquidations in the reporting period.
d) Total unrealized gains (losses)
Total latent revaluation gains (losses)
Any amounts of the above included in Tier-2 capital.
e) Capital requirements broken down by appropriate equity groupings, consistent with the banks Methodology,
as well as the aggregate amounts and the type of equity investments subject to any Supervisory provisions
regarding regulatory capital requirements.
TK. 129.03 crore (Investment in unquoted share Tk. 1032.26 Crore 1.25 Risk weight 10% Capital requirement) has
been assessed against unquoted equity holdings and shown in MCR.
6. Interest rate risk in the banking book (IRRBB)
a) Qualitative Disclosures
The general qualitative disclosure requirement including the nature of IRRBB and key assumptions, including loan pre-
payments and behavior of non-maturity deposits, and frequency of IRRBB measurement.
Interest rate risk is the potential that the value of the on- balance sheet and the off-balance sheet positions of the bank
would be negatively affected with the change in the interest rates. Changes in interest rates also affect the underlying
value of the bank assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet instruments because the economic value of future cash fows
changes when interest rates changes.
The Bank uses a simple Sensitivity Analysis as well as Duration Gap Analysis to determine its vulnerability against the
adverse movement of market variables.
ABL discusses the interest rate issue in its ALCOM meeting on monthly basis. In addition, ABL assesses the interest
rate risk using simple duration analysis as per the formula given by Bangladesh Bank in its guidelines on Stress Testing.
For change in interest rates, currently, ABL is more risk sensible for its Assets comparable to its Liabilities.
The Bank is on a continuous process of re-structuring its assets and liabilities to make a balance between them and to
bring the situation back in its favor for any change in interest rate.
b) Quantitative Disclosures
The increase (decline) in earnings or economic value (or relevant measure used by management) for upward and
downward rate shocks according to managements method for measuring IRRBB, broken down by currency (as
relevant).

1) Impact on earnings and
2) Impact on Capital requirements.

Views of the Board of Directors (BOD) on trading/investment activities.
Market risk arises from the movement of market prices. The BOD of the Bank views the Market Risk as the risk to the
banks earnings and capital due to changes in the market level of interest rates of securities, foreign exchange and
equities as well as the volatilities of those changes. Market Risk Management provides a comprehensive and dynamic
framework for measuring, monitoring and managing interest rate, foreign exchange as well as equity, commodity price
risk of a bank that needs to be closely integrated with the banks business strategy.
Methods used to measure Market risk
The Bank uses the standardized (Rule Based) approach to calculate market risk for trading book exposures
Market Risk Management system
Decision taken in the monthly meeting of Core Risk Management and ALCOM is an important tool for managing market
risk. ALCOM is in place in the bank to administer the system.
Policies and processes for mitigating market risk

people, systems, external causes, fraud, unauthorized activities, error, omission, ineffciency, systems failure or external
events.
Performance gap of executives and staffs:
Performance goals are most often attained by executives and staff with a few exception.
Potential external events:
ABL, as a state owned commercial bank, is exposed to directed loans as the major external event.
Policies and processes for mitigating operational risk:
The ABL manages this risk through a chain based processes which are documented, authorized and independent.
Transactions, events etc. that are being taken place at the operational level monitored and reported.
If deviations are found, corrective actions are taken to bring the deviation back into the track.
An MIS is in place and is used to identify record and assess any kind of operational risk and to generate appropriate
regular management reporting.
Since ineffciency is one of the root causes of operational risk, the Bank trains its operational staff on regular basis to
make them more effective and effcient for mitigating operational risks.
Approach for calculating capital charge for operational risk:
The Bank uses the Basic Indicator Approach to calculate the capital requirement of its operational risk.
Quantitative Disclosures
The capital requirements for operational risk: TK. 285.66 crore.
Corporate Social Responsibility
The role of business, in worldwide and especially
in the developing countries, has evolved over the
last few decades from classical profit maximizing
approach to a social responsible approach. There
are many reasons for shifting the role of business
from classical concept to a social responsible
approach. Enterprises create wealth and job
opportunities for the society and on the other hand,
they pollute and destroy environment and ecology
with the devastating impact on human health and
bio-diversity worldwide. The concept of social
responsibility of a company is recent phenomenon
but many observers agree that the globalization
has spurred its growth and prominence.
Primarily, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
starts with the consideration of social implications
by any corporate body which is ultimately reflected
through its initiatives towards betterment of the
disadvantaged peoples of a society. As a
stakeholder of the society, Agrani Bank Limited is
keen to augment CSR activities gradually in the
days to come. As such in broadly defining, CSR
refers to the voluntary role of business towards
building a better society and cleaner environment
beyond its financial commitments and regulatory
obligations. Considering importance of CSR,
Bangladesh Bank since June 2008 has officially
started encouraging towards mainstreaming CSR
in banks and financial institutions of Bangladesh.
Agrani Bank Limited passionately believes that a
better society is fundamental precondition for a
better business environment. As such, CSR is
viewed as one of the core corporate values of the
bank. In its millennium summit held at the UN
Head Quarters, New York, USA in 2000; the United
Nations set eight goals popularly known as
Millennium Development Goals, such as: i)
eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, ii) achieve
universal primary education, iii) promote gender
equality & empower women, iv) reduce child
mortality, v) improve maternal health, vi) combat
HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases, vii) ensure
environmental sustainability and viii) develop a
global partnership for development. Bangladesh is
one of the signatories to achieve those goals by
2015. As such, ABL has aligned her CSR activities
partially with those goals.
Agrani Bank Limited is committed to contribute
towards social development through its CSR
program. ABLs ethical standard is not only meant
for maximising profit, rather its vision is to build up
a society where human dignity and rights receive
the highest consideration and evaluation. Banks
motto is also to improve the society and its culture
by means of CSR.
Education
Akin to the previous years, ABL has donated a
sizeable amount to various educational
institutions. In the year, the bank donated Tk.
281.18 lac to 68 beneficiaries. These helps were
extended for renovation/construction of
building/class rooms of different schools, colleges,
universities, libraries etc; giving stipend to the poor
meritorious students; sponsoring various
seminars, conferences, convocations, alumnies,
anniversaries, drama festivals, competitions,
training programs; observing important national
days etc. With a view to providing a smooth
interface between student life and professional life,
ABL offers internship facility to the BBA and MBA
students of different universities. The interns were
granted the opportunities to groom with us in a
truly professional, dynamic and challenging
corporate environment.
Health Care
Access to healthcare facilities is one of the
fundamental rights of every human being.
However, most of our people, especially the
underprivileged group has little or no access to
health care facilities. As such, ABL is committed to
assist those poor people, who have no way to
secure basic treatment. During the year 2012, the
bank has given financial assistance from its CSR
fund a sum of Tk. 85.32 lac to 127 beneficiaries to
ease their miseries.
Disaster Relief
ABLs lending policies with regard to
environmental management are responsive to
emergency support needs of population groups
affected by natural and man made disasters.
During the year 2012, the bank has spent Tk.

cold stricken poor people of the country in the
districts of Rangpur, Dinajpur, Thakurgaon,
Gaibandha, Kurigram, Panchagarh, Mymenshingh

In the year 2012, the bank contributed 2.00 lac to
Make Rajshahi Green Project and Tk. 5.00 lac to
BAPA (Bangladesh Paribesh Andolon) for
International Conference on Environment in South
Asia. Today our planet is exposed to a severe
environmental catastrophe than ever before. ABLs
corporate social responsibility contributes
generously to the development of Green Banking.
Protection and thus nourishing the environment is
part of ABLs investment principle. Environmental
issues are taken into account while the bank is
assessing credit proposal for the industrial
projects. As a humble effort to reduce
environmental pollution, the bank is financing CNG
refueling stations. Besides, most of office vehicles
of the bank have already been converted to CNG
fueling system.
Sports
In the year 2012, the Bank has donated Tk. 21.15
lac to 8 beneficiaries of different football and hokey
clubs and tournaments for the promotion of games

been participating in the national football league
relentlessly since independence. In several times
the team defeated renowned clubs of the country
like Mohamadan, Abahony, Brothers Union etc.
The bank has also a cricket team of its own that
has been participating in the first division cricket
league since independence. The team frequently
succeeds to keep its ranking position from three to

footballers are playing in the national and
international levels who were once member of ABL
sports team.

the bank also donated Tk.18.45 lac to other related
projects/programs.
Customers and Well-wishers
ABL feels proud to provide services to the valued
costomers without any hidden cost. The bank
serves to customers as a business partner. The
bank sincerely strives to improve business
relationship with the customers for common
benefit. By optimising financial performance at the
least cost the bank protects the interest of
customers. The bank is maintaining a good
relationship with the business friends for mutual
growth and development. The relationship with our
business partners is based on reciprocal trust and
respect. We transact with them in a fair and
transparent way.
Poverty Alleviation
It is globally accepted that the Non-Government
Organizations (NGOs) have been performing a
laudable role in poverty alleviation across the
globe, especially in Bangladesh. With a view to
widening the access to finance to the poor and
ultra poor community, ABL has been financing
NGOs since 1997 at privileged rates of interest.
ABL financed NGOs are of various categories and
capacities. Such activities also contributed to
generation of income and employment as well.
Promotion of Crop Production
To attain food security of the country ABL has been
providing credit facilities to the farmers at a lower
rate of interest (currently at 8 percent) since 1977.
A huge amount of foreign currency is spent in
every year to import pulse, oil-seeds, spices,
maize etc. In order to save foreign currency, the
Government of Bangladesh encourages our
farmers to boost up the production of above crops
by introducing rebate rate of interest and ABL is
one of the major participants of this initiative. In this
sector, ABL disbursed an amount of Tk.1,623.20
lac in the year 2012.
Promotion of Entrepreneurship
The bank envisaged fostering entrepreneurship
amongst the potential, new and small
entrepreneurs and generating employment
through financing Small and Medium Enterprises.
keeping the aim in mind, ABL does not only run
after the so called blue chips towards profit
maximize of the bank. Rather, it always remains
stick to the triple bottom line: People, Planet &
Profit and focused to the promotion of SMEs. In
this way, a lot of entrepreneurs have grown with us
through which employment opportunities are
created for a huge number of people.
Women Empowerment
As half of our population is woman, a sustainable
national progress cant be attained, if women are
left aside. Therefore, they should progressively be
brought to the mainstream of our development
activities. Considering this reality the bank through
its Nari Agrani program has been mobilizing credit
facilities in industry, service and business sector to
the potential women entrepreneurs at a reduced
rate of 10 percent interest. So far the bank has
financed several woman entrepreneurs and it will
gain due momentum in the days to come.
Awareness Building
Generation of awareness is a very useful tool to
combat social evils, like drug addiction, smoking,
pollution, terrorism, population etc. For this
purpose, the bank has continued support to
different social organizations who displayed
banner, festoon sticker, display board and use
such other communication channels for
discouraging drug, smoking, pollution, population
growth etc. The Bank continued such awareness
building activities for the year 2012.

Corporate Social Responsibility
The role of business, in worldwide and especially
in the developing countries, has evolved over the
last few decades from classical profit maximizing
approach to a social responsible approach. There
are many reasons for shifting the role of business
from classical concept to a social responsible
approach. Enterprises create wealth and job
opportunities for the society and on the other hand,
they pollute and destroy environment and ecology
with the devastating impact on human health and
bio-diversity worldwide. The concept of social
responsibility of a company is recent phenomenon
but many observers agree that the globalization
has spurred its growth and prominence.
Primarily, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
starts with the consideration of social implications
by any corporate body which is ultimately reflected
through its initiatives towards betterment of the
disadvantaged peoples of a society. As a
stakeholder of the society, Agrani Bank Limited is
keen to augment CSR activities gradually in the
days to come. As such in broadly defining, CSR
refers to the voluntary role of business towards
building a better society and cleaner environment
beyond its financial commitments and regulatory
obligations. Considering importance of CSR,
Bangladesh Bank since June 2008 has officially
started encouraging towards mainstreaming CSR
in banks and financial institutions of Bangladesh.
Agrani Bank Limited passionately believes that a
better society is fundamental precondition for a
better business environment. As such, CSR is
viewed as one of the core corporate values of the
bank. In its millennium summit held at the UN
Head Quarters, New York, USA in 2000; the United
Nations set eight goals popularly known as
Millennium Development Goals, such as: i)
eradicate extreme poverty and hunger, ii) achieve
universal primary education, iii) promote gender
equality & empower women, iv) reduce child
mortality, v) improve maternal health, vi) combat
HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases, vii) ensure
environmental sustainability and viii) develop a
global partnership for development. Bangladesh is
one of the signatories to achieve those goals by
2015. As such, ABL has aligned her CSR activities
partially with those goals.
Agrani Bank Limited is committed to contribute
towards social development through its CSR
program. ABLs ethical standard is not only meant
for maximising profit, rather its vision is to build up
a society where human dignity and rights receive
the highest consideration and evaluation. Banks
motto is also to improve the society and its culture
by means of CSR.
Education
Akin to the previous years, ABL has donated a
sizeable amount to various educational
institutions. In the year, the bank donated Tk.
281.18 lac to 68 beneficiaries. These helps were

building/class rooms of different schools, colleges,
universities, libraries etc; giving stipend to the poor
meritorious students; sponsoring various
seminars, conferences, convocations, alumnies,
anniversaries, drama festivals, competitions,
training programs; observing important national
days etc. With a view to providing a smooth
interface between student life and professional life,
ABL offers internship facility to the BBA and MBA
students of different universities. The interns were
granted the opportunities to groom with us in a
truly professional, dynamic and challenging
corporate environment.
Health Care
Access to healthcare facilities is one of the
fundamental rights of every human being.
However, most of our people, especially the
underprivileged group has little or no access to
health care facilities. As such, ABL is committed to
assist those poor people, who have no way to
secure basic treatment. During the year 2012, the
bank has given financial assistance from its CSR
fund a sum of Tk. 85.32 lac to 127 beneficiaries to
ease their miseries.

ABLs lending policies with regard to
environmental management are responsive to
emergency support needs of population groups

cold stricken poor people of the country in the
districts of Rangpur, Dinajpur, Thakurgaon,

its Nari Agrani program has been mobilizing credit
facilities in industry, service and business sector to
the potential women entrepreneurs at a reduced
rate of 10 percent interest. So far the bank has
financed several woman entrepreneurs and it will
gain due momentum in the days to come.
Awareness Building
Generation of awareness is a very useful tool to
combat social evils, like drug addiction, smoking,
pollution, terrorism, population etc. For this
purpose, the bank has continued support to
different social organizations who displayed
banner, festoon sticker, display board and use
such other communication channels for
discouraging drug, smoking, pollution, population
growth etc. The Bank continued such awareness
building activities for the year 2012.

Impressive Track Record of Bangladesh
Economy
Bangladeshs track record of achievements, in
different sectors and according to various
performance indicators, bear evidence that she is
making impressive and encouraging progress
towards attaining her goal of being a middle
income country by 2021. Bangladesh was able to
accelerate her GDP growth from under 4.00
percent per year to over 6.00 percent within a span
of two decades. Our country has been able to
make commendable transition from a
predominantly aid-dependent economy to a
trading nation. The combined net foreign
exchange earnings from export of goods and
remittance are at present about fifteen times more
than the aid we receive annually.
Bangladesh has established herself as the second
largest exporter of apparels in the world, after
China; our shipbuilding, footwear, pharmaceuticals
and other non-traditional exports are showing
encouraging signs. Our farmers have increased
food grains production by more than three fold
since independence enabling Bangladesh to more
towards food security. Our economy has been able
to demonstrate impressive resilience in the face of
multiple global and financial crisis. Bangladeshs
track record in attaining key Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) including in the areas
of poverty alleviation, gender parity, and access to

Directors Report
to the Shareholders
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
Respected Shareholders
Assalamu Alaikum
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am indeed
delighted to present before you the sixth Annual
Report of Agrani Bank Limited. The report
evaluates and analyzes banks overall operational
performance of 2012 compared to that of 2011. I
would request you to read the information and
analyses in conjunction with the audited financial
statements presented herewith. The report also
presents an overview of the global economic
scenario and the performance of Bangladesh
Economy to put in perspective the banks
performance.
Global Economic Scenario
Immediately after the recovery from economic
crisis in 2010, the global economy is again facing
challenges as the recession re-emerged in the first
half of FY 2011-12 due to sovereign debt crisis in
several euro-zone economies and economic
instability in the USA. However, steps taken to
reinvigorate the USA economy and joint efforts to
protect euro economies from further effect of
recession have slightly watered down the effect in
the second half of 2011. Despite some
deceleration in the growth of the developed
economies and slight slowdown in economic
growth of emerging and developing countries
compared to the growth momentum in 2011;
economic growth of emerging and developing
countries remains fairly strong.
According to World Economic Outlook (WEO),
October 2012 of IMF, despite that the world
economic growth slowed to 3.30 percent in 2012
from 3.80 percent in 2011, it is projected to rise to
3.60 percent in 2013. Growth of high income
countries would deteriorate further from 1.60

health and education has received high global
acclaim.
These aforesaid achievements were possible
through a combination of factors: supportive
government policies and targeted resource
allocation; the hard work of farmers and workers at
home and abroad, contribution of the private
sector and our vibrant entrepreneurial class,
proactive role of our non-government actors
including in areas of disbursement of micro-credit,
development of micro-enterprises and raising
consciousness about economic and social issues;
target support provided by development partners.
Macroeconomic Scenario of Bangladesh
Economic Growth
Although the growth of Bangladesh economy
slowed down in the context of negative growth in
world trade at the beginning of the global financial
crisis in FY 2008-09, next year this growth
bounced back and average growth remained
above 6.00 percent in the last three years.
According to BBS, GDP grew to 6.71 percent in FY
2010-11 and the estimated GDP growth rate for FY
2011-12 is 6.32 percent. However, because of high
base effect induced by more than 5.00 percent
growth in agriculture sector during the last two
years, the growth of FY 2011-12 dipped a little
which is still satisfactory. Alongside, substantial
growth in industry and service sector has
contributed to overall GDP growth. In FY2011-12,
growth in agriculture, industry and service sectors
have estimated to 2.53 percent, 9.47 percent and
6.06 percent respectively. This year GDP and GNI
per capita stood at US$ 772 and US$ 848 which
were US$ 748 and US$ 816 respectively in the last
fiscal year.
Savings and Investment
Estimated domestic savings slightly increased
from 19.30 percent of GDP in FY 2010-11 to 19.40
percent of GDP in FY 2011-12. Investment in FY
2011-12 also showed similar feature with a slight
increase and stood at 25.40 percent of GDP in FY
2011-12 from 25.20 percent of GDP in FY2010-11.
Of which the share of private investment stood at
19.10 percent of GDP while that of public
investment was 6.30 percent in FY 2011-12. In FY

2010-11, the private and the public sector investments
were 19.50 percent and 5.60 percent of GDP
respectively. Major initiatives of the Government
implemented in infrastructure sector including power
and reduction in cost of doing business helped create
investment-friendly environment. In addition to this,
because of satisfactory growth of remittances, national
savings in FY 2011-12 upturned to 29.40 percent of GDP
from 28.80 percent of GDP in the previous year.
Inflation
The 12 month average inflation rate reached to
10.62 percent in FY 2011-12 which was 8.80
percent in FY2010-11. Oil and food inflation in
global market and excessive credit flows to
unproductive sectors were mainly responsible for
this upturn. Inflation on point to point basis in June
2012 stood at 8.56 percent which was 10.49
percent in March 2011. From the trend analysis of
inflation in Bangladesh, it is clear that in the first
half of FY 2011- 2012 general inflation went up
because of food inflation. However, at the end of
FY2011-12, non-food inflation was the key factor in
pushing general inflation upward. At this point in
time, food inflation recorded to 7.08 (monthly rate,
point to point basis) percent from about 13.00
percent in the same month of FY2010-11.
Satisfactory food production and supply of
essential commodities including demand
management through Open Market Sale (OMS) of
the essential commodities and sufficient stock of
food grains contributed to the efforts of pulling
down food inflation. On the other hand, there was
a non-food inflationary pressure due to price hike
in international market, depreciation in exchange
rate and adjustment of oil price. In order to contain
inflation, the Government has undertaken
necessary steps by forging better coordination
between fiscal and monetary policies. Although
there was a pressure of oil price adjustment on
food price, it was transitory. It is expected that
actions like discouraging credit flows to
unproductive sector alongside adopting restrained
and effective monetary policy will reduce the
inflationary pressure.

Fiscal Situation
Revenue Earning
A target for revenue receipt was set at Tk.1,18,385
crore (12.94 percent of GDP) in FY 2011-12 of
which NBR tax revenue accounted for Tk. 91,870
crore (10.00 percent of GDP), non-NBR revenue,
Tk. 3,915 crore (0.40 percent of GDP) and non-tax
revenue Tk. 22,600 crore (2.47 percent of GDP).
Against these targets, tax revenue from NBR
sources stood at Tk. 91,597 crore while revenue
receipts from non-NBR source and non-tax
revenue receipts were Tk. 3,633 crore and Tk.
18,550 core respectively in FY 2011-12. Total
revenue receipts increased by 19.53 percent from
Tk. 95,188 crore in FY 2010-11 to Tk. 1,13,781
crore in FY 2011-12.
Monetary and Financial Sector
Following the global financial crisis, monetary
policy stance was accommodative in FY2010-11
which has been adjusted in FY 2011-12 consistent
with the changes in the global and domestic
economic scenario. The monetary policy of FY
2011-12 was formulated to maintain a restrained
money supply and credit growth to manage the
pressure arising from a number of factors including
the lagged effect of high domestic credit growth in
the previous year, high inflation transmitted
through global price hike of essential commodities
including food items and huge borrowing from
banking system to meet government expenditure.
The restrained monetary policy was adopted to
ensure continued support for adequate credit flows
to the productive and priority sectors including
agriculture and SME, while controlling money
supply and credit to unproductive sectors. To
downturn the inflation into a tolerable level
Bangladesh Bank has re-fixed the policy rate of
REPO and reverse REPO at 7.75 percent and 5.75
percent respectively by raising 225 points on 4
occasions.
Interest Rate
There was a maximum cap of 7.00 percent interest
rate on export credit fixed since January 10, 2004

to facilitate export earnings. Recently, the cap on
interest rate on lending in all sectors other than
pre-shipment export credit and agricultural loans
has been withdrawn. This has brought
competitiveness among banks in fixing rate of
interest on lending in a rational manner. Banks are
allowed to differentiate interest rate up to a
maximum of 3.00 percent considering comparative
risk elements involved among borrowers in the
same lending category which they would promptly
expose in their respective website and inform to
the Bangladesh Bank.
External Sector
Export
In the wake of the recovery from global financial
recession, the export trade of Bangladesh made a
turnaround. However, sovereign credit crisis in
eurozone which is one of Bangladeshs main
export destinations is having its impact on export
trade. The export earnings of Bangladesh stood at
US$ 24,288 million in FY 2011-12, which was 5.90
percent higher than the export earnings (US$
22,928 million) of FY 2010-11. Export earnings in
FY 2011-12 by major categories increased mainly
for footwear (30.10 percent), engineering products
(21.10 percent), woven garments (13.90 percent)
and leather (10.80 percent). On the other hand,
export earnings dipped in respect of raw jute
(-25.40 percent), ceramic product (-10.20 percent)
and jute goods (-7.50 percent). Some of the
facilities under the incentive package declared by
the Government are still continuing. Assistance for
the entrepreneurs tiled New Market Exploration
Assistance announced under the incentive
package is also being extended this year for
diversification of goods and exploration of new
export market. In the meantime, export markets
have been created in Japan, Korea, South Africa
and Turkey. Besides, due to reduction of duties by
India, Bangladeshi commodities are having gainful
access to India.
Import
The total import payments (C&F) stood at US$
35,516 million during FY 2011-12, which was 5.50

percent higher than the import payments of US$
33,657 million of the preceding year. Although
import payments increased at the beginning of this
fiscal year due to price hike of fuel in the global
market and higher demand of fuel for electricity
generation, it slowed down towards the end of the
year as import of unimportant goods were
discouraged. Analyzing the category of imported
goods, it is observed that, import payments for
industrial raw materials, petroleum and petroleum
products increased by 22.75 percent, 11.15
percent and 21.76 percent respectively, while
import of capital machinery and primary
commodities decreased by 13.73 percent and
25.79 percent respectively.
Overseas Employment and Remittance
Although export of manpower slowed down in the
first half of FY 2010-11 because of the impact of
global recession, particularly on the real estate
markets in the Middle East, and on industrial
labour demand in some South East Asian
economies such as Malaysia, it began to increase
from January 2011. The amount of remittances
increased by 6.03 percent to US$ 11,650.32
million in FY 2010-11 compared to that of the
previous year. Bangladesh earned remittances of
US$ 12,843.40 million in FY 2011-12 which was
10.24 percent higher than the amount of the
previous year. The Government has undertaken
several initiatives including diplomatic approaches
to explore new markets. As many as 6.91 lakh
workers went abroad in quest of jobs in FY
2011-12, which was 57.40 percent higher than the
number stood at in the previous year. To begin
manpower export in full swing to Africa, East
Europe and Latin America, a number of diplomatic
initiatives have been undertaken alongside
establishing new labour wings in several countries.
There is also an attempt to impart training on
various trades to create skilled labour force to
meet the demand of labour markets abroad.
Balance of Payment
Trade balance recorded a rise in deficit by 3.20
percent to US$ 7,995 million in the FY 2011-12 as
compared to the deficit of US$ 7,744 million during
FY 2010-11. During this period, the current

account balance recorded a surplus of US$ 1,630
million as compared to the surplus of US$ 885
million of FY 2010-11.The deficit recorded in the
overall balance of payment stood at US$ 494

Medium Term Prospect of Bangladesh Economy
In the current context of domestic and global
economic scenario, a Medium-Term
Macroeconomic Framework (MTMF) for FY
2012-2016 has been worked out based on some
fundamental assumptions. Just after the recovery of
the world economy from yearlong global recession
during 2008-09, devastating tsunami and
destruction of nuclear power plant in Japan, the
ongoing sovereign debt crisis in several eurozone
economies and continuing economic instability and
high unemployment in the USA, have slowed the
pace of the world economic growth significantly. As
a result, the global output decreased in 2011.
However, afterwards, an integrated policy and
strategies to overcome the eurozone crisis,
rebouncing of US economic growth and sustaining
the domestic demand in emerging and developing
economies, it was expected that global output
would increase in 2012.
Different macroeconomic indicators for the next
fiscal year and over the medium term have been
updated in view of continued satisfactory
performance in revenue collection, growth in
agriculture sector, investment in infrastructure
including power, exchange rate stability and
containment of inflationary pressure.
In the Medium Term Macroeconomic Framework,
real GDP growth has been estimated at 7.20
percent for FY 2012-13, 7.60 percent for FY
2013-14, 8.00 percent for FY 2014-15 and 9.10
percent for FY 2015-16 respectively. It is expected
that investment will increase from 25.40 percent of
GDP in FY 2011-12 to 33.70 percent in FY 2016-17
where private and public investment will stand at
25.20 percent and 8.50 percent respectively. On
the other hand, domestic savings is expected to
increase to 22.40 percent from 19.60 percent and
national savings will go up from 29.40 percent to
32.80 percent in the medium term.

Development of agriculture sector including that of
power, energy and communication sectors are
crucial for achieving the desired growth of GDP.
Undertaking initiatives as envisaged in the
roadmap for power, exploring new gas deposits to
meet existing energy demand and utilising
renewable energy will ensure investment-friendly
environment in power and energy sector. It is also
expected that infrastructure deficit will be removed
by reinvigorating public-Private Partnership (PPP)
initiatives in the development of communication
sector and efficient and timely implementation of
Annual Development Program. In order to ensure
proper implementation of projects to be taken up
under PPP, a scheme has been worked out and a
set of policies and guidelines have been approved
by the Government.
In agriculture sector, there was a consistent and
positive growth over the last three years. Huge
government support such as subsidy, power
supply for irrigation, flow of agricultural credit,
innovation of new variety of salinity tolerant seed
and weather, and increasing assistance to
agro-based industries contributed significantly in
achieving sustainable growth in agriculture sector.
All these activities will continue which is expected
to support sustainable agricultural growth.
The estimated government expenditure stood at
16.50 percent of GDP in FY 2011-12 which is
expected to be 18.40 percent in FY 2012-13. The
target for FY 2016-17 has been set at 20.60
percent of GDP. Against this, expenditure on
Annual Development Programme is planned to be
increased from 3.90 percent of GDP in FY 2011-12
to 7.00 percent of GDP in FY 2016-17.
For financing the deficit, Government has planned
to reduce borrowing from the banking system. In
this regard, priority has been given to foreign
assistance which were committed and in pipe line.
For consecutive two years, Standard and Poors
(S&P) and Moodys retained the same sovereign
credit rating for Bangladesh. In their respective
lists rating for Bangladesh is BB- and Ba3.
According to this rating, in terms of credit
worthiness, Bangladesh is at par with the
Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam. Such rating
will decrease the cost of debenture and import
payment and will help in attracting more foreign
investment.

Containing inflation is a big challenge for
macroeconomic stability. In MTMF, inflation has
forecasted to bring down at 7.50 percent in the
upcoming fiscal year and that is expected to bring
out almost 5.00 percent. It was expected that the
steps taken to increase food production,
uninterrupted food supply and enhance food
security would also be helpful in reining on
inflation. Bangladesh Bank in its monetary policy
statement has laid emphasis on limiting money
supply and discouraging credit flow to the
unproductive sectors. Side by side, emphasis is
also given to ensure credit flow to productive and
priority sectors including agriculture and SME
sectors.
Financial recession in eurozone economies, one of
the major export markets of Bangladesh, has
affected its export sector slowing it down to 6.20
percent in FY 2011-12. However, it has been
possible to tackle the crisis through integrated
efforts of euro countries. Besides, initiatives on
exploring new markets and diversification of export
goods have already contributed to our economy,
though to a limited extent.
The remittances from expatriate Bangladeshi
workers grew by 10.24 percent during this year
which has been estimated to be 12.00 percent for
next years. It is expected that concerted efforts on
exploring new labour markets and intensive
diplomatic initiatives will increase expatriate
employment and contribute towards sustaining the
existing trends of remittance of flows. The current
account balance (CAB) decreased but in MTMF it
is expected to bring back in a positive territory.
Pressures on exchange rate and foreign exchange
reserve have been offset due to adoption of
effective fiscal and monetary policy stances. Both
the exchange rate and reserve situation remained
stable at the end of FY 2011-12. The goal of
maintaining macroeconomic stability together with
expected GDP growth and target of inflation will be
achieved if the future shocks from domestic as well
as external sectors could be tackled properly.
Digital Bangladesh
Its true meaning lies in proper application of
technology to implement all the commitments of

the government regarding education, health,
employment and poverty alleviation. The main
purpose of this idea is to improve the standards of
living of the people by empowering them, ensuring
transparency and accountability in all spheres of
life, establishing good-governance and, above all,
bringing public services to their doorsteps through
the most effective use of technology. In short,
Digital Bangladesh is a happy prosperous and
enlightened Bangladesh, which is free from
hunger, poverty, inequality and corruption and
belongs completely to its people and is driven
forward by digital technology.
Perspective Plan 2010-2021
The Government keeping in view the Golden
Jubilee of Independence has formulated
Bangladesh Perspective Planning 2010-2021,
in the light of Vision-2021 to attain a definite set of
objectives that relate to economic and social
development of Bangladesh. The document
reflects the hopes and aspirations of common
people which has been given the top priority and
incorporates the development philosophy of the
government, its longterm vision and strategic goals
of desired development. The fundamental
objective of this long term plan is to alleviate
poverty by achieving higher growth and to turn
Bangladesh into a medium income country where
poverty will be brought to the minimum and
regional disparity in the sphere of economic
development will be reduced significantly.

percent in 2011 to 1.30 percent in 2012 but is
expected to rise to 1.50 percent in 2013. It has
been forecasted for eurozone to have sluggish
growth of -0.40 percent in 2012 which was 1.40
percent in 2011 and is expected to grow to 0.20
percent in 2013.
On the other hand, according to Asian
Development Outlook, October 2012, the dimming
global growth prospects and soft domestic
demand in the regions two largest economies are
slowing the pace of developing Asias expansion.
Growth was estimated to slide from 7.20 percent in
2011 to 6.10 percent in 2012, which was expected
to bounce back to register 6.70 percent growth in
2013.
Impressive Track Record of Bangladesh
Economy
Bangladeshs track record of achievements, in
different sectors and according to various
performance indicators, bear evidence that she is
making impressive and encouraging progress
towards attaining her goal of being a middle
income country by 2021. Bangladesh was able to
accelerate her GDP growth from under 4.00
percent per year to over 6.00 percent within a span
of two decades. Our country has been able to
make commendable transition from a
predominantly aid-dependent economy to a
trading nation. The combined net foreign
exchange earnings from export of goods and
remittance are at present about fifteen times more
than the aid we receive annually.
Bangladesh has established herself as the second
largest exporter of apparels in the world, after
China; our shipbuilding, footwear, pharmaceuticals
and other non-traditional exports are showing
encouraging signs. Our farmers have increased
food grains production by more than three fold
since independence enabling Bangladesh to more
towards food security. Our economy has been able
to demonstrate impressive resilience in the face of
multiple global and financial crisis. Bangladeshs
track record in attaining key Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) including in the areas
of poverty alleviation, gender parity, and access to

Directors Report
to the Shareholders
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
Respected Shareholders
Assalamu Alaikum
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am indeed
delighted to present before you the sixth Annual
Report of Agrani Bank Limited. The report
evaluates and analyzes banks overall operational
performance of 2012 compared to that of 2011. I
would request you to read the information and
analyses in conjunction with the audited financial
statements presented herewith. The report also
presents an overview of the global economic
scenario and the performance of Bangladesh
Economy to put in perspective the banks
performance.
Global Economic Scenario
Immediately after the recovery from economic
crisis in 2010, the global economy is again facing
challenges as the recession re-emerged in the first
half of FY 2011-12 due to sovereign debt crisis in
several euro-zone economies and economic
instability in the USA. However, steps taken to
reinvigorate the USA economy and joint efforts to
protect euro economies from further effect of
recession have slightly watered down the effect in
the second half of 2011. Despite some
deceleration in the growth of the developed
economies and slight slowdown in economic
growth of emerging and developing countries
compared to the growth momentum in 2011;
economic growth of emerging and developing
countries remains fairly strong.
According to World Economic Outlook (WEO),
October 2012 of IMF, despite that the world
economic growth slowed to 3.30 percent in 2012
from 3.80 percent in 2011, it is projected to rise to
3.60 percent in 2013. Growth of high income
countries would deteriorate further from 1.60

health and education has received high global
acclaim.
These aforesaid achievements were possible
through a combination of factors: supportive
government policies and targeted resource
allocation; the hard work of farmers and workers at
home and abroad, contribution of the private
sector and our vibrant entrepreneurial class,
proactive role of our non-government actors
including in areas of disbursement of micro-credit,
development of micro-enterprises and raising
consciousness about economic and social issues;
target support provided by development partners.
Macroeconomic Scenario of Bangladesh
Economic Growth
Although the growth of Bangladesh economy
slowed down in the context of negative growth in
world trade at the beginning of the global financial
crisis in FY 2008-09, next year this growth
bounced back and average growth remained
above 6.00 percent in the last three years.
According to BBS, GDP grew to 6.71 percent in FY
2010-11 and the estimated GDP growth rate for FY
2011-12 is 6.32 percent. However, because of high
base effect induced by more than 5.00 percent
growth in agriculture sector during the last two
years, the growth of FY 2011-12 dipped a little
which is still satisfactory. Alongside, substantial
growth in industry and service sector has
contributed to overall GDP growth. In FY2011-12,
growth in agriculture, industry and service sectors
have estimated to 2.53 percent, 9.47 percent and
6.06 percent respectively. This year GDP and GNI
per capita stood at US$ 772 and US$ 848 which
were US$ 748 and US$ 816 respectively in the last
fiscal year.
Savings and Investment
Estimated domestic savings slightly increased
from 19.30 percent of GDP in FY 2010-11 to 19.40
percent of GDP in FY 2011-12. Investment in FY
2011-12 also showed similar feature with a slight
increase and stood at 25.40 percent of GDP in FY
2011-12 from 25.20 percent of GDP in FY2010-11.
Of which the share of private investment stood at
19.10 percent of GDP while that of public
investment was 6.30 percent in FY 2011-12. In FY

2010-11, the private and the public sector investments
were 19.50 percent and 5.60 percent of GDP
respectively. Major initiatives of the Government
implemented in infrastructure sector including power
and reduction in cost of doing business helped create
investment-friendly environment. In addition to this,
because of satisfactory growth of remittances, national
savings in FY 2011-12 upturned to 29.40 percent of GDP
from 28.80 percent of GDP in the previous year.
Inflation
The 12 month average inflation rate reached to
10.62 percent in FY 2011-12 which was 8.80
percent in FY2010-11. Oil and food inflation in
global market and excessive credit flows to
unproductive sectors were mainly responsible for
this upturn. Inflation on point to point basis in June
2012 stood at 8.56 percent which was 10.49
percent in March 2011. From the trend analysis of
inflation in Bangladesh, it is clear that in the first
half of FY 2011- 2012 general inflation went up
because of food inflation. However, at the end of
FY2011-12, non-food inflation was the key factor in
pushing general inflation upward. At this point in
time, food inflation recorded to 7.08 (monthly rate,
point to point basis) percent from about 13.00
percent in the same month of FY2010-11.
Satisfactory food production and supply of
essential commodities including demand
management through Open Market Sale (OMS) of
the essential commodities and sufficient stock of
food grains contributed to the efforts of pulling
down food inflation. On the other hand, there was
a non-food inflationary pressure due to price hike
in international market, depreciation in exchange
rate and adjustment of oil price. In order to contain
inflation, the Government has undertaken
necessary steps by forging better coordination
between fiscal and monetary policies. Although
there was a pressure of oil price adjustment on
food price, it was transitory. It is expected that
actions like discouraging credit flows to
unproductive sector alongside adopting restrained
and effective monetary policy will reduce the
inflationary pressure.

Fiscal Situation
Revenue Earning
A target for revenue receipt was set at Tk.1,18,385
crore (12.94 percent of GDP) in FY 2011-12 of
which NBR tax revenue accounted for Tk. 91,870
crore (10.00 percent of GDP), non-NBR revenue,
Tk. 3,915 crore (0.40 percent of GDP) and non-tax
revenue Tk. 22,600 crore (2.47 percent of GDP).
Against these targets, tax revenue from NBR
sources stood at Tk. 91,597 crore while revenue
receipts from non-NBR source and non-tax
revenue receipts were Tk. 3,633 crore and Tk.
18,550 core respectively in FY 2011-12. Total
revenue receipts increased by 19.53 percent from
Tk. 95,188 crore in FY 2010-11 to Tk. 1,13,781
crore in FY 2011-12.
Monetary and Financial Sector
Following the global financial crisis, monetary
policy stance was accommodative in FY2010-11
which has been adjusted in FY 2011-12 consistent
with the changes in the global and domestic
economic scenario. The monetary policy of FY
2011-12 was formulated to maintain a restrained
money supply and credit growth to manage the
pressure arising from a number of factors including
the lagged effect of high domestic credit growth in
the previous year, high inflation transmitted
through global price hike of essential commodities
including food items and huge borrowing from
banking system to meet government expenditure.
The restrained monetary policy was adopted to
ensure continued support for adequate credit flows
to the productive and priority sectors including
agriculture and SME, while controlling money
supply and credit to unproductive sectors. To
downturn the inflation into a tolerable level
Bangladesh Bank has re-fixed the policy rate of
REPO and reverse REPO at 7.75 percent and 5.75
percent respectively by raising 225 points on 4
occasions.
Interest Rate
There was a maximum cap of 7.00 percent interest
rate on export credit fixed since January 10, 2004

to facilitate export earnings. Recently, the cap on
interest rate on lending in all sectors other than
pre-shipment export credit and agricultural loans
has been withdrawn. This has brought
competitiveness among banks in fixing rate of
interest on lending in a rational manner. Banks are
allowed to differentiate interest rate up to a
maximum of 3.00 percent considering comparative
risk elements involved among borrowers in the
same lending category which they would promptly
expose in their respective website and inform to
the Bangladesh Bank.
External Sector
Export
In the wake of the recovery from global financial
recession, the export trade of Bangladesh made a
turnaround. However, sovereign credit crisis in
eurozone which is one of Bangladeshs main
export destinations is having its impact on export
trade. The export earnings of Bangladesh stood at
US$ 24,288 million in FY 2011-12, which was 5.90
percent higher than the export earnings (US$
22,928 million) of FY 2010-11. Export earnings in
FY 2011-12 by major categories increased mainly
for footwear (30.10 percent), engineering products
(21.10 percent), woven garments (13.90 percent)
and leather (10.80 percent). On the other hand,
export earnings dipped in respect of raw jute
(-25.40 percent), ceramic product (-10.20 percent)
and jute goods (-7.50 percent). Some of the
facilities under the incentive package declared by
the Government are still continuing. Assistance for
the entrepreneurs tiled New Market Exploration
Assistance announced under the incentive
package is also being extended this year for
diversification of goods and exploration of new
export market. In the meantime, export markets
have been created in Japan, Korea, South Africa
and Turkey. Besides, due to reduction of duties by
India, Bangladeshi commodities are having gainful
access to India.
Import
The total import payments (C&F) stood at US$
35,516 million during FY 2011-12, which was 5.50

percent higher than the import payments of US$
33,657 million of the preceding year. Although
import payments increased at the beginning of this
fiscal year due to price hike of fuel in the global
market and higher demand of fuel for electricity
generation, it slowed down towards the end of the
year as import of unimportant goods were
discouraged. Analyzing the category of imported
goods, it is observed that, import payments for
industrial raw materials, petroleum and petroleum
products increased by 22.75 percent, 11.15
percent and 21.76 percent respectively, while
import of capital machinery and primary
commodities decreased by 13.73 percent and
25.79 percent respectively.
Overseas Employment and Remittance
Although export of manpower slowed down in the
first half of FY 2010-11 because of the impact of
global recession, particularly on the real estate
markets in the Middle East, and on industrial
labour demand in some South East Asian
economies such as Malaysia, it began to increase
from January 2011. The amount of remittances
increased by 6.03 percent to US$ 11,650.32
million in FY 2010-11 compared to that of the
previous year. Bangladesh earned remittances of
US$ 12,843.40 million in FY 2011-12 which was
10.24 percent higher than the amount of the
previous year. The Government has undertaken
several initiatives including diplomatic approaches
to explore new markets. As many as 6.91 lakh
workers went abroad in quest of jobs in FY
2011-12, which was 57.40 percent higher than the
number stood at in the previous year. To begin
manpower export in full swing to Africa, East
Europe and Latin America, a number of diplomatic
initiatives have been undertaken alongside
establishing new labour wings in several countries.
There is also an attempt to impart training on
various trades to create skilled labour force to
meet the demand of labour markets abroad.
Balance of Payment
Trade balance recorded a rise in deficit by 3.20
percent to US$ 7,995 million in the FY 2011-12 as
compared to the deficit of US$ 7,744 million during
FY 2010-11. During this period, the current

Medium Term Prospect of Bangladesh Economy
In the current context of domestic and global
economic scenario, a Medium-Term
Macroeconomic Framework (MTMF) for FY
2012-2016 has been worked out based on some
fundamental assumptions. Just after the recovery of
the world economy from yearlong global recession
during 2008-09, devastating tsunami and
destruction of nuclear power plant in Japan, the
ongoing sovereign debt crisis in several eurozone
economies and continuing economic instability and
high unemployment in the USA, have slowed the
pace of the world economic growth significantly. As
a result, the global output decreased in 2011.
However, afterwards, an integrated policy and
strategies to overcome the eurozone crisis,
rebouncing of US economic growth and sustaining
the domestic demand in emerging and developing
economies, it was expected that global output
would increase in 2012.
Different macroeconomic indicators for the next
fiscal year and over the medium term have been
updated in view of continued satisfactory
performance in revenue collection, growth in
agriculture sector, investment in infrastructure
including power, exchange rate stability and
containment of inflationary pressure.
In the Medium Term Macroeconomic Framework,
real GDP growth has been estimated at 7.20
percent for FY 2012-13, 7.60 percent for FY
2013-14, 8.00 percent for FY 2014-15 and 9.10
percent for FY 2015-16 respectively. It is expected
that investment will increase from 25.40 percent of
GDP in FY 2011-12 to 33.70 percent in FY 2016-17
where private and public investment will stand at
25.20 percent and 8.50 percent respectively. On
the other hand, domestic savings is expected to
increase to 22.40 percent from 19.60 percent and
national savings will go up from 29.40 percent to
32.80 percent in the medium term.

Development of agriculture sector including that of
power, energy and communication sectors are
crucial for achieving the desired growth of GDP.
Undertaking initiatives as envisaged in the
roadmap for power, exploring new gas deposits to
meet existing energy demand and utilising
renewable energy will ensure investment-friendly
environment in power and energy sector. It is also
expected that infrastructure deficit will be removed
by reinvigorating public-Private Partnership (PPP)
initiatives in the development of communication
sector and efficient and timely implementation of
Annual Development Program. In order to ensure
proper implementation of projects to be taken up
under PPP, a scheme has been worked out and a
set of policies and guidelines have been approved
by the Government.
In agriculture sector, there was a consistent and
positive growth over the last three years. Huge
government support such as subsidy, power
supply for irrigation, flow of agricultural credit,
innovation of new variety of salinity tolerant seed
and weather, and increasing assistance to
agro-based industries contributed significantly in
achieving sustainable growth in agriculture sector.
All these activities will continue which is expected
to support sustainable agricultural growth.
The estimated government expenditure stood at
16.50 percent of GDP in FY 2011-12 which is
expected to be 18.40 percent in FY 2012-13. The
target for FY 2016-17 has been set at 20.60
percent of GDP. Against this, expenditure on
Annual Development Programme is planned to be
increased from 3.90 percent of GDP in FY 2011-12
to 7.00 percent of GDP in FY 2016-17.
For financing the deficit, Government has planned
to reduce borrowing from the banking system. In
this regard, priority has been given to foreign
assistance which were committed and in pipe line.
For consecutive two years, Standard and Poors
(S&P) and Moodys retained the same sovereign
credit rating for Bangladesh. In their respective
lists rating for Bangladesh is BB- and Ba3.
According to this rating, in terms of credit
worthiness, Bangladesh is at par with the
Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam. Such rating
will decrease the cost of debenture and import
payment and will help in attracting more foreign
investment.

Containing inflation is a big challenge for
macroeconomic stability. In MTMF, inflation has
forecasted to bring down at 7.50 percent in the
upcoming fiscal year and that is expected to bring
out almost 5.00 percent. It was expected that the
steps taken to increase food production,
uninterrupted food supply and enhance food
security would also be helpful in reining on
inflation. Bangladesh Bank in its monetary policy
statement has laid emphasis on limiting money
supply and discouraging credit flow to the
unproductive sectors. Side by side, emphasis is
also given to ensure credit flow to productive and
priority sectors including agriculture and SME
sectors.
Financial recession in eurozone economies, one of
the major export markets of Bangladesh, has
affected its export sector slowing it down to 6.20
percent in FY 2011-12. However, it has been
possible to tackle the crisis through integrated
efforts of euro countries. Besides, initiatives on
exploring new markets and diversification of export
goods have already contributed to our economy,
though to a limited extent.
The remittances from expatriate Bangladeshi
workers grew by 10.24 percent during this year
which has been estimated to be 12.00 percent for
next years. It is expected that concerted efforts on
exploring new labour markets and intensive
diplomatic initiatives will increase expatriate
employment and contribute towards sustaining the
existing trends of remittance of flows. The current
account balance (CAB) decreased but in MTMF it
is expected to bring back in a positive territory.
Pressures on exchange rate and foreign exchange
reserve have been offset due to adoption of
effective fiscal and monetary policy stances. Both
the exchange rate and reserve situation remained
stable at the end of FY 2011-12. The goal of
maintaining macroeconomic stability together with
expected GDP growth and target of inflation will be
achieved if the future shocks from domestic as well
as external sectors could be tackled properly.

Its true meaning lies in proper application of
technology to implement all the commitments of

the government regarding education, health,
employment and poverty alleviation. The main
purpose of this idea is to improve the standards of
living of the people by empowering them, ensuring
transparency and accountability in all spheres of
life, establishing good-governance and, above all,
bringing public services to their doorsteps through
the most effective use of technology. In short,
Digital Bangladesh is a happy prosperous and
enlightened Bangladesh, which is free from
hunger, poverty, inequality and corruption and
belongs completely to its people and is driven
forward by digital technology.
Perspective Plan 2010-2021
The Government keeping in view the Golden
Jubilee of Independence has formulated
Bangladesh Perspective Planning 2010-2021,
in the light of Vision-2021 to attain a definite set of
objectives that relate to economic and social
development of Bangladesh. The document
reflects the hopes and aspirations of common
people which has been given the top priority and
incorporates the development philosophy of the
government, its longterm vision and strategic goals
of desired development. The fundamental
objective of this long term plan is to alleviate
poverty by achieving higher growth and to turn
Bangladesh into a medium income country where
poverty will be brought to the minimum and
regional disparity in the sphere of economic
development will be reduced significantly.

percent in 2011 to 1.30 percent in 2012 but is
expected to rise to 1.50 percent in 2013. It has
been forecasted for eurozone to have sluggish
growth of -0.40 percent in 2012 which was 1.40
percent in 2011 and is expected to grow to 0.20
percent in 2013.
On the other hand, according to Asian
Development Outlook, October 2012, the dimming
global growth prospects and soft domestic
demand in the regions two largest economies are
slowing the pace of developing Asias expansion.
Growth was estimated to slide from 7.20 percent in
2011 to 6.10 percent in 2012, which was expected
to bounce back to register 6.70 percent growth in
2013.
Impressive Track Record of Bangladesh
Economy
Bangladeshs track record of achievements, in
different sectors and according to various
performance indicators, bear evidence that she is
making impressive and encouraging progress
towards attaining her goal of being a middle
income country by 2021. Bangladesh was able to
accelerate her GDP growth from under 4.00
percent per year to over 6.00 percent within a span
of two decades. Our country has been able to
make commendable transition from a
predominantly aid-dependent economy to a
trading nation. The combined net foreign
exchange earnings from export of goods and
remittance are at present about fifteen times more
than the aid we receive annually.
Bangladesh has established herself as the second
largest exporter of apparels in the world, after
China; our shipbuilding, footwear, pharmaceuticals
and other non-traditional exports are showing
encouraging signs. Our farmers have increased
food grains production by more than three fold
since independence enabling Bangladesh to more
towards food security. Our economy has been able
to demonstrate impressive resilience in the face of
multiple global and financial crisis. Bangladeshs
track record in attaining key Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) including in the areas
of poverty alleviation, gender parity, and access to

Directors Report
to the Shareholders
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
Respected Shareholders
Assalamu Alaikum
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am indeed
delighted to present before you the sixth Annual
Report of Agrani Bank Limited. The report
evaluates and analyzes banks overall operational
performance of 2012 compared to that of 2011. I
would request you to read the information and
analyses in conjunction with the audited financial
statements presented herewith. The report also
presents an overview of the global economic
scenario and the performance of Bangladesh
Economy to put in perspective the banks
performance.
Global Economic Scenario
Immediately after the recovery from economic
crisis in 2010, the global economy is again facing
challenges as the recession re-emerged in the first
half of FY 2011-12 due to sovereign debt crisis in
several euro-zone economies and economic
instability in the USA. However, steps taken to
reinvigorate the USA economy and joint efforts to
protect euro economies from further effect of
recession have slightly watered down the effect in
the second half of 2011. Despite some
deceleration in the growth of the developed
economies and slight slowdown in economic
growth of emerging and developing countries
compared to the growth momentum in 2011;
economic growth of emerging and developing
countries remains fairly strong.
According to World Economic Outlook (WEO),
October 2012 of IMF, despite that the world
economic growth slowed to 3.30 percent in 2012
from 3.80 percent in 2011, it is projected to rise to
3.60 percent in 2013. Growth of high income
countries would deteriorate further from 1.60

health and education has received high global
acclaim.
These aforesaid achievements were possible
through a combination of factors: supportive
government policies and targeted resource
allocation; the hard work of farmers and workers at
home and abroad, contribution of the private
sector and our vibrant entrepreneurial class,
proactive role of our non-government actors
including in areas of disbursement of micro-credit,
development of micro-enterprises and raising
consciousness about economic and social issues;
target support provided by development partners.
Macroeconomic Scenario of Bangladesh
Economic Growth
Although the growth of Bangladesh economy
slowed down in the context of negative growth in
world trade at the beginning of the global financial
crisis in FY 2008-09, next year this growth
bounced back and average growth remained
above 6.00 percent in the last three years.
According to BBS, GDP grew to 6.71 percent in FY
2010-11 and the estimated GDP growth rate for FY
2011-12 is 6.32 percent. However, because of high
base effect induced by more than 5.00 percent
growth in agriculture sector during the last two
years, the growth of FY 2011-12 dipped a little
which is still satisfactory. Alongside, substantial
growth in industry and service sector has
contributed to overall GDP growth. In FY2011-12,
growth in agriculture, industry and service sectors
have estimated to 2.53 percent, 9.47 percent and
6.06 percent respectively. This year GDP and GNI
per capita stood at US$ 772 and US$ 848 which
were US$ 748 and US$ 816 respectively in the last
fiscal year.
Savings and Investment
Estimated domestic savings slightly increased
from 19.30 percent of GDP in FY 2010-11 to 19.40
percent of GDP in FY 2011-12. Investment in FY
2011-12 also showed similar feature with a slight
increase and stood at 25.40 percent of GDP in FY
2011-12 from 25.20 percent of GDP in FY2010-11.
Of which the share of private investment stood at
19.10 percent of GDP while that of public
investment was 6.30 percent in FY 2011-12. In FY

2010-11, the private and the public sector investments
were 19.50 percent and 5.60 percent of GDP
respectively. Major initiatives of the Government
implemented in infrastructure sector including power
and reduction in cost of doing business helped create
investment-friendly environment. In addition to this,
because of satisfactory growth of remittances, national
savings in FY 2011-12 upturned to 29.40 percent of GDP
from 28.80 percent of GDP in the previous year.
Inflation
The 12 month average inflation rate reached to
10.62 percent in FY 2011-12 which was 8.80
percent in FY2010-11. Oil and food inflation in
global market and excessive credit flows to
unproductive sectors were mainly responsible for
this upturn. Inflation on point to point basis in June
2012 stood at 8.56 percent which was 10.49
percent in March 2011. From the trend analysis of
inflation in Bangladesh, it is clear that in the first
half of FY 2011- 2012 general inflation went up
because of food inflation. However, at the end of
FY2011-12, non-food inflation was the key factor in
pushing general inflation upward. At this point in
time, food inflation recorded to 7.08 (monthly rate,
point to point basis) percent from about 13.00
percent in the same month of FY2010-11.
Satisfactory food production and supply of
essential commodities including demand
management through Open Market Sale (OMS) of
the essential commodities and sufficient stock of
food grains contributed to the efforts of pulling
down food inflation. On the other hand, there was
a non-food inflationary pressure due to price hike
in international market, depreciation in exchange
rate and adjustment of oil price. In order to contain
inflation, the Government has undertaken
necessary steps by forging better coordination
between fiscal and monetary policies. Although
there was a pressure of oil price adjustment on
food price, it was transitory. It is expected that
actions like discouraging credit flows to
unproductive sector alongside adopting restrained
and effective monetary policy will reduce the
inflationary pressure.

Fiscal Situation
Revenue Earning
A target for revenue receipt was set at Tk.1,18,385
crore (12.94 percent of GDP) in FY 2011-12 of
which NBR tax revenue accounted for Tk. 91,870
crore (10.00 percent of GDP), non-NBR revenue,
Tk. 3,915 crore (0.40 percent of GDP) and non-tax
revenue Tk. 22,600 crore (2.47 percent of GDP).
Against these targets, tax revenue from NBR
sources stood at Tk. 91,597 crore while revenue
receipts from non-NBR source and non-tax
revenue receipts were Tk. 3,633 crore and Tk.
18,550 core respectively in FY 2011-12. Total
revenue receipts increased by 19.53 percent from
Tk. 95,188 crore in FY 2010-11 to Tk. 1,13,781
crore in FY 2011-12.
Monetary and Financial Sector
Following the global financial crisis, monetary
policy stance was accommodative in FY2010-11
which has been adjusted in FY 2011-12 consistent
with the changes in the global and domestic
economic scenario. The monetary policy of FY
2011-12 was formulated to maintain a restrained
money supply and credit growth to manage the
pressure arising from a number of factors including
the lagged effect of high domestic credit growth in
the previous year, high inflation transmitted
through global price hike of essential commodities
including food items and huge borrowing from
banking system to meet government expenditure.
The restrained monetary policy was adopted to
ensure continued support for adequate credit flows
to the productive and priority sectors including
agriculture and SME, while controlling money
supply and credit to unproductive sectors. To
downturn the inflation into a tolerable level
Bangladesh Bank has re-fixed the policy rate of
REPO and reverse REPO at 7.75 percent and 5.75
percent respectively by raising 225 points on 4
occasions.
Interest Rate
There was a maximum cap of 7.00 percent interest
rate on export credit fixed since January 10, 2004

to facilitate export earnings. Recently, the cap on
interest rate on lending in all sectors other than
pre-shipment export credit and agricultural loans
has been withdrawn. This has brought
competitiveness among banks in fixing rate of
interest on lending in a rational manner. Banks are
allowed to differentiate interest rate up to a
maximum of 3.00 percent considering comparative
risk elements involved among borrowers in the
same lending category which they would promptly
expose in their respective website and inform to
the Bangladesh Bank.
External Sector
Export
In the wake of the recovery from global financial
recession, the export trade of Bangladesh made a
turnaround. However, sovereign credit crisis in
eurozone which is one of Bangladeshs main
export destinations is having its impact on export
trade. The export earnings of Bangladesh stood at
US$ 24,288 million in FY 2011-12, which was 5.90
percent higher than the export earnings (US$
22,928 million) of FY 2010-11. Export earnings in
FY 2011-12 by major categories increased mainly
for footwear (30.10 percent), engineering products
(21.10 percent), woven garments (13.90 percent)
and leather (10.80 percent). On the other hand,
export earnings dipped in respect of raw jute
(-25.40 percent), ceramic product (-10.20 percent)
and jute goods (-7.50 percent). Some of the
facilities under the incentive package declared by
the Government are still continuing. Assistance for
the entrepreneurs tiled New Market Exploration
Assistance announced under the incentive
package is also being extended this year for
diversification of goods and exploration of new
export market. In the meantime, export markets
have been created in Japan, Korea, South Africa
and Turkey. Besides, due to reduction of duties by
India, Bangladeshi commodities are having gainful
access to India.
Import
The total import payments (C&F) stood at US$
35,516 million during FY 2011-12, which was 5.50

percent higher than the import payments of US$
33,657 million of the preceding year. Although
import payments increased at the beginning of this
fiscal year due to price hike of fuel in the global
market and higher demand of fuel for electricity
generation, it slowed down towards the end of the
year as import of unimportant goods were
discouraged. Analyzing the category of imported
goods, it is observed that, import payments for
industrial raw materials, petroleum and petroleum
products increased by 22.75 percent, 11.15
percent and 21.76 percent respectively, while
import of capital machinery and primary
commodities decreased by 13.73 percent and
25.79 percent respectively.
Overseas Employment and Remittance
Although export of manpower slowed down in the
first half of FY 2010-11 because of the impact of
global recession, particularly on the real estate
markets in the Middle East, and on industrial
labour demand in some South East Asian
economies such as Malaysia, it began to increase
from January 2011. The amount of remittances
increased by 6.03 percent to US$ 11,650.32
million in FY 2010-11 compared to that of the
previous year. Bangladesh earned remittances of
US$ 12,843.40 million in FY 2011-12 which was
10.24 percent higher than the amount of the
previous year. The Government has undertaken
several initiatives including diplomatic approaches
to explore new markets. As many as 6.91 lakh
workers went abroad in quest of jobs in FY
2011-12, which was 57.40 percent higher than the
number stood at in the previous year. To begin
manpower export in full swing to Africa, East
Europe and Latin America, a number of diplomatic
initiatives have been undertaken alongside
establishing new labour wings in several countries.
There is also an attempt to impart training on
various trades to create skilled labour force to
meet the demand of labour markets abroad.
Balance of Payment
Trade balance recorded a rise in deficit by 3.20
percent to US$ 7,995 million in the FY 2011-12 as
compared to the deficit of US$ 7,744 million during
FY 2010-11. During this period, the current

account balance recorded a surplus of US$ 1,630
million as compared to the surplus of US$ 885
million of FY 2010-11.The deficit recorded in the
overall balance of payment stood at US$ 494
million in FY 2011-12, which was US$ 656 million
in FY 2010-11.
Medium Term Prospect of Bangladesh Economy
In the current context of domestic and global
economic scenario, a Medium-Term
Macroeconomic Framework (MTMF) for FY
2012-2016 has been worked out based on some
fundamental assumptions. Just after the recovery of
the world economy from yearlong global recession
during 2008-09, devastating tsunami and
destruction of nuclear power plant in Japan, the
ongoing sovereign debt crisis in several eurozone
economies and continuing economic instability and
high unemployment in the USA, have slowed the
pace of the world economic growth significantly. As
a result, the global output decreased in 2011.
However, afterwards, an integrated policy and
strategies to overcome the eurozone crisis,
rebouncing of US economic growth and sustaining
the domestic demand in emerging and developing
economies, it was expected that global output
would increase in 2012.
Different macroeconomic indicators for the next
fiscal year and over the medium term have been
updated in view of continued satisfactory
performance in revenue collection, growth in
agriculture sector, investment in infrastructure
including power, exchange rate stability and
containment of inflationary pressure.
In the Medium Term Macroeconomic Framework,
real GDP growth has been estimated at 7.20
percent for FY 2012-13, 7.60 percent for FY
2013-14, 8.00 percent for FY 2014-15 and 9.10
percent for FY 2015-16 respectively. It is expected
that investment will increase from 25.40 percent of
GDP in FY 2011-12 to 33.70 percent in FY 2016-17
where private and public investment will stand at
25.20 percent and 8.50 percent respectively. On
the other hand, domestic savings is expected to
increase to 22.40 percent from 19.60 percent and
national savings will go up from 29.40 percent to
32.80 percent in the medium term.

Development of agriculture sector including that of
power, energy and communication sectors are
crucial for achieving the desired growth of GDP.
Undertaking initiatives as envisaged in the
roadmap for power, exploring new gas deposits to
meet existing energy demand and utilising
renewable energy will ensure investment-friendly
environment in power and energy sector. It is also
expected that infrastructure deficit will be removed
by reinvigorating public-Private Partnership (PPP)
initiatives in the development of communication
sector and efficient and timely implementation of
Annual Development Program. In order to ensure
proper implementation of projects to be taken up
under PPP, a scheme has been worked out and a
set of policies and guidelines have been approved
by the Government.
In agriculture sector, there was a consistent and
positive growth over the last three years. Huge
government support such as subsidy, power
supply for irrigation, flow of agricultural credit,
innovation of new variety of salinity tolerant seed
and weather, and increasing assistance to
agro-based industries contributed significantly in
achieving sustainable growth in agriculture sector.
All these activities will continue which is expected
to support sustainable agricultural growth.
The estimated government expenditure stood at
16.50 percent of GDP in FY 2011-12 which is
expected to be 18.40 percent in FY 2012-13. The
target for FY 2016-17 has been set at 20.60
percent of GDP. Against this, expenditure on
Annual Development Programme is planned to be
increased from 3.90 percent of GDP in FY 2011-12
to 7.00 percent of GDP in FY 2016-17.
For financing the deficit, Government has planned
to reduce borrowing from the banking system. In
this regard, priority has been given to foreign
assistance which were committed and in pipe line.
For consecutive two years, Standard and Poors
(S&P) and Moodys retained the same sovereign
credit rating for Bangladesh. In their respective
lists rating for Bangladesh is BB- and Ba3.
According to this rating, in terms of credit
worthiness, Bangladesh is at par with the
Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam. Such rating
will decrease the cost of debenture and import
payment and will help in attracting more foreign
investment.

Containing inflation is a big challenge for
macroeconomic stability. In MTMF, inflation has
forecasted to bring down at 7.50 percent in the
upcoming fiscal year and that is expected to bring
out almost 5.00 percent. It was expected that the
steps taken to increase food production,
uninterrupted food supply and enhance food
security would also be helpful in reining on
inflation. Bangladesh Bank in its monetary policy
statement has laid emphasis on limiting money
supply and discouraging credit flow to the
unproductive sectors. Side by side, emphasis is
also given to ensure credit flow to productive and
priority sectors including agriculture and SME
sectors.
Financial recession in eurozone economies, one of
the major export markets of Bangladesh, has
affected its export sector slowing it down to 6.20
percent in FY 2011-12. However, it has been
possible to tackle the crisis through integrated
efforts of euro countries. Besides, initiatives on
exploring new markets and diversification of export
goods have already contributed to our economy,
though to a limited extent.
The remittances from expatriate Bangladeshi
workers grew by 10.24 percent during this year
which has been estimated to be 12.00 percent for
next years. It is expected that concerted efforts on
exploring new labour markets and intensive
diplomatic initiatives will increase expatriate
employment and contribute towards sustaining the
existing trends of remittance of flows. The current
account balance (CAB) decreased but in MTMF it
is expected to bring back in a positive territory.
Pressures on exchange rate and foreign exchange
reserve have been offset due to adoption of
effective fiscal and monetary policy stances. Both
the exchange rate and reserve situation remained
stable at the end of FY 2011-12. The goal of
maintaining macroeconomic stability together with
expected GDP growth and target of inflation will be
achieved if the future shocks from domestic as well
as external sectors could be tackled properly.
Digital Bangladesh
Its true meaning lies in proper application of
technology to implement all the commitments of

the government regarding education, health,
employment and poverty alleviation. The main
purpose of this idea is to improve the standards of
living of the people by empowering them, ensuring
transparency and accountability in all spheres of
life, establishing good-governance and, above all,
bringing public services to their doorsteps through
the most effective use of technology. In short,
Digital Bangladesh is a happy prosperous and
enlightened Bangladesh, which is free from
hunger, poverty, inequality and corruption and
belongs completely to its people and is driven
forward by digital technology.
Perspective Plan 2010-2021
The Government keeping in view the Golden
Jubilee of Independence has formulated
Bangladesh Perspective Planning 2010-2021,
in the light of Vision-2021 to attain a definite set of
objectives that relate to economic and social
development of Bangladesh. The document
reflects the hopes and aspirations of common
people which has been given the top priority and
incorporates the development philosophy of the
government, its longterm vision and strategic goals
of desired development. The fundamental
objective of this long term plan is to alleviate
poverty by achieving higher growth and to turn
Bangladesh into a medium income country where
poverty will be brought to the minimum and
regional disparity in the sphere of economic
development will be reduced significantly.

percent in 2011 to 1.30 percent in 2012 but is
expected to rise to 1.50 percent in 2013. It has
been forecasted for eurozone to have sluggish
growth of -0.40 percent in 2012 which was 1.40
percent in 2011 and is expected to grow to 0.20
percent in 2013.
On the other hand, according to Asian
Development Outlook, October 2012, the dimming
global growth prospects and soft domestic
demand in the regions two largest economies are
slowing the pace of developing Asias expansion.
Growth was estimated to slide from 7.20 percent in
2011 to 6.10 percent in 2012, which was expected
to bounce back to register 6.70 percent growth in
2013.
Impressive Track Record of Bangladesh
Economy
Bangladeshs track record of achievements, in
different sectors and according to various
performance indicators, bear evidence that she is
making impressive and encouraging progress
towards attaining her goal of being a middle
income country by 2021. Bangladesh was able to
accelerate her GDP growth from under 4.00
percent per year to over 6.00 percent within a span
of two decades. Our country has been able to
make commendable transition from a
predominantly aid-dependent economy to a
trading nation. The combined net foreign
exchange earnings from export of goods and
remittance are at present about fifteen times more
than the aid we receive annually.
Bangladesh has established herself as the second
largest exporter of apparels in the world, after
China; our shipbuilding, footwear, pharmaceuticals
and other non-traditional exports are showing
encouraging signs. Our farmers have increased
food grains production by more than three fold
since independence enabling Bangladesh to more
towards food security. Our economy has been able
to demonstrate impressive resilience in the face of
multiple global and financial crisis. Bangladeshs
track record in attaining key Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) including in the areas
of poverty alleviation, gender parity, and access to

Directors Report
to the Shareholders
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
Respected Shareholders
Assalamu Alaikum
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am indeed
delighted to present before you the sixth Annual
Report of Agrani Bank Limited. The report
evaluates and analyzes banks overall operational
performance of 2012 compared to that of 2011. I
would request you to read the information and
analyses in conjunction with the audited financial
statements presented herewith. The report also
presents an overview of the global economic
scenario and the performance of Bangladesh
Economy to put in perspective the banks
performance.
Global Economic Scenario
Immediately after the recovery from economic
crisis in 2010, the global economy is again facing
challenges as the recession re-emerged in the first
half of FY 2011-12 due to sovereign debt crisis in
several euro-zone economies and economic
instability in the USA. However, steps taken to
reinvigorate the USA economy and joint efforts to
protect euro economies from further effect of
recession have slightly watered down the effect in
the second half of 2011. Despite some
deceleration in the growth of the developed
economies and slight slowdown in economic
growth of emerging and developing countries
compared to the growth momentum in 2011;
economic growth of emerging and developing
countries remains fairly strong.
According to World Economic Outlook (WEO),
October 2012 of IMF, despite that the world
economic growth slowed to 3.30 percent in 2012
from 3.80 percent in 2011, it is projected to rise to
3.60 percent in 2013. Growth of high income
countries would deteriorate further from 1.60

health and education has received high global
acclaim.
These aforesaid achievements were possible
through a combination of factors: supportive
government policies and targeted resource
allocation; the hard work of farmers and workers at
home and abroad, contribution of the private
sector and our vibrant entrepreneurial class,
proactive role of our non-government actors
including in areas of disbursement of micro-credit,
development of micro-enterprises and raising
consciousness about economic and social issues;
target support provided by development partners.
Macroeconomic Scenario of Bangladesh
Economic Growth
Although the growth of Bangladesh economy
slowed down in the context of negative growth in
world trade at the beginning of the global financial
crisis in FY 2008-09, next year this growth
bounced back and average growth remained
above 6.00 percent in the last three years.
According to BBS, GDP grew to 6.71 percent in FY
2010-11 and the estimated GDP growth rate for FY
2011-12 is 6.32 percent. However, because of high
base effect induced by more than 5.00 percent
growth in agriculture sector during the last two
years, the growth of FY 2011-12 dipped a little
which is still satisfactory. Alongside, substantial
growth in industry and service sector has
contributed to overall GDP growth. In FY2011-12,
growth in agriculture, industry and service sectors
have estimated to 2.53 percent, 9.47 percent and
6.06 percent respectively. This year GDP and GNI
per capita stood at US$ 772 and US$ 848 which
were US$ 748 and US$ 816 respectively in the last
fiscal year.
Savings and Investment
Estimated domestic savings slightly increased
from 19.30 percent of GDP in FY 2010-11 to 19.40
percent of GDP in FY 2011-12. Investment in FY
2011-12 also showed similar feature with a slight
increase and stood at 25.40 percent of GDP in FY
2011-12 from 25.20 percent of GDP in FY2010-11.
Of which the share of private investment stood at
19.10 percent of GDP while that of public
investment was 6.30 percent in FY 2011-12. In FY

2010-11, the private and the public sector investments
were 19.50 percent and 5.60 percent of GDP
respectively. Major initiatives of the Government
implemented in infrastructure sector including power
and reduction in cost of doing business helped create
investment-friendly environment. In addition to this,
because of satisfactory growth of remittances, national
savings in FY 2011-12 upturned to 29.40 percent of GDP
from 28.80 percent of GDP in the previous year.
Inflation
The 12 month average inflation rate reached to
10.62 percent in FY 2011-12 which was 8.80
percent in FY2010-11. Oil and food inflation in
global market and excessive credit flows to
unproductive sectors were mainly responsible for
this upturn. Inflation on point to point basis in June
2012 stood at 8.56 percent which was 10.49
percent in March 2011. From the trend analysis of
inflation in Bangladesh, it is clear that in the first
half of FY 2011- 2012 general inflation went up
because of food inflation. However, at the end of
FY2011-12, non-food inflation was the key factor in
pushing general inflation upward. At this point in
time, food inflation recorded to 7.08 (monthly rate,
point to point basis) percent from about 13.00
percent in the same month of FY2010-11.
Satisfactory food production and supply of
essential commodities including demand
management through Open Market Sale (OMS) of
the essential commodities and sufficient stock of
food grains contributed to the efforts of pulling
down food inflation. On the other hand, there was
a non-food inflationary pressure due to price hike
in international market, depreciation in exchange
rate and adjustment of oil price. In order to contain
inflation, the Government has undertaken
necessary steps by forging better coordination
between fiscal and monetary policies. Although
there was a pressure of oil price adjustment on
food price, it was transitory. It is expected that
actions like discouraging credit flows to
unproductive sector alongside adopting restrained
and effective monetary policy will reduce the
inflationary pressure.

Fiscal Situation
Revenue Earning
A target for revenue receipt was set at Tk.1,18,385
crore (12.94 percent of GDP) in FY 2011-12 of
which NBR tax revenue accounted for Tk. 91,870
crore (10.00 percent of GDP), non-NBR revenue,
Tk. 3,915 crore (0.40 percent of GDP) and non-tax
revenue Tk. 22,600 crore (2.47 percent of GDP).
Against these targets, tax revenue from NBR
sources stood at Tk. 91,597 crore while revenue
receipts from non-NBR source and non-tax
revenue receipts were Tk. 3,633 crore and Tk.
18,550 core respectively in FY 2011-12. Total
revenue receipts increased by 19.53 percent from
Tk. 95,188 crore in FY 2010-11 to Tk. 1,13,781
crore in FY 2011-12.
Monetary and Financial Sector
Following the global financial crisis, monetary
policy stance was accommodative in FY2010-11
which has been adjusted in FY 2011-12 consistent
with the changes in the global and domestic
economic scenario. The monetary policy of FY
2011-12 was formulated to maintain a restrained
money supply and credit growth to manage the
pressure arising from a number of factors including
the lagged effect of high domestic credit growth in
the previous year, high inflation transmitted
through global price hike of essential commodities
including food items and huge borrowing from
banking system to meet government expenditure.
The restrained monetary policy was adopted to
ensure continued support for adequate credit flows
to the productive and priority sectors including
agriculture and SME, while controlling money
supply and credit to unproductive sectors. To
downturn the inflation into a tolerable level
Bangladesh Bank has re-fixed the policy rate of
REPO and reverse REPO at 7.75 percent and 5.75
percent respectively by raising 225 points on 4
occasions.
Interest Rate
There was a maximum cap of 7.00 percent interest
rate on export credit fixed since January 10, 2004

to facilitate export earnings. Recently, the cap on
interest rate on lending in all sectors other than
pre-shipment export credit and agricultural loans
has been withdrawn. This has brought
competitiveness among banks in fixing rate of
interest on lending in a rational manner. Banks are
allowed to differentiate interest rate up to a
maximum of 3.00 percent considering comparative
risk elements involved among borrowers in the
same lending category which they would promptly
expose in their respective website and inform to
the Bangladesh Bank.
External Sector
Export
In the wake of the recovery from global financial
recession, the export trade of Bangladesh made a
turnaround. However, sovereign credit crisis in
eurozone which is one of Bangladeshs main
export destinations is having its impact on export
trade. The export earnings of Bangladesh stood at
US$ 24,288 million in FY 2011-12, which was 5.90
percent higher than the export earnings (US$
22,928 million) of FY 2010-11. Export earnings in
FY 2011-12 by major categories increased mainly
for footwear (30.10 percent), engineering products
(21.10 percent), woven garments (13.90 percent)
and leather (10.80 percent). On the other hand,
export earnings dipped in respect of raw jute
(-25.40 percent), ceramic product (-10.20 percent)
and jute goods (-7.50 percent). Some of the
facilities under the incentive package declared by
the Government are still continuing. Assistance for
the entrepreneurs tiled New Market Exploration
Assistance announced under the incentive
package is also being extended this year for
diversification of goods and exploration of new
export market. In the meantime, export markets
have been created in Japan, Korea, South Africa
and Turkey. Besides, due to reduction of duties by
India, Bangladeshi commodities are having gainful
access to India.
Import
The total import payments (C&F) stood at US$
35,516 million during FY 2011-12, which was 5.50

percent higher than the import payments of US$
33,657 million of the preceding year. Although
import payments increased at the beginning of this
fiscal year due to price hike of fuel in the global
market and higher demand of fuel for electricity
generation, it slowed down towards the end of the
year as import of unimportant goods were
discouraged. Analyzing the category of imported
goods, it is observed that, import payments for
industrial raw materials, petroleum and petroleum
products increased by 22.75 percent, 11.15
percent and 21.76 percent respectively, while
import of capital machinery and primary
commodities decreased by 13.73 percent and
25.79 percent respectively.
Overseas Employment and Remittance
Although export of manpower slowed down in the
first half of FY 2010-11 because of the impact of
global recession, particularly on the real estate
markets in the Middle East, and on industrial
labour demand in some South East Asian
economies such as Malaysia, it began to increase
from January 2011. The amount of remittances
increased by 6.03 percent to US$ 11,650.32
million in FY 2010-11 compared to that of the
previous year. Bangladesh earned remittances of
US$ 12,843.40 million in FY 2011-12 which was
10.24 percent higher than the amount of the
previous year. The Government has undertaken
several initiatives including diplomatic approaches
to explore new markets. As many as 6.91 lakh
workers went abroad in quest of jobs in FY
2011-12, which was 57.40 percent higher than the
number stood at in the previous year. To begin
manpower export in full swing to Africa, East
Europe and Latin America, a number of diplomatic
initiatives have been undertaken alongside
establishing new labour wings in several countries.
There is also an attempt to impart training on
various trades to create skilled labour force to
meet the demand of labour markets abroad.
Balance of Payment
Trade balance recorded a rise in deficit by 3.20
percent to US$ 7,995 million in the FY 2011-12 as
compared to the deficit of US$ 7,744 million during
FY 2010-11. During this period, the current

Medium Term Prospect of Bangladesh Economy
In the current context of domestic and global
economic scenario, a Medium-Term
Macroeconomic Framework (MTMF) for FY
2012-2016 has been worked out based on some
fundamental assumptions. Just after the recovery of
the world economy from yearlong global recession
during 2008-09, devastating tsunami and
destruction of nuclear power plant in Japan, the
ongoing sovereign debt crisis in several eurozone
economies and continuing economic instability and
high unemployment in the USA, have slowed the
pace of the world economic growth significantly. As
a result, the global output decreased in 2011.
However, afterwards, an integrated policy and
strategies to overcome the eurozone crisis,
rebouncing of US economic growth and sustaining
the domestic demand in emerging and developing
economies, it was expected that global output
would increase in 2012.
Different macroeconomic indicators for the next
fiscal year and over the medium term have been
updated in view of continued satisfactory
performance in revenue collection, growth in
agriculture sector, investment in infrastructure
including power, exchange rate stability and
containment of inflationary pressure.
In the Medium Term Macroeconomic Framework,
real GDP growth has been estimated at 7.20
percent for FY 2012-13, 7.60 percent for FY
2013-14, 8.00 percent for FY 2014-15 and 9.10
percent for FY 2015-16 respectively. It is expected
that investment will increase from 25.40 percent of
GDP in FY 2011-12 to 33.70 percent in FY 2016-17
where private and public investment will stand at
25.20 percent and 8.50 percent respectively. On
the other hand, domestic savings is expected to
increase to 22.40 percent from 19.60 percent and
national savings will go up from 29.40 percent to
32.80 percent in the medium term.

Development of agriculture sector including that of
power, energy and communication sectors are
crucial for achieving the desired growth of GDP.
Undertaking initiatives as envisaged in the
roadmap for power, exploring new gas deposits to
meet existing energy demand and utilising
renewable energy will ensure investment-friendly
environment in power and energy sector. It is also
expected that infrastructure deficit will be removed
by reinvigorating public-Private Partnership (PPP)
initiatives in the development of communication
sector and efficient and timely implementation of
Annual Development Program. In order to ensure
proper implementation of projects to be taken up
under PPP, a scheme has been worked out and a
set of policies and guidelines have been approved
by the Government.
In agriculture sector, there was a consistent and
positive growth over the last three years. Huge
government support such as subsidy, power
supply for irrigation, flow of agricultural credit,
innovation of new variety of salinity tolerant seed
and weather, and increasing assistance to
agro-based industries contributed significantly in
achieving sustainable growth in agriculture sector.
All these activities will continue which is expected
to support sustainable agricultural growth.
The estimated government expenditure stood at
16.50 percent of GDP in FY 2011-12 which is
expected to be 18.40 percent in FY 2012-13. The
target for FY 2016-17 has been set at 20.60
percent of GDP. Against this, expenditure on
Annual Development Programme is planned to be
increased from 3.90 percent of GDP in FY 2011-12
to 7.00 percent of GDP in FY 2016-17.
For financing the deficit, Government has planned
to reduce borrowing from the banking system. In
this regard, priority has been given to foreign
assistance which were committed and in pipe line.
For consecutive two years, Standard and Poors
(S&P) and Moodys retained the same sovereign
credit rating for Bangladesh. In their respective
lists rating for Bangladesh is BB- and Ba3.
According to this rating, in terms of credit
worthiness, Bangladesh is at par with the
Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam. Such rating
will decrease the cost of debenture and import
payment and will help in attracting more foreign
investment.

Containing inflation is a big challenge for
macroeconomic stability. In MTMF, inflation has
forecasted to bring down at 7.50 percent in the
upcoming fiscal year and that is expected to bring
out almost 5.00 percent. It was expected that the
steps taken to increase food production,
uninterrupted food supply and enhance food
security would also be helpful in reining on
inflation. Bangladesh Bank in its monetary policy
statement has laid emphasis on limiting money
supply and discouraging credit flow to the
unproductive sectors. Side by side, emphasis is
also given to ensure credit flow to productive and
priority sectors including agriculture and SME
sectors.
Financial recession in eurozone economies, one of
the major export markets of Bangladesh, has
affected its export sector slowing it down to 6.20
percent in FY 2011-12. However, it has been
possible to tackle the crisis through integrated
efforts of euro countries. Besides, initiatives on
exploring new markets and diversification of export
goods have already contributed to our economy,
though to a limited extent.
The remittances from expatriate Bangladeshi
workers grew by 10.24 percent during this year
which has been estimated to be 12.00 percent for
next years. It is expected that concerted efforts on
exploring new labour markets and intensive
diplomatic initiatives will increase expatriate
employment and contribute towards sustaining the
existing trends of remittance of flows. The current
account balance (CAB) decreased but in MTMF it
is expected to bring back in a positive territory.
Pressures on exchange rate and foreign exchange
reserve have been offset due to adoption of
effective fiscal and monetary policy stances. Both
the exchange rate and reserve situation remained
stable at the end of FY 2011-12. The goal of
maintaining macroeconomic stability together with
expected GDP growth and target of inflation will be
achieved if the future shocks from domestic as well
as external sectors could be tackled properly.
Digital Bangladesh
Its true meaning lies in proper application of
technology to implement all the commitments of

the government regarding education, health,
employment and poverty alleviation. The main
purpose of this idea is to improve the standards of
living of the people by empowering them, ensuring
transparency and accountability in all spheres of
life, establishing good-governance and, above all,
bringing public services to their doorsteps through
the most effective use of technology. In short,
Digital Bangladesh is a happy prosperous and
enlightened Bangladesh, which is free from
hunger, poverty, inequality and corruption and
belongs completely to its people and is driven
forward by digital technology.
Perspective Plan 2010-2021
The Government keeping in view the Golden
Jubilee of Independence has formulated
Bangladesh Perspective Planning 2010-2021,
in the light of Vision-2021 to attain a definite set of
objectives that relate to economic and social
development of Bangladesh. The document
reflects the hopes and aspirations of common
people which has been given the top priority and
incorporates the development philosophy of the
government, its longterm vision and strategic goals
of desired development. The fundamental
objective of this long term plan is to alleviate
poverty by achieving higher growth and to turn
Bangladesh into a medium income country where
poverty will be brought to the minimum and
regional disparity in the sphere of economic

percent in 2011 to 1.30 percent in 2012 but is
expected to rise to 1.50 percent in 2013. It has
been forecasted for eurozone to have sluggish
growth of -0.40 percent in 2012 which was 1.40
percent in 2011 and is expected to grow to 0.20
percent in 2013.
On the other hand, according to Asian
Development Outlook, October 2012, the dimming
global growth prospects and soft domestic
demand in the regions two largest economies are
slowing the pace of developing Asias expansion.
Growth was estimated to slide from 7.20 percent in
2011 to 6.10 percent in 2012, which was expected
to bounce back to register 6.70 percent growth in
2013.
Impressive Track Record of Bangladesh
Economy
Bangladeshs track record of achievements, in
different sectors and according to various
performance indicators, bear evidence that she is
making impressive and encouraging progress
towards attaining her goal of being a middle
income country by 2021. Bangladesh was able to
accelerate her GDP growth from under 4.00
percent per year to over 6.00 percent within a span
of two decades. Our country has been able to
make commendable transition from a
predominantly aid-dependent economy to a
trading nation. The combined net foreign
exchange earnings from export of goods and
remittance are at present about fifteen times more
than the aid we receive annually.
Bangladesh has established herself as the second
largest exporter of apparels in the world, after
China; our shipbuilding, footwear, pharmaceuticals
and other non-traditional exports are showing
encouraging signs. Our farmers have increased
food grains production by more than three fold
since independence enabling Bangladesh to more
towards food security. Our economy has been able
to demonstrate impressive resilience in the face of
multiple global and financial crisis. Bangladeshs
track record in attaining key Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) including in the areas
of poverty alleviation, gender parity, and access to

Directors Report
to the Shareholders
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
Respected Shareholders
Assalamu Alaikum
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am indeed
delighted to present before you the sixth Annual
Report of Agrani Bank Limited. The report
evaluates and analyzes banks overall operational
performance of 2012 compared to that of 2011. I
would request you to read the information and
analyses in conjunction with the audited financial
statements presented herewith. The report also
presents an overview of the global economic
scenario and the performance of Bangladesh
Economy to put in perspective the banks
performance.
Global Economic Scenario
Immediately after the recovery from economic
crisis in 2010, the global economy is again facing
challenges as the recession re-emerged in the first
half of FY 2011-12 due to sovereign debt crisis in
several euro-zone economies and economic
instability in the USA. However, steps taken to
reinvigorate the USA economy and joint efforts to
protect euro economies from further effect of
recession have slightly watered down the effect in
the second half of 2011. Despite some
deceleration in the growth of the developed
economies and slight slowdown in economic
growth of emerging and developing countries
compared to the growth momentum in 2011;
economic growth of emerging and developing
countries remains fairly strong.
According to World Economic Outlook (WEO),
October 2012 of IMF, despite that the world
economic growth slowed to 3.30 percent in 2012
from 3.80 percent in 2011, it is projected to rise to
3.60 percent in 2013. Growth of high income
countries would deteriorate further from 1.60

health and education has received high global
acclaim.
These aforesaid achievements were possible
through a combination of factors: supportive
government policies and targeted resource
allocation; the hard work of farmers and workers at
home and abroad, contribution of the private
sector and our vibrant entrepreneurial class,
proactive role of our non-government actors
including in areas of disbursement of micro-credit,
development of micro-enterprises and raising
consciousness about economic and social issues;
target support provided by development partners.
Macroeconomic Scenario of Bangladesh
Economic Growth
Although the growth of Bangladesh economy
slowed down in the context of negative growth in
world trade at the beginning of the global financial
crisis in FY 2008-09, next year this growth
bounced back and average growth remained
above 6.00 percent in the last three years.
According to BBS, GDP grew to 6.71 percent in FY
2010-11 and the estimated GDP growth rate for FY
2011-12 is 6.32 percent. However, because of high
base effect induced by more than 5.00 percent
growth in agriculture sector during the last two
years, the growth of FY 2011-12 dipped a little
which is still satisfactory. Alongside, substantial
growth in industry and service sector has
contributed to overall GDP growth. In FY2011-12,
growth in agriculture, industry and service sectors
have estimated to 2.53 percent, 9.47 percent and
6.06 percent respectively. This year GDP and GNI
per capita stood at US$ 772 and US$ 848 which
were US$ 748 and US$ 816 respectively in the last
fiscal year.
Savings and Investment
Estimated domestic savings slightly increased
from 19.30 percent of GDP in FY 2010-11 to 19.40
percent of GDP in FY 2011-12. Investment in FY
2011-12 also showed similar feature with a slight
increase and stood at 25.40 percent of GDP in FY
2011-12 from 25.20 percent of GDP in FY2010-11.
Of which the share of private investment stood at
19.10 percent of GDP while that of public
investment was 6.30 percent in FY 2011-12. In FY

2010-11, the private and the public sector investments
were 19.50 percent and 5.60 percent of GDP
respectively. Major initiatives of the Government
implemented in infrastructure sector including power
and reduction in cost of doing business helped create
investment-friendly environment. In addition to this,
because of satisfactory growth of remittances, national
savings in FY 2011-12 upturned to 29.40 percent of GDP
from 28.80 percent of GDP in the previous year.
Inflation
The 12 month average inflation rate reached to
10.62 percent in FY 2011-12 which was 8.80
percent in FY2010-11. Oil and food inflation in
global market and excessive credit flows to
unproductive sectors were mainly responsible for
this upturn. Inflation on point to point basis in June
2012 stood at 8.56 percent which was 10.49
percent in March 2011. From the trend analysis of
inflation in Bangladesh, it is clear that in the first
half of FY 2011- 2012 general inflation went up
because of food inflation. However, at the end of
FY2011-12, non-food inflation was the key factor in
pushing general inflation upward. At this point in
time, food inflation recorded to 7.08 (monthly rate,
point to point basis) percent from about 13.00
percent in the same month of FY2010-11.
Satisfactory food production and supply of
essential commodities including demand
management through Open Market Sale (OMS) of
the essential commodities and sufficient stock of
food grains contributed to the efforts of pulling
down food inflation. On the other hand, there was
a non-food inflationary pressure due to price hike
in international market, depreciation in exchange
rate and adjustment of oil price. In order to contain
inflation, the Government has undertaken
necessary steps by forging better coordination
between fiscal and monetary policies. Although
there was a pressure of oil price adjustment on
food price, it was transitory. It is expected that
actions like discouraging credit flows to
unproductive sector alongside adopting restrained
and effective monetary policy will reduce the
inflationary pressure.

Fiscal Situation
Revenue Earning
A target for revenue receipt was set at Tk.1,18,385
crore (12.94 percent of GDP) in FY 2011-12 of
which NBR tax revenue accounted for Tk. 91,870
crore (10.00 percent of GDP), non-NBR revenue,
Tk. 3,915 crore (0.40 percent of GDP) and non-tax
revenue Tk. 22,600 crore (2.47 percent of GDP).
Against these targets, tax revenue from NBR
sources stood at Tk. 91,597 crore while revenue
receipts from non-NBR source and non-tax
revenue receipts were Tk. 3,633 crore and Tk.
18,550 core respectively in FY 2011-12. Total
revenue receipts increased by 19.53 percent from
Tk. 95,188 crore in FY 2010-11 to Tk. 1,13,781
crore in FY 2011-12.
Monetary and Financial Sector
Following the global financial crisis, monetary
policy stance was accommodative in FY2010-11
which has been adjusted in FY 2011-12 consistent
with the changes in the global and domestic
economic scenario. The monetary policy of FY
2011-12 was formulated to maintain a restrained
money supply and credit growth to manage the
pressure arising from a number of factors including
the lagged effect of high domestic credit growth in
the previous year, high inflation transmitted
through global price hike of essential commodities
including food items and huge borrowing from
banking system to meet government expenditure.
The restrained monetary policy was adopted to
ensure continued support for adequate credit flows
to the productive and priority sectors including
agriculture and SME, while controlling money
supply and credit to unproductive sectors. To
downturn the inflation into a tolerable level
Bangladesh Bank has re-fixed the policy rate of
REPO and reverse REPO at 7.75 percent and 5.75
percent respectively by raising 225 points on 4
occasions.
Interest Rate
There was a maximum cap of 7.00 percent interest
rate on export credit fixed since January 10, 2004

to facilitate export earnings. Recently, the cap on
interest rate on lending in all sectors other than
pre-shipment export credit and agricultural loans
has been withdrawn. This has brought
competitiveness among banks in fixing rate of
interest on lending in a rational manner. Banks are
allowed to differentiate interest rate up to a
maximum of 3.00 percent considering comparative
risk elements involved among borrowers in the
same lending category which they would promptly
expose in their respective website and inform to
the Bangladesh Bank.
External Sector
Export
In the wake of the recovery from global financial
recession, the export trade of Bangladesh made a
turnaround. However, sovereign credit crisis in
eurozone which is one of Bangladeshs main
export destinations is having its impact on export
trade. The export earnings of Bangladesh stood at
US$ 24,288 million in FY 2011-12, which was 5.90
percent higher than the export earnings (US$
22,928 million) of FY 2010-11. Export earnings in
FY 2011-12 by major categories increased mainly
for footwear (30.10 percent), engineering products
(21.10 percent), woven garments (13.90 percent)
and leather (10.80 percent). On the other hand,
export earnings dipped in respect of raw jute
(-25.40 percent), ceramic product (-10.20 percent)
and jute goods (-7.50 percent). Some of the
facilities under the incentive package declared by
the Government are still continuing. Assistance for
the entrepreneurs tiled New Market Exploration
Assistance announced under the incentive
package is also being extended this year for
diversification of goods and exploration of new
export market. In the meantime, export markets
have been created in Japan, Korea, South Africa
and Turkey. Besides, due to reduction of duties by
India, Bangladeshi commodities are having gainful
access to India.
Import
The total import payments (C&F) stood at US$
35,516 million during FY 2011-12, which was 5.50

percent higher than the import payments of US$
33,657 million of the preceding year. Although
import payments increased at the beginning of this
fiscal year due to price hike of fuel in the global
market and higher demand of fuel for electricity
generation, it slowed down towards the end of the
year as import of unimportant goods were
discouraged. Analyzing the category of imported
goods, it is observed that, import payments for
industrial raw materials, petroleum and petroleum
products increased by 22.75 percent, 11.15
percent and 21.76 percent respectively, while
import of capital machinery and primary
commodities decreased by 13.73 percent and
25.79 percent respectively.
Overseas Employment and Remittance
Although export of manpower slowed down in the
first half of FY 2010-11 because of the impact of
global recession, particularly on the real estate
markets in the Middle East, and on industrial
labour demand in some South East Asian
economies such as Malaysia, it began to increase
from January 2011. The amount of remittances
increased by 6.03 percent to US$ 11,650.32
million in FY 2010-11 compared to that of the
previous year. Bangladesh earned remittances of
US$ 12,843.40 million in FY 2011-12 which was
10.24 percent higher than the amount of the
previous year. The Government has undertaken
several initiatives including diplomatic approaches
to explore new markets. As many as 6.91 lakh
workers went abroad in quest of jobs in FY
2011-12, which was 57.40 percent higher than the
number stood at in the previous year. To begin
manpower export in full swing to Africa, East
Europe and Latin America, a number of diplomatic
initiatives have been undertaken alongside
establishing new labour wings in several countries.
There is also an attempt to impart training on
various trades to create skilled labour force to
meet the demand of labour markets abroad.
Balance of Payment
Trade balance recorded a rise in deficit by 3.20
percent to US$ 7,995 million in the FY 2011-12 as
compared to the deficit of US$ 7,744 million during
FY 2010-11. During this period, the current

account balance recorded a surplus of US$ 1,630
million as compared to the surplus of US$ 885
million of FY 2010-11.The deficit recorded in the
overall balance of payment stood at US$ 494
million in FY 2011-12, which was US$ 656 million
in FY 2010-11.
Medium Term Prospect of Bangladesh Economy
In the current context of domestic and global
economic scenario, a Medium-Term
Macroeconomic Framework (MTMF) for FY
2012-2016 has been worked out based on some
fundamental assumptions. Just after the recovery of
the world economy from yearlong global recession
during 2008-09, devastating tsunami and
destruction of nuclear power plant in Japan, the
ongoing sovereign debt crisis in several eurozone
economies and continuing economic instability and
high unemployment in the USA, have slowed the
pace of the world economic growth significantly. As
a result, the global output decreased in 2011.
However, afterwards, an integrated policy and
strategies to overcome the eurozone crisis,
rebouncing of US economic growth and sustaining
the domestic demand in emerging and developing
economies, it was expected that global output
would increase in 2012.
Different macroeconomic indicators for the next
fiscal year and over the medium term have been
updated in view of continued satisfactory
performance in revenue collection, growth in
agriculture sector, investment in infrastructure
including power, exchange rate stability and
containment of inflationary pressure.
In the Medium Term Macroeconomic Framework,
real GDP growth has been estimated at 7.20
percent for FY 2012-13, 7.60 percent for FY
2013-14, 8.00 percent for FY 2014-15 and 9.10
percent for FY 2015-16 respectively. It is expected
that investment will increase from 25.40 percent of
GDP in FY 2011-12 to 33.70 percent in FY 2016-17
where private and public investment will stand at
25.20 percent and 8.50 percent respectively. On
the other hand, domestic savings is expected to
increase to 22.40 percent from 19.60 percent and
national savings will go up from 29.40 percent to
32.80 percent in the medium term.

Development of agriculture sector including that of
power, energy and communication sectors are
crucial for achieving the desired growth of GDP.
Undertaking initiatives as envisaged in the
roadmap for power, exploring new gas deposits to
meet existing energy demand and utilising
renewable energy will ensure investment-friendly
environment in power and energy sector. It is also
expected that infrastructure deficit will be removed
by reinvigorating public-Private Partnership (PPP)
initiatives in the development of communication
sector and efficient and timely implementation of
Annual Development Program. In order to ensure
proper implementation of projects to be taken up
under PPP, a scheme has been worked out and a
set of policies and guidelines have been approved
by the Government.
In agriculture sector, there was a consistent and
positive growth over the last three years. Huge
government support such as subsidy, power
supply for irrigation, flow of agricultural credit,
innovation of new variety of salinity tolerant seed
and weather, and increasing assistance to
agro-based industries contributed significantly in
achieving sustainable growth in agriculture sector.
All these activities will continue which is expected
to support sustainable agricultural growth.
The estimated government expenditure stood at
16.50 percent of GDP in FY 2011-12 which is
expected to be 18.40 percent in FY 2012-13. The
target for FY 2016-17 has been set at 20.60
percent of GDP. Against this, expenditure on
Annual Development Programme is planned to be
increased from 3.90 percent of GDP in FY 2011-12
to 7.00 percent of GDP in FY 2016-17.
For financing the deficit, Government has planned
to reduce borrowing from the banking system. In
this regard, priority has been given to foreign
assistance which were committed and in pipe line.
For consecutive two years, Standard and Poors
(S&P) and Moodys retained the same sovereign
credit rating for Bangladesh. In their respective
lists rating for Bangladesh is BB- and Ba3.
According to this rating, in terms of credit
worthiness, Bangladesh is at par with the
Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam. Such rating
will decrease the cost of debenture and import
payment and will help in attracting more foreign
investment.

Containing inflation is a big challenge for
macroeconomic stability. In MTMF, inflation has
forecasted to bring down at 7.50 percent in the
upcoming fiscal year and that is expected to bring
out almost 5.00 percent. It was expected that the
steps taken to increase food production,
uninterrupted food supply and enhance food
security would also be helpful in reining on
inflation. Bangladesh Bank in its monetary policy
statement has laid emphasis on limiting money
supply and discouraging credit flow to the
unproductive sectors. Side by side, emphasis is
also given to ensure credit flow to productive and
priority sectors including agriculture and SME
sectors.
Financial recession in eurozone economies, one of
the major export markets of Bangladesh, has
affected its export sector slowing it down to 6.20
percent in FY 2011-12. However, it has been
possible to tackle the crisis through integrated
efforts of euro countries. Besides, initiatives on
exploring new markets and diversification of export
goods have already contributed to our economy,
though to a limited extent.
The remittances from expatriate Bangladeshi
workers grew by 10.24 percent during this year
which has been estimated to be 12.00 percent for
next years. It is expected that concerted efforts on
exploring new labour markets and intensive
diplomatic initiatives will increase expatriate
employment and contribute towards sustaining the
existing trends of remittance of flows. The current
account balance (CAB) decreased but in MTMF it
is expected to bring back in a positive territory.
Pressures on exchange rate and foreign exchange
reserve have been offset due to adoption of
effective fiscal and monetary policy stances. Both
the exchange rate and reserve situation remained
stable at the end of FY 2011-12. The goal of
maintaining macroeconomic stability together with
expected GDP growth and target of inflation will be
achieved if the future shocks from domestic as well
as external sectors could be tackled properly.
Digital Bangladesh
Its true meaning lies in proper application of
technology to implement all the commitments of

the government regarding education, health,
employment and poverty alleviation. The main
purpose of this idea is to improve the standards of
living of the people by empowering them, ensuring
transparency and accountability in all spheres of
life, establishing good-governance and, above all,
bringing public services to their doorsteps through
the most effective use of technology. In short,
Digital Bangladesh is a happy prosperous and
enlightened Bangladesh, which is free from
hunger, poverty, inequality and corruption and
belongs completely to its people and is driven
forward by digital technology.
Perspective Plan 2010-2021
The Government keeping in view the Golden
Jubilee of Independence has formulated
Bangladesh Perspective Planning 2010-2021,
in the light of Vision-2021 to attain a definite set of
objectives that relate to economic and social
development of Bangladesh. The document
reflects the hopes and aspirations of common
people which has been given the top priority and
incorporates the development philosophy of the
government, its longterm vision and strategic goals
of desired development. The fundamental
objective of this long term plan is to alleviate
poverty by achieving higher growth and to turn
Bangladesh into a medium income country where
poverty will be brought to the minimum and
regional disparity in the sphere of economic
development will be reduced significantly.

percent in 2011 to 1.30 percent in 2012 but is
expected to rise to 1.50 percent in 2013. It has
been forecasted for eurozone to have sluggish
growth of -0.40 percent in 2012 which was 1.40
percent in 2011 and is expected to grow to 0.20
percent in 2013.
On the other hand, according to Asian
Development Outlook, October 2012, the dimming
global growth prospects and soft domestic
demand in the regions two largest economies are
slowing the pace of developing Asias expansion.
Growth was estimated to slide from 7.20 percent in
2011 to 6.10 percent in 2012, which was expected
to bounce back to register 6.70 percent growth in
2013.
Impressive Track Record of Bangladesh
Economy
Bangladeshs track record of achievements, in
different sectors and according to various
performance indicators, bear evidence that she is
making impressive and encouraging progress
towards attaining her goal of being a middle
income country by 2021. Bangladesh was able to
accelerate her GDP growth from under 4.00
percent per year to over 6.00 percent within a span
of two decades. Our country has been able to
make commendable transition from a
predominantly aid-dependent economy to a
trading nation. The combined net foreign
exchange earnings from export of goods and
remittance are at present about fifteen times more
than the aid we receive annually.
Bangladesh has established herself as the second
largest exporter of apparels in the world, after
China; our shipbuilding, footwear, pharmaceuticals
and other non-traditional exports are showing
encouraging signs. Our farmers have increased
food grains production by more than three fold
since independence enabling Bangladesh to more
towards food security. Our economy has been able
to demonstrate impressive resilience in the face of
multiple global and financial crisis. Bangladeshs
track record in attaining key Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) including in the areas
of poverty alleviation, gender parity, and access to

Directors Report
to the Shareholders
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
Respected Shareholders
Assalamu Alaikum
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am indeed
delighted to present before you the sixth Annual
Report of Agrani Bank Limited. The report
evaluates and analyzes banks overall operational
performance of 2012 compared to that of 2011. I
would request you to read the information and
analyses in conjunction with the audited financial
statements presented herewith. The report also
presents an overview of the global economic
scenario and the performance of Bangladesh
Economy to put in perspective the banks
performance.
Global Economic Scenario
Immediately after the recovery from economic
crisis in 2010, the global economy is again facing
challenges as the recession re-emerged in the first
half of FY 2011-12 due to sovereign debt crisis in
several euro-zone economies and economic
instability in the USA. However, steps taken to
reinvigorate the USA economy and joint efforts to
protect euro economies from further effect of
recession have slightly watered down the effect in
the second half of 2011. Despite some
deceleration in the growth of the developed
economies and slight slowdown in economic
growth of emerging and developing countries
compared to the growth momentum in 2011;
economic growth of emerging and developing
countries remains fairly strong.
According to World Economic Outlook (WEO),
October 2012 of IMF, despite that the world
economic growth slowed to 3.30 percent in 2012
from 3.80 percent in 2011, it is projected to rise to
3.60 percent in 2013. Growth of high income
countries would deteriorate further from 1.60

health and education has received high global
acclaim.
These aforesaid achievements were possible
through a combination of factors: supportive
government policies and targeted resource
allocation; the hard work of farmers and workers at
home and abroad, contribution of the private
sector and our vibrant entrepreneurial class,
proactive role of our non-government actors
including in areas of disbursement of micro-credit,
development of micro-enterprises and raising
consciousness about economic and social issues;
target support provided by development partners.
Macroeconomic Scenario of Bangladesh
Economic Growth
Although the growth of Bangladesh economy
slowed down in the context of negative growth in
world trade at the beginning of the global financial
crisis in FY 2008-09, next year this growth
bounced back and average growth remained
above 6.00 percent in the last three years.
According to BBS, GDP grew to 6.71 percent in FY
2010-11 and the estimated GDP growth rate for FY
2011-12 is 6.32 percent. However, because of high
base effect induced by more than 5.00 percent
growth in agriculture sector during the last two
years, the growth of FY 2011-12 dipped a little
which is still satisfactory. Alongside, substantial
growth in industry and service sector has
contributed to overall GDP growth. In FY2011-12,
growth in agriculture, industry and service sectors
have estimated to 2.53 percent, 9.47 percent and
6.06 percent respectively. This year GDP and GNI
per capita stood at US$ 772 and US$ 848 which
were US$ 748 and US$ 816 respectively in the last
fiscal year.
Savings and Investment
Estimated domestic savings slightly increased
from 19.30 percent of GDP in FY 2010-11 to 19.40
percent of GDP in FY 2011-12. Investment in FY
2011-12 also showed similar feature with a slight
increase and stood at 25.40 percent of GDP in FY
2011-12 from 25.20 percent of GDP in FY2010-11.
Of which the share of private investment stood at
19.10 percent of GDP while that of public
investment was 6.30 percent in FY 2011-12. In FY

2010-11, the private and the public sector investments
were 19.50 percent and 5.60 percent of GDP
respectively. Major initiatives of the Government
implemented in infrastructure sector including power
and reduction in cost of doing business helped create
investment-friendly environment. In addition to this,
because of satisfactory growth of remittances, national
savings in FY 2011-12 upturned to 29.40 percent of GDP
from 28.80 percent of GDP in the previous year.
Inflation
The 12 month average inflation rate reached to
10.62 percent in FY 2011-12 which was 8.80
percent in FY2010-11. Oil and food inflation in
global market and excessive credit flows to
unproductive sectors were mainly responsible for
this upturn. Inflation on point to point basis in June
2012 stood at 8.56 percent which was 10.49
percent in March 2011. From the trend analysis of
inflation in Bangladesh, it is clear that in the first
half of FY 2011- 2012 general inflation went up
because of food inflation. However, at the end of
FY2011-12, non-food inflation was the key factor in
pushing general inflation upward. At this point in
time, food inflation recorded to 7.08 (monthly rate,
point to point basis) percent from about 13.00
percent in the same month of FY2010-11.
Satisfactory food production and supply of
essential commodities including demand
management through Open Market Sale (OMS) of
the essential commodities and sufficient stock of
food grains contributed to the efforts of pulling
down food inflation. On the other hand, there was
a non-food inflationary pressure due to price hike
in international market, depreciation in exchange
rate and adjustment of oil price. In order to contain
inflation, the Government has undertaken
necessary steps by forging better coordination
between fiscal and monetary policies. Although
there was a pressure of oil price adjustment on
food price, it was transitory. It is expected that
actions like discouraging credit flows to
unproductive sector alongside adopting restrained
and effective monetary policy will reduce the
inflationary pressure.

Fiscal Situation
Revenue Earning
A target for revenue receipt was set at Tk.1,18,385
crore (12.94 percent of GDP) in FY 2011-12 of
which NBR tax revenue accounted for Tk. 91,870
crore (10.00 percent of GDP), non-NBR revenue,
Tk. 3,915 crore (0.40 percent of GDP) and non-tax
revenue Tk. 22,600 crore (2.47 percent of GDP).
Against these targets, tax revenue from NBR
sources stood at Tk. 91,597 crore while revenue
receipts from non-NBR source and non-tax
revenue receipts were Tk. 3,633 crore and Tk.
18,550 core respectively in FY 2011-12. Total
revenue receipts increased by 19.53 percent from
Tk. 95,188 crore in FY 2010-11 to Tk. 1,13,781
crore in FY 2011-12.
Monetary and Financial Sector
Following the global financial crisis, monetary
policy stance was accommodative in FY2010-11
which has been adjusted in FY 2011-12 consistent
with the changes in the global and domestic
economic scenario. The monetary policy of FY
2011-12 was formulated to maintain a restrained
money supply and credit growth to manage the
pressure arising from a number of factors including
the lagged effect of high domestic credit growth in
the previous year, high inflation transmitted
through global price hike of essential commodities
including food items and huge borrowing from
banking system to meet government expenditure.
The restrained monetary policy was adopted to
ensure continued support for adequate credit flows
to the productive and priority sectors including
agriculture and SME, while controlling money
supply and credit to unproductive sectors. To
downturn the inflation into a tolerable level
Bangladesh Bank has re-fixed the policy rate of
REPO and reverse REPO at 7.75 percent and 5.75
percent respectively by raising 225 points on 4
occasions.
Interest Rate
There was a maximum cap of 7.00 percent interest
rate on export credit fixed since January 10, 2004

to facilitate export earnings. Recently, the cap on
interest rate on lending in all sectors other than
pre-shipment export credit and agricultural loans
has been withdrawn. This has brought
competitiveness among banks in fixing rate of
interest on lending in a rational manner. Banks are
allowed to differentiate interest rate up to a
maximum of 3.00 percent considering comparative
risk elements involved among borrowers in the
same lending category which they would promptly
expose in their respective website and inform to
the Bangladesh Bank.
External Sector
Export
In the wake of the recovery from global financial
recession, the export trade of Bangladesh made a
turnaround. However, sovereign credit crisis in
eurozone which is one of Bangladeshs main
export destinations is having its impact on export
trade. The export earnings of Bangladesh stood at
US$ 24,288 million in FY 2011-12, which was 5.90
percent higher than the export earnings (US$
22,928 million) of FY 2010-11. Export earnings in
FY 2011-12 by major categories increased mainly
for footwear (30.10 percent), engineering products
(21.10 percent), woven garments (13.90 percent)
and leather (10.80 percent). On the other hand,
export earnings dipped in respect of raw jute
(-25.40 percent), ceramic product (-10.20 percent)
and jute goods (-7.50 percent). Some of the
facilities under the incentive package declared by
the Government are still continuing. Assistance for
the entrepreneurs tiled New Market Exploration
Assistance announced under the incentive
package is also being extended this year for
diversification of goods and exploration of new
export market. In the meantime, export markets
have been created in Japan, Korea, South Africa
and Turkey. Besides, due to reduction of duties by
India, Bangladeshi commodities are having gainful
access to India.
Import
The total import payments (C&F) stood at US$
35,516 million during FY 2011-12, which was 5.50

percent higher than the import payments of US$
33,657 million of the preceding year. Although
import payments increased at the beginning of this
fiscal year due to price hike of fuel in the global
market and higher demand of fuel for electricity
generation, it slowed down towards the end of the
year as import of unimportant goods were
discouraged. Analyzing the category of imported
goods, it is observed that, import payments for
industrial raw materials, petroleum and petroleum
products increased by 22.75 percent, 11.15
percent and 21.76 percent respectively, while
import of capital machinery and primary
commodities decreased by 13.73 percent and
25.79 percent respectively.
Overseas Employment and Remittance
Although export of manpower slowed down in the
first half of FY 2010-11 because of the impact of
global recession, particularly on the real estate
markets in the Middle East, and on industrial
labour demand in some South East Asian
economies such as Malaysia, it began to increase
from January 2011. The amount of remittances
increased by 6.03 percent to US$ 11,650.32
million in FY 2010-11 compared to that of the
previous year. Bangladesh earned remittances of
US$ 12,843.40 million in FY 2011-12 which was
10.24 percent higher than the amount of the
previous year. The Government has undertaken
several initiatives including diplomatic approaches
to explore new markets. As many as 6.91 lakh
workers went abroad in quest of jobs in FY
2011-12, which was 57.40 percent higher than the
number stood at in the previous year. To begin
manpower export in full swing to Africa, East
Europe and Latin America, a number of diplomatic
initiatives have been undertaken alongside
establishing new labour wings in several countries.
There is also an attempt to impart training on
various trades to create skilled labour force to
meet the demand of labour markets abroad.
Balance of Payment
Trade balance recorded a rise in deficit by 3.20
percent to US$ 7,995 million in the FY 2011-12 as
compared to the deficit of US$ 7,744 million during
FY 2010-11. During this period, the current

Medium Term Prospect of Bangladesh Economy
In the current context of domestic and global
economic scenario, a Medium-Term
Macroeconomic Framework (MTMF) for FY
2012-2016 has been worked out based on some
fundamental assumptions. Just after the recovery of
the world economy from yearlong global recession
during 2008-09, devastating tsunami and
destruction of nuclear power plant in Japan, the
ongoing sovereign debt crisis in several eurozone
economies and continuing economic instability and
high unemployment in the USA, have slowed the
pace of the world economic growth significantly. As
a result, the global output decreased in 2011.
However, afterwards, an integrated policy and
strategies to overcome the eurozone crisis,
rebouncing of US economic growth and sustaining
the domestic demand in emerging and developing
economies, it was expected that global output
would increase in 2012.
Different macroeconomic indicators for the next
fiscal year and over the medium term have been
updated in view of continued satisfactory
performance in revenue collection, growth in
agriculture sector, investment in infrastructure
including power, exchange rate stability and
containment of inflationary pressure.
In the Medium Term Macroeconomic Framework,
real GDP growth has been estimated at 7.20
percent for FY 2012-13, 7.60 percent for FY
2013-14, 8.00 percent for FY 2014-15 and 9.10
percent for FY 2015-16 respectively. It is expected
that investment will increase from 25.40 percent of
GDP in FY 2011-12 to 33.70 percent in FY 2016-17
where private and public investment will stand at
25.20 percent and 8.50 percent respectively. On
the other hand, domestic savings is expected to
increase to 22.40 percent from 19.60 percent and
national savings will go up from 29.40 percent to
32.80 percent in the medium term.

Development of agriculture sector including that of
power, energy and communication sectors are
crucial for achieving the desired growth of GDP.
Undertaking initiatives as envisaged in the
roadmap for power, exploring new gas deposits to
meet existing energy demand and utilising
renewable energy will ensure investment-friendly
environment in power and energy sector. It is also
expected that infrastructure deficit will be removed
by reinvigorating public-Private Partnership (PPP)
initiatives in the development of communication
sector and efficient and timely implementation of
Annual Development Program. In order to ensure
proper implementation of projects to be taken up
under PPP, a scheme has been worked out and a
set of policies and guidelines have been approved
by the Government.
In agriculture sector, there was a consistent and
positive growth over the last three years. Huge
government support such as subsidy, power
supply for irrigation, flow of agricultural credit,
innovation of new variety of salinity tolerant seed
and weather, and increasing assistance to
agro-based industries contributed significantly in
achieving sustainable growth in agriculture sector.
All these activities will continue which is expected
to support sustainable agricultural growth.
The estimated government expenditure stood at
16.50 percent of GDP in FY 2011-12 which is
expected to be 18.40 percent in FY 2012-13. The
target for FY 2016-17 has been set at 20.60
percent of GDP. Against this, expenditure on
Annual Development Programme is planned to be
increased from 3.90 percent of GDP in FY 2011-12
to 7.00 percent of GDP in FY 2016-17.
For financing the deficit, Government has planned
to reduce borrowing from the banking system. In
this regard, priority has been given to foreign
assistance which were committed and in pipe line.
For consecutive two years, Standard and Poors
(S&P) and Moodys retained the same sovereign
credit rating for Bangladesh. In their respective
lists rating for Bangladesh is BB- and Ba3.
According to this rating, in terms of credit
worthiness, Bangladesh is at par with the
Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam. Such rating
will decrease the cost of debenture and import
payment and will help in attracting more foreign
investment.

Containing inflation is a big challenge for
macroeconomic stability. In MTMF, inflation has
forecasted to bring down at 7.50 percent in the
upcoming fiscal year and that is expected to bring
out almost 5.00 percent. It was expected that the
steps taken to increase food production,
uninterrupted food supply and enhance food
security would also be helpful in reining on
inflation. Bangladesh Bank in its monetary policy
statement has laid emphasis on limiting money
supply and discouraging credit flow to the
unproductive sectors. Side by side, emphasis is
also given to ensure credit flow to productive and
priority sectors including agriculture and SME
sectors.
Financial recession in eurozone economies, one of
the major export markets of Bangladesh, has
affected its export sector slowing it down to 6.20
percent in FY 2011-12. However, it has been
possible to tackle the crisis through integrated
efforts of euro countries. Besides, initiatives on
exploring new markets and diversification of export
goods have already contributed to our economy,
though to a limited extent.
The remittances from expatriate Bangladeshi
workers grew by 10.24 percent during this year
which has been estimated to be 12.00 percent for
next years. It is expected that concerted efforts on
exploring new labour markets and intensive
diplomatic initiatives will increase expatriate
employment and contribute towards sustaining the
existing trends of remittance of flows. The current
account balance (CAB) decreased but in MTMF it
is expected to bring back in a positive territory.
Pressures on exchange rate and foreign exchange
reserve have been offset due to adoption of
effective fiscal and monetary policy stances. Both
the exchange rate and reserve situation remained
stable at the end of FY 2011-12. The goal of
maintaining macroeconomic stability together with
expected GDP growth and target of inflation will be
achieved if the future shocks from domestic as well
as external sectors could be tackled properly.
Digital Bangladesh
Its true meaning lies in proper application of
technology to implement all the commitments of

the government regarding education, health,
employment and poverty alleviation. The main
purpose of this idea is to improve the standards of
living of the people by empowering them, ensuring
transparency and accountability in all spheres of
life, establishing good-governance and, above all,
bringing public services to their doorsteps through
the most effective use of technology. In short,
Digital Bangladesh is a happy prosperous and
enlightened Bangladesh, which is free from
hunger, poverty, inequality and corruption and
belongs completely to its people and is driven
forward by digital technology.
Perspective Plan 2010-2021
The Government keeping in view the Golden
Jubilee of Independence has formulated
Bangladesh Perspective Planning 2010-2021,
in the light of Vision-2021 to attain a definite set of
objectives that relate to economic and social
development of Bangladesh. The document
reflects the hopes and aspirations of common
people which has been given the top priority and
incorporates the development philosophy of the
government, its longterm vision and strategic goals
of desired development. The fundamental
objective of this long term plan is to alleviate
poverty by achieving higher growth and to turn
Bangladesh into a medium income country where
poverty will be brought to the minimum and
regional disparity in the sphere of economic
development will be reduced significantly.

percent in 2011 to 1.30 percent in 2012 but is
expected to rise to 1.50 percent in 2013. It has
been forecasted for eurozone to have sluggish
growth of -0.40 percent in 2012 which was 1.40
percent in 2011 and is expected to grow to 0.20
percent in 2013.
On the other hand, according to Asian
Development Outlook, October 2012, the dimming
global growth prospects and soft domestic
demand in the regions two largest economies are
slowing the pace of developing Asias expansion.
Growth was estimated to slide from 7.20 percent in
2011 to 6.10 percent in 2012, which was expected
to bounce back to register 6.70 percent growth in
2013.
Impressive Track Record of Bangladesh
Economy
Bangladeshs track record of achievements, in
different sectors and according to various
performance indicators, bear evidence that she is
making impressive and encouraging progress
towards attaining her goal of being a middle
income country by 2021. Bangladesh was able to
accelerate her GDP growth from under 4.00
percent per year to over 6.00 percent within a span
of two decades. Our country has been able to
make commendable transition from a
predominantly aid-dependent economy to a
trading nation. The combined net foreign
exchange earnings from export of goods and
remittance are at present about fifteen times more
than the aid we receive annually.
Bangladesh has established herself as the second
largest exporter of apparels in the world, after
China; our shipbuilding, footwear, pharmaceuticals
and other non-traditional exports are showing
encouraging signs. Our farmers have increased
food grains production by more than three fold
since independence enabling Bangladesh to more
towards food security. Our economy has been able
to demonstrate impressive resilience in the face of
multiple global and financial crisis. Bangladeshs
track record in attaining key Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) including in the areas
of poverty alleviation, gender parity, and access to

Directors Report
to the Shareholders
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
Respected Shareholders
Assalamu Alaikum
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am indeed
delighted to present before you the sixth Annual
Report of Agrani Bank Limited. The report
evaluates and analyzes banks overall operational
performance of 2012 compared to that of 2011. I
would request you to read the information and
analyses in conjunction with the audited financial
statements presented herewith. The report also
presents an overview of the global economic
scenario and the performance of Bangladesh
Economy to put in perspective the banks
performance.
Global Economic Scenario
Immediately after the recovery from economic
crisis in 2010, the global economy is again facing
challenges as the recession re-emerged in the first
half of FY 2011-12 due to sovereign debt crisis in
several euro-zone economies and economic
instability in the USA. However, steps taken to
reinvigorate the USA economy and joint efforts to
protect euro economies from further effect of
recession have slightly watered down the effect in
the second half of 2011. Despite some
deceleration in the growth of the developed
economies and slight slowdown in economic
growth of emerging and developing countries
compared to the growth momentum in 2011;
economic growth of emerging and developing
countries remains fairly strong.
According to World Economic Outlook (WEO),
October 2012 of IMF, despite that the world
economic growth slowed to 3.30 percent in 2012
from 3.80 percent in 2011, it is projected to rise to
3.60 percent in 2013. Growth of high income
countries would deteriorate further from 1.60

health and education has received high global
acclaim.
These aforesaid achievements were possible
through a combination of factors: supportive
government policies and targeted resource
allocation; the hard work of farmers and workers at
home and abroad, contribution of the private
sector and our vibrant entrepreneurial class,
proactive role of our non-government actors
including in areas of disbursement of micro-credit,
development of micro-enterprises and raising
consciousness about economic and social issues;
target support provided by development partners.
Macroeconomic Scenario of Bangladesh
Economic Growth
Although the growth of Bangladesh economy
slowed down in the context of negative growth in
world trade at the beginning of the global financial
crisis in FY 2008-09, next year this growth
bounced back and average growth remained
above 6.00 percent in the last three years.
According to BBS, GDP grew to 6.71 percent in FY
2010-11 and the estimated GDP growth rate for FY
2011-12 is 6.32 percent. However, because of high
base effect induced by more than 5.00 percent
growth in agriculture sector during the last two
years, the growth of FY 2011-12 dipped a little
which is still satisfactory. Alongside, substantial
growth in industry and service sector has
contributed to overall GDP growth. In FY2011-12,
growth in agriculture, industry and service sectors
have estimated to 2.53 percent, 9.47 percent and
6.06 percent respectively. This year GDP and GNI
per capita stood at US$ 772 and US$ 848 which
were US$ 748 and US$ 816 respectively in the last
fiscal year.
Savings and Investment
Estimated domestic savings slightly increased
from 19.30 percent of GDP in FY 2010-11 to 19.40
percent of GDP in FY 2011-12. Investment in FY
2011-12 also showed similar feature with a slight
increase and stood at 25.40 percent of GDP in FY
2011-12 from 25.20 percent of GDP in FY2010-11.
Of which the share of private investment stood at
19.10 percent of GDP while that of public
investment was 6.30 percent in FY 2011-12. In FY

2010-11, the private and the public sector investments
were 19.50 percent and 5.60 percent of GDP
respectively. Major initiatives of the Government
implemented in infrastructure sector including power
and reduction in cost of doing business helped create
investment-friendly environment. In addition to this,
because of satisfactory growth of remittances, national
savings in FY 2011-12 upturned to 29.40 percent of GDP
from 28.80 percent of GDP in the previous year.
Inflation
The 12 month average inflation rate reached to
10.62 percent in FY 2011-12 which was 8.80
percent in FY2010-11. Oil and food inflation in
global market and excessive credit flows to
unproductive sectors were mainly responsible for
this upturn. Inflation on point to point basis in June
2012 stood at 8.56 percent which was 10.49
percent in March 2011. From the trend analysis of
inflation in Bangladesh, it is clear that in the first
half of FY 2011- 2012 general inflation went up
because of food inflation. However, at the end of
FY2011-12, non-food inflation was the key factor in
pushing general inflation upward. At this point in
time, food inflation recorded to 7.08 (monthly rate,
point to point basis) percent from about 13.00
percent in the same month of FY2010-11.
Satisfactory food production and supply of
essential commodities including demand
management through Open Market Sale (OMS) of
the essential commodities and sufficient stock of
food grains contributed to the efforts of pulling
down food inflation. On the other hand, there was
a non-food inflationary pressure due to price hike
in international market, depreciation in exchange
rate and adjustment of oil price. In order to contain
inflation, the Government has undertaken
necessary steps by forging better coordination
between fiscal and monetary policies. Although
there was a pressure of oil price adjustment on
food price, it was transitory. It is expected that
actions like discouraging credit flows to
unproductive sector alongside adopting restrained
and effective monetary policy will reduce the
inflationary pressure.

Fiscal Situation
Revenue Earning
A target for revenue receipt was set at Tk.1,18,385
crore (12.94 percent of GDP) in FY 2011-12 of
which NBR tax revenue accounted for Tk. 91,870
crore (10.00 percent of GDP), non-NBR revenue,
Tk. 3,915 crore (0.40 percent of GDP) and non-tax
revenue Tk. 22,600 crore (2.47 percent of GDP).
Against these targets, tax revenue from NBR
sources stood at Tk. 91,597 crore while revenue
receipts from non-NBR source and non-tax
revenue receipts were Tk. 3,633 crore and Tk.
18,550 core respectively in FY 2011-12. Total
revenue receipts increased by 19.53 percent from
Tk. 95,188 crore in FY 2010-11 to Tk. 1,13,781
crore in FY 2011-12.
Monetary and Financial Sector
Following the global financial crisis, monetary
policy stance was accommodative in FY2010-11
which has been adjusted in FY 2011-12 consistent
with the changes in the global and domestic
economic scenario. The monetary policy of FY
2011-12 was formulated to maintain a restrained
money supply and credit growth to manage the
pressure arising from a number of factors including
the lagged effect of high domestic credit growth in
the previous year, high inflation transmitted
through global price hike of essential commodities
including food items and huge borrowing from
banking system to meet government expenditure.
The restrained monetary policy was adopted to
ensure continued support for adequate credit flows
to the productive and priority sectors including
agriculture and SME, while controlling money
supply and credit to unproductive sectors. To
downturn the inflation into a tolerable level
Bangladesh Bank has re-fixed the policy rate of
REPO and reverse REPO at 7.75 percent and 5.75
percent respectively by raising 225 points on 4
occasions.
Interest Rate
There was a maximum cap of 7.00 percent interest
rate on export credit fixed since January 10, 2004

to facilitate export earnings. Recently, the cap on
interest rate on lending in all sectors other than
pre-shipment export credit and agricultural loans
has been withdrawn. This has brought
competitiveness among banks in fixing rate of
interest on lending in a rational manner. Banks are
allowed to differentiate interest rate up to a
maximum of 3.00 percent considering comparative
risk elements involved among borrowers in the
same lending category which they would promptly
expose in their respective website and inform to
the Bangladesh Bank.
External Sector
Export
In the wake of the recovery from global financial
recession, the export trade of Bangladesh made a
turnaround. However, sovereign credit crisis in
eurozone which is one of Bangladeshs main
export destinations is having its impact on export
trade. The export earnings of Bangladesh stood at
US$ 24,288 million in FY 2011-12, which was 5.90
percent higher than the export earnings (US$
22,928 million) of FY 2010-11. Export earnings in
FY 2011-12 by major categories increased mainly
for footwear (30.10 percent), engineering products
(21.10 percent), woven garments (13.90 percent)
and leather (10.80 percent). On the other hand,
export earnings dipped in respect of raw jute
(-25.40 percent), ceramic product (-10.20 percent)
and jute goods (-7.50 percent). Some of the
facilities under the incentive package declared by
the Government are still continuing. Assistance for
the entrepreneurs tiled New Market Exploration
Assistance announced under the incentive
package is also being extended this year for
diversification of goods and exploration of new
export market. In the meantime, export markets
have been created in Japan, Korea, South Africa
and Turkey. Besides, due to reduction of duties by
India, Bangladeshi commodities are having gainful
access to India.
Import
The total import payments (C&F) stood at US$
35,516 million during FY 2011-12, which was 5.50

percent higher than the import payments of US$
33,657 million of the preceding year. Although
import payments increased at the beginning of this
fiscal year due to price hike of fuel in the global
market and higher demand of fuel for electricity
generation, it slowed down towards the end of the
year as import of unimportant goods were
discouraged. Analyzing the category of imported
goods, it is observed that, import payments for
industrial raw materials, petroleum and petroleum
products increased by 22.75 percent, 11.15
percent and 21.76 percent respectively, while
import of capital machinery and primary
commodities decreased by 13.73 percent and
25.79 percent respectively.
Overseas Employment and Remittance
Although export of manpower slowed down in the
first half of FY 2010-11 because of the impact of
global recession, particularly on the real estate
markets in the Middle East, and on industrial
labour demand in some South East Asian
economies such as Malaysia, it began to increase
from January 2011. The amount of remittances
increased by 6.03 percent to US$ 11,650.32
million in FY 2010-11 compared to that of the
previous year. Bangladesh earned remittances of
US$ 12,843.40 million in FY 2011-12 which was
10.24 percent higher than the amount of the
previous year. The Government has undertaken
several initiatives including diplomatic approaches
to explore new markets. As many as 6.91 lakh
workers went abroad in quest of jobs in FY
2011-12, which was 57.40 percent higher than the
number stood at in the previous year. To begin
manpower export in full swing to Africa, East
Europe and Latin America, a number of diplomatic
initiatives have been undertaken alongside
establishing new labour wings in several countries.
There is also an attempt to impart training on
various trades to create skilled labour force to
meet the demand of labour markets abroad.
Balance of Payment
Trade balance recorded a rise in deficit by 3.20
percent to US$ 7,995 million in the FY 2011-12 as
compared to the deficit of US$ 7,744 million during
FY 2010-11. During this period, the current

account balance recorded a surplus of US$ 1,630
million as compared to the surplus of US$ 885
million of FY 2010-11.The deficit recorded in the
overall balance of payment stood at US$ 494
million in FY 2011-12, which was US$ 656 million
in FY 2010-11.
Medium Term Prospect of Bangladesh Economy
In the current context of domestic and global
economic scenario, a Medium-Term
Macroeconomic Framework (MTMF) for FY
2012-2016 has been worked out based on some
fundamental assumptions. Just after the recovery of
the world economy from yearlong global recession
during 2008-09, devastating tsunami and
destruction of nuclear power plant in Japan, the
ongoing sovereign debt crisis in several eurozone
economies and continuing economic instability and
high unemployment in the USA, have slowed the
pace of the world economic growth significantly. As
a result, the global output decreased in 2011.
However, afterwards, an integrated policy and
strategies to overcome the eurozone crisis,
rebouncing of US economic growth and sustaining
the domestic demand in emerging and developing
economies, it was expected that global output
would increase in 2012.
Different macroeconomic indicators for the next
fiscal year and over the medium term have been
updated in view of continued satisfactory
performance in revenue collection, growth in
agriculture sector, investment in infrastructure
including power, exchange rate stability and
containment of inflationary pressure.
In the Medium Term Macroeconomic Framework,
real GDP growth has been estimated at 7.20
percent for FY 2012-13, 7.60 percent for FY
2013-14, 8.00 percent for FY 2014-15 and 9.10
percent for FY 2015-16 respectively. It is expected
that investment will increase from 25.40 percent of
GDP in FY 2011-12 to 33.70 percent in FY 2016-17
where private and public investment will stand at
25.20 percent and 8.50 percent respectively. On
the other hand, domestic savings is expected to
increase to 22.40 percent from 19.60 percent and
national savings will go up from 29.40 percent to
32.80 percent in the medium term.

Development of agriculture sector including that of
power, energy and communication sectors are
crucial for achieving the desired growth of GDP.
Undertaking initiatives as envisaged in the
roadmap for power, exploring new gas deposits to
meet existing energy demand and utilising
renewable energy will ensure investment-friendly
environment in power and energy sector. It is also
expected that infrastructure deficit will be removed
by reinvigorating public-Private Partnership (PPP)
initiatives in the development of communication
sector and efficient and timely implementation of
Annual Development Program. In order to ensure
proper implementation of projects to be taken up
under PPP, a scheme has been worked out and a
set of policies and guidelines have been approved
by the Government.
In agriculture sector, there was a consistent and
positive growth over the last three years. Huge
government support such as subsidy, power
supply for irrigation, flow of agricultural credit,
innovation of new variety of salinity tolerant seed
and weather, and increasing assistance to
agro-based industries contributed significantly in
achieving sustainable growth in agriculture sector.
All these activities will continue which is expected
to support sustainable agricultural growth.
The estimated government expenditure stood at
16.50 percent of GDP in FY 2011-12 which is
expected to be 18.40 percent in FY 2012-13. The
target for FY 2016-17 has been set at 20.60
percent of GDP. Against this, expenditure on
Annual Development Programme is planned to be
increased from 3.90 percent of GDP in FY 2011-12
to 7.00 percent of GDP in FY 2016-17.
For financing the deficit, Government has planned
to reduce borrowing from the banking system. In
this regard, priority has been given to foreign
assistance which were committed and in pipe line.
For consecutive two years, Standard and Poors
(S&P) and Moodys retained the same sovereign
credit rating for Bangladesh. In their respective
lists rating for Bangladesh is BB- and Ba3.
According to this rating, in terms of credit
worthiness, Bangladesh is at par with the
Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam. Such rating
will decrease the cost of debenture and import
payment and will help in attracting more foreign
investment.

Containing inflation is a big challenge for
macroeconomic stability. In MTMF, inflation has
forecasted to bring down at 7.50 percent in the
upcoming fiscal year and that is expected to bring
out almost 5.00 percent. It was expected that the
steps taken to increase food production,
uninterrupted food supply and enhance food
security would also be helpful in reining on
inflation. Bangladesh Bank in its monetary policy
statement has laid emphasis on limiting money
supply and discouraging credit flow to the
unproductive sectors. Side by side, emphasis is
also given to ensure credit flow to productive and
priority sectors including agriculture and SME
sectors.
Financial recession in eurozone economies, one of
the major export markets of Bangladesh, has
affected its export sector slowing it down to 6.20
percent in FY 2011-12. However, it has been
possible to tackle the crisis through integrated
efforts of euro countries. Besides, initiatives on
exploring new markets and diversification of export
goods have already contributed to our economy,
though to a limited extent.
The remittances from expatriate Bangladeshi
workers grew by 10.24 percent during this year
which has been estimated to be 12.00 percent for
next years. It is expected that concerted efforts on
exploring new labour markets and intensive
diplomatic initiatives will increase expatriate
employment and contribute towards sustaining the
existing trends of remittance of flows. The current
account balance (CAB) decreased but in MTMF it
is expected to bring back in a positive territory.
Pressures on exchange rate and foreign exchange
reserve have been offset due to adoption of
effective fiscal and monetary policy stances. Both
the exchange rate and reserve situation remained
stable at the end of FY 2011-12. The goal of
maintaining macroeconomic stability together with
expected GDP growth and target of inflation will be
achieved if the future shocks from domestic as well
as external sectors could be tackled properly.
Digital Bangladesh
Its true meaning lies in proper application of
technology to implement all the commitments of

the government regarding education, health,
employment and poverty alleviation. The main
purpose of this idea is to improve the standards of
living of the people by empowering them, ensuring
transparency and accountability in all spheres of
life, establishing good-governance and, above all,
bringing public services to their doorsteps through
the most effective use of technology. In short,
Digital Bangladesh is a happy prosperous and
enlightened Bangladesh, which is free from
hunger, poverty, inequality and corruption and
belongs completely to its people and is driven
forward by digital technology.
Perspective Plan 2010-2021
The Government keeping in view the Golden
Jubilee of Independence has formulated
Bangladesh Perspective Planning 2010-2021,
in the light of Vision-2021 to attain a definite set of
objectives that relate to economic and social
development of Bangladesh. The document
reflects the hopes and aspirations of common
people which has been given the top priority and
incorporates the development philosophy of the
government, its longterm vision and strategic goals
of desired development. The fundamental
objective of this long term plan is to alleviate
poverty by achieving higher growth and to turn
Bangladesh into a medium income country where
poverty will be brought to the minimum and
regional disparity in the sphere of economic
development will be reduced significantly.

percent in 2011 to 1.30 percent in 2012 but is
expected to rise to 1.50 percent in 2013. It has
been forecasted for eurozone to have sluggish
growth of -0.40 percent in 2012 which was 1.40
percent in 2011 and is expected to grow to 0.20
percent in 2013.
On the other hand, according to Asian
Development Outlook, October 2012, the dimming
global growth prospects and soft domestic
demand in the regions two largest economies are
slowing the pace of developing Asias expansion.
Growth was estimated to slide from 7.20 percent in
2011 to 6.10 percent in 2012, which was expected
to bounce back to register 6.70 percent growth in
2013.
Impressive Track Record of Bangladesh
Economy
Bangladeshs track record of achievements, in
different sectors and according to various
performance indicators, bear evidence that she is
making impressive and encouraging progress
towards attaining her goal of being a middle
income country by 2021. Bangladesh was able to
accelerate her GDP growth from under 4.00
percent per year to over 6.00 percent within a span
of two decades. Our country has been able to
make commendable transition from a
predominantly aid-dependent economy to a
trading nation. The combined net foreign
exchange earnings from export of goods and
remittance are at present about fifteen times more
than the aid we receive annually.
Bangladesh has established herself as the second
largest exporter of apparels in the world, after
China; our shipbuilding, footwear, pharmaceuticals
and other non-traditional exports are showing
encouraging signs. Our farmers have increased
food grains production by more than three fold
since independence enabling Bangladesh to more
towards food security. Our economy has been able
to demonstrate impressive resilience in the face of
multiple global and financial crisis. Bangladeshs
track record in attaining key Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) including in the areas
of poverty alleviation, gender parity, and access to

Directors Report
to the Shareholders
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
Respected Shareholders
Assalamu Alaikum
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am indeed
delighted to present before you the sixth Annual
Report of Agrani Bank Limited. The report
evaluates and analyzes banks overall operational
performance of 2012 compared to that of 2011. I
would request you to read the information and
analyses in conjunction with the audited financial
statements presented herewith. The report also
presents an overview of the global economic
scenario and the performance of Bangladesh
Economy to put in perspective the banks
performance.
Global Economic Scenario
Immediately after the recovery from economic
crisis in 2010, the global economy is again facing
challenges as the recession re-emerged in the first
half of FY 2011-12 due to sovereign debt crisis in
several euro-zone economies and economic
instability in the USA. However, steps taken to
reinvigorate the USA economy and joint efforts to
protect euro economies from further effect of
recession have slightly watered down the effect in
the second half of 2011. Despite some
deceleration in the growth of the developed
economies and slight slowdown in economic
growth of emerging and developing countries
compared to the growth momentum in 2011;
economic growth of emerging and developing
countries remains fairly strong.
According to World Economic Outlook (WEO),
October 2012 of IMF, despite that the world
economic growth slowed to 3.30 percent in 2012
from 3.80 percent in 2011, it is projected to rise to
3.60 percent in 2013. Growth of high income
countries would deteriorate further from 1.60

health and education has received high global
acclaim.
These aforesaid achievements were possible
through a combination of factors: supportive
government policies and targeted resource
allocation; the hard work of farmers and workers at
home and abroad, contribution of the private
sector and our vibrant entrepreneurial class,
proactive role of our non-government actors
including in areas of disbursement of micro-credit,
development of micro-enterprises and raising
consciousness about economic and social issues;
target support provided by development partners.
Macroeconomic Scenario of Bangladesh
Economic Growth
Although the growth of Bangladesh economy
slowed down in the context of negative growth in
world trade at the beginning of the global financial
crisis in FY 2008-09, next year this growth
bounced back and average growth remained
above 6.00 percent in the last three years.
According to BBS, GDP grew to 6.71 percent in FY
2010-11 and the estimated GDP growth rate for FY
2011-12 is 6.32 percent. However, because of high
base effect induced by more than 5.00 percent
growth in agriculture sector during the last two
years, the growth of FY 2011-12 dipped a little
which is still satisfactory. Alongside, substantial
growth in industry and service sector has
contributed to overall GDP growth. In FY2011-12,
growth in agriculture, industry and service sectors
have estimated to 2.53 percent, 9.47 percent and
6.06 percent respectively. This year GDP and GNI
per capita stood at US$ 772 and US$ 848 which
were US$ 748 and US$ 816 respectively in the last
fiscal year.
Savings and Investment
Estimated domestic savings slightly increased
from 19.30 percent of GDP in FY 2010-11 to 19.40
percent of GDP in FY 2011-12. Investment in FY
2011-12 also showed similar feature with a slight
increase and stood at 25.40 percent of GDP in FY
2011-12 from 25.20 percent of GDP in FY2010-11.
Of which the share of private investment stood at
19.10 percent of GDP while that of public
investment was 6.30 percent in FY 2011-12. In FY

2010-11, the private and the public sector investments
were 19.50 percent and 5.60 percent of GDP
respectively. Major initiatives of the Government
implemented in infrastructure sector including power
and reduction in cost of doing business helped create
investment-friendly environment. In addition to this,
because of satisfactory growth of remittances, national
savings in FY 2011-12 upturned to 29.40 percent of GDP
from 28.80 percent of GDP in the previous year.
Inflation
The 12 month average inflation rate reached to
10.62 percent in FY 2011-12 which was 8.80
percent in FY2010-11. Oil and food inflation in
global market and excessive credit flows to
unproductive sectors were mainly responsible for
this upturn. Inflation on point to point basis in June
2012 stood at 8.56 percent which was 10.49
percent in March 2011. From the trend analysis of
inflation in Bangladesh, it is clear that in the first
half of FY 2011- 2012 general inflation went up
because of food inflation. However, at the end of
FY2011-12, non-food inflation was the key factor in
pushing general inflation upward. At this point in
time, food inflation recorded to 7.08 (monthly rate,
point to point basis) percent from about 13.00
percent in the same month of FY2010-11.
Satisfactory food production and supply of
essential commodities including demand
management through Open Market Sale (OMS) of
the essential commodities and sufficient stock of
food grains contributed to the efforts of pulling
down food inflation. On the other hand, there was
a non-food inflationary pressure due to price hike
in international market, depreciation in exchange
rate and adjustment of oil price. In order to contain
inflation, the Government has undertaken
necessary steps by forging better coordination
between fiscal and monetary policies. Although
there was a pressure of oil price adjustment on
food price, it was transitory. It is expected that
actions like discouraging credit flows to
unproductive sector alongside adopting restrained
and effective monetary policy will reduce the
inflationary pressure.

Fiscal Situation
Revenue Earning
A target for revenue receipt was set at Tk.1,18,385
crore (12.94 percent of GDP) in FY 2011-12 of
which NBR tax revenue accounted for Tk. 91,870
crore (10.00 percent of GDP), non-NBR revenue,
Tk. 3,915 crore (0.40 percent of GDP) and non-tax
revenue Tk. 22,600 crore (2.47 percent of GDP).
Against these targets, tax revenue from NBR
sources stood at Tk. 91,597 crore while revenue
receipts from non-NBR source and non-tax
revenue receipts were Tk. 3,633 crore and Tk.
18,550 core respectively in FY 2011-12. Total
revenue receipts increased by 19.53 percent from
Tk. 95,188 crore in FY 2010-11 to Tk. 1,13,781
crore in FY 2011-12.
Monetary and Financial Sector
Following the global financial crisis, monetary
policy stance was accommodative in FY2010-11
which has been adjusted in FY 2011-12 consistent
with the changes in the global and domestic
economic scenario. The monetary policy of FY
2011-12 was formulated to maintain a restrained
money supply and credit growth to manage the
pressure arising from a number of factors including
the lagged effect of high domestic credit growth in
the previous year, high inflation transmitted
through global price hike of essential commodities
including food items and huge borrowing from
banking system to meet government expenditure.
The restrained monetary policy was adopted to
ensure continued support for adequate credit flows
to the productive and priority sectors including
agriculture and SME, while controlling money
supply and credit to unproductive sectors. To
downturn the inflation into a tolerable level
Bangladesh Bank has re-fixed the policy rate of
REPO and reverse REPO at 7.75 percent and 5.75
percent respectively by raising 225 points on 4
occasions.
Interest Rate
There was a maximum cap of 7.00 percent interest
rate on export credit fixed since January 10, 2004

to facilitate export earnings. Recently, the cap on
interest rate on lending in all sectors other than
pre-shipment export credit and agricultural loans
has been withdrawn. This has brought
competitiveness among banks in fixing rate of
interest on lending in a rational manner. Banks are
allowed to differentiate interest rate up to a
maximum of 3.00 percent considering comparative
risk elements involved among borrowers in the
same lending category which they would promptly
expose in their respective website and inform to
the Bangladesh Bank.
External Sector
Export
In the wake of the recovery from global financial
recession, the export trade of Bangladesh made a
turnaround. However, sovereign credit crisis in
eurozone which is one of Bangladeshs main
export destinations is having its impact on export
trade. The export earnings of Bangladesh stood at
US$ 24,288 million in FY 2011-12, which was 5.90
percent higher than the export earnings (US$
22,928 million) of FY 2010-11. Export earnings in
FY 2011-12 by major categories increased mainly
for footwear (30.10 percent), engineering products
(21.10 percent), woven garments (13.90 percent)
and leather (10.80 percent). On the other hand,
export earnings dipped in respect of raw jute
(-25.40 percent), ceramic product (-10.20 percent)
and jute goods (-7.50 percent). Some of the
facilities under the incentive package declared by
the Government are still continuing. Assistance for
the entrepreneurs tiled New Market Exploration
Assistance announced under the incentive
package is also being extended this year for
diversification of goods and exploration of new
export market. In the meantime, export markets
have been created in Japan, Korea, South Africa
and Turkey. Besides, due to reduction of duties by
India, Bangladeshi commodities are having gainful
access to India.
Import
The total import payments (C&F) stood at US$
35,516 million during FY 2011-12, which was 5.50

percent higher than the import payments of US$
33,657 million of the preceding year. Although
import payments increased at the beginning of this
fiscal year due to price hike of fuel in the global
market and higher demand of fuel for electricity
generation, it slowed down towards the end of the
year as import of unimportant goods were
discouraged. Analyzing the category of imported
goods, it is observed that, import payments for
industrial raw materials, petroleum and petroleum
products increased by 22.75 percent, 11.15
percent and 21.76 percent respectively, while
import of capital machinery and primary
commodities decreased by 13.73 percent and
25.79 percent respectively.
Overseas Employment and Remittance
Although export of manpower slowed down in the
first half of FY 2010-11 because of the impact of
global recession, particularly on the real estate
markets in the Middle East, and on industrial
labour demand in some South East Asian
economies such as Malaysia, it began to increase
from January 2011. The amount of remittances
increased by 6.03 percent to US$ 11,650.32
million in FY 2010-11 compared to that of the
previous year. Bangladesh earned remittances of
US$ 12,843.40 million in FY 2011-12 which was
10.24 percent higher than the amount of the
previous year. The Government has undertaken
several initiatives including diplomatic approaches
to explore new markets. As many as 6.91 lakh
workers went abroad in quest of jobs in FY
2011-12, which was 57.40 percent higher than the
number stood at in the previous year. To begin
manpower export in full swing to Africa, East
Europe and Latin America, a number of diplomatic
initiatives have been undertaken alongside
establishing new labour wings in several countries.
There is also an attempt to impart training on
various trades to create skilled labour force to
meet the demand of labour markets abroad.
Balance of Payment
Trade balance recorded a rise in deficit by 3.20
percent to US$ 7,995 million in the FY 2011-12 as
compared to the deficit of US$ 7,744 million during
FY 2010-11. During this period, the current

Medium Term Prospect of Bangladesh Economy
In the current context of domestic and global
economic scenario, a Medium-Term
Macroeconomic Framework (MTMF) for FY
2012-2016 has been worked out based on some
fundamental assumptions. Just after the recovery of
the world economy from yearlong global recession
during 2008-09, devastating tsunami and
destruction of nuclear power plant in Japan, the
ongoing sovereign debt crisis in several eurozone
economies and continuing economic instability and
high unemployment in the USA, have slowed the
pace of the world economic growth significantly. As
a result, the global output decreased in 2011.
However, afterwards, an integrated policy and
strategies to overcome the eurozone crisis,
rebouncing of US economic growth and sustaining
the domestic demand in emerging and developing
economies, it was expected that global output
would increase in 2012.
Different macroeconomic indicators for the next
fiscal year and over the medium term have been
updated in view of continued satisfactory
performance in revenue collection, growth in
agriculture sector, investment in infrastructure
including power, exchange rate stability and
containment of inflationary pressure.
In the Medium Term Macroeconomic Framework,
real GDP growth has been estimated at 7.20
percent for FY 2012-13, 7.60 percent for FY
2013-14, 8.00 percent for FY 2014-15 and 9.10
percent for FY 2015-16 respectively. It is expected
that investment will increase from 25.40 percent of
GDP in FY 2011-12 to 33.70 percent in FY 2016-17
where private and public investment will stand at
25.20 percent and 8.50 percent respectively. On
the other hand, domestic savings is expected to
increase to 22.40 percent from 19.60 percent and
national savings will go up from 29.40 percent to
32.80 percent in the medium term.

Development of agriculture sector including that of
power, energy and communication sectors are
crucial for achieving the desired growth of GDP.
Undertaking initiatives as envisaged in the
roadmap for power, exploring new gas deposits to
meet existing energy demand and utilising
renewable energy will ensure investment-friendly
environment in power and energy sector. It is also
expected that infrastructure deficit will be removed
by reinvigorating public-Private Partnership (PPP)
initiatives in the development of communication
sector and efficient and timely implementation of
Annual Development Program. In order to ensure
proper implementation of projects to be taken up
under PPP, a scheme has been worked out and a
set of policies and guidelines have been approved
by the Government.
In agriculture sector, there was a consistent and
positive growth over the last three years. Huge
government support such as subsidy, power
supply for irrigation, flow of agricultural credit,
innovation of new variety of salinity tolerant seed
and weather, and increasing assistance to
agro-based industries contributed significantly in
achieving sustainable growth in agriculture sector.
All these activities will continue which is expected
to support sustainable agricultural growth.
The estimated government expenditure stood at
16.50 percent of GDP in FY 2011-12 which is
expected to be 18.40 percent in FY 2012-13. The
target for FY 2016-17 has been set at 20.60
percent of GDP. Against this, expenditure on
Annual Development Programme is planned to be
increased from 3.90 percent of GDP in FY 2011-12
to 7.00 percent of GDP in FY 2016-17.
For financing the deficit, Government has planned
to reduce borrowing from the banking system. In
this regard, priority has been given to foreign
assistance which were committed and in pipe line.
For consecutive two years, Standard and Poors
(S&P) and Moodys retained the same sovereign
credit rating for Bangladesh. In their respective
lists rating for Bangladesh is BB- and Ba3.
According to this rating, in terms of credit
worthiness, Bangladesh is at par with the
Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam. Such rating
will decrease the cost of debenture and import
payment and will help in attracting more foreign
investment.

Containing inflation is a big challenge for
macroeconomic stability. In MTMF, inflation has
forecasted to bring down at 7.50 percent in the
upcoming fiscal year and that is expected to bring
out almost 5.00 percent. It was expected that the
steps taken to increase food production,
uninterrupted food supply and enhance food
security would also be helpful in reining on
inflation. Bangladesh Bank in its monetary policy
statement has laid emphasis on limiting money
supply and discouraging credit flow to the
unproductive sectors. Side by side, emphasis is
also given to ensure credit flow to productive and
priority sectors including agriculture and SME
sectors.
Financial recession in eurozone economies, one of
the major export markets of Bangladesh, has
affected its export sector slowing it down to 6.20
percent in FY 2011-12. However, it has been
possible to tackle the crisis through integrated
efforts of euro countries. Besides, initiatives on
exploring new markets and diversification of export
goods have already contributed to our economy,
though to a limited extent.
The remittances from expatriate Bangladeshi
workers grew by 10.24 percent during this year
which has been estimated to be 12.00 percent for
next years. It is expected that concerted efforts on
exploring new labour markets and intensive
diplomatic initiatives will increase expatriate
employment and contribute towards sustaining the
existing trends of remittance of flows. The current
account balance (CAB) decreased but in MTMF it
is expected to bring back in a positive territory.
Pressures on exchange rate and foreign exchange
reserve have been offset due to adoption of
effective fiscal and monetary policy stances. Both
the exchange rate and reserve situation remained
stable at the end of FY 2011-12. The goal of
maintaining macroeconomic stability together with
expected GDP growth and target of inflation will be
achieved if the future shocks from domestic as well
as external sectors could be tackled properly.

Its true meaning lies in proper application of
technology to implement all the commitments of

the government regarding education, health,
employment and poverty alleviation. The main
purpose of this idea is to improve the standards of
living of the people by empowering them, ensuring
transparency and accountability in all spheres of
life, establishing good-governance and, above all,
bringing public services to their doorsteps through
the most effective use of technology. In short,
Digital Bangladesh is a happy prosperous and
enlightened Bangladesh, which is free from
hunger, poverty, inequality and corruption and
belongs completely to its people and is driven
forward by digital technology.
Perspective Plan 2010-2021
The Government keeping in view the Golden
Jubilee of Independence has formulated
Bangladesh Perspective Planning 2010-2021,
in the light of Vision-2021 to attain a definite set of
objectives that relate to economic and social
development of Bangladesh. The document
reflects the hopes and aspirations of common
people which has been given the top priority and
incorporates the development philosophy of the
government, its longterm vision and strategic goals
of desired development. The fundamental
objective of this long term plan is to alleviate
poverty by achieving higher growth and to turn
Bangladesh into a medium income country where
poverty will be brought to the minimum and
regional disparity in the sphere of economic
development will be reduced significantly.

percent in 2011 to 1.30 percent in 2012 but is
expected to rise to 1.50 percent in 2013. It has
been forecasted for eurozone to have sluggish
growth of -0.40 percent in 2012 which was 1.40
percent in 2011 and is expected to grow to 0.20
percent in 2013.
On the other hand, according to Asian
Development Outlook, October 2012, the dimming
global growth prospects and soft domestic
demand in the regions two largest economies are
slowing the pace of developing Asias expansion.
Growth was estimated to slide from 7.20 percent in
2011 to 6.10 percent in 2012, which was expected
to bounce back to register 6.70 percent growth in
2013.
Impressive Track Record of Bangladesh
Economy
Bangladeshs track record of achievements, in
different sectors and according to various
performance indicators, bear evidence that she is
making impressive and encouraging progress
towards attaining her goal of being a middle
income country by 2021. Bangladesh was able to
accelerate her GDP growth from under 4.00
percent per year to over 6.00 percent within a span
of two decades. Our country has been able to
make commendable transition from a
predominantly aid-dependent economy to a
trading nation. The combined net foreign
exchange earnings from export of goods and
remittance are at present about fifteen times more
than the aid we receive annually.
Bangladesh has established herself as the second
largest exporter of apparels in the world, after
China; our shipbuilding, footwear, pharmaceuticals
and other non-traditional exports are showing
encouraging signs. Our farmers have increased
food grains production by more than three fold
since independence enabling Bangladesh to more
towards food security. Our economy has been able
to demonstrate impressive resilience in the face of
multiple global and financial crisis. Bangladeshs
track record in attaining key Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) including in the areas
of poverty alleviation, gender parity, and access to

Directors Report
to the Shareholders
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
Respected Shareholders
Assalamu Alaikum
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am indeed
delighted to present before you the sixth Annual
Report of Agrani Bank Limited. The report
evaluates and analyzes banks overall operational
performance of 2012 compared to that of 2011. I
would request you to read the information and
analyses in conjunction with the audited financial
statements presented herewith. The report also
presents an overview of the global economic
scenario and the performance of Bangladesh
Economy to put in perspective the banks
performance.
Global Economic Scenario
Immediately after the recovery from economic
crisis in 2010, the global economy is again facing
challenges as the recession re-emerged in the first
half of FY 2011-12 due to sovereign debt crisis in
several euro-zone economies and economic
instability in the USA. However, steps taken to
reinvigorate the USA economy and joint efforts to
protect euro economies from further effect of
recession have slightly watered down the effect in
the second half of 2011. Despite some
deceleration in the growth of the developed
economies and slight slowdown in economic
growth of emerging and developing countries
compared to the growth momentum in 2011;
economic growth of emerging and developing
countries remains fairly strong.
According to World Economic Outlook (WEO),
October 2012 of IMF, despite that the world
economic growth slowed to 3.30 percent in 2012
from 3.80 percent in 2011, it is projected to rise to
3.60 percent in 2013. Growth of high income
countries would deteriorate further from 1.60

health and education has received high global
acclaim.
These aforesaid achievements were possible
through a combination of factors: supportive
government policies and targeted resource
allocation; the hard work of farmers and workers at
home and abroad, contribution of the private
sector and our vibrant entrepreneurial class,
proactive role of our non-government actors
including in areas of disbursement of micro-credit,
development of micro-enterprises and raising
consciousness about economic and social issues;
target support provided by development partners.
Macroeconomic Scenario of Bangladesh
Economic Growth
Although the growth of Bangladesh economy
slowed down in the context of negative growth in
world trade at the beginning of the global financial
crisis in FY 2008-09, next year this growth
bounced back and average growth remained
above 6.00 percent in the last three years.
According to BBS, GDP grew to 6.71 percent in FY
2010-11 and the estimated GDP growth rate for FY
2011-12 is 6.32 percent. However, because of high
base effect induced by more than 5.00 percent
growth in agriculture sector during the last two
years, the growth of FY 2011-12 dipped a little
which is still satisfactory. Alongside, substantial
growth in industry and service sector has
contributed to overall GDP growth. In FY2011-12,
growth in agriculture, industry and service sectors
have estimated to 2.53 percent, 9.47 percent and
6.06 percent respectively. This year GDP and GNI
per capita stood at US$ 772 and US$ 848 which
were US$ 748 and US$ 816 respectively in the last
fiscal year.
Savings and Investment
Estimated domestic savings slightly increased
from 19.30 percent of GDP in FY 2010-11 to 19.40
percent of GDP in FY 2011-12. Investment in FY
2011-12 also showed similar feature with a slight
increase and stood at 25.40 percent of GDP in FY
2011-12 from 25.20 percent of GDP in FY2010-11.
Of which the share of private investment stood at
19.10 percent of GDP while that of public
investment was 6.30 percent in FY 2011-12. In FY

2010-11, the private and the public sector investments
were 19.50 percent and 5.60 percent of GDP
respectively. Major initiatives of the Government
implemented in infrastructure sector including power
and reduction in cost of doing business helped create
investment-friendly environment. In addition to this,
because of satisfactory growth of remittances, national
savings in FY 2011-12 upturned to 29.40 percent of GDP
from 28.80 percent of GDP in the previous year.
Inflation
The 12 month average inflation rate reached to
10.62 percent in FY 2011-12 which was 8.80
percent in FY2010-11. Oil and food inflation in
global market and excessive credit flows to
unproductive sectors were mainly responsible for
this upturn. Inflation on point to point basis in June
2012 stood at 8.56 percent which was 10.49
percent in March 2011. From the trend analysis of
inflation in Bangladesh, it is clear that in the first
half of FY 2011- 2012 general inflation went up
because of food inflation. However, at the end of
FY2011-12, non-food inflation was the key factor in
pushing general inflation upward. At this point in
time, food inflation recorded to 7.08 (monthly rate,
point to point basis) percent from about 13.00
percent in the same month of FY2010-11.
Satisfactory food production and supply of
essential commodities including demand
management through Open Market Sale (OMS) of
the essential commodities and sufficient stock of
food grains contributed to the efforts of pulling
down food inflation. On the other hand, there was
a non-food inflationary pressure due to price hike
in international market, depreciation in exchange
rate and adjustment of oil price. In order to contain
inflation, the Government has undertaken
necessary steps by forging better coordination
between fiscal and monetary policies. Although
there was a pressure of oil price adjustment on
food price, it was transitory. It is expected that
actions like discouraging credit flows to
unproductive sector alongside adopting restrained
and effective monetary policy will reduce the
inflationary pressure.

Fiscal Situation
Revenue Earning
A target for revenue receipt was set at Tk.1,18,385
crore (12.94 percent of GDP) in FY 2011-12 of
which NBR tax revenue accounted for Tk. 91,870
crore (10.00 percent of GDP), non-NBR revenue,
Tk. 3,915 crore (0.40 percent of GDP) and non-tax
revenue Tk. 22,600 crore (2.47 percent of GDP).
Against these targets, tax revenue from NBR
sources stood at Tk. 91,597 crore while revenue
receipts from non-NBR source and non-tax
revenue receipts were Tk. 3,633 crore and Tk.
18,550 core respectively in FY 2011-12. Total
revenue receipts increased by 19.53 percent from
Tk. 95,188 crore in FY 2010-11 to Tk. 1,13,781
crore in FY 2011-12.
Monetary and Financial Sector
Following the global financial crisis, monetary
policy stance was accommodative in FY2010-11
which has been adjusted in FY 2011-12 consistent
with the changes in the global and domestic
economic scenario. The monetary policy of FY
2011-12 was formulated to maintain a restrained
money supply and credit growth to manage the
pressure arising from a number of factors including
the lagged effect of high domestic credit growth in
the previous year, high inflation transmitted
through global price hike of essential commodities
including food items and huge borrowing from
banking system to meet government expenditure.
The restrained monetary policy was adopted to
ensure continued support for adequate credit flows
to the productive and priority sectors including
agriculture and SME, while controlling money
supply and credit to unproductive sectors. To
downturn the inflation into a tolerable level
Bangladesh Bank has re-fixed the policy rate of
REPO and reverse REPO at 7.75 percent and 5.75
percent respectively by raising 225 points on 4
occasions.
Interest Rate
There was a maximum cap of 7.00 percent interest
rate on export credit fixed since January 10, 2004

to facilitate export earnings. Recently, the cap on
interest rate on lending in all sectors other than
pre-shipment export credit and agricultural loans
has been withdrawn. This has brought
competitiveness among banks in fixing rate of
interest on lending in a rational manner. Banks are
allowed to differentiate interest rate up to a
maximum of 3.00 percent considering comparative
risk elements involved among borrowers in the
same lending category which they would promptly
expose in their respective website and inform to
the Bangladesh Bank.
External Sector
Export
In the wake of the recovery from global financial
recession, the export trade of Bangladesh made a
turnaround. However, sovereign credit crisis in
eurozone which is one of Bangladeshs main
export destinations is having its impact on export
trade. The export earnings of Bangladesh stood at
US$ 24,288 million in FY 2011-12, which was 5.90
percent higher than the export earnings (US$
22,928 million) of FY 2010-11. Export earnings in
FY 2011-12 by major categories increased mainly
for footwear (30.10 percent), engineering products
(21.10 percent), woven garments (13.90 percent)
and leather (10.80 percent). On the other hand,
export earnings dipped in respect of raw jute
(-25.40 percent), ceramic product (-10.20 percent)
and jute goods (-7.50 percent). Some of the
facilities under the incentive package declared by
the Government are still continuing. Assistance for
the entrepreneurs tiled New Market Exploration
Assistance announced under the incentive
package is also being extended this year for
diversification of goods and exploration of new
export market. In the meantime, export markets
have been created in Japan, Korea, South Africa
and Turkey. Besides, due to reduction of duties by
India, Bangladeshi commodities are having gainful
access to India.
Import
The total import payments (C&F) stood at US$
35,516 million during FY 2011-12, which was 5.50

percent higher than the import payments of US$
33,657 million of the preceding year. Although
import payments increased at the beginning of this
fiscal year due to price hike of fuel in the global
market and higher demand of fuel for electricity
generation, it slowed down towards the end of the
year as import of unimportant goods were
discouraged. Analyzing the category of imported
goods, it is observed that, import payments for
industrial raw materials, petroleum and petroleum
products increased by 22.75 percent, 11.15
percent and 21.76 percent respectively, while
import of capital machinery and primary
commodities decreased by 13.73 percent and
25.79 percent respectively.
Overseas Employment and Remittance
Although export of manpower slowed down in the
first half of FY 2010-11 because of the impact of
global recession, particularly on the real estate
markets in the Middle East, and on industrial
labour demand in some South East Asian
economies such as Malaysia, it began to increase
from January 2011. The amount of remittances
increased by 6.03 percent to US$ 11,650.32
million in FY 2010-11 compared to that of the
previous year. Bangladesh earned remittances of
US$ 12,843.40 million in FY 2011-12 which was
10.24 percent higher than the amount of the
previous year. The Government has undertaken
several initiatives including diplomatic approaches
to explore new markets. As many as 6.91 lakh
workers went abroad in quest of jobs in FY
2011-12, which was 57.40 percent higher than the
number stood at in the previous year. To begin
manpower export in full swing to Africa, East
Europe and Latin America, a number of diplomatic
initiatives have been undertaken alongside
establishing new labour wings in several countries.
There is also an attempt to impart training on
various trades to create skilled labour force to
meet the demand of labour markets abroad.
Balance of Payment
Trade balance recorded a rise in deficit by 3.20
percent to US$ 7,995 million in the FY 2011-12 as
compared to the deficit of US$ 7,744 million during
FY 2010-11. During this period, the current

account balance recorded a surplus of US$ 1,630
million as compared to the surplus of US$ 885
million of FY 2010-11.The deficit recorded in the
overall balance of payment stood at US$ 494
million in FY 2011-12, which was US$ 656 million
in FY 2010-11.
Medium Term Prospect of Bangladesh Economy
In the current context of domestic and global
economic scenario, a Medium-Term
Macroeconomic Framework (MTMF) for FY
2012-2016 has been worked out based on some
fundamental assumptions. Just after the recovery of
the world economy from yearlong global recession
during 2008-09, devastating tsunami and
destruction of nuclear power plant in Japan, the
ongoing sovereign debt crisis in several eurozone
economies and continuing economic instability and
high unemployment in the USA, have slowed the
pace of the world economic growth significantly. As
a result, the global output decreased in 2011.
However, afterwards, an integrated policy and
strategies to overcome the eurozone crisis,
rebouncing of US economic growth and sustaining
the domestic demand in emerging and developing
economies, it was expected that global output
would increase in 2012.
Different macroeconomic indicators for the next
fiscal year and over the medium term have been
updated in view of continued satisfactory
performance in revenue collection, growth in
agriculture sector, investment in infrastructure
including power, exchange rate stability and
containment of inflationary pressure.
In the Medium Term Macroeconomic Framework,
real GDP growth has been estimated at 7.20
percent for FY 2012-13, 7.60 percent for FY
2013-14, 8.00 percent for FY 2014-15 and 9.10
percent for FY 2015-16 respectively. It is expected
that investment will increase from 25.40 percent of
GDP in FY 2011-12 to 33.70 percent in FY 2016-17
where private and public investment will stand at
25.20 percent and 8.50 percent respectively. On
the other hand, domestic savings is expected to
increase to 22.40 percent from 19.60 percent and
national savings will go up from 29.40 percent to
32.80 percent in the medium term.

Development of agriculture sector including that of
power, energy and communication sectors are
crucial for achieving the desired growth of GDP.
Undertaking initiatives as envisaged in the
roadmap for power, exploring new gas deposits to
meet existing energy demand and utilising
renewable energy will ensure investment-friendly
environment in power and energy sector. It is also
expected that infrastructure deficit will be removed
by reinvigorating public-Private Partnership (PPP)
initiatives in the development of communication
sector and efficient and timely implementation of
Annual Development Program. In order to ensure
proper implementation of projects to be taken up
under PPP, a scheme has been worked out and a
set of policies and guidelines have been approved
by the Government.
In agriculture sector, there was a consistent and
positive growth over the last three years. Huge
government support such as subsidy, power
supply for irrigation, flow of agricultural credit,
innovation of new variety of salinity tolerant seed
and weather, and increasing assistance to
agro-based industries contributed significantly in
achieving sustainable growth in agriculture sector.
All these activities will continue which is expected
to support sustainable agricultural growth.
The estimated government expenditure stood at
16.50 percent of GDP in FY 2011-12 which is
expected to be 18.40 percent in FY 2012-13. The
target for FY 2016-17 has been set at 20.60
percent of GDP. Against this, expenditure on
Annual Development Programme is planned to be
increased from 3.90 percent of GDP in FY 2011-12
to 7.00 percent of GDP in FY 2016-17.
For financing the deficit, Government has planned
to reduce borrowing from the banking system. In
this regard, priority has been given to foreign
assistance which were committed and in pipe line.
For consecutive two years, Standard and Poors
(S&P) and Moodys retained the same sovereign
credit rating for Bangladesh. In their respective
lists rating for Bangladesh is BB- and Ba3.
According to this rating, in terms of credit
worthiness, Bangladesh is at par with the
Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam. Such rating
will decrease the cost of debenture and import
payment and will help in attracting more foreign
investment.

Containing inflation is a big challenge for
macroeconomic stability. In MTMF, inflation has
forecasted to bring down at 7.50 percent in the
upcoming fiscal year and that is expected to bring
out almost 5.00 percent. It was expected that the
steps taken to increase food production,
uninterrupted food supply and enhance food
security would also be helpful in reining on
inflation. Bangladesh Bank in its monetary policy
statement has laid emphasis on limiting money
supply and discouraging credit flow to the
unproductive sectors. Side by side, emphasis is
also given to ensure credit flow to productive and
priority sectors including agriculture and SME
sectors.
Financial recession in eurozone economies, one of
the major export markets of Bangladesh, has
affected its export sector slowing it down to 6.20
percent in FY 2011-12. However, it has been
possible to tackle the crisis through integrated
efforts of euro countries. Besides, initiatives on
exploring new markets and diversification of export
goods have already contributed to our economy,
though to a limited extent.
The remittances from expatriate Bangladeshi
workers grew by 10.24 percent during this year
which has been estimated to be 12.00 percent for
next years. It is expected that concerted efforts on
exploring new labour markets and intensive
diplomatic initiatives will increase expatriate
employment and contribute towards sustaining the
existing trends of remittance of flows. The current
account balance (CAB) decreased but in MTMF it
is expected to bring back in a positive territory.
Pressures on exchange rate and foreign exchange
reserve have been offset due to adoption of
effective fiscal and monetary policy stances. Both
the exchange rate and reserve situation remained
stable at the end of FY 2011-12. The goal of
maintaining macroeconomic stability together with
expected GDP growth and target of inflation will be
achieved if the future shocks from domestic as well
as external sectors could be tackled properly.
Digital Bangladesh
Its true meaning lies in proper application of
technology to implement all the commitments of

the government regarding education, health,
employment and poverty alleviation. The main
purpose of this idea is to improve the standards of
living of the people by empowering them, ensuring
transparency and accountability in all spheres of
life, establishing good-governance and, above all,
bringing public services to their doorsteps through
the most effective use of technology. In short,
Digital Bangladesh is a happy prosperous and
enlightened Bangladesh, which is free from
hunger, poverty, inequality and corruption and
belongs completely to its people and is driven
forward by digital technology.
Perspective Plan 2010-2021
The Government keeping in view the Golden
Jubilee of Independence has formulated
Bangladesh Perspective Planning 2010-2021,
in the light of Vision-2021 to attain a definite set of
objectives that relate to economic and social
development of Bangladesh. The document
reflects the hopes and aspirations of common
people which has been given the top priority and
incorporates the development philosophy of the
government, its longterm vision and strategic goals
of desired development. The fundamental
objective of this long term plan is to alleviate
poverty by achieving higher growth and to turn
Bangladesh into a medium income country where
poverty will be brought to the minimum and
regional disparity in the sphere of economic
development will be reduced significantly.

percent in 2011 to 1.30 percent in 2012 but is
expected to rise to 1.50 percent in 2013. It has
been forecasted for eurozone to have sluggish
growth of -0.40 percent in 2012 which was 1.40
percent in 2011 and is expected to grow to 0.20
percent in 2013.
On the other hand, according to Asian
Development Outlook, October 2012, the dimming
global growth prospects and soft domestic
demand in the regions two largest economies are
slowing the pace of developing Asias expansion.
Growth was estimated to slide from 7.20 percent in
2011 to 6.10 percent in 2012, which was expected
to bounce back to register 6.70 percent growth in
2013.
Impressive Track Record of Bangladesh
Economy
Bangladeshs track record of achievements, in
different sectors and according to various
performance indicators, bear evidence that she is
making impressive and encouraging progress
towards attaining her goal of being a middle
income country by 2021. Bangladesh was able to
accelerate her GDP growth from under 4.00
percent per year to over 6.00 percent within a span
of two decades. Our country has been able to
make commendable transition from a
predominantly aid-dependent economy to a
trading nation. The combined net foreign
exchange earnings from export of goods and
remittance are at present about fifteen times more
than the aid we receive annually.
Bangladesh has established herself as the second
largest exporter of apparels in the world, after
China; our shipbuilding, footwear, pharmaceuticals
and other non-traditional exports are showing
encouraging signs. Our farmers have increased
food grains production by more than three fold
since independence enabling Bangladesh to more
towards food security. Our economy has been able
to demonstrate impressive resilience in the face of
multiple global and financial crisis. Bangladeshs
track record in attaining key Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) including in the areas
of poverty alleviation, gender parity, and access to

Directors Report
to the Shareholders
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
Respected Shareholders
Assalamu Alaikum
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am indeed
delighted to present before you the sixth Annual
Report of Agrani Bank Limited. The report
evaluates and analyzes banks overall operational
performance of 2012 compared to that of 2011. I
would request you to read the information and
analyses in conjunction with the audited financial
statements presented herewith. The report also
presents an overview of the global economic
scenario and the performance of Bangladesh
Economy to put in perspective the banks
performance.
Global Economic Scenario
Immediately after the recovery from economic
crisis in 2010, the global economy is again facing
challenges as the recession re-emerged in the first
half of FY 2011-12 due to sovereign debt crisis in
several euro-zone economies and economic
instability in the USA. However, steps taken to
reinvigorate the USA economy and joint efforts to
protect euro economies from further effect of
recession have slightly watered down the effect in
the second half of 2011. Despite some
deceleration in the growth of the developed
economies and slight slowdown in economic
growth of emerging and developing countries
compared to the growth momentum in 2011;
economic growth of emerging and developing
countries remains fairly strong.
According to World Economic Outlook (WEO),
October 2012 of IMF, despite that the world
economic growth slowed to 3.30 percent in 2012
from 3.80 percent in 2011, it is projected to rise to
3.60 percent in 2013. Growth of high income
countries would deteriorate further from 1.60

health and education has received high global
acclaim.
These aforesaid achievements were possible
through a combination of factors: supportive
government policies and targeted resource
allocation; the hard work of farmers and workers at
home and abroad, contribution of the private
sector and our vibrant entrepreneurial class,
proactive role of our non-government actors
including in areas of disbursement of micro-credit,
development of micro-enterprises and raising
consciousness about economic and social issues;
target support provided by development partners.
Macroeconomic Scenario of Bangladesh
Economic Growth
Although the growth of Bangladesh economy
slowed down in the context of negative growth in
world trade at the beginning of the global financial
crisis in FY 2008-09, next year this growth
bounced back and average growth remained
above 6.00 percent in the last three years.
According to BBS, GDP grew to 6.71 percent in FY
2010-11 and the estimated GDP growth rate for FY
2011-12 is 6.32 percent. However, because of high
base effect induced by more than 5.00 percent
growth in agriculture sector during the last two
years, the growth of FY 2011-12 dipped a little
which is still satisfactory. Alongside, substantial
growth in industry and service sector has
contributed to overall GDP growth. In FY2011-12,
growth in agriculture, industry and service sectors
have estimated to 2.53 percent, 9.47 percent and
6.06 percent respectively. This year GDP and GNI
per capita stood at US$ 772 and US$ 848 which
were US$ 748 and US$ 816 respectively in the last
fiscal year.
Savings and Investment
Estimated domestic savings slightly increased
from 19.30 percent of GDP in FY 2010-11 to 19.40
percent of GDP in FY 2011-12. Investment in FY
2011-12 also showed similar feature with a slight
increase and stood at 25.40 percent of GDP in FY
2011-12 from 25.20 percent of GDP in FY2010-11.
Of which the share of private investment stood at
19.10 percent of GDP while that of public
investment was 6.30 percent in FY 2011-12. In FY

2010-11, the private and the public sector investments
were 19.50 percent and 5.60 percent of GDP
respectively. Major initiatives of the Government
implemented in infrastructure sector including power
and reduction in cost of doing business helped create
investment-friendly environment. In addition to this,
because of satisfactory growth of remittances, national
savings in FY 2011-12 upturned to 29.40 percent of GDP
from 28.80 percent of GDP in the previous year.
Inflation
The 12 month average inflation rate reached to
10.62 percent in FY 2011-12 which was 8.80
percent in FY2010-11. Oil and food inflation in
global market and excessive credit flows to
unproductive sectors were mainly responsible for
this upturn. Inflation on point to point basis in June
2012 stood at 8.56 percent which was 10.49
percent in March 2011. From the trend analysis of
inflation in Bangladesh, it is clear that in the first
half of FY 2011- 2012 general inflation went up
because of food inflation. However, at the end of
FY2011-12, non-food inflation was the key factor in
pushing general inflation upward. At this point in
time, food inflation recorded to 7.08 (monthly rate,
point to point basis) percent from about 13.00
percent in the same month of FY2010-11.
Satisfactory food production and supply of
essential commodities including demand
management through Open Market Sale (OMS) of
the essential commodities and sufficient stock of
food grains contributed to the efforts of pulling
down food inflation. On the other hand, there was
a non-food inflationary pressure due to price hike
in international market, depreciation in exchange
rate and adjustment of oil price. In order to contain
inflation, the Government has undertaken
necessary steps by forging better coordination
between fiscal and monetary policies. Although
there was a pressure of oil price adjustment on
food price, it was transitory. It is expected that
actions like discouraging credit flows to
unproductive sector alongside adopting restrained

inflationary pressure.

Fiscal Situation
Revenue Earning
A target for revenue receipt was set at Tk.1,18,385
crore (12.94 percent of GDP) in FY 2011-12 of
which NBR tax revenue accounted for Tk. 91,870
crore (10.00 percent of GDP), non-NBR revenue,
Tk. 3,915 crore (0.40 percent of GDP) and non-tax
revenue Tk. 22,600 crore (2.47 percent of GDP).
Against these targets, tax revenue from NBR
sources stood at Tk. 91,597 crore while revenue
receipts from non-NBR source and non-tax
revenue receipts were Tk. 3,633 crore and Tk.
18,550 core respectively in FY 2011-12. Total
revenue receipts increased by 19.53 percent from
Tk. 95,188 crore in FY 2010-11 to Tk. 1,13,781
crore in FY 2011-12.
Monetary and Financial Sector
Following the global financial crisis, monetary
policy stance was accommodative in FY2010-11
which has been adjusted in FY 2011-12 consistent
with the changes in the global and domestic
economic scenario. The monetary policy of FY
2011-12 was formulated to maintain a restrained
money supply and credit growth to manage the
pressure arising from a number of factors including
the lagged effect of high domestic credit growth in
the previous year, high inflation transmitted
through global price hike of essential commodities
including food items and huge borrowing from
banking system to meet government expenditure.
The restrained monetary policy was adopted to
ensure continued support for adequate credit flows
to the productive and priority sectors including
agriculture and SME, while controlling money
supply and credit to unproductive sectors. To
downturn the inflation into a tolerable level
Bangladesh Bank has re-fixed the policy rate of
REPO and reverse REPO at 7.75 percent and 5.75
percent respectively by raising 225 points on 4
occasions.
Interest Rate
There was a maximum cap of 7.00 percent interest
rate on export credit fixed since January 10, 2004

to facilitate export earnings. Recently, the cap on
interest rate on lending in all sectors other than
pre-shipment export credit and agricultural loans
has been withdrawn. This has brought
competitiveness among banks in fixing rate of
interest on lending in a rational manner. Banks are
allowed to differentiate interest rate up to a
maximum of 3.00 percent considering comparative
risk elements involved among borrowers in the
same lending category which they would promptly
expose in their respective website and inform to
the Bangladesh Bank.
External Sector
Export
In the wake of the recovery from global financial
recession, the export trade of Bangladesh made a
turnaround. However, sovereign credit crisis in
eurozone which is one of Bangladeshs main
export destinations is having its impact on export
trade. The export earnings of Bangladesh stood at
US$ 24,288 million in FY 2011-12, which was 5.90
percent higher than the export earnings (US$
22,928 million) of FY 2010-11. Export earnings in
FY 2011-12 by major categories increased mainly
for footwear (30.10 percent), engineering products
(21.10 percent), woven garments (13.90 percent)
and leather (10.80 percent). On the other hand,
export earnings dipped in respect of raw jute
(-25.40 percent), ceramic product (-10.20 percent)
and jute goods (-7.50 percent). Some of the
facilities under the incentive package declared by
the Government are still continuing. Assistance for
the entrepreneurs tiled New Market Exploration
Assistance announced under the incentive
package is also being extended this year for
diversification of goods and exploration of new
export market. In the meantime, export markets
have been created in Japan, Korea, South Africa
and Turkey. Besides, due to reduction of duties by
India, Bangladeshi commodities are having gainful
access to India.
Import
The total import payments (C&F) stood at US$
35,516 million during FY 2011-12, which was 5.50

percent higher than the import payments of US$
33,657 million of the preceding year. Although
import payments increased at the beginning of this
fiscal year due to price hike of fuel in the global
market and higher demand of fuel for electricity
generation, it slowed down towards the end of the
year as import of unimportant goods were
discouraged. Analyzing the category of imported
goods, it is observed that, import payments for
industrial raw materials, petroleum and petroleum
products increased by 22.75 percent, 11.15
percent and 21.76 percent respectively, while
import of capital machinery and primary
commodities decreased by 13.73 percent and
25.79 percent respectively.
Overseas Employment and Remittance
Although export of manpower slowed down in the
first half of FY 2010-11 because of the impact of
global recession, particularly on the real estate
markets in the Middle East, and on industrial
labour demand in some South East Asian
economies such as Malaysia, it began to increase
from January 2011. The amount of remittances
increased by 6.03 percent to US$ 11,650.32
million in FY 2010-11 compared to that of the
previous year. Bangladesh earned remittances of
US$ 12,843.40 million in FY 2011-12 which was
10.24 percent higher than the amount of the
previous year. The Government has undertaken
several initiatives including diplomatic approaches
to explore new markets. As many as 6.91 lakh
workers went abroad in quest of jobs in FY
2011-12, which was 57.40 percent higher than the
number stood at in the previous year. To begin
manpower export in full swing to Africa, East
Europe and Latin America, a number of diplomatic
initiatives have been undertaken alongside
establishing new labour wings in several countries.
There is also an attempt to impart training on
various trades to create skilled labour force to
meet the demand of labour markets abroad.
Balance of Payment
Trade balance recorded a rise in deficit by 3.20
percent to US$ 7,995 million in the FY 2011-12 as
compared to the deficit of US$ 7,744 million during
FY 2010-11. During this period, the current

Medium Term Prospect of Bangladesh Economy
In the current context of domestic and global
economic scenario, a Medium-Term
Macroeconomic Framework (MTMF) for FY
2012-2016 has been worked out based on some
fundamental assumptions. Just after the recovery of
the world economy from yearlong global recession
during 2008-09, devastating tsunami and
destruction of nuclear power plant in Japan, the
ongoing sovereign debt crisis in several eurozone
economies and continuing economic instability and
high unemployment in the USA, have slowed the
pace of the world economic growth significantly. As
a result, the global output decreased in 2011.
However, afterwards, an integrated policy and
strategies to overcome the eurozone crisis,
rebouncing of US economic growth and sustaining
the domestic demand in emerging and developing
economies, it was expected that global output
would increase in 2012.
Different macroeconomic indicators for the next
fiscal year and over the medium term have been
updated in view of continued satisfactory
performance in revenue collection, growth in
agriculture sector, investment in infrastructure
including power, exchange rate stability and
containment of inflationary pressure.
In the Medium Term Macroeconomic Framework,
real GDP growth has been estimated at 7.20
percent for FY 2012-13, 7.60 percent for FY
2013-14, 8.00 percent for FY 2014-15 and 9.10
percent for FY 2015-16 respectively. It is expected
that investment will increase from 25.40 percent of
GDP in FY 2011-12 to 33.70 percent in FY 2016-17
where private and public investment will stand at
25.20 percent and 8.50 percent respectively. On
the other hand, domestic savings is expected to
increase to 22.40 percent from 19.60 percent and
national savings will go up from 29.40 percent to
32.80 percent in the medium term.

Development of agriculture sector including that of
power, energy and communication sectors are
crucial for achieving the desired growth of GDP.
Undertaking initiatives as envisaged in the
roadmap for power, exploring new gas deposits to
meet existing energy demand and utilising
renewable energy will ensure investment-friendly
environment in power and energy sector. It is also
expected that infrastructure deficit will be removed
by reinvigorating public-Private Partnership (PPP)
initiatives in the development of communication
sector and efficient and timely implementation of
Annual Development Program. In order to ensure
proper implementation of projects to be taken up
under PPP, a scheme has been worked out and a
set of policies and guidelines have been approved
by the Government.
In agriculture sector, there was a consistent and
positive growth over the last three years. Huge
government support such as subsidy, power
supply for irrigation, flow of agricultural credit,
innovation of new variety of salinity tolerant seed
and weather, and increasing assistance to
agro-based industries contributed significantly in
achieving sustainable growth in agriculture sector.
All these activities will continue which is expected
to support sustainable agricultural growth.
The estimated government expenditure stood at
16.50 percent of GDP in FY 2011-12 which is
expected to be 18.40 percent in FY 2012-13. The
target for FY 2016-17 has been set at 20.60
percent of GDP. Against this, expenditure on
Annual Development Programme is planned to be
increased from 3.90 percent of GDP in FY 2011-12
to 7.00 percent of GDP in FY 2016-17.
For financing the deficit, Government has planned
to reduce borrowing from the banking system. In
this regard, priority has been given to foreign
assistance which were committed and in pipe line.
For consecutive two years, Standard and Poors
(S&P) and Moodys retained the same sovereign
credit rating for Bangladesh. In their respective
lists rating for Bangladesh is BB- and Ba3.
According to this rating, in terms of credit
worthiness, Bangladesh is at par with the
Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam. Such rating
will decrease the cost of debenture and import
payment and will help in attracting more foreign
investment.

Containing inflation is a big challenge for
macroeconomic stability. In MTMF, inflation has
forecasted to bring down at 7.50 percent in the
upcoming fiscal year and that is expected to bring
out almost 5.00 percent. It was expected that the
steps taken to increase food production,
uninterrupted food supply and enhance food
security would also be helpful in reining on
inflation. Bangladesh Bank in its monetary policy
statement has laid emphasis on limiting money
supply and discouraging credit flow to the
unproductive sectors. Side by side, emphasis is
also given to ensure credit flow to productive and
priority sectors including agriculture and SME
sectors.
Financial recession in eurozone economies, one of
the major export markets of Bangladesh, has
affected its export sector slowing it down to 6.20
percent in FY 2011-12. However, it has been
possible to tackle the crisis through integrated
efforts of euro countries. Besides, initiatives on
exploring new markets and diversification of export
goods have already contributed to our economy,
though to a limited extent.
The remittances from expatriate Bangladeshi
workers grew by 10.24 percent during this year
which has been estimated to be 12.00 percent for
next years. It is expected that concerted efforts on
exploring new labour markets and intensive
diplomatic initiatives will increase expatriate
employment and contribute towards sustaining the
existing trends of remittance of flows. The current
account balance (CAB) decreased but in MTMF it
is expected to bring back in a positive territory.
Pressures on exchange rate and foreign exchange
reserve have been offset due to adoption of
effective fiscal and monetary policy stances. Both
the exchange rate and reserve situation remained
stable at the end of FY 2011-12. The goal of
maintaining macroeconomic stability together with
expected GDP growth and target of inflation will be
achieved if the future shocks from domestic as well
as external sectors could be tackled properly.

Its true meaning lies in proper application of
technology to implement all the commitments of

the government regarding education, health,
employment and poverty alleviation. The main
purpose of this idea is to improve the standards of
living of the people by empowering them, ensuring
transparency and accountability in all spheres of
life, establishing good-governance and, above all,
bringing public services to their doorsteps through
the most effective use of technology. In short,
Digital Bangladesh is a happy prosperous and
enlightened Bangladesh, which is free from
hunger, poverty, inequality and corruption and
belongs completely to its people and is driven
forward by digital technology.
Perspective Plan 2010-2021
The Government keeping in view the Golden
Jubilee of Independence has formulated
Bangladesh Perspective Planning 2010-2021,
in the light of Vision-2021 to attain a definite set of
objectives that relate to economic and social
development of Bangladesh. The document
reflects the hopes and aspirations of common
people which has been given the top priority and
incorporates the development philosophy of the
government, its longterm vision and strategic goals
of desired development. The fundamental
objective of this long term plan is to alleviate
poverty by achieving higher growth and to turn
Bangladesh into a medium income country where
poverty will be brought to the minimum and
regional disparity in the sphere of economic
development will be reduced significantly.

percent in 2011 to 1.30 percent in 2012 but is
expected to rise to 1.50 percent in 2013. It has
been forecasted for eurozone to have sluggish
growth of -0.40 percent in 2012 which was 1.40
percent in 2011 and is expected to grow to 0.20
percent in 2013.
On the other hand, according to Asian
Development Outlook, October 2012, the dimming
global growth prospects and soft domestic
demand in the regions two largest economies are
slowing the pace of developing Asias expansion.
Growth was estimated to slide from 7.20 percent in
2011 to 6.10 percent in 2012, which was expected
to bounce back to register 6.70 percent growth in
2013.
Impressive Track Record of Bangladesh
Economy
Bangladeshs track record of achievements, in
different sectors and according to various
performance indicators, bear evidence that she is
making impressive and encouraging progress
towards attaining her goal of being a middle
income country by 2021. Bangladesh was able to
accelerate her GDP growth from under 4.00
percent per year to over 6.00 percent within a span
of two decades. Our country has been able to
make commendable transition from a
predominantly aid-dependent economy to a
trading nation. The combined net foreign
exchange earnings from export of goods and
remittance are at present about fifteen times more
than the aid we receive annually.
Bangladesh has established herself as the second
largest exporter of apparels in the world, after
China; our shipbuilding, footwear, pharmaceuticals
and other non-traditional exports are showing
encouraging signs. Our farmers have increased
food grains production by more than three fold
since independence enabling Bangladesh to more
towards food security. Our economy has been able
to demonstrate impressive resilience in the face of
multiple global and financial crisis. Bangladeshs
track record in attaining key Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) including in the areas
of poverty alleviation, gender parity, and access to

Directors Report
to the Shareholders
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
Respected Shareholders
Assalamu Alaikum
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am indeed
delighted to present before you the sixth Annual
Report of Agrani Bank Limited. The report
evaluates and analyzes banks overall operational
performance of 2012 compared to that of 2011. I
would request you to read the information and
analyses in conjunction with the audited financial
statements presented herewith. The report also
presents an overview of the global economic
scenario and the performance of Bangladesh
Economy to put in perspective the banks
performance.
Global Economic Scenario
Immediately after the recovery from economic
crisis in 2010, the global economy is again facing
challenges as the recession re-emerged in the first
half of FY 2011-12 due to sovereign debt crisis in
several euro-zone economies and economic
instability in the USA. However, steps taken to
reinvigorate the USA economy and joint efforts to
protect euro economies from further effect of
recession have slightly watered down the effect in
the second half of 2011. Despite some
deceleration in the growth of the developed
economies and slight slowdown in economic
growth of emerging and developing countries
compared to the growth momentum in 2011;
economic growth of emerging and developing
countries remains fairly strong.
According to World Economic Outlook (WEO),
October 2012 of IMF, despite that the world
economic growth slowed to 3.30 percent in 2012
from 3.80 percent in 2011, it is projected to rise to
3.60 percent in 2013. Growth of high income
countries would deteriorate further from 1.60

health and education has received high global
acclaim.
These aforesaid achievements were possible
through a combination of factors: supportive
government policies and targeted resource
allocation; the hard work of farmers and workers at
home and abroad, contribution of the private
sector and our vibrant entrepreneurial class,
proactive role of our non-government actors
including in areas of disbursement of micro-credit,
development of micro-enterprises and raising
consciousness about economic and social issues;
target support provided by development partners.
Macroeconomic Scenario of Bangladesh
Economic Growth
Although the growth of Bangladesh economy
slowed down in the context of negative growth in
world trade at the beginning of the global financial
crisis in FY 2008-09, next year this growth
bounced back and average growth remained
above 6.00 percent in the last three years.
According to BBS, GDP grew to 6.71 percent in FY
2010-11 and the estimated GDP growth rate for FY
2011-12 is 6.32 percent. However, because of high
base effect induced by more than 5.00 percent
growth in agriculture sector during the last two
years, the growth of FY 2011-12 dipped a little
which is still satisfactory. Alongside, substantial
growth in industry and service sector has
contributed to overall GDP growth. In FY2011-12,
growth in agriculture, industry and service sectors
have estimated to 2.53 percent, 9.47 percent and
6.06 percent respectively. This year GDP and GNI
per capita stood at US$ 772 and US$ 848 which
were US$ 748 and US$ 816 respectively in the last
fiscal year.
Savings and Investment
Estimated domestic savings slightly increased
from 19.30 percent of GDP in FY 2010-11 to 19.40
percent of GDP in FY 2011-12. Investment in FY
2011-12 also showed similar feature with a slight
increase and stood at 25.40 percent of GDP in FY
2011-12 from 25.20 percent of GDP in FY2010-11.
Of which the share of private investment stood at
19.10 percent of GDP while that of public
investment was 6.30 percent in FY 2011-12. In FY

2010-11, the private and the public sector investments
were 19.50 percent and 5.60 percent of GDP
respectively. Major initiatives of the Government
implemented in infrastructure sector including power
and reduction in cost of doing business helped create
investment-friendly environment. In addition to this,
because of satisfactory growth of remittances, national
savings in FY 2011-12 upturned to 29.40 percent of GDP
from 28.80 percent of GDP in the previous year.
Inflation
The 12 month average inflation rate reached to
10.62 percent in FY 2011-12 which was 8.80
percent in FY2010-11. Oil and food inflation in
global market and excessive credit flows to
unproductive sectors were mainly responsible for
this upturn. Inflation on point to point basis in June
2012 stood at 8.56 percent which was 10.49
percent in March 2011. From the trend analysis of
inflation in Bangladesh, it is clear that in the first
half of FY 2011- 2012 general inflation went up
because of food inflation. However, at the end of
FY2011-12, non-food inflation was the key factor in
pushing general inflation upward. At this point in
time, food inflation recorded to 7.08 (monthly rate,
point to point basis) percent from about 13.00
percent in the same month of FY2010-11.
Satisfactory food production and supply of
essential commodities including demand
management through Open Market Sale (OMS) of
the essential commodities and sufficient stock of
food grains contributed to the efforts of pulling
down food inflation. On the other hand, there was
a non-food inflationary pressure due to price hike
in international market, depreciation in exchange
rate and adjustment of oil price. In order to contain
inflation, the Government has undertaken
necessary steps by forging better coordination
between fiscal and monetary policies. Although
there was a pressure of oil price adjustment on
food price, it was transitory. It is expected that
actions like discouraging credit flows to
unproductive sector alongside adopting restrained
and effective monetary policy will reduce the
inflationary pressure.

Fiscal Situation
Revenue Earning
A target for revenue receipt was set at Tk.1,18,385
crore (12.94 percent of GDP) in FY 2011-12 of
which NBR tax revenue accounted for Tk. 91,870
crore (10.00 percent of GDP), non-NBR revenue,
Tk. 3,915 crore (0.40 percent of GDP) and non-tax
revenue Tk. 22,600 crore (2.47 percent of GDP).
Against these targets, tax revenue from NBR
sources stood at Tk. 91,597 crore while revenue
receipts from non-NBR source and non-tax
revenue receipts were Tk. 3,633 crore and Tk.
18,550 core respectively in FY 2011-12. Total
revenue receipts increased by 19.53 percent from
Tk. 95,188 crore in FY 2010-11 to Tk. 1,13,781
crore in FY 2011-12.
Monetary and Financial Sector
Following the global financial crisis, monetary
policy stance was accommodative in FY2010-11
which has been adjusted in FY 2011-12 consistent
with the changes in the global and domestic
economic scenario. The monetary policy of FY
2011-12 was formulated to maintain a restrained
money supply and credit growth to manage the
pressure arising from a number of factors including
the lagged effect of high domestic credit growth in
the previous year, high inflation transmitted
through global price hike of essential commodities
including food items and huge borrowing from
banking system to meet government expenditure.
The restrained monetary policy was adopted to
ensure continued support for adequate credit flows
to the productive and priority sectors including
agriculture and SME, while controlling money
supply and credit to unproductive sectors. To
downturn the inflation into a tolerable level
Bangladesh Bank has re-fixed the policy rate of
REPO and reverse REPO at 7.75 percent and 5.75
percent respectively by raising 225 points on 4
occasions.
Interest Rate
There was a maximum cap of 7.00 percent interest
rate on export credit fixed since January 10, 2004

to facilitate export earnings. Recently, the cap on
interest rate on lending in all sectors other than
pre-shipment export credit and agricultural loans
has been withdrawn. This has brought
competitiveness among banks in fixing rate of
interest on lending in a rational manner. Banks are
allowed to differentiate interest rate up to a
maximum of 3.00 percent considering comparative
risk elements involved among borrowers in the
same lending category which they would promptly
expose in their respective website and inform to
the Bangladesh Bank.
External Sector
Export
In the wake of the recovery from global financial
recession, the export trade of Bangladesh made a
turnaround. However, sovereign credit crisis in
eurozone which is one of Bangladeshs main
export destinations is having its impact on export
trade. The export earnings of Bangladesh stood at
US$ 24,288 million in FY 2011-12, which was 5.90
percent higher than the export earnings (US$
22,928 million) of FY 2010-11. Export earnings in
FY 2011-12 by major categories increased mainly
for footwear (30.10 percent), engineering products
(21.10 percent), woven garments (13.90 percent)
and leather (10.80 percent). On the other hand,
export earnings dipped in respect of raw jute
(-25.40 percent), ceramic product (-10.20 percent)
and jute goods (-7.50 percent). Some of the
facilities under the incentive package declared by
the Government are still continuing. Assistance for
the entrepreneurs tiled New Market Exploration
Assistance announced under the incentive
package is also being extended this year for
diversification of goods and exploration of new
export market. In the meantime, export markets
have been created in Japan, Korea, South Africa
and Turkey. Besides, due to reduction of duties by
India, Bangladeshi commodities are having gainful
access to India.
Import
The total import payments (C&F) stood at US$
35,516 million during FY 2011-12, which was 5.50

percent higher than the import payments of US$
33,657 million of the preceding year. Although
import payments increased at the beginning of this
fiscal year due to price hike of fuel in the global
market and higher demand of fuel for electricity
generation, it slowed down towards the end of the
year as import of unimportant goods were
discouraged. Analyzing the category of imported
goods, it is observed that, import payments for
industrial raw materials, petroleum and petroleum
products increased by 22.75 percent, 11.15
percent and 21.76 percent respectively, while
import of capital machinery and primary
commodities decreased by 13.73 percent and
25.79 percent respectively.
Overseas Employment and Remittance
Although export of manpower slowed down in the
first half of FY 2010-11 because of the impact of
global recession, particularly on the real estate
markets in the Middle East, and on industrial
labour demand in some South East Asian
economies such as Malaysia, it began to increase
from January 2011. The amount of remittances
increased by 6.03 percent to US$ 11,650.32
million in FY 2010-11 compared to that of the
previous year. Bangladesh earned remittances of
US$ 12,843.40 million in FY 2011-12 which was
10.24 percent higher than the amount of the
previous year. The Government has undertaken
several initiatives including diplomatic approaches
to explore new markets. As many as 6.91 lakh
workers went abroad in quest of jobs in FY
2011-12, which was 57.40 percent higher than the
number stood at in the previous year. To begin
manpower export in full swing to Africa, East
Europe and Latin America, a number of diplomatic
initiatives have been undertaken alongside
establishing new labour wings in several countries.
There is also an attempt to impart training on
various trades to create skilled labour force to
meet the demand of labour markets abroad.
Balance of Payment
Trade balance recorded a rise in deficit by 3.20
percent to US$ 7,995 million in the FY 2011-12 as
compared to the deficit of US$ 7,744 million during
FY 2010-11. During this period, the current

overall balance of payment stood at US$ 494
million in FY 2011-12, which was US$ 656 million
in FY 2010-11.
Medium Term Prospect of Bangladesh Economy
In the current context of domestic and global
economic scenario, a Medium-Term
Macroeconomic Framework (MTMF) for FY
2012-2016 has been worked out based on some
fundamental assumptions. Just after the recovery of
the world economy from yearlong global recession
during 2008-09, devastating tsunami and
destruction of nuclear power plant in Japan, the
ongoing sovereign debt crisis in several eurozone
economies and continuing economic instability and
high unemployment in the USA, have slowed the
pace of the world economic growth significantly. As
a result, the global output decreased in 2011.
However, afterwards, an integrated policy and
strategies to overcome the eurozone crisis,
rebouncing of US economic growth and sustaining
the domestic demand in emerging and developing
economies, it was expected that global output
would increase in 2012.
Different macroeconomic indicators for the next
fiscal year and over the medium term have been
updated in view of continued satisfactory
performance in revenue collection, growth in
agriculture sector, investment in infrastructure
including power, exchange rate stability and
containment of inflationary pressure.
In the Medium Term Macroeconomic Framework,
real GDP growth has been estimated at 7.20
percent for FY 2012-13, 7.60 percent for FY
2013-14, 8.00 percent for FY 2014-15 and 9.10
percent for FY 2015-16 respectively. It is expected
that investment will increase from 25.40 percent of
GDP in FY 2011-12 to 33.70 percent in FY 2016-17
where private and public investment will stand at
25.20 percent and 8.50 percent respectively. On
the other hand, domestic savings is expected to
increase to 22.40 percent from 19.60 percent and
national savings will go up from 29.40 percent to
32.80 percent in the medium term.

Development of agriculture sector including that of
power, energy and communication sectors are
crucial for achieving the desired growth of GDP.
Undertaking initiatives as envisaged in the
roadmap for power, exploring new gas deposits to
meet existing energy demand and utilising
renewable energy will ensure investment-friendly
environment in power and energy sector. It is also
expected that infrastructure deficit will be removed
by reinvigorating public-Private Partnership (PPP)
initiatives in the development of communication
sector and efficient and timely implementation of
Annual Development Program. In order to ensure
proper implementation of projects to be taken up
under PPP, a scheme has been worked out and a
set of policies and guidelines have been approved
by the Government.
In agriculture sector, there was a consistent and
positive growth over the last three years. Huge
government support such as subsidy, power
supply for irrigation, flow of agricultural credit,
innovation of new variety of salinity tolerant seed
and weather, and increasing assistance to
agro-based industries contributed significantly in
achieving sustainable growth in agriculture sector.
All these activities will continue which is expected
to support sustainable agricultural growth.
The estimated government expenditure stood at
16.50 percent of GDP in FY 2011-12 which is
expected to be 18.40 percent in FY 2012-13. The
target for FY 2016-17 has been set at 20.60
percent of GDP. Against this, expenditure on
Annual Development Programme is planned to be
increased from 3.90 percent of GDP in FY 2011-12
to 7.00 percent of GDP in FY 2016-17.
For financing the deficit, Government has planned
to reduce borrowing from the banking system. In
this regard, priority has been given to foreign
assistance which were committed and in pipe line.
For consecutive two years, Standard and Poors
(S&P) and Moodys retained the same sovereign
credit rating for Bangladesh. In their respective
lists rating for Bangladesh is BB- and Ba3.
According to this rating, in terms of credit
worthiness, Bangladesh is at par with the
Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam. Such rating
will decrease the cost of debenture and import
payment and will help in attracting more foreign
investment.

Containing inflation is a big challenge for
macroeconomic stability. In MTMF, inflation has
forecasted to bring down at 7.50 percent in the
upcoming fiscal year and that is expected to bring
out almost 5.00 percent. It was expected that the
steps taken to increase food production,
uninterrupted food supply and enhance food
security would also be helpful in reining on
inflation. Bangladesh Bank in its monetary policy
statement has laid emphasis on limiting money
supply and discouraging credit flow to the
unproductive sectors. Side by side, emphasis is
also given to ensure credit flow to productive and
priority sectors including agriculture and SME
sectors.
Financial recession in eurozone economies, one of
the major export markets of Bangladesh, has
affected its export sector slowing it down to 6.20
percent in FY 2011-12. However, it has been
possible to tackle the crisis through integrated
efforts of euro countries. Besides, initiatives on
exploring new markets and diversification of export
goods have already contributed to our economy,
though to a limited extent.
The remittances from expatriate Bangladeshi
workers grew by 10.24 percent during this year
which has been estimated to be 12.00 percent for
next years. It is expected that concerted efforts on
exploring new labour markets and intensive
diplomatic initiatives will increase expatriate
employment and contribute towards sustaining the
existing trends of remittance of flows. The current
account balance (CAB) decreased but in MTMF it
is expected to bring back in a positive territory.
Pressures on exchange rate and foreign exchange
reserve have been offset due to adoption of
effective fiscal and monetary policy stances. Both
the exchange rate and reserve situation remained
stable at the end of FY 2011-12. The goal of
maintaining macroeconomic stability together with
expected GDP growth and target of inflation will be
achieved if the future shocks from domestic as well
as external sectors could be tackled properly.
Digital Bangladesh
Its true meaning lies in proper application of
technology to implement all the commitments of

the government regarding education, health,
employment and poverty alleviation. The main
purpose of this idea is to improve the standards of
living of the people by empowering them, ensuring
transparency and accountability in all spheres of
life, establishing good-governance and, above all,
bringing public services to their doorsteps through
the most effective use of technology. In short,
Digital Bangladesh is a happy prosperous and
enlightened Bangladesh, which is free from
hunger, poverty, inequality and corruption and
belongs completely to its people and is driven
forward by digital technology.
Perspective Plan 2010-2021
The Government keeping in view the Golden
Jubilee of Independence has formulated
Bangladesh Perspective Planning 2010-2021,
in the light of Vision-2021 to attain a definite set of
objectives that relate to economic and social
development of Bangladesh. The document
reflects the hopes and aspirations of common
people which has been given the top priority and
incorporates the development philosophy of the
government, its longterm vision and strategic goals
of desired development. The fundamental
objective of this long term plan is to alleviate
poverty by achieving higher growth and to turn
Bangladesh into a medium income country where
poverty will be brought to the minimum and
regional disparity in the sphere of economic
development will be reduced significantly.

percent in 2011 to 1.30 percent in 2012 but is
expected to rise to 1.50 percent in 2013. It has
been forecasted for eurozone to have sluggish
growth of -0.40 percent in 2012 which was 1.40
percent in 2011 and is expected to grow to 0.20
percent in 2013.
On the other hand, according to Asian
Development Outlook, October 2012, the dimming
global growth prospects and soft domestic
demand in the regions two largest economies are
slowing the pace of developing Asias expansion.
Growth was estimated to slide from 7.20 percent in
2011 to 6.10 percent in 2012, which was expected
to bounce back to register 6.70 percent growth in
2013.
Impressive Track Record of Bangladesh
Economy
Bangladeshs track record of achievements, in
different sectors and according to various
performance indicators, bear evidence that she is
making impressive and encouraging progress
towards attaining her goal of being a middle
income country by 2021. Bangladesh was able to
accelerate her GDP growth from under 4.00
percent per year to over 6.00 percent within a span
of two decades. Our country has been able to
make commendable transition from a
predominantly aid-dependent economy to a
trading nation. The combined net foreign
exchange earnings from export of goods and
remittance are at present about fifteen times more
than the aid we receive annually.
Bangladesh has established herself as the second
largest exporter of apparels in the world, after
China; our shipbuilding, footwear, pharmaceuticals
and other non-traditional exports are showing
encouraging signs. Our farmers have increased
food grains production by more than three fold
since independence enabling Bangladesh to more
towards food security. Our economy has been able
to demonstrate impressive resilience in the face of
multiple global and financial crisis. Bangladeshs
track record in attaining key Millennium
Development Goals (MDGs) including in the areas
of poverty alleviation, gender parity, and access to

Directors Report
to the Shareholders
Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
Respected Shareholders
Assalamu Alaikum
On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am indeed
delighted to present before you the sixth Annual
Report of Agrani Bank Limited. The report
evaluates and analyzes banks overall operational
performance of 2012 compared to that of 2011. I
would request you to read the information and
analyses in conjunction with the audited financial
statements presented herewith. The report also
presents an overview of the global economic
scenario and the performance of Bangladesh
Economy to put in perspective the banks
performance.
Global Economic Scenario
Immediately after the recovery from economic
crisis in 2010, the global economy is again facing
challenges as the recession re-emerged in the first
half of FY 2011-12 due to sovereign debt crisis in
several euro-zone economies and economic
instability in the USA. However, steps taken to
reinvigorate the USA economy and joint efforts to
protect euro economies from further effect of
recession have slightly watered down the effect in
the second half of 2011. Despite some
deceleration in the growth of the developed
economies and slight slowdown in economic
growth of emerging and developing countries
compared to the growth momentum in 2011;
economic growth of emerging and developing
countries remains fairly strong.
According to World Economic Outlook (WEO),
October 2012 of IMF, despite that the world
economic growth slowed to 3.30 percent in 2012
from 3.80 percent in 2011, it is projected to rise to
3.60 percent in 2013. Growth of high income
countries would deteriorate further from 1.60

health and education has received high global
acclaim.
These aforesaid achievements were possible
through a combination of factors: supportive
government policies and targeted resource
allocation; the hard work of farmers and workers at
home and abroad, contribution of the private
sector and our vibrant entrepreneurial class,
proactive role of our non-government actors
including in areas of disbursement of micro-credit,
development of micro-enterprises and raising
consciousness about economic and social issues;
target support provided by development partners.
Macroeconomic Scenario of Bangladesh
Economic Growth
Although the growth of Bangladesh economy
slowed down in the context of negative growth in
world trade at the beginning of the global financial
crisis in FY 2008-09, next year this growth
bounced back and average growth remained
above 6.00 percent in the last three years.
According to BBS, GDP grew to 6.71 percent in FY
2010-11 and the estimated GDP growth rate for FY
2011-12 is 6.32 percent. However, because of high
base effect induced by more than 5.00 percent
growth in agriculture sector during the last two
years, the growth of FY 2011-12 dipped a little
which is still satisfactory. Alongside, substantial
growth in industry and service sector has
contributed to overall GDP growth. In FY2011-12,
growth in agriculture, industry and service sectors
have estimated to 2.53 percent, 9.47 percent and
6.06 percent respectively. This year GDP and GNI
per capita stood at US$ 772 and US$ 848 which
were US$ 748 and US$ 816 respectively in the last
fiscal year.
Savings and Investment
Estimated domestic savings slightly increased
from 19.30 percent of GDP in FY 2010-11 to 19.40
percent of GDP in FY 2011-12. Investment in FY
2011-12 also showed similar feature with a slight
increase and stood at 25.40 percent of GDP in FY
2011-12 from 25.20 percent of GDP in FY2010-11.
Of which the share of private investment stood at
19.10 percent of GDP while that of public
investment was 6.30 percent in FY 2011-12. In FY

2010-11, the private and the public sector investments
were 19.50 percent and 5.60 percent of GDP
respectively. Major initiatives of the Government
implemented in infrastructure sector including power
and reduction in cost of doing business helped create
investment-friendly environment. In addition to this,
because of satisfactory growth of remittances, national
savings in FY 2011-12 upturned to 29.40 percent of GDP
from 28.80 percent of GDP in the previous year.
Inflation
The 12 month average inflation rate reached to
10.62 percent in FY 2011-12 which was 8.80
percent in FY2010-11. Oil and food inflation in
global market and excessive credit flows to
unproductive sectors were mainly responsible for
this upturn. Inflation on point to point basis in June
2012 stood at 8.56 percent which was 10.49
percent in March 2011. From the trend analysis of
inflation in Bangladesh, it is clear that in the first
half of FY 2011- 2012 general inflation went up
because of food inflation. However, at the end of
FY2011-12, non-food inflation was the key factor in
pushing general inflation upward. At this point in
time, food inflation recorded to 7.08 (monthly rate,
point to point basis) percent from about 13.00
percent in the same month of FY2010-11.
Satisfactory food production and supply of
essential commodities including demand
management through Open Market Sale (OMS) of
the essential commodities and sufficient stock of
food grains contributed to the efforts of pulling
down food inflation. On the other hand, there was
a non-food inflationary pressure due to price hike
in international market, depreciation in exchange
rate and adjustment of oil price. In order to contain
inflation, the Government has undertaken
necessary steps by forging better coordination
between fiscal and monetary policies. Although
there was a pressure of oil price adjustment on
food price, it was transitory. It is expected that
actions like discouraging credit flows to
unproductive sector alongside adopting restrained
and effective monetary policy will reduce the
inflationary pressure.

Fiscal Situation
Revenue Earning
A target for revenue receipt was set at Tk.1,18,385
crore (12.94 percent of GDP) in FY 2011-12 of
which NBR tax revenue accounted for Tk. 91,870
crore (10.00 percent of GDP), non-NBR revenue,
Tk. 3,915 crore (0.40 percent of GDP) and non-tax
revenue Tk. 22,600 crore (2.47 percent of GDP).
Against these targets, tax revenue from NBR
sources stood at Tk. 91,597 crore while revenue
receipts from non-NBR source and non-tax
revenue receipts were Tk. 3,633 crore and Tk.
18,550 core respectively in FY 2011-12. Total
revenue receipts increased by 19.53 percent from
Tk. 95,188 crore in FY 2010-11 to Tk. 1,13,781
crore in FY 2011-12.
Monetary and Financial Sector
Following the global financial crisis, monetary
policy stance was accommodative in FY2010-11
which has been adjusted in FY 2011-12 consistent
with the changes in the global and domestic
economic scenario. The monetary policy of FY
2011-12 was formulated to maintain a restrained
money supply and credit growth to manage the
pressure arising from a number of factors including
the lagged effect of high domestic credit growth in
the previous year, high inflation transmitted
through global price hike of essential commodities
including food items and huge borrowing from
banking system to meet government expenditure.
The restrained monetary policy was adopted to
ensure continued support for adequate credit flows
to the productive and priority sectors including
agriculture and SME, while controlling money
supply and credit to unproductive sectors. To
downturn the inflation into a tolerable level
Bangladesh Bank has re-fixed the policy rate of
REPO and reverse REPO at 7.75 percent and 5.75
percent respectively by raising 225 points on 4
occasions.
Interest Rate
There was a maximum cap of 7.00 percent interest
rate on export credit fixed since January 10, 2004

to facilitate export earnings. Recently, the cap on
interest rate on lending in all sectors other than
pre-shipment export credit and agricultural loans
has been withdrawn. This has brought
competitiveness among banks in fixing rate of
interest on lending in a rational manner. Banks are
allowed to differentiate interest rate up to a
maximum of 3.00 percent considering comparative
risk elements involved among borrowers in the
same lending category which they would promptly
expose in their respective website and inform to
the Bangladesh Bank.
External Sector
Export
In the wake of the recovery from global financial
recession, the export trade of Bangladesh made a
turnaround. However, sovereign credit crisis in
eurozone which is one of Bangladeshs main
export destinations is having its impact on export
trade. The export earnings of Bangladesh stood at
US$ 24,288 million in FY 2011-12, which was 5.90
percent higher than the export earnings (US$
22,928 million) of FY 2010-11. Export earnings in
FY 2011-12 by major categories increased mainly
for footwear (30.10 percent), engineering products
(21.10 percent), woven garments (13.90 percent)
and leather (10.80 percent). On the other hand,
export earnings dipped in respect of raw jute
(-25.40 percent), ceramic product (-10.20 percent)
and jute goods (-7.50 percent). Some of the
facilities under the incentive package declared by
the Government are still continuing. Assistance for
the entrepreneurs tiled New Market Exploration
Assistance announced under the incentive
package is also being extended this year for
diversification of goods and exploration of new
export market. In the meantime, export markets
have been created in Japan, Korea, South Africa
and Turkey. Besides, due to reduction of duties by
India, Bangladeshi commodities are having gainful
access to India.
Import
The total import payments (C&F) stood at US$
35,516 million during FY 2011-12, which was 5.50

percent higher than the import payments of US$
33,657 million of the preceding year. Although
import payments increased at the beginning of this
fiscal year due to price hike of fuel in the global
market and higher demand of fuel for electricity
generation, it slowed down towards the end of the
year as import of unimportant goods were
discouraged. Analyzing the category of imported
goods, it is observed that, import payments for
industrial raw materials, petroleum and petroleum
products increased by 22.75 percent, 11.15
percent and 21.76 percent respectively, while
import of capital machinery and primary
commodities decreased by 13.73 percent and
25.79 percent respectively.
Overseas Employment and Remittance
Although export of manpower slowed down in the
first half of FY 2010-11 because of the impact of
global recession, particularly on the real estate
markets in the Middle East, and on industrial
labour demand in some South East Asian
economies such as Malaysia, it began to increase
from January 2011. The amount of remittances
increased by 6.03 percent to US$ 11,650.32
million in FY 2010-11 compared to that of the
previous year. Bangladesh earned remittances of
US$ 12,843.40 million in FY 2011-12 which was
10.24 percent higher than the amount of the
previous year. The Government has undertaken
several initiatives including diplomatic approaches
to explore new markets. As many as 6.91 lakh
workers went abroad in quest of jobs in FY
2011-12, which was 57.40 percent higher than the
number stood at in the previous year. To begin
manpower export in full swing to Africa, East
Europe and Latin America, a number of diplomatic
initiatives have been undertaken alongside
establishing new labour wings in several countries.
There is also an attempt to impart training on
various trades to create skilled labour force to
meet the demand of labour markets abroad.
Balance of Payment
Trade balance recorded a rise in deficit by 3.20
percent to US$ 7,995 million in the FY 2011-12 as
compared to the deficit of US$ 7,744 million during
FY 2010-11. During this period, the current

Medium Term Prospect of Bangladesh Economy
In the current context of domestic and global
economic scenario, a Medium-Term
Macroeconomic Framework (MTMF) for FY
2012-2016 has been worked out based on some
fundamental assumptions. Just after the recovery of
the world economy from yearlong global recession
during 2008-09, devastating tsunami and
destruction of nuclear power plant in Japan, the
ongoing sovereign debt crisis in several eurozone
economies and continuing economic instability and
high unemployment in the USA, have slowed the
pace of the world economic growth significantly. As
a result, the global output decreased in 2011.
However, afterwards, an integrated policy and
strategies to overcome the eurozone crisis,
rebouncing of US economic growth and sustaining
the domestic demand in emerging and developing
economies, it was expected that global output
would increase in 2012.
Different macroeconomic indicators for the next
fiscal year and over the medium term have been
updated in view of continued satisfactory
performance in revenue collection, growth in
agriculture sector, investment in infrastructure
including power, exchange rate stability and
containment of inflationary pressure.
In the Medium Term Macroeconomic Framework,
real GDP growth has been estimated at 7.20
percent for FY 2012-13, 7.60 percent for FY
2013-14, 8.00 percent for FY 2014-15 and 9.10
percent for FY 2015-16 respectively. It is expected
that investment will increase from 25.40 percent of
GDP in FY 2011-12 to 33.70 percent in FY 2016-17
where private and public investment will stand at
25.20 percent and 8.50 percent respectively. On
the other hand, domestic savings is expected to
increase to 22.40 percent from 19.60 percent and
national savings will go up from 29.40 percent to
32.80 percent in the medium term.

Development of agriculture sector including that of
power, energy and communication sectors are
crucial for achieving the desired growth of GDP.
Undertaking initiatives as envisaged in the
roadmap for power, exploring new gas deposits to
meet existing energy demand and utilising
renewable energy will ensure investment-friendly
environment in power and energy sector. It is also
expected that infrastructure deficit will be removed
by reinvigorating public-Private Partnership (PPP)
initiatives in the development of communication
sector and efficient and timely implementation of
Annual Development Program. In order to ensure
proper implementation of projects to be taken up
under PPP, a scheme has been worked out and a
set of policies and guidelines have been approved
by the Government.
In agriculture sector, there was a consistent and
positive growth over the last three years. Huge
government support such as subsidy, power
supply for irrigation, flow of agricultural credit,
innovation of new variety of salinity tolerant seed
and weather, and increasing assistance to
agro-based industries contributed significantly in
achieving sustainable growth in agriculture sector.
All these activities will continue which is expected
to support sustainable agricultural growth.
The estimated government expenditure stood at
16.50 percent of GDP in FY 2011-12 which is
expected to be 18.40 percent in FY 2012-13. The
target for FY 2016-17 has been set at 20.60
percent of GDP. Against this, expenditure on
Annual Development Programme is planned to be
increased from 3.90 percent of GDP in FY 2011-12
to 7.00 percent of GDP in FY 2016-17.
For financing the deficit, Government has planned
to reduce borrowing from the banking system. In
this regard, priority has been given to foreign
assistance which were committed and in pipe line.
For consecutive two years, Standard and Poors
(S&P) and Moodys retained the same sovereign
credit rating for Bangladesh. In their respective
lists rating for Bangladesh is BB- and Ba3.
According to this rating, in terms of credit
worthiness, Bangladesh is at par with the
Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam. Such rating
will decrease the cost of debenture and import
payment and will help in attracting more foreign
investment.

Containing inflation is a big challenge for
macroeconomic stability. In MTMF, inflation has
forecasted to bring down at 7.50 percent in the
upcoming fiscal year and that is expected to bring
out almost 5.00 percent. It was expected that the
steps taken to increase food production,
uninterrupted food supply and enhance food
security would also be helpful in reining on
inflation. Bangladesh Bank in its monetary policy
statement has laid emphasis on limiting money
supply and discouraging credit flow to the
unproductive sectors. Side by side, emphasis is
also given to ensure credit flow to productive and
priority sectors including agriculture and SME
sectors.
Financial recession in eurozone economies, one of
the major export markets of Bangladesh, has
affected its export sector slowing it down to 6.20
percent in FY 2011-12. However, it has been
possible to tackle the crisis through integrated
efforts of euro countries. Besides, initiatives on
exploring new markets and diversification of export
goods have already contributed to our economy,
though to a limited extent.
The remittances from expatriate Bangladeshi
workers grew by 10.24 percent during this year
which has been estimated to be 12.00 percent for
next years. It is expected that concerted efforts on
exploring new labour markets and intensive
diplomatic initiatives will increase expatriate
employment and contribute towards sustaining the
existing trends of remittance of flows. The current
account balance (CAB) decreased but in MTMF it
is expected to bring back in a positive territory.
Pressures on exchange rate and foreign exchange
reserve have been offset due to adoption of
effective fiscal and monetary policy stances. Both
the exchange rate and reserve situation remained
stable at the end of FY 2011-12. The goal of
maintaining macroeconomic stability together with
expected GDP growth and target of inflation will be
achieved if the future shocks from domestic as well
as external sectors could be tackled properly.

Its true meaning lies in proper application of
technology to implement all the commitments of

the government regarding education, health,
employment and poverty alleviation. The main
purpose of this idea is to improve the standards of
living of the people by empowering them, ensuring
transparency and accountability in all spheres of
life, establishing good-governance and, above all,
bringing public services to their doorsteps through
the most effective use of technology. In short,
Digital Bangladesh is a happy prosperous and
enlightened Bangladesh, which is free from
hunger, poverty, inequality and corruption and
belongs completely to its people and is driven
forward by digital technology.
Perspective Plan 2010-2021
The Government keeping in view the Golden
Jubilee of Independence has formulated
Bangladesh Perspective Planning 2010-2021,
in the light of Vision-2021 to attain a definite set of
objectives that relate to economic and social
development of Bangladesh. The document
reflects the hopes and aspirations of common
people which has been given the top priority and
incorporates the development philosophy of the
government, its longterm vision and strategic goals
of desired development. The fundamental
objective of this long term plan is to alleviate
poverty by achieving higher growth and to turn
Bangladesh into a medium income country where
poverty will be brought to the minimum and
regional disparity in the sphere of economic
development will be reduced significantly.

Asset Portfolio
The year-end asset portfolio scenarios of the bank in
2011 and 2012 are appended below:
Business Performance
a) Deposits
At the end of December 2012, the deposit of the bank
stood at Tk. 29,242.92 crore compared to Tk. 25,220.84
crore at the end of previous year leading to a
year-on-year growth in deposit of 15.95 percent. Given
the adverse economic scenario of the country during the
year under review, this growth rate is a remarkable
achievement.
In the prevailing situation, mobiliziation of deposits
became highly competitive and as a result, the average
cost of fund for the banks in the private sector increased
compared to that of the previous year. The bank,
therefore, decided to mobilize low cost fund. The deposit
mix of the bank as on 31 December 2012 was as
follows:
the former Agrani Bank and the Board of Directors
of the Bank on behalf of Agrani Bank Limited on 15
November 2007 with retrospective effect from 01
July 2007.
All shares of the bank are held by the Government
of the People's Republic of Bangladesh and 12
other shareholders (with one share each, the
qualification share required to become a director)
nominated by the Government.
The bank has 889 branches as of 31 December
2012 with no overseas branch. The bank has,
however, two at home and four in abroad named,
1) Agrani Equity and Investment Limited, 2) Agrani
SME Financing Company Limited, 3) Agrani
Exchange House Private Limited in Singapore, 4)
Agrani Remittance House Sdn., Bhd. in Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia, 5) Agrani Remittance House

stood at Tk. 29,242.92 crore compared to Tk. 25,220.84
crore at the end of previous year leading to a
year-on-year growth in deposit of 15.95 percent. Given
the adverse economic scenario of the country during the

therefore, decided to mobilize low cost fund. The deposit
mix of the bank as on 31 December 2012 was as
follows:
the former Agrani Bank and the Board of Directors
of the Bank on behalf of Agrani Bank Limited on 15
November 2007 with retrospective effect from 01
July 2007.
All shares of the bank are held by the Government
of the People's Republic of Bangladesh and 12
other shareholders (with one share each, the
qualification share required to become a director)
nominated by the Government.
The bank has 889 branches as of 31 December
2012 with no overseas branch. The bank has,
however, two at home and four in abroad named,
1) Agrani Equity and Investment Limited, 2) Agrani
SME Financing Company Limited, 3) Agrani

Asset Portfolio
The year-end asset portfolio scenarios of the bank in
2011 and 2012 are appended below:
Business Performance
a) Deposits
At the end of December 2012, the deposit of the bank
stood at Tk. 29,242.92 crore compared to Tk. 25,220.84
crore at the end of previous year leading to a
year-on-year growth in deposit of 15.95 percent. Given
the adverse economic scenario of the country during the
year under review, this growth rate is a remarkable
achievement.
In the prevailing situation, mobiliziation of deposits
became highly competitive and as a result, the average
cost of fund for the banks in the private sector increased
compared to that of the previous year. The bank,
therefore, decided to mobilize low cost fund. The deposit
mix of the bank as on 31 December 2012 was as
follows:
the former Agrani Bank and the Board of Directors
of the Bank on behalf of Agrani Bank Limited on 15
November 2007 with retrospective effect from 01
July 2007.
All shares of the bank are held by the Government
of the People's Republic of Bangladesh and 12
other shareholders (with one share each, the
qualification share required to become a director)
nominated by the Government.
The bank has 889 branches as of 31 December
2012 with no overseas branch. The bank has,
however, two at home and four in abroad named,
1) Agrani Equity and Investment Limited, 2) Agrani
SME Financing Company Limited, 3) Agrani
Exchange House Private Limited in Singapore, 4)
Agrani Remittance House Sdn., Bhd. in Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia, 5) Agrani Remittance House

Asset Portfolio
The year-end asset portfolio scenarios of the bank in
2011 and 2012 are appended below:

a) Deposits
At the end of December 2012, the deposit of the bank
stood at Tk. 29,242.92 crore compared to Tk. 25,220.84
crore at the end of previous year leading to a
year-on-year growth in deposit of 15.95 percent. Given
the adverse economic scenario of the country during the
year under review, this growth rate is a remarkable
achievement.
In the prevailing situation, mobiliziation of deposits
became highly competitive and as a result, the average
cost of fund for the banks in the private sector increased
compared to that of the previous year. The bank,
therefore, decided to mobilize low cost fund. The deposit
mix of the bank as on 31 December 2012 was as
follows:
the former Agrani Bank and the Board of Directors
of the Bank on behalf of Agrani Bank Limited on 15
November 2007 with retrospective effect from 01
July 2007.
All shares of the bank are held by the Government
of the People's Republic of Bangladesh and 12
other shareholders (with one share each, the
qualification share required to become a director)
nominated by the Government.
The bank has 889 branches as of 31 December
2012 with no overseas branch. The bank has,
however, two at home and four in abroad named,
1) Agrani Equity and Investment Limited, 2) Agrani
SME Financing Company Limited, 3) Agrani
Exchange House Private Limited in Singapore, 4)
Agrani Remittance House Sdn., Bhd. in Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia, 5) Agrani Remittance House

Asset Portfolio
The year-end asset portfolio scenarios of the bank in
2011 and 2012 are appended below:
Business Performance
a) Deposits
At the end of December 2012, the deposit of the bank
stood at Tk. 29,242.92 crore compared to Tk. 25,220.84
crore at the end of previous year leading to a
year-on-year growth in deposit of 15.95 percent. Given
the adverse economic scenario of the country during the
year under review, this growth rate is a remarkable
achievement.
In the prevailing situation, mobiliziation of deposits
became highly competitive and as a result, the average
cost of fund for the banks in the private sector increased
compared to that of the previous year. The bank,
therefore, decided to mobilize low cost fund. The deposit
mix of the bank as on 31 December 2012 was as
follows:
the former Agrani Bank and the Board of Directors
of the Bank on behalf of Agrani Bank Limited on 15
November 2007 with retrospective effect from 01
July 2007.
All shares of the bank are held by the Government
of the People's Republic of Bangladesh and 12
other shareholders (with one share each, the
qualification share required to become a director)
nominated by the Government.
The bank has 889 branches as of 31 December
2012 with no overseas branch. The bank has,
however, two at home and four in abroad named,
1) Agrani Equity and Investment Limited, 2) Agrani
SME Financing Company Limited, 3) Agrani
Exchange House Private Limited in Singapore, 4)
Agrani Remittance House Sdn., Bhd. in Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia, 5) Agrani Remittance House

a) Deposits
At the end of December 2012, the deposit of the bank
stood at Tk. 29,242.92 crore compared to Tk. 25,220.84
crore at the end of previous year leading to a
year-on-year growth in deposit of 15.95 percent. Given
the adverse economic scenario of the country during the
year under review, this growth rate is a remarkable
achievement.

became highly competitive and as a result, the average
cost of fund for the banks in the private sector increased
compared to that of the previous year. The bank,
therefore, decided to mobilize low cost fund. The deposit
mix of the bank as on 31 December 2012 was as
follows:
the former Agrani Bank and the Board of Directors
of the Bank on behalf of Agrani Bank Limited on 15
November 2007 with retrospective effect from 01
July 2007.
All shares of the bank are held by the Government
of the People's Republic of Bangladesh and 12
other shareholders (with one share each, the
qualification share required to become a director)
nominated by the Government.
The bank has 889 branches as of 31 December
2012 with no overseas branch. The bank has,
however, two at home and four in abroad named,
1) Agrani Equity and Investment Limited, 2) Agrani
SME Financing Company Limited, 3) Agrani
Exchange House Private Limited in Singapore, 4)
Agrani Remittance House Sdn., Bhd. in Kuala

Market or Equity Desk. Money Market is devoted
to maintaining CRR & SLR and buying and selling
interests bearing securities. FX desk buys and
sells foreign currencies. Equity desk deals with
equity and shares. Overall treasury function
operates through three segments i) Treasury Front
Office, 2) Treasury Mid Office and 3) Treasury
Back Office. Treasury Front Office deals with
operational activities, Mid Office for regulations
and monitoring, Back Office for settlement and
reconciliation.
Treasury Division has been playing a very vital role
instrumental to the advancement of the Bank. Two
major statutory requirements, CRR and SLR are
maintained efficiently by this Division. Asset
Liability Management is the most important job
done by the Treasury. A significant share of the
total income of the Bank has been contributed by
this Division through money market and FX
operations. The treasury of the bank is a major
player both in the inter bank money market and
foreign exchange market.

around financing priority sectors in the line with the
Government's overall development vision.
Agriculture is one of the priority sectors to which
the Bank has been channeling funds since 1977
with a broader objective of invigorating the sources
of growth like agriculture including livestock,
fishery and other off farm activities.

provision. A range of steps were taken to achieve
the optimum result. The main focus was on the
intensive and strict follow-up in respect of recovery
of previous classified and overdue loans along with
arresting new classification thereof. By the end of
2012, the total classified loan stood at Tk. 5,380.13
crore (25.30 percent of total loans and advances).

formed aiming at the Head office and grassroots
level. Activities are run to achieve the goal upon
setting targets at the beginning of the year.
Declaring November 2012 as classified loan
recovery month, special activities by 14 teams
comprising senior executives are run alongside the
regular activities to accelerate recovery of
classified loans. After visiting grassroots level, the
senior executives have issued special directives to
zonal & branch level for taking effective measures
for recovering classified loan. Besides, 5
non-government debt collection agents have been
deployed to recover written-off loans. As a result of
the measures taken, there was a significant
progress in recovering default-loans in the last
quarter of the year.

of previous classified and overdue loans along with
arresting new classification thereof. By the end of

crore (25.30 percent of total loans and advances).

recovery month, special activities by 14 teams
comprising senior executives are run alongside the
regular activities to accelerate recovery of
classified loans. After visiting grassroots level, the
senior executives have issued special directives to
zonal & branch level for taking effective measures
for recovering classified loan. Besides, 5
non-government debt collection agents have been
deployed to recover written-off loans. As a result of
the measures taken, there was a significant
progress in recovering default-loans in the last
quarter of the year.

loans and advances has been overriding priority of
the Bank, along with maintaining a commensurate
provision. A range of steps were taken to achieve
the optimum result. The main focus was on the
intensive and strict follow-up in respect of recovery
of previous classified and overdue loans along with
arresting new classification thereof. By the end of
2012, the total classified loan stood at Tk. 5,380.13
crore (25.30 percent of total loans and advances).

formed aiming at the Head office and grassroots
level. Activities are run to achieve the goal upon
setting targets at the beginning of the year.
Declaring November 2012 as classified loan
recovery month, special activities by 14 teams
comprising senior executives are run alongside the
regular activities to accelerate recovery of
classified loans. After visiting grassroots level, the
senior executives have issued special directives to
zonal & branch level for taking effective measures
for recovering classified loan. Besides, 5
non-government debt collection agents have been
deployed to recover written-off loans. As a result of
the measures taken, there was a significant
progress in recovering default-loans in the last
quarter of the year.

will increase by minimum 10 percent in the coming
year. Credit facilities will be extended in
establishing power plant, information technology,
dairy & poultry, hospitals/clinics, solar energy,
bio-gas , effluent treatment plant and plants like
Hybrid Hoffman Kiln (HHK) for brick field all of
which are priority sectors and

around financing priority sectors in the line with the
Government's overall development vision.
Agriculture is one of the priority sectors to which
the Bank has been channeling funds since 1977
with a broader objective of invigorating the sources
of growth like agriculture including livestock,
fishery and other off farm activities.

and stimulate growth. A large number of targeted
programmes with a loan ceiling of Tk.

j) Loan Classification and Provisioning
Reduction in the number and value of classified
loans and advances has been overriding priority of
the Bank, along with maintaining a commensurate
provision. A range of steps were taken to achieve
the optimum result. The main focus was on the
intensive and strict follow-up in respect of recovery
of previous classified and overdue loans along with
arresting new classification thereof. By the end of
2012, the total classified loan stood at Tk. 5,380.13
crore (25.30 percent of total loans and advances).
k) Loan Recovery Activities 2012
To reduce the amount of classified loans, plans are
formed aiming at the Head office and grassroots
level. Activities are run to achieve the goal upon
setting targets at the beginning of the year.
Declaring November 2012 as classified loan
recovery month, special activities by 14 teams
comprising senior executives are run alongside the
regular activities to accelerate recovery of
classified loans. After visiting grassroots level, the
senior executives have issued special directives to
zonal & branch level for taking effective measures
for recovering classified loan. Besides, 5
non-government debt collection agents have been
deployed to recover written-off loans. As a result of
the measures taken, there was a significant
progress in recovering default-loans in the last
quarter of the year.
Comparative picture of Loan Recovery in 2011 & 2012
Total loans and advances (including staff loan) on
31.12.2012 stood at Tk. 21,266.30 crore. Against
this, the amount of classified loans was Tk.
5,380.13 crore, which is 25.30 percent of total
loans & advances. Classified loans recovered
amounting to Tk. 843.17 crore which was 56.21
percent of total yearly recovery target of Tk.
1500.00 crore.

viii. Agriculture and Rural Credit
The Bank's main functions have been centered
around financing priority sectors in the line with the
Government's overall development vision.
Agriculture is one of the priority sectors to which
the Bank has been channeling funds since 1977
with a broader objective of invigorating the sources
of growth like agriculture including livestock,
fishery and other off farm activities.
Proverty alleviation through income generation
activities is one of the strategies which the Bank
has been pursuing to make financial resources
available to the rural poor to break poverty cycle
and stimulate growth. A large number of targeted
programmes with a loan ceiling of Tk.
5,000-1,00,000 and interest rate between 8-12
percent has been undertaken to reach the rural
landless, marginal farmers, small enterpreneurs
and distressed women. No collateral security is
required for loan upto TK. 1,00,000.

j) Loan Classification and Provisioning
Reduction in the number and value of classified
loans and advances has been overriding priority of
the Bank, along with maintaining a commensurate
provision. A range of steps were taken to achieve
the optimum result. The main focus was on the
intensive and strict follow-up in respect of recovery
of previous classified and overdue loans along with
arresting new classification thereof. By the end of
2012, the total classified loan stood at Tk. 5,380.13
crore (25.30 percent of total loans and advances).

formed aiming at the Head office and grassroots
level. Activities are run to achieve the goal upon
setting targets at the beginning of the year.
Declaring November 2012 as classified loan
recovery month, special activities by 14 teams
comprising senior executives are run alongside the
regular activities to accelerate recovery of
classified loans. After visiting grassroots level, the
senior executives have issued special directives to
zonal & branch level for taking effective measures
for recovering classified loan. Besides, 5
non-government debt collection agents have been
deployed to recover written-off loans. As a result of
the measures taken, there was a significant
progress in recovering default-loans in the last
quarter of the year.

j) Loan Classification and Provisioning
Reduction in the number and value of classified
loans and advances has been overriding priority of
the Bank, along with maintaining a commensurate
provision. A range of steps were taken to achieve
the optimum result. The main focus was on the
intensive and strict follow-up in respect of recovery
of previous classified and overdue loans along with
arresting new classification thereof. By the end of
2012, the total classified loan stood at Tk. 5,380.13
crore (25.30 percent of total loans and advances).
k) Loan Recovery Activities 2012
To reduce the amount of classified loans, plans are
formed aiming at the Head office and grassroots
level. Activities are run to achieve the goal upon
setting targets at the beginning of the year.
Declaring November 2012 as classified loan
recovery month, special activities by 14 teams
comprising senior executives are run alongside the
regular activities to accelerate recovery of
classified loans. After visiting grassroots level, the
senior executives have issued special directives to
zonal & branch level for taking effective measures
for recovering classified loan. Besides, 5
non-government debt collection agents have been
deployed to recover written-off loans. As a result of
the measures taken, there was a significant
progress in recovering default-loans in the last
quarter of the year.

vi. Green Banking Financing
ABL extends credit facilities from its own source
instead of availing refinancing facilities provided by
Bangladesh Bank to establish project like Solar
Panel, Bio-gas, Effluent Treatment Plant and
Hybrid Hoffman Kiln (HHK) and similar

sectors on easy terms and conditions for
maintenance of ecological balance and public
health by reducing industrial wastages as well as
carbon emission of brick fields and through
utilization of solar energy and environment-friendly
alternative fuel to combat the deficiency of
electricity & gas. The bank disbursed Tk 33.95 lac
in 66 Solar Energy plants, Tk 209.98 lac in Bio-gas
plant against 88 borrowers and Tk 270.00 lac in
Auto Brick fields using Hybrid Hoffman Kiln
technology against 1 borrower respectively upto
2012.

It is expected that credit flow of Industrial sector
will increase by minimum 10 percent in the coming
year. Credit facilities will be extended in
establishing power plant, information technology,
dairy & poultry, hospitals/clinics, solar energy,
bio-gas , effluent treatment plant and plants like
Hybrid Hoffman Kiln (HHK) for brick field all of
which are priority sectors and
environment-friendly. Furthermore, the Bank will

j) Loan Classification and Provisioning
Reduction in the number and value of classified
loans and advances has been overriding priority of
the Bank, along with maintaining a commensurate
provision. A range of steps were taken to achieve
the optimum result. The main focus was on the
intensive and strict follow-up in respect of recovery
of previous classified and overdue loans along with
arresting new classification thereof. By the end of
2012, the total classified loan stood at Tk. 5,380.13
crore (25.30 percent of total loans and advances).
k) Loan Recovery Activities 2012
To reduce the amount of classified loans, plans are
formed aiming at the Head office and grassroots
level. Activities are run to achieve the goal upon
setting targets at the beginning of the year.
Declaring November 2012 as classified loan
recovery month, special activities by 14 teams
comprising senior executives are run alongside the
regular activities to accelerate recovery of
classified loans. After visiting grassroots level, the
senior executives have issued special directives to
zonal & branch level for taking effective measures
for recovering classified loan. Besides, 5
non-government debt collection agents have been
deployed to recover written-off loans. As a result of
the measures taken, there was a significant
progress in recovering default-loans in the last
quarter of the year.
Comparative picture of Loan Recovery in 2011 & 2012
Total loans and advances (including staff loan) on
31.12.2012 stood at Tk. 21,266.30 crore. Against

j) Loan Classification and Provisioning
Reduction in the number and value of classified
loans and advances has been overriding priority of
the Bank, along with maintaining a commensurate
provision. A range of steps were taken to achieve
the optimum result. The main focus was on the
intensive and strict follow-up in respect of recovery
of previous classified and overdue loans along with
arresting new classification thereof. By the end of
2012, the total classified loan stood at Tk. 5,380.13
crore (25.30 percent of total loans and advances).
k) Loan Recovery Activities 2012
To reduce the amount of classified loans, plans are
formed aiming at the Head office and grassroots
level. Activities are run to achieve the goal upon
setting targets at the beginning of the year.
Declaring November 2012 as classified loan
recovery month, special activities by 14 teams
comprising senior executives are run alongside the
regular activities to accelerate recovery of
classified loans. After visiting grassroots level, the
senior executives have issued special directives to
zonal & branch level for taking effective measures
for recovering classified loan. Besides, 5
non-government debt collection agents have been
deployed to recover written-off loans. As a result of
the measures taken, there was a significant
progress in recovering default-loans in the last
quarter of the year.
Comparative picture of Loan Recovery in 2011 & 2012
Total loans and advances (including staff loan) on
31.12.2012 stood at Tk. 21,266.30 crore. Against
this, the amount of classified loans was Tk.
5,380.13 crore, which is 25.30 percent of total
loans & advances. Classified loans recovered
amounting to Tk. 843.17 crore which was 56.21

around financing priority sectors in the line with the
Government's overall development vision.
Agriculture is one of the priority sectors to which

with a broader objective of invigorating the sources
of growth like agriculture including livestock,
fishery and other off farm activities.

of previous classified and overdue loans along with
arresting new classification thereof. By the end of

crore (25.30 percent of total loans and advances).

recovery month, special activities by 14 teams
comprising senior executives are run alongside the
regular activities to accelerate recovery of
classified loans. After visiting grassroots level, the
senior executives have issued special directives to
zonal & branch level for taking effective measures
for recovering classified loan. Besides, 5
non-government debt collection agents have been
deployed to recover written-off loans. As a result of
the measures taken, there was a significant
progress in recovering default-loans in the last
quarter of the year.

of previous classified and overdue loans along with
arresting new classification thereof. By the end of

crore (25.30 percent of total loans and advances).

formed aiming at the Head office and grassroots
level. Activities are run to achieve the goal upon
setting targets at the beginning of the year.
Declaring November 2012 as classified loan
recovery month, special activities by 14 teams
comprising senior executives are run alongside the
regular activities to accelerate recovery of
classified loans. After visiting grassroots level, the
senior executives have issued special directives to
zonal & branch level for taking effective measures
for recovering classified loan. Besides, 5
non-government debt collection agents have been
deployed to recover written-off loans. As a result of
the measures taken, there was a significant
progress in recovering default-loans in the last
quarter of the year.

vi. Green Banking Financing
ABL extends credit facilities from its own source
instead of availing refinancing facilities provided by
Bangladesh Bank to establish project like Solar
Panel, Bio-gas, Effluent Treatment Plant and
Hybrid Hoffman Kiln (HHK) and similar
technological projects. The bank finances in these
sectors on easy terms and conditions for
maintenance of ecological balance and public
health by reducing industrial wastages as well as
carbon emission of brick fields and through
utilization of solar energy and environment-friendly
alternative fuel to combat the deficiency of
electricity & gas. The bank disbursed Tk 33.95 lac
in 66 Solar Energy plants, Tk 209.98 lac in Bio-gas
plant against 88 borrowers and Tk 270.00 lac in
Auto Brick fields using Hybrid Hoffman Kiln
technology against 1 borrower respectively upto
2012.
Future plan of Bank in project loan
It is expected that credit flow of Industrial sector
will increase by minimum 10 percent in the coming
year. Credit facilities will be extended in
establishing power plant, information technology,
dairy & poultry, hospitals/clinics, solar energy,
bio-gas , effluent treatment plant and plants like
Hybrid Hoffman Kiln (HHK) for brick field all of
which are priority sectors and
environment-friendly. Furthermore, the Bank will

j) Loan Classification and Provisioning
Reduction in the number and value of classified
loans and advances has been overriding priority of
the Bank, along with maintaining a commensurate
provision. A range of steps were taken to achieve
the optimum result. The main focus was on the
intensive and strict follow-up in respect of recovery
of previous classified and overdue loans along with
arresting new classification thereof. By the end of
2012, the total classified loan stood at Tk. 5,380.13
crore (25.30 percent of total loans and advances).
k) Loan Recovery Activities 2012
To reduce the amount of classified loans, plans are
formed aiming at the Head office and grassroots
level. Activities are run to achieve the goal upon
setting targets at the beginning of the year.
Declaring November 2012 as classified loan
recovery month, special activities by 14 teams
comprising senior executives are run alongside the
regular activities to accelerate recovery of
classified loans. After visiting grassroots level, the
senior executives have issued special directives to
zonal & branch level for taking effective measures
for recovering classified loan. Besides, 5
non-government debt collection agents have been
deployed to recover written-off loans. As a result of
the measures taken, there was a significant
progress in recovering default-loans in the last
quarter of the year.

31.12.2012 stood at Tk. 21,266.30 crore. Against

Automation and Modernization
Development in ICT Sector
Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
has its direct impact on productivity and
competitiveness in both domestic and international
markets. We are proud that Agrani Bank Limited
was the first among the commercial banks in this
country to introduce computer-based technology
back in 1968. It started its journey from 1968, using
IBM midrange computer. Since then amidst
increasingly fierce competition, the efficiency gains
and the speed of IT have offered us the opportunity
to open up new sources of advanced, innovative
products and improved customer services.
Sufficient allocation will be made for hardware and
software to ensure complete implementation of our
ambitious plans for the increased use of ICT and
Management Information Systems (MIS).

Branch Computerization
Agrani Bank Limited has grown significantly over
the years in branch automation. Till date 863
branches out of its total 889 branches are
computerized by using LAN based Branch
Banking Software. These software have been
supplied by various renowned software vendors of
the country. The major functionalities of the branch
banking software are:
a) General Banking- Deposit, Inland remittance,
GL/PL.
b) Credit- All kinds of commercial loans and staff
loans.
Most of the banking activities can be carried out
using these software. Bank provides continuous
training for the users of these software. Now, all
the branches are providing computer services with
internet connectivity along with 'Online Foreign
Remittance Payment Software' and Online
payment system of Western Union, MoneyGram
etc. capable of making instant payment of foreign
remittance to the beneficiaries and preparing daily
Statement of Affairs and Profit and Loss Statement
besides making other day-to-day
correspondences.
Online Banking
IT-based banking has a major role to play in
rendering improved services to the valued
customers and stakeholders in today's competitive
banking environment. The Bank has taken various
measures for automation of its functions and
services. One of the major steps is installation of
fully integrated online core Banking Solution (T24
by Temenos). It began in 2010 with two pilot
branches and now it has progressed further and as
of December 2012, 108 major branches of the
bank are operating using this software. It should be
mentioned that T24 software is rated number one
core banking software all over the world. For this
purpose, a state of the art data center equipped
with most modern hardware, database,
connectivity and all other facilities was established
in Head office. Besides, a Disaster Recovery Site
(DRS) was rented at Mohakhali where a true

replica of data center is established. The hardware
related to data center and DRS has been set up
with a capacity to handle all the online branches of
the Bank. Again, to handle such a big customer
base, Oracle database was chosen. A Wide Area
Network (WAN) covering 160 branches was setup
to facilitate online service. Two redundant network
lines were setup for all these branches.
The Core Banking Software (CBS) has four major
functional areas. These are:
a) Retail Module: All the functionalities of general
banking like SB, CD, FDR, SND, APS, ABS,
DD, PO/PS etc. are covered under this
module.
b) Credit module: All kinds of credit operation like
CC, OD, consumer loan, staff loan are
handled using this module.
c) Trade finance: All activities relating to foreign
exchange can be handled under this module.
d) Treasury module: All treasury functions i.e.
security, money market, and investment are
covered under this module. Also, centralized
Head Office GL is incorporated with Treasury
Module.
All the modules of T24 have been customized as
per existing business processes and rules of the
bank considering the guidelines of Bangladesh
bank.
For all kinds of automation activities, the Bank has
deployed human resources in the major areas
from the existing manpower. Presently,, two teams
i.e. business team and technical team are working.
The business team was formed choosing experts
from each and every functional area i.e. general
banking, credit, trade finance and treasury. The
technical team comprised of the experts of
hardware, database, operating system, network,
online banking software. For capacity building,
they were given adequate training to make them
capable of handling all the activities to run a core
banking software smoothly.
Gradually, all the branches of the bank will be
brought under online system. Introduction of T24
software will ensure services like internet banking,
ATM banking, mobile banking etc. to the
customers.

Online Banking
IT-based banking has a major role to play in
rendering improved services to the valued
customers and stakeholders in today's competitive
banking environment. The Bank has taken various
measures for automation of its functions and

branches and now it has progressed further and as
of December 2012, 108 major branches of the
bank are operating using this software. It should be
mentioned that T24 software is rated number one
core banking software all over the world. For this

to facilitate online service. Two redundant network
lines were setup for all these branches.
The Core Banking Software (CBS) has four major
functional areas. These are:
a) Retail Module: All the functionalities of general
banking like SB, CD, FDR, SND, APS, ABS,
DD, PO/PS etc. are covered under this
module.

All the modules of T24 have been customized as
per existing business processes and rules of the
bank considering the guidelines of Bangladesh
bank.
For all kinds of automation activities, the Bank has
deployed human resources in the major areas
from the existing manpower. Presently,, two teams
i.e. business team and technical team are working.
The business team was formed choosing experts
from each and every functional area i.e. general

technical team comprised of the experts of
hardware, database, operating system, network,
online banking software. For capacity building,
they were given adequate training to make them

Branch Computerization
Agrani Bank Limited has grown significantly over
the years in branch automation. Till date 863
branches out of its total 889 branches are
computerized by using LAN based Branch
Banking Software. These software have been
supplied by various renowned software vendors of
the country. The major functionalities of the branch
banking software are:
a) General Banking- Deposit, Inland remittance,
GL/PL.
b) Credit- All kinds of commercial loans and staff
loans.
Most of the banking activities can be carried out
using these software. Bank provides continuous
training for the users of these software. Now, all
the branches are providing computer services with
internet connectivity along with 'Online Foreign
Remittance Payment Software' and Online
payment system of Western Union, MoneyGram
etc. capable of making instant payment of foreign
remittance to the beneficiaries and preparing daily
Statement of Affairs and Profit and Loss Statement
besides making other day-to-day
correspondences.
Online Banking
IT-based banking has a major role to play in
rendering improved services to the valued
customers and stakeholders in today's competitive
banking environment. The Bank has taken various
measures for automation of its functions and
services. One of the major steps is installation of
fully integrated online core Banking Solution (T24
by Temenos). It began in 2010 with two pilot
branches and now it has progressed further and as
of December 2012, 108 major branches of the
bank are operating using this software. It should be
mentioned that T24 software is rated number one
core banking software all over the world. For this
purpose, a state of the art data center equipped
with most modern hardware, database,
connectivity and all other facilities was established
in Head office. Besides, a Disaster Recovery Site
(DRS) was rented at Mohakhali where a true

replica of data center is established. The hardware
related to data center and DRS has been set up
with a capacity to handle all the online branches of
the Bank. Again, to handle such a big customer
base, Oracle database was chosen. A Wide Area
Network (WAN) covering 160 branches was setup
to facilitate online service. Two redundant network
lines were setup for all these branches.
The Core Banking Software (CBS) has four major
functional areas. These are:
a) Retail Module: All the functionalities of general
banking like SB, CD, FDR, SND, APS, ABS,
DD, PO/PS etc. are covered under this
module.
b) Credit module: All kinds of credit operation like
CC, OD, consumer loan, staff loan are
handled using this module.
c) Trade finance: All activities relating to foreign
exchange can be handled under this module.
d) Treasury module: All treasury functions i.e.
security, money market, and investment are
covered under this module. Also, centralized
Head Office GL is incorporated with Treasury
Module.
All the modules of T24 have been customized as
per existing business processes and rules of the
bank considering the guidelines of Bangladesh
bank.
For all kinds of automation activities, the Bank has
deployed human resources in the major areas
from the existing manpower. Presently,, two teams
i.e. business team and technical team are working.
The business team was formed choosing experts
from each and every functional area i.e. general
banking, credit, trade finance and treasury. The
technical team comprised of the experts of
hardware, database, operating system, network,
online banking software. For capacity building,
they were given adequate training to make them
capable of handling all the activities to run a core
banking software smoothly.
Gradually, all the branches of the bank will be
brought under online system. Introduction of T24
software will ensure services like internet banking,
ATM banking, mobile banking etc. to the
customers.

Branch Computerization
Agrani Bank Limited has grown significantly over
the years in branch automation. Till date 863
branches out of its total 889 branches are
computerized by using LAN based Branch
Banking Software. These software have been
supplied by various renowned software vendors of
the country. The major functionalities of the branch
banking software are:
a) General Banking- Deposit, Inland remittance,
GL/PL.
b) Credit- All kinds of commercial loans and staff
loans.
Most of the banking activities can be carried out
using these software. Bank provides continuous
training for the users of these software. Now, all
the branches are providing computer services with
internet connectivity along with 'Online Foreign
Remittance Payment Software' and Online
payment system of Western Union, MoneyGram
etc. capable of making instant payment of foreign
remittance to the beneficiaries and preparing daily
Statement of Affairs and Profit and Loss Statement
besides making other day-to-day
correspondences.
Online Banking
IT-based banking has a major role to play in
rendering improved services to the valued
customers and stakeholders in today's competitive
banking environment. The Bank has taken various
measures for automation of its functions and
services. One of the major steps is installation of
fully integrated online core Banking Solution (T24
by Temenos). It began in 2010 with two pilot
branches and now it has progressed further and as
of December 2012, 108 major branches of the
bank are operating using this software. It should be
mentioned that T24 software is rated number one
core banking software all over the world. For this
purpose, a state of the art data center equipped
with most modern hardware, database,
connectivity and all other facilities was established
in Head office. Besides, a Disaster Recovery Site
(DRS) was rented at Mohakhali where a true

replica of data center is established. The hardware
related to data center and DRS has been set up
with a capacity to handle all the online branches of
the Bank. Again, to handle such a big customer
base, Oracle database was chosen. A Wide Area
Network (WAN) covering 160 branches was setup
to facilitate online service. Two redundant network
lines were setup for all these branches.
The Core Banking Software (CBS) has four major
functional areas. These are:
a) Retail Module: All the functionalities of general
banking like SB, CD, FDR, SND, APS, ABS,
DD, PO/PS etc. are covered under this
module.
b) Credit module: All kinds of credit operation like
CC, OD, consumer loan, staff loan are
handled using this module.
c) Trade finance: All activities relating to foreign
exchange can be handled under this module.
d) Treasury module: All treasury functions i.e.
security, money market, and investment are
covered under this module. Also, centralized
Head Office GL is incorporated with Treasury
Module.
All the modules of T24 have been customized as
per existing business processes and rules of the
bank considering the guidelines of Bangladesh
bank.
For all kinds of automation activities, the Bank has
deployed human resources in the major areas
from the existing manpower. Presently,, two teams
i.e. business team and technical team are working.
The business team was formed choosing experts
from each and every functional area i.e. general
banking, credit, trade finance and treasury. The
technical team comprised of the experts of
hardware, database, operating system, network,
online banking software. For capacity building,
they were given adequate training to make them
capable of handling all the activities to run a core
banking software smoothly.
Gradually, all the branches of the bank will be
brought under online system. Introduction of T24
software will ensure services like internet banking,
ATM banking, mobile banking etc. to the
customers.

replica of data center is established. The hardware
related to data center and DRS has been set up
with a capacity to handle all the online branches of
the Bank. Again, to handle such a big customer
base, Oracle database was chosen. A Wide Area
Network (WAN) covering 160 branches was setup
to facilitate online service. Two redundant network
lines were setup for all these branches.
The Core Banking Software (CBS) has four major
functional areas. These are:
a) Retail Module: All the functionalities of general
banking like SB, CD, FDR, SND, APS, ABS,
DD, PO/PS etc. are covered under this
module.
b) Credit module: All kinds of credit operation like
CC, OD, consumer loan, staff loan are
handled using this module.
c) Trade finance: All activities relating to foreign
exchange can be handled under this module.
d) Treasury module: All treasury functions i.e.
security, money market, and investment are
covered under this module. Also, centralized
Head Office GL is incorporated with Treasury
Module.
All the modules of T24 have been customized as
per existing business processes and rules of the
bank considering the guidelines of Bangladesh
bank.
For all kinds of automation activities, the Bank has
deployed human resources in the major areas
from the existing manpower. Presently,, two teams
i.e. business team and technical team are working.
The business team was formed choosing experts
from each and every functional area i.e. general
banking, credit, trade finance and treasury. The
technical team comprised of the experts of
hardware, database, operating system, network,
online banking software. For capacity building,
they were given adequate training to make them
capable of handling all the activities to run a core
banking software smoothly.
Gradually, all the branches of the bank will be
brought under online system. Introduction of T24
software will ensure services like internet banking,
ATM banking, mobile banking etc. to the
customers.

Branch Computerization
Agrani Bank Limited has grown significantly over
the years in branch automation. Till date 863
branches out of its total 889 branches are
computerized by using LAN based Branch
Banking Software. These software have been
supplied by various renowned software vendors of
the country. The major functionalities of the branch
banking software are:
a) General Banking- Deposit, Inland remittance,
GL/PL.
b) Credit- All kinds of commercial loans and staff
loans.
Most of the banking activities can be carried out
using these software. Bank provides continuous
training for the users of these software. Now, all
the branches are providing computer services with
internet connectivity along with 'Online Foreign
Remittance Payment Software' and Online
payment system of Western Union, MoneyGram
etc. capable of making instant payment of foreign
remittance to the beneficiaries and preparing daily
Statement of Affairs and Profit and Loss Statement
besides making other day-to-day
correspondences.
Online Banking
IT-based banking has a major role to play in
rendering improved services to the valued
customers and stakeholders in today's competitive
banking environment. The Bank has taken various
measures for automation of its functions and
services. One of the major steps is installation of
fully integrated online core Banking Solution (T24
by Temenos). It began in 2010 with two pilot
branches and now it has progressed further and as
of December 2012, 108 major branches of the
bank are operating using this software. It should be
mentioned that T24 software is rated number one
core banking software all over the world. For this
purpose, a state of the art data center equipped
with most modern hardware, database,
connectivity and all other facilities was established
in Head office. Besides, a Disaster Recovery Site
(DRS) was rented at Mohakhali where a true

replica of data center is established. The hardware
related to data center and DRS has been set up
with a capacity to handle all the online branches of
the Bank. Again, to handle such a big customer
base, Oracle database was chosen. A Wide Area
Network (WAN) covering 160 branches was setup
to facilitate online service. Two redundant network
lines were setup for all these branches.
The Core Banking Software (CBS) has four major
functional areas. These are:
a) Retail Module: All the functionalities of general
banking like SB, CD, FDR, SND, APS, ABS,
DD, PO/PS etc. are covered under this
module.
b) Credit module: All kinds of credit operation like
CC, OD, consumer loan, staff loan are
handled using this module.
c) Trade finance: All activities relating to foreign
exchange can be handled under this module.
d) Treasury module: All treasury functions i.e.
security, money market, and investment are
covered under this module. Also, centralized
Head Office GL is incorporated with Treasury
Module.
All the modules of T24 have been customized as
per existing business processes and rules of the
bank considering the guidelines of Bangladesh
bank.
For all kinds of automation activities, the Bank has
deployed human resources in the major areas
from the existing manpower. Presently,, two teams
i.e. business team and technical team are working.
The business team was formed choosing experts
from each and every functional area i.e. general
banking, credit, trade finance and treasury. The
technical team comprised of the experts of
hardware, database, operating system, network,
online banking software. For capacity building,
they were given adequate training to make them
capable of handling all the activities to run a core
banking software smoothly.
Gradually, all the branches of the bank will be
brought under online system. Introduction of T24
software will ensure services like internet banking,
ATM banking, mobile banking etc. to the
customers.

Annual Report 2012 117
To instruct, monitor and modify audit activities; the
Board Audit Committee has been re-arranged
consisting of 5 Directors as Committee Member.
The Board Audit Committee reviews the internal
and external audit reports and ensures that the
management takes effective measures in case any
deficiency or lapses is found in the internal control
system.
The Bank has been coducting 'Risk Based Internal
Audit' (RBIA) through analyzing Core Risk factors
in the daily activities of the Bank to assess the
business risk as well as control risk associated
with the branches. In setting out a strong internal
control framework within the organization, the
Bank has already brought out its Internal Control
Manual. It focuses on monitoring the functions of
various departments/divisions of Head Office and
branches of the Bank periodically on regular basis.
In 2012 Audit & Inspection Division conducted
comprehensive audit in 510 branches, 27
Corporate Branches, 13 Authorized Dealer
Branches, 15 Zonal Offices and 3 Divisions/
Departments at Head Office of the Bank. In the
same year the internal audit team carried out 12
spot audits and special audits in different branches
on different issues. Total number of audits were
580 during the year 2012.
Each year the Audit & Inspection Division sets out
an audit plan (internal) for the year which is
approved by the Board Audit Committee. Annual
Audit plan for the year 2013 approved by the Board
is as under:

Business Risk Management
By nature, risks are extremely unpredictable. This
makes it urgent for the Bank to evolve its risk
management strategy in a way that best protects
our interests against any insidious transactions. As
such, the Bank has introduced Risk Management
Manuals in six areas, according to the instruction
of central bank. These are: Credit Risk, Forex
Management Risk, Asset Liability Management
(ALM) Risk, Internal Control and Compliance (ICC)
Risk, Money Laundering (ML) Risk and IT Security
Risk. The Bank recognises the risks and takes
action to manage various risks posed by the
ever-changing business environment.
The Bank has established risk management policy
which is intended to balance risk against returns
and will comprise of six broad processes as
follows:
a) Credit Risk
The Credit Risk Management Manual has been
revised. It serves as a guide to effectively avert risks
involved in lending activities of the Bank. We have
put into practice the concepts of front, middle and
back offices to ensure segregation of duties that
calls for each individuals precise responsibilities
within the area he performs. The Credit Risk
Grading System (CRG) has been introduced for
making proper lending decision. All credit officers
have been trained and groomed on CRG system,
including their superiors at controlling offices. A
Credit Committee (CRECOM) has been formed at
Head Office to oversee and scrutinise risks involved
in the process and give final recommendation in
each credit proposal. Special attention was given
for recovery and other action in the case of
downgraded large loan borrowers.
b) Foreign Exchange Management Risk
Foreign exchange risks arise from the variation in
rates of exchange that prevail at domestic and
international markets. Fund Management Division
handles the forex and money market operations,
including treasury function with maximum efficiency.
c) Asset Liability Management Risk
The Banks Asset Liability Committee (ALCOM)
continued to sit at its meeting regularly to review
both the opportunities and threats to its liquidity

and balance sheet positions as well as positions of
maturing assets and liquidity contingency plan.
The Bank kept its liquidity at satisfactory level to
cater to the needs of all types of customers.
d) Internal Control and Compliance Risk
Internal Control and Compliance plays a vital role
in a financial institution. It is a review process of
operations & records of an organization. Well
devised internal control ensures that the aims and
objectives of the Bank are being met and the bank
achieves long term profitability. In the light of the
guidelines of the central bank and based on
learning from the past, ABL follows risk
management guidelines to identify, evaluate and
control risks arising from banking activities.
Accordingly, ABL has already taken effective
measures for control and compliance and for
updating existing Internal Control and Compliance
Risk Manual to strengthen Internal Control and
Comliance Division of ABL. The Bank has already
started a special program to perform risk based
audit in all of its AD & Corporate branches. Under
this program, a good number of branches has
been audited.
Internal control is an integral part of an
organizations business policies. It helps to reduce
waste, complexity and inefficiency. It ensures
accuracy and reliability in accounting to secure
compliance with the policies of the organization
and to evaluate the level of performance in all the
organizational units.
ICC Division ensures its internal control process
through review of Departmental Control Functions
Check List (DCFCL), Loan Documentation Check
List (LDCL) and Quality Operations Report (QOR)
of the branches and other mechanisms. Internal
Control and Compliance Division continuously
tests the internal control mechanisms of the whole
banking operation and reviews the results of all
kinds of internal, external, commercial and the
central banks audits, including the management's
responses to their findings.
e) Money Laundering Risk
The Bank continues its anti-money laundering
stance with an emphasis to bring all the branches
under exhaustive training programs inside and
outside the Bank. In 2010, total 209 Officers and
Staff were trained on prevention of Money

(TP), Cash Transaction Report (CTR) and
Suspicious Transaction Report (STR), if any, and
branch wise list of Anti Money Laundering
Compliance Officers (BAMLCO) are sent to
Bangladesh Bank.
f) ICT Security Risk
For the increased use of ICT it became necessary
to be more careful to address the risks associated
with ICT security. The bank has formulated
well-defined ICT Policy in line with the international
best practices and prudential guidelines of
Bangladesh Bank on ICT security. It has an
implementation manual for users at all levels in
conformity with the ICT policy. An ICT Audit
Manual has been prepared and is in use for
auditing ICT activities of the Bank to assure that
the policy and the procedures are strictly followed.
Credit Rating
In 2011, the Bank appointed Credit Rating
Information and Services Limited (CRISL), for
credit rating of the Bank as per directives of
Bangladesh Bank. The rating company assigned
AAA to the Bank in the long run and ST-1 in the
short term. This rating has been done in
consideration of the guarantee of the Government
of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh being the
highest risk-free entity. Financial Institutions rated
in this category have the best quality, offer highest
safety and have the highest credit quality.
However, the Bank's entity rating (as stand alone
commercial bank) has been improving over the
years, as will be evident from below:

Implementation of Basel II
The Bank has been implementing BASEL-II
Accord since 2010, placing heavy reliance on
internal risk assessment and management
techniques for the purpose of quantifying and
allocating capital for credit, market and operational
risks. Continued success of a bank depends on its
ability to prepare for unexpected and potentially
much less favorable events and outcomes. The
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS)
has published a new framework for calculating
minimum capital requirement, consisting of 3
pillars, known as Basel II.
Following the suggestions from the National
Steering Committee, continuous training was
provided to the staff members of various
departments. The newly formed Core Risk
Management and Basel II Implementation Division
is responsible for overall supervision of Basel II
implementation of the Bank. The Bank so far
provided training to the Executives and Officers of
the Bank on Basel-II with the assistance of
Bangladesh Bank, BIBM and Banks own experts.

corporate governance standards for attaining its
operational goals. The collective role of the Board

governance practices. The activities of the Bank
are always conducted in adherence to highest
possible ethical standards for the best interest of
the stakeholders.

Human Resources Management

Human resources is the real capital of our Bank.
We consider the human recource as a tool for our
development. We always give due recognition to
the contribution made by the officers and staff
members. Following corporatization, the Banks
key strategy is to set a new standard towards the
full range of exploration and development of our
human resources. We are attaching much
importance to quality, skill, creativity and
professionalism. Due consideration is given to
dutifulness, merit, seniority and management skill
at the time of promotion.
a) Organogram
Corporatization has necesseciated the Bank to
restructure its existing organogram. As such,
necessary steps have been taken to redefine the
portfolios and functional jurisdictions of GMs,
DGMs and Heads of Zones.
b) HR Planning:
Recruitment, Promotion and Departure
Human Resource is the most valuable asset of an
organization. ABL is more conscious about the
best utilization of its human resources. The
success of any organization depends on the
proper posting of right man in right jobs, efficient
and effective management of the human
resources. HR Planning Division is doing some
work in the name of human resource

opportunity to enhance the knowledge base of all
employees. A structured training and development
program ensures that employees have a
consistent experience and background
knowledge. With this point of view, Agrani Bank
Training Institute (ABTI) was established in 1976
and since then ABTI is entrusted with the
responsibility of designing course curriculum,
reading materials, and course contents for
conducting training for the purpose of enhancing
professionalism and administrative efficiency of
the executives and officers of the bank.

Contribution to the National Economy
The Bank plays an important role in the
development of rural economy. It has got 889
branches across the country. The Bank operates
many branches in the remote areas to provide the
banking services to the rural people, though
operations of those branches are not financially
viable to the Bank. It also plays an important role in
reducing unemployment problem by way of
participating in different employment generation
activities. At the end of 2012, the total number of
employees stood at 13,890 of which 9,917 were
officers and 3,973 were staff members. Since its
beginning, the Bank has been highly active in
remittance operations to facilitate disbursement of
remittances received from Bangladeshi wage
earners working abroad. The remitted money can
now be deposited to the beneficiaries account
within maximum 24 hours. The introduction of
on-line distribution of remittances has generated
much enthusiasm among the expatriate
Bangladeshi workers.
Outlook for 2013
In spite of tremendous competitions and
challenges, the Bank has made progress in almost
all spheres of business. To meet the challenges
and to stay competitive, it has upgraded the skills
of its workforce and to introduce automation where
possible, in its operation. It will continue to focus
on achieving steady growth, by upgrading the
quality of assets, augmenting interest and
rendering quality service and operation.
The bank will constantly persuit the policies of
recruitment of skilled manpower, good corporate
governance practices, and sound risk
management. We will make every effort to earn
high operating profit, maintain minimum capital
adequacy, bring classified loan at a minimum level
and to do best in all sectors including deposit,
credit, import, export, remittance, cost of fund etc.
Moreover, we want to make utmost contribution to
the society in which we operate.

To instruct, monitor and modify audit activities; the
Board Audit Committee has been re-arranged
consisting of 5 Directors as Committee Member.
The Board Audit Committee reviews the internal
and external audit reports and ensures that the
management takes effective measures in case any
deficiency or lapses is found in the internal control
system.
The Bank has been coducting 'Risk Based Internal
Audit' (RBIA) through analyzing Core Risk factors
in the daily activities of the Bank to assess the
business risk as well as control risk associated
with the branches. In setting out a strong internal
control framework within the organization, the
Bank has already brought out its Internal Control
Manual. It focuses on monitoring the functions of
various departments/divisions of Head Office and
branches of the Bank periodically on regular basis.
In 2012 Audit & Inspection Division conducted
comprehensive audit in 510 branches, 27
Corporate Branches, 13 Authorized Dealer
Branches, 15 Zonal Offices and 3 Divisions/
Departments at Head Office of the Bank. In the
same year the internal audit team carried out 12
spot audits and special audits in different branches
on different issues. Total number of audits were
580 during the year 2012.
Each year the Audit & Inspection Division sets out
an audit plan (internal) for the year which is
approved by the Board Audit Committee. Annual
Audit plan for the year 2013 approved by the Board
is as under:

Business Risk Management
By nature, risks are extremely unpredictable. This
makes it urgent for the Bank to evolve its risk
management strategy in a way that best protects
our interests against any insidious transactions. As
such, the Bank has introduced Risk Management
Manuals in six areas, according to the instruction
of central bank. These are: Credit Risk, Forex
Management Risk, Asset Liability Management
(ALM) Risk, Internal Control and Compliance (ICC)
Risk, Money Laundering (ML) Risk and IT Security
Risk. The Bank recognises the risks and takes
action to manage various risks posed by the
ever-changing business environment.
The Bank has established risk management policy
which is intended to balance risk against returns
and will comprise of six broad processes as
follows:
a) Credit Risk
The Credit Risk Management Manual has been
revised. It serves as a guide to effectively avert risks
involved in lending activities of the Bank. We have
put into practice the concepts of front, middle and
back offices to ensure segregation of duties that
calls for each individuals precise responsibilities
within the area he performs. The Credit Risk
Grading System (CRG) has been introduced for
making proper lending decision. All credit officers
have been trained and groomed on CRG system,
including their superiors at controlling offices. A
Credit Committee (CRECOM) has been formed at
Head Office to oversee and scrutinise risks involved
in the process and give final recommendation in
each credit proposal. Special attention was given
for recovery and other action in the case of
downgraded large loan borrowers.
b) Foreign Exchange Management Risk
Foreign exchange risks arise from the variation in
rates of exchange that prevail at domestic and
international markets. Fund Management Division
handles the forex and money market operations,
including treasury function with maximum efficiency.
c) Asset Liability Management Risk
The Banks Asset Liability Committee (ALCOM)
continued to sit at its meeting regularly to review
both the opportunities and threats to its liquidity

and balance sheet positions as well as positions of
maturing assets and liquidity contingency plan.
The Bank kept its liquidity at satisfactory level to
cater to the needs of all types of customers.
d) Internal Control and Compliance Risk
Internal Control and Compliance plays a vital role
in a financial institution. It is a review process of
operations & records of an organization. Well
devised internal control ensures that the aims and
objectives of the Bank are being met and the bank
achieves long term profitability. In the light of the
guidelines of the central bank and based on
learning from the past, ABL follows risk
management guidelines to identify, evaluate and
control risks arising from banking activities.
Accordingly, ABL has already taken effective
measures for control and compliance and for
updating existing Internal Control and Compliance
Risk Manual to strengthen Internal Control and
Comliance Division of ABL. The Bank has already

f) ICT Security Risk
For the increased use of ICT it became necessary
to be more careful to address the risks associated
with ICT security. The bank has formulated
well-defined ICT Policy in line with the international
best practices and prudential guidelines of
Bangladesh Bank on ICT security. It has an
implementation manual for users at all levels in
conformity with the ICT policy. An ICT Audit
Manual has been prepared and is in use for
auditing ICT activities of the Bank to assure that
the policy and the procedures are strictly followed.
Credit Rating
In 2011, the Bank appointed Credit Rating
Information and Services Limited (CRISL), for
credit rating of the Bank as per directives of
Bangladesh Bank. The rating company assigned
AAA to the Bank in the long run and ST-1 in the
short term. This rating has been done in
consideration of the guarantee of the Government
of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh being the
highest risk-free entity. Financial Institutions rated
in this category have the best quality, offer highest
safety and have the highest credit quality.
However, the Bank's entity rating (as stand alone
commercial bank) has been improving over the
years, as will be evident from below:

Implementation of Basel II
The Bank has been implementing BASEL-II
Accord since 2010, placing heavy reliance on
internal risk assessment and management
techniques for the purpose of quantifying and
allocating capital for credit, market and operational
risks. Continued success of a bank depends on its
ability to prepare for unexpected and potentially
much less favorable events and outcomes. The
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS)
has published a new framework for calculating
minimum capital requirement, consisting of 3
pillars, known as Basel II.
Following the suggestions from the National
Steering Committee, continuous training was
provided to the staff members of various
departments. The newly formed Core Risk
Management and Basel II Implementation Division
is responsible for overall supervision of Basel II
implementation of the Bank. The Bank so far
provided training to the Executives and Officers of
the Bank on Basel-II with the assistance of
Bangladesh Bank, BIBM and Banks own experts.
Corporate Governance
The Bank is always committed to adopting highest
corporate governance standards for attaining its
operational goals. The collective role of the Board
of Directors, Managing Director and CEO and the
Committees is to ensure excellence in corporate
governance practices. The activities of the Bank
are always conducted in adherence to highest
possible ethical standards for the best interest of
the stakeholders.
CSR Activities
Agrani Bank Limited is committed to contribute
towards social development through its Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) program. ABLs ethical
standard is not only meant for maximising profit,
rather its vision is to build up a society where
human dignity and rights receive the highest

importance to quality, skill, creativity and
professionalism. Due consideration is given to
dutifulness, merit, seniority and management skill

necessary steps have been taken to redefine the
portfolios and functional jurisdictions of GMs,
DGMs and Heads of Zones.

organization. ABL is more conscious about the

Contribution to the National Economy
The Bank plays an important role in the
development of rural economy. It has got 889
branches across the country. The Bank operates
many branches in the remote areas to provide the
banking services to the rural people, though
operations of those branches are not financially
viable to the Bank. It also plays an important role in
reducing unemployment problem by way of
participating in different employment generation
activities. At the end of 2012, the total number of
employees stood at 13,890 of which 9,917 were
officers and 3,973 were staff members. Since its
beginning, the Bank has been highly active in
remittance operations to facilitate disbursement of
remittances received from Bangladeshi wage
earners working abroad. The remitted money can
now be deposited to the beneficiaries account
within maximum 24 hours. The introduction of
on-line distribution of remittances has generated
much enthusiasm among the expatriate
Bangladeshi workers.
Outlook for 2013
In spite of tremendous competitions and
challenges, the Bank has made progress in almost
all spheres of business. To meet the challenges
and to stay competitive, it has upgraded the skills
of its workforce and to introduce automation where
possible, in its operation. It will continue to focus
on achieving steady growth, by upgrading the
quality of assets, augmenting interest and
rendering quality service and operation.
The bank will constantly persuit the policies of
recruitment of skilled manpower, good corporate
governance practices, and sound risk
management. We will make every effort to earn
high operating profit, maintain minimum capital
adequacy, bring classified loan at a minimum level
and to do best in all sectors including deposit,
credit, import, export, remittance, cost of fund etc.

Annual Report 2012 119
To instruct, monitor and modify audit activities; the
Board Audit Committee has been re-arranged
consisting of 5 Directors as Committee Member.
The Board Audit Committee reviews the internal
and external audit reports and ensures that the
management takes effective measures in case any
deficiency or lapses is found in the internal control
system.
The Bank has been coducting 'Risk Based Internal
Audit' (RBIA) through analyzing Core Risk factors
in the daily activities of the Bank to assess the
business risk as well as control risk associated
with the branches. In setting out a strong internal
control framework within the organization, the
Bank has already brought out its Internal Control
Manual. It focuses on monitoring the functions of
various departments/divisions of Head Office and
branches of the Bank periodically on regular basis.
In 2012 Audit & Inspection Division conducted
comprehensive audit in 510 branches, 27
Corporate Branches, 13 Authorized Dealer
Branches, 15 Zonal Offices and 3 Divisions/
Departments at Head Office of the Bank. In the
same year the internal audit team carried out 12
spot audits and special audits in different branches
on different issues. Total number of audits were
580 during the year 2012.
Each year the Audit & Inspection Division sets out
an audit plan (internal) for the year which is
approved by the Board Audit Committee. Annual
Audit plan for the year 2013 approved by the Board
is as under:

Business Risk Management
By nature, risks are extremely unpredictable. This
makes it urgent for the Bank to evolve its risk
management strategy in a way that best protects
our interests against any insidious transactions. As
such, the Bank has introduced Risk Management
Manuals in six areas, according to the instruction
of central bank. These are: Credit Risk, Forex
Management Risk, Asset Liability Management
(ALM) Risk, Internal Control and Compliance (ICC)
Risk, Money Laundering (ML) Risk and IT Security
Risk. The Bank recognises the risks and takes
action to manage various risks posed by the
ever-changing business environment.
The Bank has established risk management policy
which is intended to balance risk against returns
and will comprise of six broad processes as
follows:
a) Credit Risk
The Credit Risk Management Manual has been
revised. It serves as a guide to effectively avert risks
involved in lending activities of the Bank. We have
put into practice the concepts of front, middle and
back offices to ensure segregation of duties that
calls for each individuals precise responsibilities
within the area he performs. The Credit Risk
Grading System (CRG) has been introduced for
making proper lending decision. All credit officers
have been trained and groomed on CRG system,
including their superiors at controlling offices. A
Credit Committee (CRECOM) has been formed at
Head Office to oversee and scrutinise risks involved
in the process and give final recommendation in
each credit proposal. Special attention was given
for recovery and other action in the case of
downgraded large loan borrowers.
b) Foreign Exchange Management Risk
Foreign exchange risks arise from the variation in
rates of exchange that prevail at domestic and
international markets. Fund Management Division
handles the forex and money market operations,
including treasury function with maximum efficiency.
c) Asset Liability Management Risk
The Banks Asset Liability Committee (ALCOM)
continued to sit at its meeting regularly to review
both the opportunities and threats to its liquidity

and balance sheet positions as well as positions of
maturing assets and liquidity contingency plan.
The Bank kept its liquidity at satisfactory level to
cater to the needs of all types of customers.
d) Internal Control and Compliance Risk
Internal Control and Compliance plays a vital role
in a financial institution. It is a review process of
operations & records of an organization. Well
devised internal control ensures that the aims and
objectives of the Bank are being met and the bank
achieves long term profitability. In the light of the
guidelines of the central bank and based on
learning from the past, ABL follows risk
management guidelines to identify, evaluate and
control risks arising from banking activities.
Accordingly, ABL has already taken effective
measures for control and compliance and for
updating existing Internal Control and Compliance
Risk Manual to strengthen Internal Control and
Comliance Division of ABL. The Bank has already
started a special program to perform risk based
audit in all of its AD & Corporate branches. Under
this program, a good number of branches has
been audited.
Internal control is an integral part of an
organizations business policies. It helps to reduce
waste, complexity and inefficiency. It ensures
accuracy and reliability in accounting to secure
compliance with the policies of the organization
and to evaluate the level of performance in all the
organizational units.
ICC Division ensures its internal control process
through review of Departmental Control Functions
Check List (DCFCL), Loan Documentation Check
List (LDCL) and Quality Operations Report (QOR)
of the branches and other mechanisms. Internal
Control and Compliance Division continuously
tests the internal control mechanisms of the whole
banking operation and reviews the results of all
kinds of internal, external, commercial and the
central banks audits, including the management's
responses to their findings.
e) Money Laundering Risk
The Bank continues its anti-money laundering
stance with an emphasis to bring all the branches
under exhaustive training programs inside and
outside the Bank. In 2010, total 209 Officers and
Staff were trained on prevention of Money

Suspicious Transaction Report (STR), if any, and
branch wise list of Anti Money Laundering
Compliance Officers (BAMLCO) are sent to
Bangladesh Bank.
f) ICT Security Risk
For the increased use of ICT it became necessary
to be more careful to address the risks associated
with ICT security. The bank has formulated
well-defined ICT Policy in line with the international
best practices and prudential guidelines of
Bangladesh Bank on ICT security. It has an
implementation manual for users at all levels in
conformity with the ICT policy. An ICT Audit
Manual has been prepared and is in use for
auditing ICT activities of the Bank to assure that
the policy and the procedures are strictly followed.
Credit Rating
In 2011, the Bank appointed Credit Rating
Information and Services Limited (CRISL), for
credit rating of the Bank as per directives of
Bangladesh Bank. The rating company assigned
AAA to the Bank in the long run and ST-1 in the
short term. This rating has been done in
consideration of the guarantee of the Government
of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh being the
highest risk-free entity. Financial Institutions rated
in this category have the best quality, offer highest
safety and have the highest credit quality.
However, the Bank's entity rating (as stand alone
commercial bank) has been improving over the
years, as will be evident from below:

Implementation of Basel II
The Bank has been implementing BASEL-II
Accord since 2010, placing heavy reliance on
internal risk assessment and management
techniques for the purpose of quantifying and
allocating capital for credit, market and operational
risks. Continued success of a bank depends on its
ability to prepare for unexpected and potentially
much less favorable events and outcomes. The
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS)
has published a new framework for calculating
minimum capital requirement, consisting of 3
pillars, known as Basel II.
Following the suggestions from the National
Steering Committee, continuous training was
provided to the staff members of various
departments. The newly formed Core Risk
Management and Basel II Implementation Division
is responsible for overall supervision of Basel II
implementation of the Bank. The Bank so far
provided training to the Executives and Officers of
the Bank on Basel-II with the assistance of
Bangladesh Bank, BIBM and Banks own experts.

importance to quality, skill, creativity and
professionalism. Due consideration is given to
dutifulness, merit, seniority and management skill

necessary steps have been taken to redefine the
portfolios and functional jurisdictions of GMs,
DGMs and Heads of Zones.

Training Institute (ABTI) was established in 1976
and since then ABTI is entrusted with the
responsibility of designing course curriculum,
reading materials, and course contents for
conducting training for the purpose of enhancing
professionalism and administrative efficiency of
the executives and officers of the bank.
Since its inception in 1976 till 2012, ABTI has
covered a total number of 65,596
executives/officers/staff under different banners of

Contribution to the National Economy
The Bank plays an important role in the
development of rural economy. It has got 889
branches across the country. The Bank operates
many branches in the remote areas to provide the
banking services to the rural people, though
operations of those branches are not financially
viable to the Bank. It also plays an important role in
reducing unemployment problem by way of
participating in different employment generation
activities. At the end of 2012, the total number of
employees stood at 13,890 of which 9,917 were
officers and 3,973 were staff members. Since its
beginning, the Bank has been highly active in
remittance operations to facilitate disbursement of
remittances received from Bangladeshi wage
earners working abroad. The remitted money can
now be deposited to the beneficiaries account
within maximum 24 hours. The introduction of
on-line distribution of remittances has generated
much enthusiasm among the expatriate
Bangladeshi workers.
Outlook for 2013
In spite of tremendous competitions and
challenges, the Bank has made progress in almost
all spheres of business. To meet the challenges
and to stay competitive, it has upgraded the skills
of its workforce and to introduce automation where
possible, in its operation. It will continue to focus
on achieving steady growth, by upgrading the
quality of assets, augmenting interest and
rendering quality service and operation.
The bank will constantly persuit the policies of
recruitment of skilled manpower, good corporate
governance practices, and sound risk
management. We will make every effort to earn
high operating profit, maintain minimum capital
adequacy, bring classified loan at a minimum level
and to do best in all sectors including deposit,
credit, import, export, remittance, cost of fund etc.
Moreover, we want to make utmost contribution to
the society in which we operate.

To instruct, monitor and modify audit activities; the
Board Audit Committee has been re-arranged
consisting of 5 Directors as Committee Member.
The Board Audit Committee reviews the internal
and external audit reports and ensures that the
management takes effective measures in case any
deficiency or lapses is found in the internal control
system.
The Bank has been coducting 'Risk Based Internal
Audit' (RBIA) through analyzing Core Risk factors
in the daily activities of the Bank to assess the
business risk as well as control risk associated
with the branches. In setting out a strong internal
control framework within the organization, the
Bank has already brought out its Internal Control
Manual. It focuses on monitoring the functions of
various departments/divisions of Head Office and
branches of the Bank periodically on regular basis.
In 2012 Audit & Inspection Division conducted
comprehensive audit in 510 branches, 27
Corporate Branches, 13 Authorized Dealer
Branches, 15 Zonal Offices and 3 Divisions/
Departments at Head Office of the Bank. In the
same year the internal audit team carried out 12
spot audits and special audits in different branches
on different issues. Total number of audits were
580 during the year 2012.
Each year the Audit & Inspection Division sets out
an audit plan (internal) for the year which is
approved by the Board Audit Committee. Annual
Audit plan for the year 2013 approved by the Board
is as under:

Business Risk Management
By nature, risks are extremely unpredictable. This
makes it urgent for the Bank to evolve its risk
management strategy in a way that best protects
our interests against any insidious transactions. As
such, the Bank has introduced Risk Management
Manuals in six areas, according to the instruction
of central bank. These are: Credit Risk, Forex
Management Risk, Asset Liability Management
(ALM) Risk, Internal Control and Compliance (ICC)
Risk, Money Laundering (ML) Risk and IT Security
Risk. The Bank recognises the risks and takes
action to manage various risks posed by the
ever-changing business environment.
The Bank has established risk management policy
which is intended to balance risk against returns
and will comprise of six broad processes as
follows:
a) Credit Risk
The Credit Risk Management Manual has been
revised. It serves as a guide to effectively avert risks
involved in lending activities of the Bank. We have
put into practice the concepts of front, middle and
back offices to ensure segregation of duties that
calls for each individuals precise responsibilities
within the area he performs. The Credit Risk
Grading System (CRG) has been introduced for
making proper lending decision. All credit officers
have been trained and groomed on CRG system,
including their superiors at controlling offices. A
Credit Committee (CRECOM) has been formed at
Head Office to oversee and scrutinise risks involved
in the process and give final recommendation in
each credit proposal. Special attention was given
for recovery and other action in the case of
downgraded large loan borrowers.
b) Foreign Exchange Management Risk
Foreign exchange risks arise from the variation in
rates of exchange that prevail at domestic and
international markets. Fund Management Division
handles the forex and money market operations,
including treasury function with maximum efficiency.
c) Asset Liability Management Risk
The Banks Asset Liability Committee (ALCOM)
continued to sit at its meeting regularly to review
both the opportunities and threats to its liquidity

and balance sheet positions as well as positions of
maturing assets and liquidity contingency plan.
The Bank kept its liquidity at satisfactory level to
cater to the needs of all types of customers.
d) Internal Control and Compliance Risk
Internal Control and Compliance plays a vital role
in a financial institution. It is a review process of
operations & records of an organization. Well
devised internal control ensures that the aims and
objectives of the Bank are being met and the bank
achieves long term profitability. In the light of the
guidelines of the central bank and based on
learning from the past, ABL follows risk
management guidelines to identify, evaluate and
control risks arising from banking activities.
Accordingly, ABL has already taken effective
measures for control and compliance and for
updating existing Internal Control and Compliance
Risk Manual to strengthen Internal Control and
Comliance Division of ABL. The Bank has already
started a special program to perform risk based
audit in all of its AD & Corporate branches. Under
this program, a good number of branches has
been audited.
Internal control is an integral part of an
organizations business policies. It helps to reduce
waste, complexity and inefficiency. It ensures
accuracy and reliability in accounting to secure
compliance with the policies of the organization
and to evaluate the level of performance in all the
organizational units.
ICC Division ensures its internal control process
through review of Departmental Control Functions
Check List (DCFCL), Loan Documentation Check
List (LDCL) and Quality Operations Report (QOR)
of the branches and other mechanisms. Internal
Control and Compliance Division continuously
tests the internal control mechanisms of the whole
banking operation and reviews the results of all
kinds of internal, external, commercial and the
central banks audits, including the management's
responses to their findings.
e) Money Laundering Risk
The Bank continues its anti-money laundering
stance with an emphasis to bring all the branches
under exhaustive training programs inside and
outside the Bank. In 2010, total 209 Officers and
Staff were trained on prevention of Money

Compliance Officers (BAMLCO) are sent to

f) ICT Security Risk
For the increased use of ICT it became necessary
to be more careful to address the risks associated
with ICT security. The bank has formulated
well-defined ICT Policy in line with the international
best practices and prudential guidelines of
Bangladesh Bank on ICT security. It has an
implementation manual for users at all levels in
conformity with the ICT policy. An ICT Audit
Manual has been prepared and is in use for
auditing ICT activities of the Bank to assure that
the policy and the procedures are strictly followed.
Credit Rating
In 2011, the Bank appointed Credit Rating
Information and Services Limited (CRISL), for
credit rating of the Bank as per directives of
Bangladesh Bank. The rating company assigned
AAA to the Bank in the long run and ST-1 in the
short term. This rating has been done in
consideration of the guarantee of the Government
of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh being the
highest risk-free entity. Financial Institutions rated
in this category have the best quality, offer highest
safety and have the highest credit quality.
However, the Bank's entity rating (as stand alone
commercial bank) has been improving over the
years, as will be evident from below:

Implementation of Basel II
The Bank has been implementing BASEL-II
Accord since 2010, placing heavy reliance on
internal risk assessment and management
techniques for the purpose of quantifying and
allocating capital for credit, market and operational
risks. Continued success of a bank depends on its
ability to prepare for unexpected and potentially
much less favorable events and outcomes. The
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS)
has published a new framework for calculating
minimum capital requirement, consisting of 3
pillars, known as Basel II.
Following the suggestions from the National
Steering Committee, continuous training was
provided to the staff members of various
departments. The newly formed Core Risk
Management and Basel II Implementation Division
is responsible for overall supervision of Basel II
implementation of the Bank. The Bank so far
provided training to the Executives and Officers of
the Bank on Basel-II with the assistance of
Bangladesh Bank, BIBM and Banks own experts.
Corporate Governance
The Bank is always committed to adopting highest
corporate governance standards for attaining its
operational goals. The collective role of the Board
of Directors, Managing Director and CEO and the
Committees is to ensure excellence in corporate
governance practices. The activities of the Bank
are always conducted in adherence to highest
possible ethical standards for the best interest of
the stakeholders.
CSR Activities
Agrani Bank Limited is committed to contribute
towards social development through its Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) program. ABLs ethical

resources development. It presents a prime
opportunity to enhance the knowledge base of all
employees. A structured training and development
program ensures that employees have a
consistent experience and background
knowledge. With this point of view, Agrani Bank
Training Institute (ABTI) was established in 1976
and since then ABTI is entrusted with the
responsibility of designing course curriculum,
reading materials, and course contents for
conducting training for the purpose of enhancing
professionalism and administrative efficiency of
the executives and officers of the bank.
Since its inception in 1976 till 2012, ABTI has
covered a total number of 65,596
executives/officers/staff under different banners of
training through 2015 courses/ workshops. ABL
has covered 5,148 participants by conducting 143
courses/workshops in 2012 alone.
From the year 2009 to 2012 a huge number of
probationary officers is included in manpower of
ABL. To equip all of those with the banking
activities, ABTI undertook comprehensive program

Contribution to the National Economy
The Bank plays an important role in the
development of rural economy. It has got 889
branches across the country. The Bank operates
many branches in the remote areas to provide the
banking services to the rural people, though
operations of those branches are not financially
viable to the Bank. It also plays an important role in
reducing unemployment problem by way of
participating in different employment generation
activities. At the end of 2012, the total number of
employees stood at 13,890 of which 9,917 were
officers and 3,973 were staff members. Since its
beginning, the Bank has been highly active in
remittance operations to facilitate disbursement of
remittances received from Bangladeshi wage
earners working abroad. The remitted money can
now be deposited to the beneficiaries account
within maximum 24 hours. The introduction of
on-line distribution of remittances has generated
much enthusiasm among the expatriate
Bangladeshi workers.
Outlook for 2013
In spite of tremendous competitions and
challenges, the Bank has made progress in almost
all spheres of business. To meet the challenges
and to stay competitive, it has upgraded the skills
of its workforce and to introduce automation where
possible, in its operation. It will continue to focus
on achieving steady growth, by upgrading the
quality of assets, augmenting interest and
rendering quality service and operation.
The bank will constantly persuit the policies of
recruitment of skilled manpower, good corporate
governance practices, and sound risk
management. We will make every effort to earn
high operating profit, maintain minimum capital
adequacy, bring classified loan at a minimum level
and to do best in all sectors including deposit,
credit, import, export, remittance, cost of fund etc.
Moreover, we want to make utmost contribution to
the society in which we operate.

Annual Report 2012 121
To instruct, monitor and modify audit activities; the
Board Audit Committee has been re-arranged
consisting of 5 Directors as Committee Member.
The Board Audit Committee reviews the internal
and external audit reports and ensures that the
management takes effective measures in case any
deficiency or lapses is found in the internal control
system.
The Bank has been coducting 'Risk Based Internal
Audit' (RBIA) through analyzing Core Risk factors
in the daily activities of the Bank to assess the
business risk as well as control risk associated
with the branches. In setting out a strong internal
control framework within the organization, the
Bank has already brought out its Internal Control
Manual. It focuses on monitoring the functions of
various departments/divisions of Head Office and
branches of the Bank periodically on regular basis.
In 2012 Audit & Inspection Division conducted
comprehensive audit in 510 branches, 27
Corporate Branches, 13 Authorized Dealer
Branches, 15 Zonal Offices and 3 Divisions/
Departments at Head Office of the Bank. In the
same year the internal audit team carried out 12
spot audits and special audits in different branches
on different issues. Total number of audits were
580 during the year 2012.
Each year the Audit & Inspection Division sets out
an audit plan (internal) for the year which is
approved by the Board Audit Committee. Annual
Audit plan for the year 2013 approved by the Board
is as under:

Business Risk Management
By nature, risks are extremely unpredictable. This
makes it urgent for the Bank to evolve its risk
management strategy in a way that best protects
our interests against any insidious transactions. As
such, the Bank has introduced Risk Management
Manuals in six areas, according to the instruction
of central bank. These are: Credit Risk, Forex
Management Risk, Asset Liability Management
(ALM) Risk, Internal Control and Compliance (ICC)
Risk, Money Laundering (ML) Risk and IT Security
Risk. The Bank recognises the risks and takes
action to manage various risks posed by the
ever-changing business environment.
The Bank has established risk management policy
which is intended to balance risk against returns
and will comprise of six broad processes as
follows:
a) Credit Risk
The Credit Risk Management Manual has been
revised. It serves as a guide to effectively avert risks
involved in lending activities of the Bank. We have
put into practice the concepts of front, middle and
back offices to ensure segregation of duties that
calls for each individuals precise responsibilities
within the area he performs. The Credit Risk
Grading System (CRG) has been introduced for
making proper lending decision. All credit officers
have been trained and groomed on CRG system,
including their superiors at controlling offices. A
Credit Committee (CRECOM) has been formed at
Head Office to oversee and scrutinise risks involved
in the process and give final recommendation in
each credit proposal. Special attention was given
for recovery and other action in the case of
downgraded large loan borrowers.
b) Foreign Exchange Management Risk
Foreign exchange risks arise from the variation in
rates of exchange that prevail at domestic and
international markets. Fund Management Division
handles the forex and money market operations,
including treasury function with maximum efficiency.
c) Asset Liability Management Risk
The Banks Asset Liability Committee (ALCOM)
continued to sit at its meeting regularly to review
both the opportunities and threats to its liquidity

and balance sheet positions as well as positions of
maturing assets and liquidity contingency plan.
The Bank kept its liquidity at satisfactory level to
cater to the needs of all types of customers.
d) Internal Control and Compliance Risk
Internal Control and Compliance plays a vital role
in a financial institution. It is a review process of
operations & records of an organization. Well
devised internal control ensures that the aims and
objectives of the Bank are being met and the bank
achieves long term profitability. In the light of the
guidelines of the central bank and based on
learning from the past, ABL follows risk
management guidelines to identify, evaluate and
control risks arising from banking activities.
Accordingly, ABL has already taken effective
measures for control and compliance and for
updating existing Internal Control and Compliance
Risk Manual to strengthen Internal Control and
Comliance Division of ABL. The Bank has already
started a special program to perform risk based
audit in all of its AD & Corporate branches. Under
this program, a good number of branches has
been audited.
Internal control is an integral part of an
organizations business policies. It helps to reduce
waste, complexity and inefficiency. It ensures
accuracy and reliability in accounting to secure
compliance with the policies of the organization
and to evaluate the level of performance in all the
organizational units.
ICC Division ensures its internal control process
through review of Departmental Control Functions
Check List (DCFCL), Loan Documentation Check
List (LDCL) and Quality Operations Report (QOR)
of the branches and other mechanisms. Internal
Control and Compliance Division continuously
tests the internal control mechanisms of the whole
banking operation and reviews the results of all
kinds of internal, external, commercial and the
central banks audits, including the management's
responses to their findings.
e) Money Laundering Risk
The Bank continues its anti-money laundering
stance with an emphasis to bring all the branches
under exhaustive training programs inside and
outside the Bank. In 2010, total 209 Officers and
Staff were trained on prevention of Money

Compliance Officers (BAMLCO) are sent to
Bangladesh Bank.
f) ICT Security Risk
For the increased use of ICT it became necessary
to be more careful to address the risks associated
with ICT security. The bank has formulated
well-defined ICT Policy in line with the international
best practices and prudential guidelines of
Bangladesh Bank on ICT security. It has an
implementation manual for users at all levels in
conformity with the ICT policy. An ICT Audit
Manual has been prepared and is in use for
auditing ICT activities of the Bank to assure that
the policy and the procedures are strictly followed.
Credit Rating
In 2011, the Bank appointed Credit Rating
Information and Services Limited (CRISL), for
credit rating of the Bank as per directives of
Bangladesh Bank. The rating company assigned
AAA to the Bank in the long run and ST-1 in the
short term. This rating has been done in
consideration of the guarantee of the Government
of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh being the
highest risk-free entity. Financial Institutions rated
in this category have the best quality, offer highest
safety and have the highest credit quality.
However, the Bank's entity rating (as stand alone
commercial bank) has been improving over the
years, as will be evident from below:

Implementation of Basel II
The Bank has been implementing BASEL-II
Accord since 2010, placing heavy reliance on
internal risk assessment and management
techniques for the purpose of quantifying and
allocating capital for credit, market and operational
risks. Continued success of a bank depends on its
ability to prepare for unexpected and potentially
much less favorable events and outcomes. The
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS)
has published a new framework for calculating
minimum capital requirement, consisting of 3
pillars, known as Basel II.
Following the suggestions from the National
Steering Committee, continuous training was
provided to the staff members of various
departments. The newly formed Core Risk
Management and Basel II Implementation Division
is responsible for overall supervision of Basel II
implementation of the Bank. The Bank so far
provided training to the Executives and Officers of
the Bank on Basel-II with the assistance of
Bangladesh Bank, BIBM and Banks own experts.
Corporate Governance
The Bank is always committed to adopting highest
corporate governance standards for attaining its
operational goals. The collective role of the Board
of Directors, Managing Director and CEO and the
Committees is to ensure excellence in corporate
governance practices. The activities of the Bank
are always conducted in adherence to highest
possible ethical standards for the best interest of
the stakeholders.
CSR Activities
Agrani Bank Limited is committed to contribute
towards social development through its Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) program. ABLs ethical

Human resources is the real capital of our Bank.
We consider the human recource as a tool for our
development. We always give due recognition to
the contribution made by the officers and staff
members. Following corporatization, the Banks
key strategy is to set a new standard towards the
full range of exploration and development of our
human resources. We are attaching much
importance to quality, skill, creativity and
professionalism. Due consideration is given to
dutifulness, merit, seniority and management skill
at the time of promotion.
a) Organogram
Corporatization has necesseciated the Bank to
restructure its existing organogram. As such,
necessary steps have been taken to redefine the
portfolios and functional jurisdictions of GMs,
DGMs and Heads of Zones.
b) HR Planning:
Recruitment, Promotion and Departure
Human Resource is the most valuable asset of an
organization. ABL is more conscious about the
best utilization of its human resources. The
success of any organization depends on the
proper posting of right man in right jobs, efficient
and effective management of the human
resources. HR Planning Division is doing some
work in the name of human resource

consistent experience and background
knowledge. With this point of view, Agrani Bank
Training Institute (ABTI) was established in 1976
and since then ABTI is entrusted with the
responsibility of designing course curriculum,
reading materials, and course contents for
conducting training for the purpose of enhancing
professionalism and administrative efficiency of
the executives and officers of the bank.

Contribution to the National Economy
The Bank plays an important role in the
development of rural economy. It has got 889
branches across the country. The Bank operates
many branches in the remote areas to provide the
banking services to the rural people, though
operations of those branches are not financially
viable to the Bank. It also plays an important role in
reducing unemployment problem by way of
participating in different employment generation
activities. At the end of 2012, the total number of
employees stood at 13,890 of which 9,917 were
officers and 3,973 were staff members. Since its
beginning, the Bank has been highly active in
remittance operations to facilitate disbursement of
remittances received from Bangladeshi wage
earners working abroad. The remitted money can
now be deposited to the beneficiaries account
within maximum 24 hours. The introduction of
on-line distribution of remittances has generated
much enthusiasm among the expatriate
Bangladeshi workers.
Outlook for 2013
In spite of tremendous competitions and
challenges, the Bank has made progress in almost
all spheres of business. To meet the challenges
and to stay competitive, it has upgraded the skills
of its workforce and to introduce automation where
possible, in its operation. It will continue to focus
on achieving steady growth, by upgrading the
quality of assets, augmenting interest and
rendering quality service and operation.
The bank will constantly persuit the policies of
recruitment of skilled manpower, good corporate
governance practices, and sound risk
management. We will make every effort to earn
high operating profit, maintain minimum capital
adequacy, bring classified loan at a minimum level
and to do best in all sectors including deposit,
credit, import, export, remittance, cost of fund etc.
Moreover, we want to make utmost contribution to
the society in which we operate.

To instruct, monitor and modify audit activities; the
Board Audit Committee has been re-arranged
consisting of 5 Directors as Committee Member.
The Board Audit Committee reviews the internal
and external audit reports and ensures that the
management takes effective measures in case any
deficiency or lapses is found in the internal control
system.
The Bank has been coducting 'Risk Based Internal
Audit' (RBIA) through analyzing Core Risk factors
in the daily activities of the Bank to assess the
business risk as well as control risk associated
with the branches. In setting out a strong internal
control framework within the organization, the
Bank has already brought out its Internal Control
Manual. It focuses on monitoring the functions of
various departments/divisions of Head Office and
branches of the Bank periodically on regular basis.
In 2012 Audit & Inspection Division conducted
comprehensive audit in 510 branches, 27
Corporate Branches, 13 Authorized Dealer
Branches, 15 Zonal Offices and 3 Divisions/
Departments at Head Office of the Bank. In the
same year the internal audit team carried out 12
spot audits and special audits in different branches
on different issues. Total number of audits were
580 during the year 2012.
Each year the Audit & Inspection Division sets out
an audit plan (internal) for the year which is
approved by the Board Audit Committee. Annual
Audit plan for the year 2013 approved by the Board
is as under:

Business Risk Management
By nature, risks are extremely unpredictable. This
makes it urgent for the Bank to evolve its risk
management strategy in a way that best protects
our interests against any insidious transactions. As
such, the Bank has introduced Risk Management
Manuals in six areas, according to the instruction
of central bank. These are: Credit Risk, Forex
Management Risk, Asset Liability Management
(ALM) Risk, Internal Control and Compliance (ICC)
Risk, Money Laundering (ML) Risk and IT Security
Risk. The Bank recognises the risks and takes
action to manage various risks posed by the
ever-changing business environment.
The Bank has established risk management policy
which is intended to balance risk against returns
and will comprise of six broad processes as
follows:
a) Credit Risk
The Credit Risk Management Manual has been
revised. It serves as a guide to effectively avert risks
involved in lending activities of the Bank. We have
put into practice the concepts of front, middle and
back offices to ensure segregation of duties that
calls for each individuals precise responsibilities
within the area he performs. The Credit Risk
Grading System (CRG) has been introduced for
making proper lending decision. All credit officers
have been trained and groomed on CRG system,
including their superiors at controlling offices. A
Credit Committee (CRECOM) has been formed at
Head Office to oversee and scrutinise risks involved
in the process and give final recommendation in
each credit proposal. Special attention was given
for recovery and other action in the case of
downgraded large loan borrowers.
b) Foreign Exchange Management Risk
Foreign exchange risks arise from the variation in
rates of exchange that prevail at domestic and
international markets. Fund Management Division
handles the forex and money market operations,
including treasury function with maximum efficiency.
c) Asset Liability Management Risk
The Banks Asset Liability Committee (ALCOM)
continued to sit at its meeting regularly to review
both the opportunities and threats to its liquidity

The Bank kept its liquidity at satisfactory level to
cater to the needs of all types of customers.
d) Internal Control and Compliance Risk
Internal Control and Compliance plays a vital role
in a financial institution. It is a review process of
operations & records of an organization. Well
devised internal control ensures that the aims and
objectives of the Bank are being met and the bank
achieves long term profitability. In the light of the
guidelines of the central bank and based on
learning from the past, ABL follows risk
management guidelines to identify, evaluate and
control risks arising from banking activities.
Accordingly, ABL has already taken effective
measures for control and compliance and for
updating existing Internal Control and Compliance
Risk Manual to strengthen Internal Control and
Comliance Division of ABL. The Bank has already
started a special program to perform risk based
audit in all of its AD & Corporate branches. Under
this program, a good number of branches has
been audited.
Internal control is an integral part of an
organizations business policies. It helps to reduce
waste, complexity and inefficiency. It ensures
accuracy and reliability in accounting to secure
compliance with the policies of the organization
and to evaluate the level of performance in all the
organizational units.
ICC Division ensures its internal control process
through review of Departmental Control Functions
Check List (DCFCL), Loan Documentation Check
List (LDCL) and Quality Operations Report (QOR)
of the branches and other mechanisms. Internal
Control and Compliance Division continuously
tests the internal control mechanisms of the whole
banking operation and reviews the results of all
kinds of internal, external, commercial and the
central banks audits, including the management's
responses to their findings.
e) Money Laundering Risk
The Bank continues its anti-money laundering
stance with an emphasis to bring all the branches
under exhaustive training programs inside and
outside the Bank. In 2010, total 209 Officers and
Staff were trained on prevention of Money

f) ICT Security Risk
For the increased use of ICT it became necessary
to be more careful to address the risks associated
with ICT security. The bank has formulated
well-defined ICT Policy in line with the international
best practices and prudential guidelines of
Bangladesh Bank on ICT security. It has an
implementation manual for users at all levels in
conformity with the ICT policy. An ICT Audit
Manual has been prepared and is in use for
auditing ICT activities of the Bank to assure that
the policy and the procedures are strictly followed.
Credit Rating
In 2011, the Bank appointed Credit Rating
Information and Services Limited (CRISL), for
credit rating of the Bank as per directives of
Bangladesh Bank. The rating company assigned
AAA to the Bank in the long run and ST-1 in the
short term. This rating has been done in
consideration of the guarantee of the Government
of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh being the
highest risk-free entity. Financial Institutions rated
in this category have the best quality, offer highest
safety and have the highest credit quality.
However, the Bank's entity rating (as stand alone
commercial bank) has been improving over the
years, as will be evident from below:

Implementation of Basel II
The Bank has been implementing BASEL-II
Accord since 2010, placing heavy reliance on
internal risk assessment and management
techniques for the purpose of quantifying and
allocating capital for credit, market and operational
risks. Continued success of a bank depends on its
ability to prepare for unexpected and potentially
much less favorable events and outcomes. The
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS)
has published a new framework for calculating
minimum capital requirement, consisting of 3
pillars, known as Basel II.
Following the suggestions from the National
Steering Committee, continuous training was
provided to the staff members of various
departments. The newly formed Core Risk
Management and Basel II Implementation Division
is responsible for overall supervision of Basel II
implementation of the Bank. The Bank so far
provided training to the Executives and Officers of
the Bank on Basel-II with the assistance of
Bangladesh Bank, BIBM and Banks own experts.
Corporate Governance
The Bank is always committed to adopting highest
corporate governance standards for attaining its
operational goals. The collective role of the Board
of Directors, Managing Director and CEO and the
Committees is to ensure excellence in corporate
governance practices. The activities of the Bank
are always conducted in adherence to highest
possible ethical standards for the best interest of
the stakeholders.
CSR Activities
Agrani Bank Limited is committed to contribute
towards social development through its Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) program. ABLs ethical
standard is not only meant for maximising profit,

human dignity and rights receive the highest

importance to quality, skill, creativity and
professionalism. Due consideration is given to
dutifulness, merit, seniority and management skill
at the time of promotion.

restructure its existing organogram. As such,
necessary steps have been taken to redefine the
portfolios and functional jurisdictions of GMs,
DGMs and Heads of Zones.

Recruitment, Promotion and Departure
Human Resource is the most valuable asset of an
organization. ABL is more conscious about the
best utilization of its human resources. The

knowledge. With this point of view, Agrani Bank
Training Institute (ABTI) was established in 1976
and since then ABTI is entrusted with the
responsibility of designing course curriculum,
reading materials, and course contents for
conducting training for the purpose of enhancing
professionalism and administrative efficiency of

Contribution to the National Economy
The Bank plays an important role in the
development of rural economy. It has got 889
branches across the country. The Bank operates
many branches in the remote areas to provide the
banking services to the rural people, though
operations of those branches are not financially
viable to the Bank. It also plays an important role in
reducing unemployment problem by way of
participating in different employment generation
activities. At the end of 2012, the total number of
employees stood at 13,890 of which 9,917 were
officers and 3,973 were staff members. Since its
beginning, the Bank has been highly active in
remittance operations to facilitate disbursement of
remittances received from Bangladeshi wage
earners working abroad. The remitted money can
now be deposited to the beneficiaries account
within maximum 24 hours. The introduction of
on-line distribution of remittances has generated
much enthusiasm among the expatriate
Bangladeshi workers.
Outlook for 2013
In spite of tremendous competitions and
challenges, the Bank has made progress in almost
all spheres of business. To meet the challenges
and to stay competitive, it has upgraded the skills
of its workforce and to introduce automation where
possible, in its operation. It will continue to focus
on achieving steady growth, by upgrading the
quality of assets, augmenting interest and
rendering quality service and operation.
The bank will constantly persuit the policies of
recruitment of skilled manpower, good corporate
governance practices, and sound risk
management. We will make every effort to earn
high operating profit, maintain minimum capital
adequacy, bring classified loan at a minimum level
and to do best in all sectors including deposit,
credit, import, export, remittance, cost of fund etc.
Moreover, we want to make utmost contribution to
the society in which we operate.

To instruct, monitor and modify audit activities; the
Board Audit Committee has been re-arranged
consisting of 5 Directors as Committee Member.
The Board Audit Committee reviews the internal
and external audit reports and ensures that the
management takes effective measures in case any
deficiency or lapses is found in the internal control
system.
The Bank has been coducting 'Risk Based Internal
Audit' (RBIA) through analyzing Core Risk factors
in the daily activities of the Bank to assess the
business risk as well as control risk associated
with the branches. In setting out a strong internal
control framework within the organization, the
Bank has already brought out its Internal Control
Manual. It focuses on monitoring the functions of
various departments/divisions of Head Office and
branches of the Bank periodically on regular basis.
In 2012 Audit & Inspection Division conducted
comprehensive audit in 510 branches, 27
Corporate Branches, 13 Authorized Dealer
Branches, 15 Zonal Offices and 3 Divisions/
Departments at Head Office of the Bank. In the
same year the internal audit team carried out 12
spot audits and special audits in different branches
on different issues. Total number of audits were
580 during the year 2012.
Each year the Audit & Inspection Division sets out
an audit plan (internal) for the year which is
approved by the Board Audit Committee. Annual
Audit plan for the year 2013 approved by the Board
is as under:

Business Risk Management
By nature, risks are extremely unpredictable. This
makes it urgent for the Bank to evolve its risk
management strategy in a way that best protects
our interests against any insidious transactions. As
such, the Bank has introduced Risk Management
Manuals in six areas, according to the instruction
of central bank. These are: Credit Risk, Forex
Management Risk, Asset Liability Management
(ALM) Risk, Internal Control and Compliance (ICC)
Risk, Money Laundering (ML) Risk and IT Security
Risk. The Bank recognises the risks and takes
action to manage various risks posed by the
ever-changing business environment.
The Bank has established risk management policy
which is intended to balance risk against returns
and will comprise of six broad processes as
follows:
a) Credit Risk
The Credit Risk Management Manual has been
revised. It serves as a guide to effectively avert risks
involved in lending activities of the Bank. We have
put into practice the concepts of front, middle and
back offices to ensure segregation of duties that
calls for each individuals precise responsibilities
within the area he performs. The Credit Risk
Grading System (CRG) has been introduced for
making proper lending decision. All credit officers
have been trained and groomed on CRG system,
including their superiors at controlling offices. A
Credit Committee (CRECOM) has been formed at
Head Office to oversee and scrutinise risks involved
in the process and give final recommendation in
each credit proposal. Special attention was given
for recovery and other action in the case of
downgraded large loan borrowers.
b) Foreign Exchange Management Risk
Foreign exchange risks arise from the variation in
rates of exchange that prevail at domestic and
international markets. Fund Management Division
handles the forex and money market operations,
including treasury function with maximum efficiency.
c) Asset Liability Management Risk
The Banks Asset Liability Committee (ALCOM)
continued to sit at its meeting regularly to review
both the opportunities and threats to its liquidity

and balance sheet positions as well as positions of
maturing assets and liquidity contingency plan.
The Bank kept its liquidity at satisfactory level to
cater to the needs of all types of customers.
d) Internal Control and Compliance Risk
Internal Control and Compliance plays a vital role
in a financial institution. It is a review process of
operations & records of an organization. Well
devised internal control ensures that the aims and
objectives of the Bank are being met and the bank
achieves long term profitability. In the light of the
guidelines of the central bank and based on
learning from the past, ABL follows risk
management guidelines to identify, evaluate and
control risks arising from banking activities.
Accordingly, ABL has already taken effective
measures for control and compliance and for
updating existing Internal Control and Compliance
Risk Manual to strengthen Internal Control and
Comliance Division of ABL. The Bank has already
started a special program to perform risk based
audit in all of its AD & Corporate branches. Under
this program, a good number of branches has
been audited.
Internal control is an integral part of an
organizations business policies. It helps to reduce
waste, complexity and inefficiency. It ensures
accuracy and reliability in accounting to secure
compliance with the policies of the organization
and to evaluate the level of performance in all the
organizational units.
ICC Division ensures its internal control process
through review of Departmental Control Functions
Check List (DCFCL), Loan Documentation Check
List (LDCL) and Quality Operations Report (QOR)
of the branches and other mechanisms. Internal
Control and Compliance Division continuously
tests the internal control mechanisms of the whole
banking operation and reviews the results of all
kinds of internal, external, commercial and the
central banks audits, including the management's
responses to their findings.
e) Money Laundering Risk
The Bank continues its anti-money laundering
stance with an emphasis to bring all the branches
under exhaustive training programs inside and
outside the Bank. In 2010, total 209 Officers and
Staff were trained on prevention of Money

(TP), Cash Transaction Report (CTR) and
Suspicious Transaction Report (STR), if any, and
branch wise list of Anti Money Laundering
Compliance Officers (BAMLCO) are sent to
Bangladesh Bank.
f) ICT Security Risk
For the increased use of ICT it became necessary
to be more careful to address the risks associated
with ICT security. The bank has formulated
well-defined ICT Policy in line with the international
best practices and prudential guidelines of
Bangladesh Bank on ICT security. It has an
implementation manual for users at all levels in
conformity with the ICT policy. An ICT Audit
Manual has been prepared and is in use for
auditing ICT activities of the Bank to assure that
the policy and the procedures are strictly followed.
Credit Rating
In 2011, the Bank appointed Credit Rating
Information and Services Limited (CRISL), for
credit rating of the Bank as per directives of
Bangladesh Bank. The rating company assigned
AAA to the Bank in the long run and ST-1 in the
short term. This rating has been done in
consideration of the guarantee of the Government
of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh being the
highest risk-free entity. Financial Institutions rated
in this category have the best quality, offer highest
safety and have the highest credit quality.
However, the Bank's entity rating (as stand alone
commercial bank) has been improving over the
years, as will be evident from below:

Implementation of Basel II
The Bank has been implementing BASEL-II
Accord since 2010, placing heavy reliance on
internal risk assessment and management
techniques for the purpose of quantifying and
allocating capital for credit, market and operational
risks. Continued success of a bank depends on its
ability to prepare for unexpected and potentially
much less favorable events and outcomes. The
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS)
has published a new framework for calculating
minimum capital requirement, consisting of 3
pillars, known as Basel II.
Following the suggestions from the National
Steering Committee, continuous training was
provided to the staff members of various
departments. The newly formed Core Risk
Management and Basel II Implementation Division
is responsible for overall supervision of Basel II
implementation of the Bank. The Bank so far
provided training to the Executives and Officers of
the Bank on Basel-II with the assistance of
Bangladesh Bank, BIBM and Banks own experts.
Corporate Governance
The Bank is always committed to adopting highest
corporate governance standards for attaining its
operational goals. The collective role of the Board
of Directors, Managing Director and CEO and the
Committees is to ensure excellence in corporate
governance practices. The activities of the Bank
are always conducted in adherence to highest
possible ethical standards for the best interest of
the stakeholders.
CSR Activities
Agrani Bank Limited is committed to contribute
towards social development through its Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) program. ABLs ethical

key strategy is to set a new standard towards the
full range of exploration and development of our
human resources. We are attaching much
importance to quality, skill, creativity and
professionalism. Due consideration is given to
dutifulness, merit, seniority and management skill
at the time of promotion.
a) Organogram
Corporatization has necesseciated the Bank to
restructure its existing organogram. As such,
necessary steps have been taken to redefine the
portfolios and functional jurisdictions of GMs,
DGMs and Heads of Zones.
b) HR Planning:
Recruitment, Promotion and Departure
Human Resource is the most valuable asset of an
organization. ABL is more conscious about the
best utilization of its human resources. The

opportunity to enhance the knowledge base of all
employees. A structured training and development
program ensures that employees have a
consistent experience and background
knowledge. With this point of view, Agrani Bank
Training Institute (ABTI) was established in 1976
and since then ABTI is entrusted with the
responsibility of designing course curriculum,
reading materials, and course contents for
conducting training for the purpose of enhancing
professionalism and administrative efficiency of
the executives and officers of the bank.
Since its inception in 1976 till 2012, ABTI has
covered a total number of 65,596
executives/officers/staff under different banners of
training through 2015 courses/ workshops. ABL
has covered 5,148 participants by conducting 143
courses/workshops in 2012 alone.
From the year 2009 to 2012 a huge number of
probationary officers is included in manpower of
ABL. To equip all of those with the banking
activities, ABTI undertook comprehensive program
both at Dhaka and outside Dhaka. In 2012,
Foundation Courses conducted by ABTI are as

Contribution to the National Economy
The Bank plays an important role in the
development of rural economy. It has got 889
branches across the country. The Bank operates
many branches in the remote areas to provide the
banking services to the rural people, though
operations of those branches are not financially
viable to the Bank. It also plays an important role in
reducing unemployment problem by way of
participating in different employment generation
activities. At the end of 2012, the total number of
employees stood at 13,890 of which 9,917 were
officers and 3,973 were staff members. Since its
beginning, the Bank has been highly active in
remittance operations to facilitate disbursement of
remittances received from Bangladeshi wage
earners working abroad. The remitted money can
now be deposited to the beneficiaries account
within maximum 24 hours. The introduction of
on-line distribution of remittances has generated
much enthusiasm among the expatriate
Bangladeshi workers.
Outlook for 2013
In spite of tremendous competitions and
challenges, the Bank has made progress in almost
all spheres of business. To meet the challenges
and to stay competitive, it has upgraded the skills
of its workforce and to introduce automation where
possible, in its operation. It will continue to focus
on achieving steady growth, by upgrading the
quality of assets, augmenting interest and
rendering quality service and operation.
The bank will constantly persuit the policies of
recruitment of skilled manpower, good corporate
governance practices, and sound risk
management. We will make every effort to earn
high operating profit, maintain minimum capital
adequacy, bring classified loan at a minimum level
and to do best in all sectors including deposit,
credit, import, export, remittance, cost of fund etc.
Moreover, we want to make utmost contribution to
the society in which we operate.

To instruct, monitor and modify audit activities; the
Board Audit Committee has been re-arranged
consisting of 5 Directors as Committee Member.
The Board Audit Committee reviews the internal
and external audit reports and ensures that the
management takes effective measures in case any
deficiency or lapses is found in the internal control
system.
The Bank has been coducting 'Risk Based Internal
Audit' (RBIA) through analyzing Core Risk factors
in the daily activities of the Bank to assess the
business risk as well as control risk associated
with the branches. In setting out a strong internal
control framework within the organization, the
Bank has already brought out its Internal Control
Manual. It focuses on monitoring the functions of
various departments/divisions of Head Office and
branches of the Bank periodically on regular basis.
In 2012 Audit & Inspection Division conducted
comprehensive audit in 510 branches, 27
Corporate Branches, 13 Authorized Dealer
Branches, 15 Zonal Offices and 3 Divisions/
Departments at Head Office of the Bank. In the
same year the internal audit team carried out 12
spot audits and special audits in different branches
on different issues. Total number of audits were
580 during the year 2012.
Each year the Audit & Inspection Division sets out
an audit plan (internal) for the year which is
approved by the Board Audit Committee. Annual
Audit plan for the year 2013 approved by the Board
is as under:

Business Risk Management
By nature, risks are extremely unpredictable. This
makes it urgent for the Bank to evolve its risk
management strategy in a way that best protects
our interests against any insidious transactions. As
such, the Bank has introduced Risk Management
Manuals in six areas, according to the instruction
of central bank. These are: Credit Risk, Forex
Management Risk, Asset Liability Management
(ALM) Risk, Internal Control and Compliance (ICC)
Risk, Money Laundering (ML) Risk and IT Security
Risk. The Bank recognises the risks and takes
action to manage various risks posed by the
ever-changing business environment.
The Bank has established risk management policy
which is intended to balance risk against returns
and will comprise of six broad processes as
follows:
a) Credit Risk
The Credit Risk Management Manual has been
revised. It serves as a guide to effectively avert risks
involved in lending activities of the Bank. We have
put into practice the concepts of front, middle and
back offices to ensure segregation of duties that
calls for each individuals precise responsibilities
within the area he performs. The Credit Risk
Grading System (CRG) has been introduced for
making proper lending decision. All credit officers
have been trained and groomed on CRG system,
including their superiors at controlling offices. A
Credit Committee (CRECOM) has been formed at
Head Office to oversee and scrutinise risks involved
in the process and give final recommendation in
each credit proposal. Special attention was given
for recovery and other action in the case of
downgraded large loan borrowers.
b) Foreign Exchange Management Risk
Foreign exchange risks arise from the variation in
rates of exchange that prevail at domestic and
international markets. Fund Management Division
handles the forex and money market operations,
including treasury function with maximum efficiency.
c) Asset Liability Management Risk
The Banks Asset Liability Committee (ALCOM)
continued to sit at its meeting regularly to review
both the opportunities and threats to its liquidity

and balance sheet positions as well as positions of
maturing assets and liquidity contingency plan.
The Bank kept its liquidity at satisfactory level to
cater to the needs of all types of customers.
d) Internal Control and Compliance Risk
Internal Control and Compliance plays a vital role
in a financial institution. It is a review process of
operations & records of an organization. Well
devised internal control ensures that the aims and
objectives of the Bank are being met and the bank
achieves long term profitability. In the light of the
guidelines of the central bank and based on
learning from the past, ABL follows risk
management guidelines to identify, evaluate and
control risks arising from banking activities.
Accordingly, ABL has already taken effective
measures for control and compliance and for
updating existing Internal Control and Compliance
Risk Manual to strengthen Internal Control and
Comliance Division of ABL. The Bank has already
started a special program to perform risk based
audit in all of its AD & Corporate branches. Under
this program, a good number of branches has
been audited.
Internal control is an integral part of an
organizations business policies. It helps to reduce
waste, complexity and inefficiency. It ensures
accuracy and reliability in accounting to secure
compliance with the policies of the organization
and to evaluate the level of performance in all the
organizational units.
ICC Division ensures its internal control process
through review of Departmental Control Functions
Check List (DCFCL), Loan Documentation Check
List (LDCL) and Quality Operations Report (QOR)
of the branches and other mechanisms. Internal
Control and Compliance Division continuously
tests the internal control mechanisms of the whole
banking operation and reviews the results of all
kinds of internal, external, commercial and the
central banks audits, including the management's
responses to their findings.
e) Money Laundering Risk
The Bank continues its anti-money laundering
stance with an emphasis to bring all the branches
under exhaustive training programs inside and
outside the Bank. In 2010, total 209 Officers and
Staff were trained on prevention of Money

Compliance Officers (BAMLCO) are sent to

f) ICT Security Risk
For the increased use of ICT it became necessary
to be more careful to address the risks associated
with ICT security. The bank has formulated
well-defined ICT Policy in line with the international
best practices and prudential guidelines of
Bangladesh Bank on ICT security. It has an
implementation manual for users at all levels in
conformity with the ICT policy. An ICT Audit
Manual has been prepared and is in use for
auditing ICT activities of the Bank to assure that
the policy and the procedures are strictly followed.
Credit Rating
In 2011, the Bank appointed Credit Rating
Information and Services Limited (CRISL), for
credit rating of the Bank as per directives of
Bangladesh Bank. The rating company assigned
AAA to the Bank in the long run and ST-1 in the
short term. This rating has been done in
consideration of the guarantee of the Government
of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh being the
highest risk-free entity. Financial Institutions rated
in this category have the best quality, offer highest
safety and have the highest credit quality.
However, the Bank's entity rating (as stand alone
commercial bank) has been improving over the
years, as will be evident from below:

Implementation of Basel II
The Bank has been implementing BASEL-II
Accord since 2010, placing heavy reliance on
internal risk assessment and management
techniques for the purpose of quantifying and
allocating capital for credit, market and operational
risks. Continued success of a bank depends on its
ability to prepare for unexpected and potentially
much less favorable events and outcomes. The
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS)
has published a new framework for calculating
minimum capital requirement, consisting of 3
pillars, known as Basel II.
Following the suggestions from the National
Steering Committee, continuous training was
provided to the staff members of various
departments. The newly formed Core Risk
Management and Basel II Implementation Division
is responsible for overall supervision of Basel II
implementation of the Bank. The Bank so far
provided training to the Executives and Officers of
the Bank on Basel-II with the assistance of
Bangladesh Bank, BIBM and Banks own experts.
Corporate Governance
The Bank is always committed to adopting highest
corporate governance standards for attaining its
operational goals. The collective role of the Board
of Directors, Managing Director and CEO and the

governance practices. The activities of the Bank
are always conducted in adherence to highest
possible ethical standards for the best interest of
the stakeholders.

Category-wise Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR) activities in 2012 are as follows:
Human Resources Management
and Development
Human resources is the real capital of our Bank.
We consider the human recource as a tool for our
development. We always give due recognition to
the contribution made by the officers and staff
members. Following corporatization, the Banks
key strategy is to set a new standard towards the
full range of exploration and development of our
human resources. We are attaching much
importance to quality, skill, creativity and
professionalism. Due consideration is given to
dutifulness, merit, seniority and management skill
at the time of promotion.
a) Organogram

restructure its existing organogram. As such,
necessary steps have been taken to redefine the
portfolios and functional jurisdictions of GMs,
DGMs and Heads of Zones.

resources development. It presents a prime
opportunity to enhance the knowledge base of all
employees. A structured training and development
program ensures that employees have a
consistent experience and background
knowledge. With this point of view, Agrani Bank
Training Institute (ABTI) was established in 1976
and since then ABTI is entrusted with the
responsibility of designing course curriculum,
reading materials, and course contents for
conducting training for the purpose of enhancing
professionalism and administrative efficiency of
the executives and officers of the bank.
Since its inception in 1976 till 2012, ABTI has

Contribution to the National Economy
The Bank plays an important role in the
development of rural economy. It has got 889
branches across the country. The Bank operates
many branches in the remote areas to provide the
banking services to the rural people, though
operations of those branches are not financially
viable to the Bank. It also plays an important role in
reducing unemployment problem by way of
participating in different employment generation
activities. At the end of 2012, the total number of
employees stood at 13,890 of which 9,917 were
officers and 3,973 were staff members. Since its
beginning, the Bank has been highly active in
remittance operations to facilitate disbursement of
remittances received from Bangladeshi wage
earners working abroad. The remitted money can
now be deposited to the beneficiaries account
within maximum 24 hours. The introduction of
on-line distribution of remittances has generated
much enthusiasm among the expatriate
Bangladeshi workers.
Outlook for 2013
In spite of tremendous competitions and
challenges, the Bank has made progress in almost
all spheres of business. To meet the challenges
and to stay competitive, it has upgraded the skills
of its workforce and to introduce automation where
possible, in its operation. It will continue to focus
on achieving steady growth, by upgrading the
quality of assets, augmenting interest and
rendering quality service and operation.
The bank will constantly persuit the policies of
recruitment of skilled manpower, good corporate
governance practices, and sound risk
management. We will make every effort to earn
high operating profit, maintain minimum capital
adequacy, bring classified loan at a minimum level
and to do best in all sectors including deposit,
credit, import, export, remittance, cost of fund etc.
Moreover, we want to make utmost contribution to
the society in which we operate.

Annual Report 2012 125
To instruct, monitor and modify audit activities; the
Board Audit Committee has been re-arranged
consisting of 5 Directors as Committee Member.
The Board Audit Committee reviews the internal
and external audit reports and ensures that the
management takes effective measures in case any
deficiency or lapses is found in the internal control
system.
The Bank has been coducting 'Risk Based Internal
Audit' (RBIA) through analyzing Core Risk factors
in the daily activities of the Bank to assess the
business risk as well as control risk associated
with the branches. In setting out a strong internal
control framework within the organization, the
Bank has already brought out its Internal Control
Manual. It focuses on monitoring the functions of
various departments/divisions of Head Office and
branches of the Bank periodically on regular basis.
In 2012 Audit & Inspection Division conducted
comprehensive audit in 510 branches, 27
Corporate Branches, 13 Authorized Dealer
Branches, 15 Zonal Offices and 3 Divisions/
Departments at Head Office of the Bank. In the
same year the internal audit team carried out 12
spot audits and special audits in different branches
on different issues. Total number of audits were
580 during the year 2012.
Each year the Audit & Inspection Division sets out
an audit plan (internal) for the year which is
approved by the Board Audit Committee. Annual
Audit plan for the year 2013 approved by the Board
is as under:

Business Risk Management
By nature, risks are extremely unpredictable. This
makes it urgent for the Bank to evolve its risk
management strategy in a way that best protects
our interests against any insidious transactions. As
such, the Bank has introduced Risk Management
Manuals in six areas, according to the instruction
of central bank. These are: Credit Risk, Forex
Management Risk, Asset Liability Management
(ALM) Risk, Internal Control and Compliance (ICC)
Risk, Money Laundering (ML) Risk and IT Security
Risk. The Bank recognises the risks and takes
action to manage various risks posed by the
ever-changing business environment.
The Bank has established risk management policy
which is intended to balance risk against returns
and will comprise of six broad processes as
follows:
a) Credit Risk
The Credit Risk Management Manual has been
revised. It serves as a guide to effectively avert risks
involved in lending activities of the Bank. We have
put into practice the concepts of front, middle and
back offices to ensure segregation of duties that
calls for each individuals precise responsibilities
within the area he performs. The Credit Risk
Grading System (CRG) has been introduced for
making proper lending decision. All credit officers
have been trained and groomed on CRG system,
including their superiors at controlling offices. A
Credit Committee (CRECOM) has been formed at
Head Office to oversee and scrutinise risks involved
in the process and give final recommendation in
each credit proposal. Special attention was given
for recovery and other action in the case of
downgraded large loan borrowers.
b) Foreign Exchange Management Risk
Foreign exchange risks arise from the variation in
rates of exchange that prevail at domestic and
international markets. Fund Management Division
handles the forex and money market operations,
including treasury function with maximum efficiency.
c) Asset Liability Management Risk
The Banks Asset Liability Committee (ALCOM)
continued to sit at its meeting regularly to review
both the opportunities and threats to its liquidity

and balance sheet positions as well as positions of
maturing assets and liquidity contingency plan.
The Bank kept its liquidity at satisfactory level to
cater to the needs of all types of customers.
d) Internal Control and Compliance Risk
Internal Control and Compliance plays a vital role
in a financial institution. It is a review process of
operations & records of an organization. Well
devised internal control ensures that the aims and
objectives of the Bank are being met and the bank
achieves long term profitability. In the light of the
guidelines of the central bank and based on
learning from the past, ABL follows risk
management guidelines to identify, evaluate and
control risks arising from banking activities.
Accordingly, ABL has already taken effective
measures for control and compliance and for
updating existing Internal Control and Compliance
Risk Manual to strengthen Internal Control and
Comliance Division of ABL. The Bank has already
started a special program to perform risk based
audit in all of its AD & Corporate branches. Under
this program, a good number of branches has
been audited.
Internal control is an integral part of an
organizations business policies. It helps to reduce
waste, complexity and inefficiency. It ensures
accuracy and reliability in accounting to secure
compliance with the policies of the organization
and to evaluate the level of performance in all the
organizational units.
ICC Division ensures its internal control process
through review of Departmental Control Functions
Check List (DCFCL), Loan Documentation Check
List (LDCL) and Quality Operations Report (QOR)
of the branches and other mechanisms. Internal
Control and Compliance Division continuously
tests the internal control mechanisms of the whole
banking operation and reviews the results of all
kinds of internal, external, commercial and the
central banks audits, including the management's
responses to their findings.
e) Money Laundering Risk
The Bank continues its anti-money laundering
stance with an emphasis to bring all the branches
under exhaustive training programs inside and
outside the Bank. In 2010, total 209 Officers and
Staff were trained on prevention of Money

Laundering through Agrani Bank Training Institute
(ABTI). The Bank maintains the records of Know
Your Customer (KYC) and Transaction Profile
(TP), Cash Transaction Report (CTR) and
Suspicious Transaction Report (STR), if any, and
branch wise list of Anti Money Laundering
Compliance Officers (BAMLCO) are sent to
Bangladesh Bank.
f) ICT Security Risk
For the increased use of ICT it became necessary
to be more careful to address the risks associated
with ICT security. The bank has formulated
well-defined ICT Policy in line with the international
best practices and prudential guidelines of
Bangladesh Bank on ICT security. It has an
implementation manual for users at all levels in
conformity with the ICT policy. An ICT Audit
Manual has been prepared and is in use for
auditing ICT activities of the Bank to assure that
the policy and the procedures are strictly followed.
Credit Rating
In 2011, the Bank appointed Credit Rating
Information and Services Limited (CRISL), for
credit rating of the Bank as per directives of
Bangladesh Bank. The rating company assigned
AAA to the Bank in the long run and ST-1 in the
short term. This rating has been done in
consideration of the guarantee of the Government
of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh being the
highest risk-free entity. Financial Institutions rated
in this category have the best quality, offer highest
safety and have the highest credit quality.
However, the Bank's entity rating (as stand alone
commercial bank) has been improving over the
years, as will be evident from below:

Implementation of Basel II
The Bank has been implementing BASEL-II
Accord since 2010, placing heavy reliance on
internal risk assessment and management
techniques for the purpose of quantifying and
allocating capital for credit, market and operational
risks. Continued success of a bank depends on its
ability to prepare for unexpected and potentially
much less favorable events and outcomes. The
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS)
has published a new framework for calculating
minimum capital requirement, consisting of 3
pillars, known as Basel II.
Following the suggestions from the National
Steering Committee, continuous training was
provided to the staff members of various
departments. The newly formed Core Risk
Management and Basel II Implementation Division
is responsible for overall supervision of Basel II
implementation of the Bank. The Bank so far
provided training to the Executives and Officers of
the Bank on Basel-II with the assistance of
Bangladesh Bank, BIBM and Banks own experts.
Corporate Governance
The Bank is always committed to adopting highest
corporate governance standards for attaining its
operational goals. The collective role of the Board
of Directors, Managing Director and CEO and the
Committees is to ensure excellence in corporate
governance practices. The activities of the Bank
are always conducted in adherence to highest
possible ethical standards for the best interest of
the stakeholders.
CSR Activities
Agrani Bank Limited is committed to contribute
towards social development through its Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) program. ABLs ethical
standard is not only meant for maximising profit,
rather its vision is to build up a society where
human dignity and rights receive the highest
consideration and evaluation. Banks motto is also
to improve the society and its culture by means of
CSR. Its activities are related to the needs of our
valued customers, partners, shareholders and

importance to quality, skill, creativity and
professionalism. Due consideration is given to
dutifulness, merit, seniority and management skill
at the time of promotion.

restructure its existing organogram. As such,
necessary steps have been taken to redefine the
portfolios and functional jurisdictions of GMs,
DGMs and Heads of Zones.
b) HR Planning:
Recruitment, Promotion and Departure
Human Resource is the most valuable asset of an
organization. ABL is more conscious about the
best utilization of its human resources. The
success of any organization depends on the
proper posting of right man in right jobs, efficient

consistent experience and background
knowledge. With this point of view, Agrani Bank
Training Institute (ABTI) was established in 1976
and since then ABTI is entrusted with the
responsibility of designing course curriculum,
reading materials, and course contents for
conducting training for the purpose of enhancing
professionalism and administrative efficiency of

Contribution to the National Economy
The Bank plays an important role in the
development of rural economy. It has got 889
branches across the country. The Bank operates
many branches in the remote areas to provide the
banking services to the rural people, though
operations of those branches are not financially
viable to the Bank. It also plays an important role in
reducing unemployment problem by way of
participating in different employment generation
activities. At the end of 2012, the total number of
employees stood at 13,890 of which 9,917 were
officers and 3,973 were staff members. Since its
beginning, the Bank has been highly active in
remittance operations to facilitate disbursement of
remittances received from Bangladeshi wage
earners working abroad. The remitted money can
now be deposited to the beneficiaries account
within maximum 24 hours. The introduction of
on-line distribution of remittances has generated
much enthusiasm among the expatriate
Bangladeshi workers.
Outlook for 2013
In spite of tremendous competitions and
challenges, the Bank has made progress in almost
all spheres of business. To meet the challenges
and to stay competitive, it has upgraded the skills
of its workforce and to introduce automation where
possible, in its operation. It will continue to focus
on achieving steady growth, by upgrading the
quality of assets, augmenting interest and
rendering quality service and operation.
The bank will constantly persuit the policies of
recruitment of skilled manpower, good corporate
governance practices, and sound risk
management. We will make every effort to earn
high operating profit, maintain minimum capital
adequacy, bring classified loan at a minimum level
and to do best in all sectors including deposit,
credit, import, export, remittance, cost of fund etc.
Moreover, we want to make utmost contribution to
the society in which we operate.

To instruct, monitor and modify audit activities; the
Board Audit Committee has been re-arranged
consisting of 5 Directors as Committee Member.
The Board Audit Committee reviews the internal
and external audit reports and ensures that the
management takes effective measures in case any
deficiency or lapses is found in the internal control
system.
The Bank has been coducting 'Risk Based Internal
Audit' (RBIA) through analyzing Core Risk factors
in the daily activities of the Bank to assess the
business risk as well as control risk associated
with the branches. In setting out a strong internal
control framework within the organization, the
Bank has already brought out its Internal Control
Manual. It focuses on monitoring the functions of
various departments/divisions of Head Office and
branches of the Bank periodically on regular basis.
In 2012 Audit & Inspection Division conducted
comprehensive audit in 510 branches, 27
Corporate Branches, 13 Authorized Dealer
Branches, 15 Zonal Offices and 3 Divisions/
Departments at Head Office of the Bank. In the
same year the internal audit team carried out 12
spot audits and special audits in different branches
on different issues. Total number of audits were
580 during the year 2012.
Each year the Audit & Inspection Division sets out
an audit plan (internal) for the year which is
approved by the Board Audit Committee. Annual
Audit plan for the year 2013 approved by the Board
is as under:

Business Risk Management
By nature, risks are extremely unpredictable. This
makes it urgent for the Bank to evolve its risk
management strategy in a way that best protects
our interests against any insidious transactions. As
such, the Bank has introduced Risk Management
Manuals in six areas, according to the instruction
of central bank. These are: Credit Risk, Forex
Management Risk, Asset Liability Management
(ALM) Risk, Internal Control and Compliance (ICC)
Risk, Money Laundering (ML) Risk and IT Security
Risk. The Bank recognises the risks and takes
action to manage various risks posed by the
ever-changing business environment.
The Bank has established risk management policy
which is intended to balance risk against returns
and will comprise of six broad processes as
follows:
a) Credit Risk
The Credit Risk Management Manual has been
revised. It serves as a guide to effectively avert risks
involved in lending activities of the Bank. We have
put into practice the concepts of front, middle and
back offices to ensure segregation of duties that
calls for each individuals precise responsibilities
within the area he performs. The Credit Risk
Grading System (CRG) has been introduced for
making proper lending decision. All credit officers
have been trained and groomed on CRG system,
including their superiors at controlling offices. A
Credit Committee (CRECOM) has been formed at
Head Office to oversee and scrutinise risks involved
in the process and give final recommendation in
each credit proposal. Special attention was given
for recovery and other action in the case of
downgraded large loan borrowers.
b) Foreign Exchange Management Risk
Foreign exchange risks arise from the variation in
rates of exchange that prevail at domestic and
international markets. Fund Management Division
handles the forex and money market operations,
including treasury function with maximum efficiency.
c) Asset Liability Management Risk
The Banks Asset Liability Committee (ALCOM)
continued to sit at its meeting regularly to review
both the opportunities and threats to its liquidity

and balance sheet positions as well as positions of
maturing assets and liquidity contingency plan.
The Bank kept its liquidity at satisfactory level to
cater to the needs of all types of customers.
d) Internal Control and Compliance Risk
Internal Control and Compliance plays a vital role
in a financial institution. It is a review process of
operations & records of an organization. Well
devised internal control ensures that the aims and
objectives of the Bank are being met and the bank
achieves long term profitability. In the light of the
guidelines of the central bank and based on
learning from the past, ABL follows risk
management guidelines to identify, evaluate and
control risks arising from banking activities.
Accordingly, ABL has already taken effective
measures for control and compliance and for
updating existing Internal Control and Compliance
Risk Manual to strengthen Internal Control and
Comliance Division of ABL. The Bank has already
started a special program to perform risk based
audit in all of its AD & Corporate branches. Under
this program, a good number of branches has
been audited.
Internal control is an integral part of an
organizations business policies. It helps to reduce
waste, complexity and inefficiency. It ensures
accuracy and reliability in accounting to secure
compliance with the policies of the organization
and to evaluate the level of performance in all the
organizational units.
ICC Division ensures its internal control process
through review of Departmental Control Functions
Check List (DCFCL), Loan Documentation Check
List (LDCL) and Quality Operations Report (QOR)
of the branches and other mechanisms. Internal
Control and Compliance Division continuously
tests the internal control mechanisms of the whole
banking operation and reviews the results of all
kinds of internal, external, commercial and the
central banks audits, including the management's
responses to their findings.
e) Money Laundering Risk
The Bank continues its anti-money laundering
stance with an emphasis to bring all the branches
under exhaustive training programs inside and
outside the Bank. In 2010, total 209 Officers and
Staff were trained on prevention of Money

Compliance Officers (BAMLCO) are sent to
Bangladesh Bank.
f) ICT Security Risk
For the increased use of ICT it became necessary
to be more careful to address the risks associated
with ICT security. The bank has formulated
well-defined ICT Policy in line with the international
best practices and prudential guidelines of
Bangladesh Bank on ICT security. It has an
implementation manual for users at all levels in
conformity with the ICT policy. An ICT Audit
Manual has been prepared and is in use for
auditing ICT activities of the Bank to assure that
the policy and the procedures are strictly followed.
Credit Rating
In 2011, the Bank appointed Credit Rating
Information and Services Limited (CRISL), for
credit rating of the Bank as per directives of
Bangladesh Bank. The rating company assigned
AAA to the Bank in the long run and ST-1 in the
short term. This rating has been done in
consideration of the guarantee of the Government
of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh being the
highest risk-free entity. Financial Institutions rated
in this category have the best quality, offer highest
safety and have the highest credit quality.
However, the Bank's entity rating (as stand alone
commercial bank) has been improving over the
years, as will be evident from below:

Implementation of Basel II
The Bank has been implementing BASEL-II
Accord since 2010, placing heavy reliance on
internal risk assessment and management
techniques for the purpose of quantifying and
allocating capital for credit, market and operational
risks. Continued success of a bank depends on its
ability to prepare for unexpected and potentially
much less favorable events and outcomes. The
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS)
has published a new framework for calculating
minimum capital requirement, consisting of 3
pillars, known as Basel II.
Following the suggestions from the National
Steering Committee, continuous training was
provided to the staff members of various
departments. The newly formed Core Risk
Management and Basel II Implementation Division
is responsible for overall supervision of Basel II
implementation of the Bank. The Bank so far
provided training to the Executives and Officers of
the Bank on Basel-II with the assistance of
Bangladesh Bank, BIBM and Banks own experts.

possible ethical standards for the best interest of
the stakeholders.

responsibility of designing course curriculum,
reading materials, and course contents for
conducting training for the purpose of enhancing
professionalism and administrative efficiency of

Contribution to the National Economy
The Bank plays an important role in the
development of rural economy. It has got 889
branches across the country. The Bank operates
many branches in the remote areas to provide the
banking services to the rural people, though
operations of those branches are not financially
viable to the Bank. It also plays an important role in
reducing unemployment problem by way of
participating in different employment generation
activities. At the end of 2012, the total number of
employees stood at 13,890 of which 9,917 were
officers and 3,973 were staff members. Since its
beginning, the Bank has been highly active in
remittance operations to facilitate disbursement of
remittances received from Bangladeshi wage
earners working abroad. The remitted money can
now be deposited to the beneficiaries account
within maximum 24 hours. The introduction of
on-line distribution of remittances has generated
much enthusiasm among the expatriate
Bangladeshi workers.
Outlook for 2013
In spite of tremendous competitions and
challenges, the Bank has made progress in almost
all spheres of business. To meet the challenges
and to stay competitive, it has upgraded the skills
of its workforce and to introduce automation where
possible, in its operation. It will continue to focus
on achieving steady growth, by upgrading the
quality of assets, augmenting interest and
rendering quality service and operation.
The bank will constantly persuit the policies of
recruitment of skilled manpower, good corporate
governance practices, and sound risk
management. We will make every effort to earn
high operating profit, maintain minimum capital
adequacy, bring classified loan at a minimum level
and to do best in all sectors including deposit,
credit, import, export, remittance, cost of fund etc.
Moreover, we want to make utmost contribution to
the society in which we operate.

Annual Report 2012 127
To instruct, monitor and modify audit activities; the
Board Audit Committee has been re-arranged
consisting of 5 Directors as Committee Member.
The Board Audit Committee reviews the internal
and external audit reports and ensures that the
management takes effective measures in case any
deficiency or lapses is found in the internal control
system.
The Bank has been coducting 'Risk Based Internal
Audit' (RBIA) through analyzing Core Risk factors
in the daily activities of the Bank to assess the
business risk as well as control risk associated
with the branches. In setting out a strong internal
control framework within the organization, the
Bank has already brought out its Internal Control
Manual. It focuses on monitoring the functions of
various departments/divisions of Head Office and
branches of the Bank periodically on regular basis.
In 2012 Audit & Inspection Division conducted
comprehensive audit in 510 branches, 27
Corporate Branches, 13 Authorized Dealer
Branches, 15 Zonal Offices and 3 Divisions/
Departments at Head Office of the Bank. In the
same year the internal audit team carried out 12
spot audits and special audits in different branches
on different issues. Total number of audits were
580 during the year 2012.
Each year the Audit & Inspection Division sets out
an audit plan (internal) for the year which is
approved by the Board Audit Committee. Annual
Audit plan for the year 2013 approved by the Board
is as under:

Business Risk Management
By nature, risks are extremely unpredictable. This
makes it urgent for the Bank to evolve its risk
management strategy in a way that best protects
our interests against any insidious transactions. As
such, the Bank has introduced Risk Management
Manuals in six areas, according to the instruction
of central bank. These are: Credit Risk, Forex
Management Risk, Asset Liability Management
(ALM) Risk, Internal Control and Compliance (ICC)
Risk, Money Laundering (ML) Risk and IT Security
Risk. The Bank recognises the risks and takes
action to manage various risks posed by the
ever-changing business environment.
The Bank has established risk management policy
which is intended to balance risk against returns
and will comprise of six broad processes as
follows:
a) Credit Risk
The Credit Risk Management Manual has been
revised. It serves as a guide to effectively avert risks
involved in lending activities of the Bank. We have
put into practice the concepts of front, middle and
back offices to ensure segregation of duties that
calls for each individuals precise responsibilities
within the area he performs. The Credit Risk
Grading System (CRG) has been introduced for
making proper lending decision. All credit officers
have been trained and groomed on CRG system,
including their superiors at controlling offices. A
Credit Committee (CRECOM) has been formed at
Head Office to oversee and scrutinise risks involved
in the process and give final recommendation in
each credit proposal. Special attention was given
for recovery and other action in the case of
downgraded large loan borrowers.
b) Foreign Exchange Management Risk
Foreign exchange risks arise from the variation in
rates of exchange that prevail at domestic and
international markets. Fund Management Division
handles the forex and money market operations,
including treasury function with maximum efficiency.
c) Asset Liability Management Risk
The Banks Asset Liability Committee (ALCOM)
continued to sit at its meeting regularly to review
both the opportunities and threats to its liquidity

and balance sheet positions as well as positions of
maturing assets and liquidity contingency plan.
The Bank kept its liquidity at satisfactory level to
cater to the needs of all types of customers.
d) Internal Control and Compliance Risk
Internal Control and Compliance plays a vital role
in a financial institution. It is a review process of
operations & records of an organization. Well
devised internal control ensures that the aims and
objectives of the Bank are being met and the bank
achieves long term profitability. In the light of the
guidelines of the central bank and based on
learning from the past, ABL follows risk
management guidelines to identify, evaluate and
control risks arising from banking activities.
Accordingly, ABL has already taken effective
measures for control and compliance and for
updating existing Internal Control and Compliance
Risk Manual to strengthen Internal Control and
Comliance Division of ABL. The Bank has already
started a special program to perform risk based
audit in all of its AD & Corporate branches. Under
this program, a good number of branches has
been audited.
Internal control is an integral part of an
organizations business policies. It helps to reduce
waste, complexity and inefficiency. It ensures
accuracy and reliability in accounting to secure
compliance with the policies of the organization
and to evaluate the level of performance in all the
organizational units.
ICC Division ensures its internal control process
through review of Departmental Control Functions
Check List (DCFCL), Loan Documentation Check
List (LDCL) and Quality Operations Report (QOR)
of the branches and other mechanisms. Internal
Control and Compliance Division continuously
tests the internal control mechanisms of the whole
banking operation and reviews the results of all
kinds of internal, external, commercial and the
central banks audits, including the management's
responses to their findings.
e) Money Laundering Risk
The Bank continues its anti-money laundering
stance with an emphasis to bring all the branches
under exhaustive training programs inside and
outside the Bank. In 2010, total 209 Officers and
Staff were trained on prevention of Money

(TP), Cash Transaction Report (CTR) and
Suspicious Transaction Report (STR), if any, and
branch wise list of Anti Money Laundering
Compliance Officers (BAMLCO) are sent to
Bangladesh Bank.
f) ICT Security Risk
For the increased use of ICT it became necessary
to be more careful to address the risks associated
with ICT security. The bank has formulated
well-defined ICT Policy in line with the international
best practices and prudential guidelines of
Bangladesh Bank on ICT security. It has an
implementation manual for users at all levels in
conformity with the ICT policy. An ICT Audit
Manual has been prepared and is in use for
auditing ICT activities of the Bank to assure that
the policy and the procedures are strictly followed.
Credit Rating
In 2011, the Bank appointed Credit Rating
Information and Services Limited (CRISL), for
credit rating of the Bank as per directives of
Bangladesh Bank. The rating company assigned
AAA to the Bank in the long run and ST-1 in the
short term. This rating has been done in
consideration of the guarantee of the Government
of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh being the
highest risk-free entity. Financial Institutions rated
in this category have the best quality, offer highest
safety and have the highest credit quality.
However, the Bank's entity rating (as stand alone
commercial bank) has been improving over the
years, as will be evident from below:

Implementation of Basel II
The Bank has been implementing BASEL-II
Accord since 2010, placing heavy reliance on
internal risk assessment and management
techniques for the purpose of quantifying and
allocating capital for credit, market and operational
risks. Continued success of a bank depends on its
ability to prepare for unexpected and potentially
much less favorable events and outcomes. The
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS)
has published a new framework for calculating
minimum capital requirement, consisting of 3
pillars, known as Basel II.
Following the suggestions from the National
Steering Committee, continuous training was
provided to the staff members of various
departments. The newly formed Core Risk
Management and Basel II Implementation Division
is responsible for overall supervision of Basel II
implementation of the Bank. The Bank so far
provided training to the Executives and Officers of
the Bank on Basel-II with the assistance of
Bangladesh Bank, BIBM and Banks own experts.
Corporate Governance
The Bank is always committed to adopting highest
corporate governance standards for attaining its
operational goals. The collective role of the Board
of Directors, Managing Director and CEO and the
Committees is to ensure excellence in corporate
governance practices. The activities of the Bank
are always conducted in adherence to highest
possible ethical standards for the best interest of
the stakeholders.
CSR Activities
Agrani Bank Limited is committed to contribute
towards social development through its Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) program. ABLs ethical
standard is not only meant for maximising profit,
rather its vision is to build up a society where
human dignity and rights receive the highest

to improve the society and its culture by means of
CSR. Its activities are related to the needs of our
valued customers, partners, shareholders and

importance to quality, skill, creativity and
professionalism. Due consideration is given to
dutifulness, merit, seniority and management skill

necessary steps have been taken to redefine the
portfolios and functional jurisdictions of GMs,
DGMs and Heads of Zones.

opportunity to enhance the knowledge base of all
employees. A structured training and development
program ensures that employees have a
consistent experience and background
knowledge. With this point of view, Agrani Bank
Training Institute (ABTI) was established in 1976
and since then ABTI is entrusted with the
responsibility of designing course curriculum,
reading materials, and course contents for
conducting training for the purpose of enhancing
professionalism and administrative efficiency of
the executives and officers of the bank.
Since its inception in 1976 till 2012, ABTI has
covered a total number of 65,596
executives/officers/staff under different banners of
training through 2015 courses/ workshops. ABL
has covered 5,148 participants by conducting 143
courses/workshops in 2012 alone.
From the year 2009 to 2012 a huge number of
probationary officers is included in manpower of
ABL. To equip all of those with the banking
activities, ABTI undertook comprehensive program

Contribution to the National Economy
The Bank plays an important role in the
development of rural economy. It has got 889
branches across the country. The Bank operates
many branches in the remote areas to provide the
banking services to the rural people, though
operations of those branches are not financially
viable to the Bank. It also plays an important role in
reducing unemployment problem by way of
participating in different employment generation
activities. At the end of 2012, the total number of
employees stood at 13,890 of which 9,917 were
officers and 3,973 were staff members. Since its
beginning, the Bank has been highly active in
remittance operations to facilitate disbursement of
remittances received from Bangladeshi wage
earners working abroad. The remitted money can
now be deposited to the beneficiaries account
within maximum 24 hours. The introduction of
on-line distribution of remittances has generated
much enthusiasm among the expatriate
Bangladeshi workers.
Outlook for 2013
In spite of tremendous competitions and
challenges, the Bank has made progress in almost
all spheres of business. To meet the challenges
and to stay competitive, it has upgraded the skills
of its workforce and to introduce automation where
possible, in its operation. It will continue to focus
on achieving steady growth, by upgrading the
quality of assets, augmenting interest and
rendering quality service and operation.
The bank will constantly persuit the policies of
recruitment of skilled manpower, good corporate
governance practices, and sound risk
management. We will make every effort to earn
high operating profit, maintain minimum capital
adequacy, bring classified loan at a minimum level
and to do best in all sectors including deposit,
credit, import, export, remittance, cost of fund etc.
Moreover, we want to make utmost contribution to
the society in which we operate.

To instruct, monitor and modify audit activities; the
Board Audit Committee has been re-arranged
consisting of 5 Directors as Committee Member.
The Board Audit Committee reviews the internal
and external audit reports and ensures that the
management takes effective measures in case any
deficiency or lapses is found in the internal control
system.
The Bank has been coducting 'Risk Based Internal
Audit' (RBIA) through analyzing Core Risk factors
in the daily activities of the Bank to assess the
business risk as well as control risk associated
with the branches. In setting out a strong internal
control framework within the organization, the
Bank has already brought out its Internal Control
Manual. It focuses on monitoring the functions of
various departments/divisions of Head Office and
branches of the Bank periodically on regular basis.
In 2012 Audit & Inspection Division conducted
comprehensive audit in 510 branches, 27
Corporate Branches, 13 Authorized Dealer
Branches, 15 Zonal Offices and 3 Divisions/
Departments at Head Office of the Bank. In the
same year the internal audit team carried out 12
spot audits and special audits in different branches
on different issues. Total number of audits were
580 during the year 2012.
Each year the Audit & Inspection Division sets out
an audit plan (internal) for the year which is
approved by the Board Audit Committee. Annual
Audit plan for the year 2013 approved by the Board
is as under:

Business Risk Management
By nature, risks are extremely unpredictable. This
makes it urgent for the Bank to evolve its risk
management strategy in a way that best protects
our interests against any insidious transactions. As
such, the Bank has introduced Risk Management
Manuals in six areas, according to the instruction
of central bank. These are: Credit Risk, Forex
Management Risk, Asset Liability Management
(ALM) Risk, Internal Control and Compliance (ICC)
Risk, Money Laundering (ML) Risk and IT Security
Risk. The Bank recognises the risks and takes
action to manage various risks posed by the
ever-changing business environment.
The Bank has established risk management policy
which is intended to balance risk against returns
and will comprise of six broad processes as
follows:
a) Credit Risk
The Credit Risk Management Manual has been
revised. It serves as a guide to effectively avert risks
involved in lending activities of the Bank. We have
put into practice the concepts of front, middle and
back offices to ensure segregation of duties that
calls for each individuals precise responsibilities
within the area he performs. The Credit Risk
Grading System (CRG) has been introduced for
making proper lending decision. All credit officers
have been trained and groomed on CRG system,
including their superiors at controlling offices. A
Credit Committee (CRECOM) has been formed at
Head Office to oversee and scrutinise risks involved
in the process and give final recommendation in
each credit proposal. Special attention was given
for recovery and other action in the case of
downgraded large loan borrowers.
b) Foreign Exchange Management Risk
Foreign exchange risks arise from the variation in
rates of exchange that prevail at domestic and
international markets. Fund Management Division
handles the forex and money market operations,
including treasury function with maximum efficiency.
c) Asset Liability Management Risk
The Banks Asset Liability Committee (ALCOM)
continued to sit at its meeting regularly to review
both the opportunities and threats to its liquidity

and balance sheet positions as well as positions of
maturing assets and liquidity contingency plan.
The Bank kept its liquidity at satisfactory level to
cater to the needs of all types of customers.
d) Internal Control and Compliance Risk
Internal Control and Compliance plays a vital role
in a financial institution. It is a review process of
operations & records of an organization. Well
devised internal control ensures that the aims and
objectives of the Bank are being met and the bank
achieves long term profitability. In the light of the
guidelines of the central bank and based on
learning from the past, ABL follows risk
management guidelines to identify, evaluate and
control risks arising from banking activities.
Accordingly, ABL has already taken effective
measures for control and compliance and for
updating existing Internal Control and Compliance
Risk Manual to strengthen Internal Control and
Comliance Division of ABL. The Bank has already
started a special program to perform risk based
audit in all of its AD & Corporate branches. Under
this program, a good number of branches has
been audited.
Internal control is an integral part of an
organizations business policies. It helps to reduce
waste, complexity and inefficiency. It ensures
accuracy and reliability in accounting to secure
compliance with the policies of the organization
and to evaluate the level of performance in all the
organizational units.
ICC Division ensures its internal control process
through review of Departmental Control Functions
Check List (DCFCL), Loan Documentation Check
List (LDCL) and Quality Operations Report (QOR)
of the branches and other mechanisms. Internal
Control and Compliance Division continuously
tests the internal control mechanisms of the whole
banking operation and reviews the results of all
kinds of internal, external, commercial and the
central banks audits, including the management's
responses to their findings.
e) Money Laundering Risk
The Bank continues its anti-money laundering
stance with an emphasis to bring all the branches
under exhaustive training programs inside and
outside the Bank. In 2010, total 209 Officers and
Staff were trained on prevention of Money

Compliance Officers (BAMLCO) are sent to
Bangladesh Bank.
f) ICT Security Risk
For the increased use of ICT it became necessary
to be more careful to address the risks associated
with ICT security. The bank has formulated
well-defined ICT Policy in line with the international
best practices and prudential guidelines of
Bangladesh Bank on ICT security. It has an
implementation manual for users at all levels in
conformity with the ICT policy. An ICT Audit
Manual has been prepared and is in use for
auditing ICT activities of the Bank to assure that
the policy and the procedures are strictly followed.
Credit Rating
In 2011, the Bank appointed Credit Rating
Information and Services Limited (CRISL), for
credit rating of the Bank as per directives of
Bangladesh Bank. The rating company assigned
AAA to the Bank in the long run and ST-1 in the
short term. This rating has been done in
consideration of the guarantee of the Government
of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh being the
highest risk-free entity. Financial Institutions rated
in this category have the best quality, offer highest
safety and have the highest credit quality.
However, the Bank's entity rating (as stand alone
commercial bank) has been improving over the
years, as will be evident from below:

Implementation of Basel II
The Bank has been implementing BASEL-II
Accord since 2010, placing heavy reliance on
internal risk assessment and management
techniques for the purpose of quantifying and
allocating capital for credit, market and operational
risks. Continued success of a bank depends on its
ability to prepare for unexpected and potentially
much less favorable events and outcomes. The
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS)
has published a new framework for calculating
minimum capital requirement, consisting of 3
pillars, known as Basel II.
Following the suggestions from the National
Steering Committee, continuous training was
provided to the staff members of various
departments. The newly formed Core Risk
Management and Basel II Implementation Division
is responsible for overall supervision of Basel II
implementation of the Bank. The Bank so far
provided training to the Executives and Officers of
the Bank on Basel-II with the assistance of
Bangladesh Bank, BIBM and Banks own experts.
Corporate Governance
The Bank is always committed to adopting highest
corporate governance standards for attaining its
operational goals. The collective role of the Board
of Directors, Managing Director and CEO and the
Committees is to ensure excellence in corporate
governance practices. The activities of the Bank
are always conducted in adherence to highest
possible ethical standards for the best interest of
the stakeholders.
CSR Activities
Agrani Bank Limited is committed to contribute
towards social development through its Corporate

Human resources is the real capital of our Bank.
We consider the human recource as a tool for our
development. We always give due recognition to
the contribution made by the officers and staff
members. Following corporatization, the Banks
key strategy is to set a new standard towards the
full range of exploration and development of our
human resources. We are attaching much
importance to quality, skill, creativity and
professionalism. Due consideration is given to
dutifulness, merit, seniority and management skill
at the time of promotion.
a) Organogram
Corporatization has necesseciated the Bank to
restructure its existing organogram. As such,
necessary steps have been taken to redefine the
portfolios and functional jurisdictions of GMs,
DGMs and Heads of Zones.
b) HR Planning:
Recruitment, Promotion and Departure
Human Resource is the most valuable asset of an
organization. ABL is more conscious about the
best utilization of its human resources. The
success of any organization depends on the
proper posting of right man in right jobs, efficient
and effective management of the human
resources. HR Planning Division is doing some
work in the name of human resource

responsibility of designing course curriculum,
reading materials, and course contents for

Contribution to the National Economy
The Bank plays an important role in the
development of rural economy. It has got 889
branches across the country. The Bank operates
many branches in the remote areas to provide the
banking services to the rural people, though
operations of those branches are not financially
viable to the Bank. It also plays an important role in
reducing unemployment problem by way of
participating in different employment generation
activities. At the end of 2012, the total number of
employees stood at 13,890 of which 9,917 were
officers and 3,973 were staff members. Since its
beginning, the Bank has been highly active in
remittance operations to facilitate disbursement of
remittances received from Bangladeshi wage
earners working abroad. The remitted money can
now be deposited to the beneficiaries account
within maximum 24 hours. The introduction of
on-line distribution of remittances has generated
much enthusiasm among the expatriate
Bangladeshi workers.
Outlook for 2013
In spite of tremendous competitions and
challenges, the Bank has made progress in almost
all spheres of business. To meet the challenges
and to stay competitive, it has upgraded the skills
of its workforce and to introduce automation where
possible, in its operation. It will continue to focus
on achieving steady growth, by upgrading the
quality of assets, augmenting interest and
rendering quality service and operation.
The bank will constantly persuit the policies of
recruitment of skilled manpower, good corporate
governance practices, and sound risk
management. We will make every effort to earn
high operating profit, maintain minimum capital
adequacy, bring classified loan at a minimum level
and to do best in all sectors including deposit,
credit, import, export, remittance, cost of fund etc.

Annual Report 2012 129
To instruct, monitor and modify audit activities; the
Board Audit Committee has been re-arranged
consisting of 5 Directors as Committee Member.
The Board Audit Committee reviews the internal
and external audit reports and ensures that the
management takes effective measures in case any
deficiency or lapses is found in the internal control
system.
The Bank has been coducting 'Risk Based Internal
Audit' (RBIA) through analyzing Core Risk factors
in the daily activities of the Bank to assess the
business risk as well as control risk associated
with the branches. In setting out a strong internal
control framework within the organization, the
Bank has already brought out its Internal Control
Manual. It focuses on monitoring the functions of
various departments/divisions of Head Office and
branches of the Bank periodically on regular basis.
In 2012 Audit & Inspection Division conducted
comprehensive audit in 510 branches, 27
Corporate Branches, 13 Authorized Dealer
Branches, 15 Zonal Offices and 3 Divisions/
Departments at Head Office of the Bank. In the
same year the internal audit team carried out 12
spot audits and special audits in different branches
on different issues. Total number of audits were
580 during the year 2012.
Each year the Audit & Inspection Division sets out
an audit plan (internal) for the year which is
approved by the Board Audit Committee. Annual
Audit plan for the year 2013 approved by the Board
is as under:

Business Risk Management
By nature, risks are extremely unpredictable. This
makes it urgent for the Bank to evolve its risk
management strategy in a way that best protects
our interests against any insidious transactions. As
such, the Bank has introduced Risk Management
Manuals in six areas, according to the instruction
of central bank. These are: Credit Risk, Forex
Management Risk, Asset Liability Management
(ALM) Risk, Internal Control and Compliance (ICC)
Risk, Money Laundering (ML) Risk and IT Security
Risk. The Bank recognises the risks and takes
action to manage various risks posed by the
ever-changing business environment.
The Bank has established risk management policy
which is intended to balance risk against returns
and will comprise of six broad processes as
follows:
a) Credit Risk
The Credit Risk Management Manual has been
revised. It serves as a guide to effectively avert risks
involved in lending activities of the Bank. We have
put into practice the concepts of front, middle and
back offices to ensure segregation of duties that
calls for each individuals precise responsibilities
within the area he performs. The Credit Risk
Grading System (CRG) has been introduced for
making proper lending decision. All credit officers
have been trained and groomed on CRG system,
including their superiors at controlling offices. A
Credit Committee (CRECOM) has been formed at
Head Office to oversee and scrutinise risks involved
in the process and give final recommendation in
each credit proposal. Special attention was given
for recovery and other action in the case of
downgraded large loan borrowers.
b) Foreign Exchange Management Risk
Foreign exchange risks arise from the variation in
rates of exchange that prevail at domestic and
international markets. Fund Management Division
handles the forex and money market operations,
including treasury function with maximum efficiency.
c) Asset Liability Management Risk
The Banks Asset Liability Committee (ALCOM)
continued to sit at its meeting regularly to review
both the opportunities and threats to its liquidity

The Bank kept its liquidity at satisfactory level to
cater to the needs of all types of customers.
d) Internal Control and Compliance Risk
Internal Control and Compliance plays a vital role
in a financial institution. It is a review process of
operations & records of an organization. Well
devised internal control ensures that the aims and
objectives of the Bank are being met and the bank
achieves long term profitability. In the light of the
guidelines of the central bank and based on
learning from the past, ABL follows risk
management guidelines to identify, evaluate and
control risks arising from banking activities.
Accordingly, ABL has already taken effective
measures for control and compliance and for
updating existing Internal Control and Compliance
Risk Manual to strengthen Internal Control and
Comliance Division of ABL. The Bank has already
started a special program to perform risk based
audit in all of its AD & Corporate branches. Under
this program, a good number of branches has
been audited.
Internal control is an integral part of an
organizations business policies. It helps to reduce
waste, complexity and inefficiency. It ensures
accuracy and reliability in accounting to secure
compliance with the policies of the organization
and to evaluate the level of performance in all the
organizational units.
ICC Division ensures its internal control process
through review of Departmental Control Functions
Check List (DCFCL), Loan Documentation Check
List (LDCL) and Quality Operations Report (QOR)
of the branches and other mechanisms. Internal
Control and Compliance Division continuously
tests the internal control mechanisms of the whole
banking operation and reviews the results of all
kinds of internal, external, commercial and the
central banks audits, including the management's
responses to their findings.
e) Money Laundering Risk
The Bank continues its anti-money laundering
stance with an emphasis to bring all the branches
under exhaustive training programs inside and
outside the Bank. In 2010, total 209 Officers and
Staff were trained on prevention of Money

f) ICT Security Risk
For the increased use of ICT it became necessary
to be more careful to address the risks associated
with ICT security. The bank has formulated
well-defined ICT Policy in line with the international
best practices and prudential guidelines of
Bangladesh Bank on ICT security. It has an
implementation manual for users at all levels in
conformity with the ICT policy. An ICT Audit
Manual has been prepared and is in use for
auditing ICT activities of the Bank to assure that
the policy and the procedures are strictly followed.
Credit Rating
In 2011, the Bank appointed Credit Rating
Information and Services Limited (CRISL), for
credit rating of the Bank as per directives of
Bangladesh Bank. The rating company assigned
AAA to the Bank in the long run and ST-1 in the
short term. This rating has been done in
consideration of the guarantee of the Government
of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh being the
highest risk-free entity. Financial Institutions rated
in this category have the best quality, offer highest
safety and have the highest credit quality.
However, the Bank's entity rating (as stand alone
commercial bank) has been improving over the
years, as will be evident from below:

Implementation of Basel II
The Bank has been implementing BASEL-II
Accord since 2010, placing heavy reliance on
internal risk assessment and management
techniques for the purpose of quantifying and
allocating capital for credit, market and operational
risks. Continued success of a bank depends on its
ability to prepare for unexpected and potentially
much less favorable events and outcomes. The
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS)
has published a new framework for calculating
minimum capital requirement, consisting of 3
pillars, known as Basel II.
Following the suggestions from the National
Steering Committee, continuous training was
provided to the staff members of various
departments. The newly formed Core Risk
Management and Basel II Implementation Division
is responsible for overall supervision of Basel II
implementation of the Bank. The Bank so far
provided training to the Executives and Officers of
the Bank on Basel-II with the assistance of
Bangladesh Bank, BIBM and Banks own experts.
Corporate Governance
The Bank is always committed to adopting highest
corporate governance standards for attaining its
operational goals. The collective role of the Board
of Directors, Managing Director and CEO and the
Committees is to ensure excellence in corporate
governance practices. The activities of the Bank
are always conducted in adherence to highest
possible ethical standards for the best interest of
the stakeholders.
CSR Activities
Agrani Bank Limited is committed to contribute
towards social development through its Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) program. ABLs ethical
standard is not only meant for maximising profit,

importance to quality, skill, creativity and
professionalism. Due consideration is given to
dutifulness, merit, seniority and management skill
at the time of promotion.

restructure its existing organogram. As such,
necessary steps have been taken to redefine the
portfolios and functional jurisdictions of GMs,
DGMs and Heads of Zones.

Recruitment, Promotion and Departure
Human Resource is the most valuable asset of an
organization. ABL is more conscious about the

Training Institute (ABTI) was established in 1976
and since then ABTI is entrusted with the
responsibility of designing course curriculum,
reading materials, and course contents for
conducting training for the purpose of enhancing
professionalism and administrative efficiency of

Contribution to the National Economy
The Bank plays an important role in the
development of rural economy. It has got 889
branches across the country. The Bank operates
many branches in the remote areas to provide the
banking services to the rural people, though
operations of those branches are not financially
viable to the Bank. It also plays an important role in
reducing unemployment problem by way of
participating in different employment generation
activities. At the end of 2012, the total number of
employees stood at 13,890 of which 9,917 were
officers and 3,973 were staff members. Since its
beginning, the Bank has been highly active in
remittance operations to facilitate disbursement of
remittances received from Bangladeshi wage
earners working abroad. The remitted money can
now be deposited to the beneficiaries account
within maximum 24 hours. The introduction of
on-line distribution of remittances has generated
much enthusiasm among the expatriate
Bangladeshi workers.
Outlook for 2013
In spite of tremendous competitions and
challenges, the Bank has made progress in almost
all spheres of business. To meet the challenges
and to stay competitive, it has upgraded the skills
of its workforce and to introduce automation where
possible, in its operation. It will continue to focus
on achieving steady growth, by upgrading the
quality of assets, augmenting interest and
rendering quality service and operation.
The bank will constantly persuit the policies of
recruitment of skilled manpower, good corporate
governance practices, and sound risk
management. We will make every effort to earn
high operating profit, maintain minimum capital
adequacy, bring classified loan at a minimum level
and to do best in all sectors including deposit,
credit, import, export, remittance, cost of fund etc.
Moreover, we want to make utmost contribution to
the society in which we operate.

To instruct, monitor and modify audit activities; the
Board Audit Committee has been re-arranged
consisting of 5 Directors as Committee Member.
The Board Audit Committee reviews the internal
and external audit reports and ensures that the
management takes effective measures in case any
deficiency or lapses is found in the internal control
system.
The Bank has been coducting 'Risk Based Internal
Audit' (RBIA) through analyzing Core Risk factors
in the daily activities of the Bank to assess the
business risk as well as control risk associated
with the branches. In setting out a strong internal
control framework within the organization, the
Bank has already brought out its Internal Control
Manual. It focuses on monitoring the functions of
various departments/divisions of Head Office and
branches of the Bank periodically on regular basis.
In 2012 Audit & Inspection Division conducted
comprehensive audit in 510 branches, 27
Corporate Branches, 13 Authorized Dealer
Branches, 15 Zonal Offices and 3 Divisions/
Departments at Head Office of the Bank. In the
same year the internal audit team carried out 12
spot audits and special audits in different branches
on different issues. Total number of audits were
580 during the year 2012.
Each year the Audit & Inspection Division sets out
an audit plan (internal) for the year which is
approved by the Board Audit Committee. Annual
Audit plan for the year 2013 approved by the Board
is as under:

Business Risk Management
By nature, risks are extremely unpredictable. This
makes it urgent for the Bank to evolve its risk
management strategy in a way that best protects
our interests against any insidious transactions. As
such, the Bank has introduced Risk Management
Manuals in six areas, according to the instruction
of central bank. These are: Credit Risk, Forex
Management Risk, Asset Liability Management
(ALM) Risk, Internal Control and Compliance (ICC)
Risk, Money Laundering (ML) Risk and IT Security
Risk. The Bank recognises the risks and takes
action to manage various risks posed by the
ever-changing business environment.
The Bank has established risk management policy
which is intended to balance risk against returns
and will comprise of six broad processes as
follows:
a) Credit Risk
The Credit Risk Management Manual has been
revised. It serves as a guide to effectively avert risks
involved in lending activities of the Bank. We have
put into practice the concepts of front, middle and
back offices to ensure segregation of duties that
calls for each individuals precise responsibilities
within the area he performs. The Credit Risk
Grading System (CRG) has been introduced for
making proper lending decision. All credit officers
have been trained and groomed on CRG system,
including their superiors at controlling offices. A
Credit Committee (CRECOM) has been formed at
Head Office to oversee and scrutinise risks involved
in the process and give final recommendation in
each credit proposal. Special attention was given
for recovery and other action in the case of
downgraded large loan borrowers.
b) Foreign Exchange Management Risk
Foreign exchange risks arise from the variation in
rates of exchange that prevail at domestic and
international markets. Fund Management Division
handles the forex and money market operations,
including treasury function with maximum efficiency.
c) Asset Liability Management Risk
The Banks Asset Liability Committee (ALCOM)
continued to sit at its meeting regularly to review
both the opportunities and threats to its liquidity

and balance sheet positions as well as positions of
maturing assets and liquidity contingency plan.
The Bank kept its liquidity at satisfactory level to
cater to the needs of all types of customers.
d) Internal Control and Compliance Risk
Internal Control and Compliance plays a vital role
in a financial institution. It is a review process of
operations & records of an organization. Well
devised internal control ensures that the aims and
objectives of the Bank are being met and the bank
achieves long term profitability. In the light of the
guidelines of the central bank and based on
learning from the past, ABL follows risk
management guidelines to identify, evaluate and
control risks arising from banking activities.
Accordingly, ABL has already taken effective
measures for control and compliance and for
updating existing Internal Control and Compliance
Risk Manual to strengthen Internal Control and
Comliance Division of ABL. The Bank has already
started a special program to perform risk based
audit in all of its AD & Corporate branches. Under
this program, a good number of branches has
been audited.
Internal control is an integral part of an
organizations business policies. It helps to reduce
waste, complexity and inefficiency. It ensures
accuracy and reliability in accounting to secure
compliance with the policies of the organization
and to evaluate the level of performance in all the
organizational units.
ICC Division ensures its internal control process
through review of Departmental Control Functions
Check List (DCFCL), Loan Documentation Check
List (LDCL) and Quality Operations Report (QOR)
of the branches and other mechanisms. Internal
Control and Compliance Division continuously
tests the internal control mechanisms of the whole
banking operation and reviews the results of all
kinds of internal, external, commercial and the
central banks audits, including the management's
responses to their findings.
e) Money Laundering Risk
The Bank continues its anti-money laundering
stance with an emphasis to bring all the branches
under exhaustive training programs inside and
outside the Bank. In 2010, total 209 Officers and
Staff were trained on prevention of Money

(TP), Cash Transaction Report (CTR) and
Suspicious Transaction Report (STR), if any, and
branch wise list of Anti Money Laundering
Compliance Officers (BAMLCO) are sent to
Bangladesh Bank.
f) ICT Security Risk
For the increased use of ICT it became necessary
to be more careful to address the risks associated
with ICT security. The bank has formulated
well-defined ICT Policy in line with the international
best practices and prudential guidelines of
Bangladesh Bank on ICT security. It has an
implementation manual for users at all levels in
conformity with the ICT policy. An ICT Audit
Manual has been prepared and is in use for
auditing ICT activities of the Bank to assure that
the policy and the procedures are strictly followed.
Credit Rating
In 2011, the Bank appointed Credit Rating
Information and Services Limited (CRISL), for
credit rating of the Bank as per directives of
Bangladesh Bank. The rating company assigned
AAA to the Bank in the long run and ST-1 in the
short term. This rating has been done in
consideration of the guarantee of the Government
of the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh being the
highest risk-free entity. Financial Institutions rated
in this category have the best quality, offer highest
safety and have the highest credit quality.
However, the Bank's entity rating (as stand alone
commercial bank) has been improving over the
years, as will be evident from below:

Implementation of Basel II
The Bank has been implementing BASEL-II
Accord since 2010, placing heavy reliance on
internal risk assessment and management
techniques for the purpose of quantifying and
allocating capital for credit, market and operational
risks. Continued success of a bank depends on its
ability to prepare for unexpected and potentially
much less favorable events and outcomes. The
Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS)
has published a new framework for calculating
minimum capital requirement, consisting of 3
pillars, known as Basel II.
Following the suggestions from the National
Steering Committee, continuous training was
provided to the staff members of various
departments. The newly formed Core Risk
Management and Basel II Implementation Division
is responsible for overall supervision of Basel II
implementation of the Bank. The Bank so far
provided training to the Executives and Officers of
the Bank on Basel-II with the assistance of
Bangladesh Bank, BIBM and Banks own experts.
Corporate Governance
The Bank is always committed to adopting highest
corporate governance standards for attaining its
operational goals. The collective role of the Board
of Directors, Managing Director and CEO and the
Committees is to ensure excellence in corporate
governance practices. The activities of the Bank
are always conducted in adherence to highest
possible ethical standards for the best interest of
the stakeholders.
CSR Activities
Agrani Bank Limited is committed to contribute
towards social development through its Corporate
Social Responsibility (CSR) program. ABLs ethical

importance to quality, skill, creativity and
professionalism. Due consideration is given to
dutifulness, merit, seniority and management skill
at the time of promotion.

necessary steps have been taken to redefine the
portfolios and functional jurisdictions of GMs,
DGMs and Heads of Zones.

c) Training and Development
Training is a proven instrument for human
resources development. It presents a prime
opportunity to enhance the knowledge base of all
employees. A structured training and development
program ensures that employees have a
consistent experience and background
knowledge. With this point of view, Agrani Bank
Training Institute (ABTI) was established in 1976
and since then ABTI is entrusted with the
responsibility of designing course curriculum,
reading materials, and course contents for
conducting training for the purpose of enhancing
professionalism and administrative efficiency of
the executives and officers of the bank.
Since its inception in 1976 till 2012, ABTI has
covered a total number of 65,596
executives/officers/staff under different banners of
training through 2015 courses/ workshops. ABL
has covered 5,148 participants by conducting 143
courses/workshops in 2012 alone.
From the year 2009 to 2012 a huge number of
probationary officers is included in manpower of
ABL. To equip all of those with the banking
activities, ABTI undertook comprehensive program
both at Dhaka and outside Dhaka. In 2012,
Foundation Courses conducted by ABTI are as

AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF AGRANI BANK LIMITED
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited and its
subsidiaries (the Group) as well as financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited ("the Bank") for the year
ended 31 December 2012 which comprise the balance sheet, profit and loss account, cash flow statement
and statement of changes in equity and the related notes 1-54 thereto.
The financial statements of the Banks subsidiaries, Agrani Exchange House (Pvt.) Limited, Singapore,
Agrani Remittance House SDN. BHD. Malaysia, Agrani Equity and Investment Limited and Agrani SME
Financing Company Limited for the year ended 31 December 2012, as incorporated in the consolidated
financial statements, have been audited by other firms of chartered accountants whose reports have been
furnished to us. The assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the subsidiary included in the consolidated
financial statements of the Group are not material in the context of consolidated figures given in the
consolidated financial statements.
Management Responsibilities for the Financial Statements
Management of Agrani Bank Limited is responsible for the preparation of financial statements in
accordance with Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards and Bangladesh Bank Guidelines and for
such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with Bangladesh Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply
with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entitys preparation
and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above which have been prepared in accordance with
Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (except for BAS-21 in the case of consolidated financial
statements) give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group/ Bank as at 31 December 2012 and
of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended and comply with the Companies Act
1994, the Bank Companies Act 1991, the rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank and other
applicable laws and regulations.
Emphasis of Matters
We draw attention to the following matters, though our opinion is not qualified in respect of the same:
1. As disclosed in note # 2.6.5 to the financial statements, while preparing the consolidated financial
statements the Bank used closing exchange rates for translating all the financial statements items of
the two foreign subsidiaries which are not in compliance with BAS-21, though such a non-compliance
does not have any material effect on the financial statements.
2. As disclosed in note # 6.4 to the financial statements, the Bank reported other Investments Tk. 2,541
crore which includes shares for an aggregate amount of Tk.300 crore of BEXIMCO Ltd., GMG Airlines
and Unique Hotel & Resorts Ltd. under sale and buy back agreements which have expired. The
ownership of Tk.233 crore shares under the above sale and buy back agreements have not yet been
transferred in the name of the Bank and a provision for loss of TK. 125 crore has been made against
such investments.
3. As disclosed in note # 9 to the financial statements, Other Assets include a net Branch adjustment
amount of Tk.173 crore (such amount in 2011 was Tk.568 crore). This needs to be reconciled as early
as possible.
4. As disclosed in note # 13.4 and 13.4(a) to the financial statements, there is a shortfall of capital
amounting to Tk.3,465 crore and Tk.3,414 crore respectively as at 31 December 2012, which is a
non-compliance with the BASEL-II requirement.
We further report that:
1. we have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief
were necessary for the purpose of our audit and made due verification thereof;
2. in our opinion, proper books of accounts as required by laws were kept by the Bank so far as it
appeared from our examination of those books and proper returns adequate for the purpose of our
audit have been received from the branches not visited by us;
3. the Banks balance sheet and profit and loss account dealt with by the report are in agreement with
the books of accounts and returns;
4. the expenditures incurred were for the purpose of the Banks operations;
5. the financial statements have been drawn up in conformity with the Bank Companies Act 1991 and in
accordance with the accounting rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank;
6. adequate provisions have been made for advances and other assets which are, in our opinion,
doubtful of recovery;
7. information on adequate capital requirement of the Bank under BASEL-II, as determined at the
year-end, has been stated in item# 4 of the Emphasis of Matters paragraph;
8. the records and statements submitted by the branches have been properly maintained and
consolidated in the financial statements;
9. the information and explanations required by us have been received and found satisfactory;
10. 80% of the risk-weighted assets have been reviewed spending over 16,500 hours; and
11. guidelines of Core Risk Management issued by Bangladesh Bank vide BRPD circular no. 17 dated 7
October 2003 were not fully complied with.

AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF AGRANI BANK LIMITED
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited and its
subsidiaries (the Group) as well as financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited ("the Bank") for the year
ended 31 December 2012 which comprise the balance sheet, profit and loss account, cash flow statement
and statement of changes in equity and the related notes 1-54 thereto.
The financial statements of the Banks subsidiaries, Agrani Exchange House (Pvt.) Limited, Singapore,
Agrani Remittance House SDN. BHD. Malaysia, Agrani Equity and Investment Limited and Agrani SME
Financing Company Limited for the year ended 31 December 2012, as incorporated in the consolidated
financial statements, have been audited by other firms of chartered accountants whose reports have been
furnished to us. The assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the subsidiary included in the consolidated
financial statements of the Group are not material in the context of consolidated figures given in the
consolidated financial statements.
Management Responsibilities for the Financial Statements
Management of Agrani Bank Limited is responsible for the preparation of financial statements in
accordance with Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards and Bangladesh Bank Guidelines and for
such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with Bangladesh Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply
with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entitys preparation
and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above which have been prepared in accordance with
Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (except for BAS-21 in the case of consolidated financial
statements) give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group/ Bank as at 31 December 2012 and
of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended and comply with the Companies Act
1994, the Bank Companies Act 1991, the rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank and other
applicable laws and regulations.
Emphasis of Matters
We draw attention to the following matters, though our opinion is not qualified in respect of the same:
1. As disclosed in note # 2.6.5 to the financial statements, while preparing the consolidated financial
statements the Bank used closing exchange rates for translating all the financial statements items of
the two foreign subsidiaries which are not in compliance with BAS-21, though such a non-compliance
does not have any material effect on the financial statements.
2. As disclosed in note # 6.4 to the financial statements, the Bank reported other Investments Tk. 2,541
crore which includes shares for an aggregate amount of Tk.300 crore of BEXIMCO Ltd., GMG Airlines
and Unique Hotel & Resorts Ltd. under sale and buy back agreements which have expired. The
ownership of Tk.233 crore shares under the above sale and buy back agreements have not yet been
transferred in the name of the Bank and a provision for loss of TK. 125 crore has been made against
such investments.
3. As disclosed in note # 9 to the financial statements, Other Assets include a net Branch adjustment
amount of Tk.173 crore (such amount in 2011 was Tk.568 crore). This needs to be reconciled as early
as possible.
4. As disclosed in note # 13.4 and 13.4(a) to the financial statements, there is a shortfall of capital
amounting to Tk.3,465 crore and Tk.3,414 crore respectively as at 31 December 2012, which is a
non-compliance with the BASEL-II requirement.
We further report that:
1. we have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief
were necessary for the purpose of our audit and made due verification thereof;
2. in our opinion, proper books of accounts as required by laws were kept by the Bank so far as it
appeared from our examination of those books and proper returns adequate for the purpose of our
audit have been received from the branches not visited by us;
3. the Banks balance sheet and profit and loss account dealt with by the report are in agreement with
the books of accounts and returns;
4. the expenditures incurred were for the purpose of the Banks operations;
5. the financial statements have been drawn up in conformity with the Bank Companies Act 1991 and in
accordance with the accounting rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank;
6. adequate provisions have been made for advances and other assets which are, in our opinion,
doubtful of recovery;
7. information on adequate capital requirement of the Bank under BASEL-II, as determined at the
year-end, has been stated in item# 4 of the Emphasis of Matters paragraph;
8. the records and statements submitted by the branches have been properly maintained and
consolidated in the financial statements;
9. the information and explanations required by us have been received and found satisfactory;
10. 80% of the risk-weighted assets have been reviewed spending over 16,500 hours; and
11. guidelines of Core Risk Management issued by Bangladesh Bank vide BRPD circular no. 17 dated 7
October 2003 were not fully complied with.

AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF AGRANI BANK LIMITED
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited and its
subsidiaries (the Group) as well as financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited ("the Bank") for the year
ended 31 December 2012 which comprise the balance sheet, profit and loss account, cash flow statement
and statement of changes in equity and the related notes 1-54 thereto.
The financial statements of the Banks subsidiaries, Agrani Exchange House (Pvt.) Limited, Singapore,
Agrani Remittance House SDN. BHD. Malaysia, Agrani Equity and Investment Limited and Agrani SME
Financing Company Limited for the year ended 31 December 2012, as incorporated in the consolidated
financial statements, have been audited by other firms of chartered accountants whose reports have been
furnished to us. The assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the subsidiary included in the consolidated
financial statements of the Group are not material in the context of consolidated figures given in the
consolidated financial statements.
Management Responsibilities for the Financial Statements
Management of Agrani Bank Limited is responsible for the preparation of financial statements in
accordance with Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards and Bangladesh Bank Guidelines and for
such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with Bangladesh Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply
with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entitys preparation
and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above which have been prepared in accordance with
Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (except for BAS-21 in the case of consolidated financial
statements) give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group/ Bank as at 31 December 2012 and
of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended and comply with the Companies Act
1994, the Bank Companies Act 1991, the rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank and other
applicable laws and regulations.
Emphasis of Matters
We draw attention to the following matters, though our opinion is not qualified in respect of the same:
1. As disclosed in note # 2.6.5 to the financial statements, while preparing the consolidated financial
statements the Bank used closing exchange rates for translating all the financial statements items of
the two foreign subsidiaries which are not in compliance with BAS-21, though such a non-compliance
does not have any material effect on the financial statements.
2. As disclosed in note # 6.4 to the financial statements, the Bank reported other Investments Tk. 2,541
crore which includes shares for an aggregate amount of Tk.300 crore of BEXIMCO Ltd., GMG Airlines
and Unique Hotel & Resorts Ltd. under sale and buy back agreements which have expired. The
ownership of Tk.233 crore shares under the above sale and buy back agreements have not yet been
transferred in the name of the Bank and a provision for loss of TK. 125 crore has been made against
such investments.
3. As disclosed in note # 9 to the financial statements, Other Assets include a net Branch adjustment
amount of Tk.173 crore (such amount in 2011 was Tk.568 crore). This needs to be reconciled as early
as possible.
4. As disclosed in note # 13.4 and 13.4(a) to the financial statements, there is a shortfall of capital
amounting to Tk.3,465 crore and Tk.3,414 crore respectively as at 31 December 2012, which is a
non-compliance with the BASEL-II requirement.
We further report that:
1. we have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief
were necessary for the purpose of our audit and made due verification thereof;
2. in our opinion, proper books of accounts as required by laws were kept by the Bank so far as it
appeared from our examination of those books and proper returns adequate for the purpose of our
audit have been received from the branches not visited by us;
3. the Banks balance sheet and profit and loss account dealt with by the report are in agreement with
the books of accounts and returns;
4. the expenditures incurred were for the purpose of the Banks operations;
5. the financial statements have been drawn up in conformity with the Bank Companies Act 1991 and in
accordance with the accounting rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank;
6. adequate provisions have been made for advances and other assets which are, in our opinion,
doubtful of recovery;
7. information on adequate capital requirement of the Bank under BASEL-II, as determined at the
year-end, has been stated in item# 4 of the Emphasis of Matters paragraph;
8. the records and statements submitted by the branches have been properly maintained and
consolidated in the financial statements;
9. the information and explanations required by us have been received and found satisfactory;
10. 80% of the risk-weighted assets have been reviewed spending over 16,500 hours; and
11. guidelines of Core Risk Management issued by Bangladesh Bank vide BRPD circular no. 17 dated 7
October 2003 were not fully complied with.

AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF AGRANI BANK LIMITED
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited and its
subsidiaries (the Group) as well as financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited ("the Bank") for the year
ended 31 December 2012 which comprise the balance sheet, profit and loss account, cash flow statement
and statement of changes in equity and the related notes 1-54 thereto.
The financial statements of the Banks subsidiaries, Agrani Exchange House (Pvt.) Limited, Singapore,
Agrani Remittance House SDN. BHD. Malaysia, Agrani Equity and Investment Limited and Agrani SME
Financing Company Limited for the year ended 31 December 2012, as incorporated in the consolidated
financial statements, have been audited by other firms of chartered accountants whose reports have been
furnished to us. The assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the subsidiary included in the consolidated
financial statements of the Group are not material in the context of consolidated figures given in the
consolidated financial statements.
Management Responsibilities for the Financial Statements
Management of Agrani Bank Limited is responsible for the preparation of financial statements in
accordance with Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards and Bangladesh Bank Guidelines and for
such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with Bangladesh Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply
with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entitys preparation
and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above which have been prepared in accordance with
Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (except for BAS-21 in the case of consolidated financial
statements) give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group/ Bank as at 31 December 2012 and
of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended and comply with the Companies Act
1994, the Bank Companies Act 1991, the rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank and other
applicable laws and regulations.
Emphasis of Matters
We draw attention to the following matters, though our opinion is not qualified in respect of the same:
1. As disclosed in note # 2.6.5 to the financial statements, while preparing the consolidated financial
statements the Bank used closing exchange rates for translating all the financial statements items of
the two foreign subsidiaries which are not in compliance with BAS-21, though such a non-compliance
does not have any material effect on the financial statements.
2. As disclosed in note # 6.4 to the financial statements, the Bank reported other Investments Tk. 2,541
crore which includes shares for an aggregate amount of Tk.300 crore of BEXIMCO Ltd., GMG Airlines
and Unique Hotel & Resorts Ltd. under sale and buy back agreements which have expired. The
ownership of Tk.233 crore shares under the above sale and buy back agreements have not yet been
transferred in the name of the Bank and a provision for loss of TK. 125 crore has been made against
such investments.
3. As disclosed in note # 9 to the financial statements, Other Assets include a net Branch adjustment
amount of Tk.173 crore (such amount in 2011 was Tk.568 crore). This needs to be reconciled as early
as possible.
4. As disclosed in note # 13.4 and 13.4(a) to the financial statements, there is a shortfall of capital
amounting to Tk.3,465 crore and Tk.3,414 crore respectively as at 31 December 2012, which is a
non-compliance with the BASEL-II requirement.
We further report that:
1. we have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief
were necessary for the purpose of our audit and made due verification thereof;
2. in our opinion, proper books of accounts as required by laws were kept by the Bank so far as it
appeared from our examination of those books and proper returns adequate for the purpose of our
audit have been received from the branches not visited by us;
3. the Banks balance sheet and profit and loss account dealt with by the report are in agreement with
the books of accounts and returns;
4. the expenditures incurred were for the purpose of the Banks operations;
5. the financial statements have been drawn up in conformity with the Bank Companies Act 1991 and in
accordance with the accounting rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank;
6. adequate provisions have been made for advances and other assets which are, in our opinion,
doubtful of recovery;
7. information on adequate capital requirement of the Bank under BASEL-II, as determined at the
year-end, has been stated in item# 4 of the Emphasis of Matters paragraph;
8. the records and statements submitted by the branches have been properly maintained and
consolidated in the financial statements;
9. the information and explanations required by us have been received and found satisfactory;
10. 80% of the risk-weighted assets have been reviewed spending over 16,500 hours; and
11. guidelines of Core Risk Management issued by Bangladesh Bank vide BRPD circular no. 17 dated 7
October 2003 were not fully complied with.

AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF AGRANI BANK LIMITED
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited and its
subsidiaries (the Group) as well as financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited ("the Bank") for the year
ended 31 December 2012 which comprise the balance sheet, profit and loss account, cash flow statement
and statement of changes in equity and the related notes 1-54 thereto.
The financial statements of the Banks subsidiaries, Agrani Exchange House (Pvt.) Limited, Singapore,
Agrani Remittance House SDN. BHD. Malaysia, Agrani Equity and Investment Limited and Agrani SME
Financing Company Limited for the year ended 31 December 2012, as incorporated in the consolidated
financial statements, have been audited by other firms of chartered accountants whose reports have been
furnished to us. The assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the subsidiary included in the consolidated
financial statements of the Group are not material in the context of consolidated figures given in the
consolidated financial statements.
Management Responsibilities for the Financial Statements
Management of Agrani Bank Limited is responsible for the preparation of financial statements in
accordance with Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards and Bangladesh Bank Guidelines and for
such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with Bangladesh Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply
with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entitys preparation
and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above which have been prepared in accordance with
Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (except for BAS-21 in the case of consolidated financial
statements) give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group/ Bank as at 31 December 2012 and
of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended and comply with the Companies Act
1994, the Bank Companies Act 1991, the rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank and other
applicable laws and regulations.
Emphasis of Matters
We draw attention to the following matters, though our opinion is not qualified in respect of the same:
1. As disclosed in note # 2.6.5 to the financial statements, while preparing the consolidated financial
statements the Bank used closing exchange rates for translating all the financial statements items of
the two foreign subsidiaries which are not in compliance with BAS-21, though such a non-compliance
does not have any material effect on the financial statements.
2. As disclosed in note # 6.4 to the financial statements, the Bank reported other Investments Tk. 2,541
crore which includes shares for an aggregate amount of Tk.300 crore of BEXIMCO Ltd., GMG Airlines
and Unique Hotel & Resorts Ltd. under sale and buy back agreements which have expired. The
ownership of Tk.233 crore shares under the above sale and buy back agreements have not yet been
transferred in the name of the Bank and a provision for loss of TK. 125 crore has been made against
such investments.
3. As disclosed in note # 9 to the financial statements, Other Assets include a net Branch adjustment
amount of Tk.173 crore (such amount in 2011 was Tk.568 crore). This needs to be reconciled as early
as possible.
4. As disclosed in note # 13.4 and 13.4(a) to the financial statements, there is a shortfall of capital
amounting to Tk.3,465 crore and Tk.3,414 crore respectively as at 31 December 2012, which is a
non-compliance with the BASEL-II requirement.
We further report that:
1. we have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief
were necessary for the purpose of our audit and made due verification thereof;
2. in our opinion, proper books of accounts as required by laws were kept by the Bank so far as it
appeared from our examination of those books and proper returns adequate for the purpose of our
audit have been received from the branches not visited by us;
3. the Banks balance sheet and profit and loss account dealt with by the report are in agreement with
the books of accounts and returns;
4. the expenditures incurred were for the purpose of the Banks operations;
5. the financial statements have been drawn up in conformity with the Bank Companies Act 1991 and in
accordance with the accounting rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank;
6. adequate provisions have been made for advances and other assets which are, in our opinion,
doubtful of recovery;
7. information on adequate capital requirement of the Bank under BASEL-II, as determined at the
year-end, has been stated in item# 4 of the Emphasis of Matters paragraph;
8. the records and statements submitted by the branches have been properly maintained and
consolidated in the financial statements;
9. the information and explanations required by us have been received and found satisfactory;
10. 80% of the risk-weighted assets have been reviewed spending over 16,500 hours; and
11. guidelines of Core Risk Management issued by Bangladesh Bank vide BRPD circular no. 17 dated 7
October 2003 were not fully complied with.

AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF AGRANI BANK LIMITED
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited and its
subsidiaries (the Group) as well as financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited ("the Bank") for the year
ended 31 December 2012 which comprise the balance sheet, profit and loss account, cash flow statement
and statement of changes in equity and the related notes 1-54 thereto.
The financial statements of the Banks subsidiaries, Agrani Exchange House (Pvt.) Limited, Singapore,
Agrani Remittance House SDN. BHD. Malaysia, Agrani Equity and Investment Limited and Agrani SME
Financing Company Limited for the year ended 31 December 2012, as incorporated in the consolidated
financial statements, have been audited by other firms of chartered accountants whose reports have been
furnished to us. The assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the subsidiary included in the consolidated
financial statements of the Group are not material in the context of consolidated figures given in the
consolidated financial statements.
Management Responsibilities for the Financial Statements
Management of Agrani Bank Limited is responsible for the preparation of financial statements in
accordance with Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards and Bangladesh Bank Guidelines and for
such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with Bangladesh Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply
with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entitys preparation
and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above which have been prepared in accordance with
Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (except for BAS-21 in the case of consolidated financial
statements) give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group/ Bank as at 31 December 2012 and
of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended and comply with the Companies Act
1994, the Bank Companies Act 1991, the rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank and other
applicable laws and regulations.
Emphasis of Matters
We draw attention to the following matters, though our opinion is not qualified in respect of the same:
1. As disclosed in note # 2.6.5 to the financial statements, while preparing the consolidated financial
statements the Bank used closing exchange rates for translating all the financial statements items of
the two foreign subsidiaries which are not in compliance with BAS-21, though such a non-compliance
does not have any material effect on the financial statements.
2. As disclosed in note # 6.4 to the financial statements, the Bank reported other Investments Tk. 2,541
crore which includes shares for an aggregate amount of Tk.300 crore of BEXIMCO Ltd., GMG Airlines
and Unique Hotel & Resorts Ltd. under sale and buy back agreements which have expired. The
ownership of Tk.233 crore shares under the above sale and buy back agreements have not yet been
transferred in the name of the Bank and a provision for loss of TK. 125 crore has been made against
such investments.
3. As disclosed in note # 9 to the financial statements, Other Assets include a net Branch adjustment
amount of Tk.173 crore (such amount in 2011 was Tk.568 crore). This needs to be reconciled as early
as possible.
4. As disclosed in note # 13.4 and 13.4(a) to the financial statements, there is a shortfall of capital
amounting to Tk.3,465 crore and Tk.3,414 crore respectively as at 31 December 2012, which is a
non-compliance with the BASEL-II requirement.
We further report that:
1. we have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief
were necessary for the purpose of our audit and made due verification thereof;
2. in our opinion, proper books of accounts as required by laws were kept by the Bank so far as it
appeared from our examination of those books and proper returns adequate for the purpose of our
audit have been received from the branches not visited by us;
3. the Banks balance sheet and profit and loss account dealt with by the report are in agreement with
the books of accounts and returns;
4. the expenditures incurred were for the purpose of the Banks operations;
5. the financial statements have been drawn up in conformity with the Bank Companies Act 1991 and in
accordance with the accounting rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank;
6. adequate provisions have been made for advances and other assets which are, in our opinion,
doubtful of recovery;
7. information on adequate capital requirement of the Bank under BASEL-II, as determined at the
year-end, has been stated in item# 4 of the Emphasis of Matters paragraph;
8. the records and statements submitted by the branches have been properly maintained and
consolidated in the financial statements;
9. the information and explanations required by us have been received and found satisfactory;
10. 80% of the risk-weighted assets have been reviewed spending over 16,500 hours; and
11. guidelines of Core Risk Management issued by Bangladesh Bank vide BRPD circular no. 17 dated 7
October 2003 were not fully complied with.

AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF AGRANI BANK LIMITED
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited and its
subsidiaries (the Group) as well as financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited ("the Bank") for the year
ended 31 December 2012 which comprise the balance sheet, profit and loss account, cash flow statement
and statement of changes in equity and the related notes 1-54 thereto.
The financial statements of the Banks subsidiaries, Agrani Exchange House (Pvt.) Limited, Singapore,
Agrani Remittance House SDN. BHD. Malaysia, Agrani Equity and Investment Limited and Agrani SME
Financing Company Limited for the year ended 31 December 2012, as incorporated in the consolidated
financial statements, have been audited by other firms of chartered accountants whose reports have been
furnished to us. The assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the subsidiary included in the consolidated
financial statements of the Group are not material in the context of consolidated figures given in the
consolidated financial statements.
Management Responsibilities for the Financial Statements
Management of Agrani Bank Limited is responsible for the preparation of financial statements in
accordance with Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards and Bangladesh Bank Guidelines and for
such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with Bangladesh Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply
with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entitys preparation
and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above which have been prepared in accordance with
Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (except for BAS-21 in the case of consolidated financial
statements) give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group/ Bank as at 31 December 2012 and
of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended and comply with the Companies Act
1994, the Bank Companies Act 1991, the rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank and other
applicable laws and regulations.
Emphasis of Matters
We draw attention to the following matters, though our opinion is not qualified in respect of the same:
1. As disclosed in note # 2.6.5 to the financial statements, while preparing the consolidated financial
statements the Bank used closing exchange rates for translating all the financial statements items of
the two foreign subsidiaries which are not in compliance with BAS-21, though such a non-compliance
does not have any material effect on the financial statements.
2. As disclosed in note # 6.4 to the financial statements, the Bank reported other Investments Tk. 2,541
crore which includes shares for an aggregate amount of Tk.300 crore of BEXIMCO Ltd., GMG Airlines
and Unique Hotel & Resorts Ltd. under sale and buy back agreements which have expired. The
ownership of Tk.233 crore shares under the above sale and buy back agreements have not yet been
transferred in the name of the Bank and a provision for loss of TK. 125 crore has been made against
such investments.
3. As disclosed in note # 9 to the financial statements, Other Assets include a net Branch adjustment
amount of Tk.173 crore (such amount in 2011 was Tk.568 crore). This needs to be reconciled as early
as possible.
4. As disclosed in note # 13.4 and 13.4(a) to the financial statements, there is a shortfall of capital
amounting to Tk.3,465 crore and Tk.3,414 crore respectively as at 31 December 2012, which is a
non-compliance with the BASEL-II requirement.
We further report that:
1. we have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief
were necessary for the purpose of our audit and made due verification thereof;
2. in our opinion, proper books of accounts as required by laws were kept by the Bank so far as it
appeared from our examination of those books and proper returns adequate for the purpose of our
audit have been received from the branches not visited by us;
3. the Banks balance sheet and profit and loss account dealt with by the report are in agreement with
the books of accounts and returns;
4. the expenditures incurred were for the purpose of the Banks operations;
5. the financial statements have been drawn up in conformity with the Bank Companies Act 1991 and in
accordance with the accounting rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank;
6. adequate provisions have been made for advances and other assets which are, in our opinion,
doubtful of recovery;
7. information on adequate capital requirement of the Bank under BASEL-II, as determined at the
year-end, has been stated in item# 4 of the Emphasis of Matters paragraph;
8. the records and statements submitted by the branches have been properly maintained and
consolidated in the financial statements;
9. the information and explanations required by us have been received and found satisfactory;
10. 80% of the risk-weighted assets have been reviewed spending over 16,500 hours; and
11. guidelines of Core Risk Management issued by Bangladesh Bank vide BRPD circular no. 17 dated 7
October 2003 were not fully complied with.

AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF AGRANI BANK LIMITED
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited and its
subsidiaries (the Group) as well as financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited ("the Bank") for the year
ended 31 December 2012 which comprise the balance sheet, profit and loss account, cash flow statement
and statement of changes in equity and the related notes 1-54 thereto.
The financial statements of the Banks subsidiaries, Agrani Exchange House (Pvt.) Limited, Singapore,
Agrani Remittance House SDN. BHD. Malaysia, Agrani Equity and Investment Limited and Agrani SME
Financing Company Limited for the year ended 31 December 2012, as incorporated in the consolidated
financial statements, have been audited by other firms of chartered accountants whose reports have been
furnished to us. The assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the subsidiary included in the consolidated
financial statements of the Group are not material in the context of consolidated figures given in the
consolidated financial statements.
Management Responsibilities for the Financial Statements
Management of Agrani Bank Limited is responsible for the preparation of financial statements in
accordance with Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards and Bangladesh Bank Guidelines and for
such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with Bangladesh Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply
with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entitys preparation
and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above which have been prepared in accordance with
Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (except for BAS-21 in the case of consolidated financial
statements) give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group/ Bank as at 31 December 2012 and
of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended and comply with the Companies Act
1994, the Bank Companies Act 1991, the rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank and other
applicable laws and regulations.
Emphasis of Matters
We draw attention to the following matters, though our opinion is not qualified in respect of the same:
1. As disclosed in note # 2.6.5 to the financial statements, while preparing the consolidated financial
statements the Bank used closing exchange rates for translating all the financial statements items of
the two foreign subsidiaries which are not in compliance with BAS-21, though such a non-compliance
does not have any material effect on the financial statements.
2. As disclosed in note # 6.4 to the financial statements, the Bank reported other Investments Tk. 2,541
crore which includes shares for an aggregate amount of Tk.300 crore of BEXIMCO Ltd., GMG Airlines
and Unique Hotel & Resorts Ltd. under sale and buy back agreements which have expired. The
ownership of Tk.233 crore shares under the above sale and buy back agreements have not yet been
transferred in the name of the Bank and a provision for loss of TK. 125 crore has been made against
such investments.
3. As disclosed in note # 9 to the financial statements, Other Assets include a net Branch adjustment
amount of Tk.173 crore (such amount in 2011 was Tk.568 crore). This needs to be reconciled as early
as possible.
4. As disclosed in note # 13.4 and 13.4(a) to the financial statements, there is a shortfall of capital
amounting to Tk.3,465 crore and Tk.3,414 crore respectively as at 31 December 2012, which is a
non-compliance with the BASEL-II requirement.
We further report that:
1. we have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief
were necessary for the purpose of our audit and made due verification thereof;
2. in our opinion, proper books of accounts as required by laws were kept by the Bank so far as it
appeared from our examination of those books and proper returns adequate for the purpose of our
audit have been received from the branches not visited by us;
3. the Banks balance sheet and profit and loss account dealt with by the report are in agreement with
the books of accounts and returns;
4. the expenditures incurred were for the purpose of the Banks operations;
5. the financial statements have been drawn up in conformity with the Bank Companies Act 1991 and in
accordance with the accounting rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank;
6. adequate provisions have been made for advances and other assets which are, in our opinion,
doubtful of recovery;
7. information on adequate capital requirement of the Bank under BASEL-II, as determined at the
year-end, has been stated in item# 4 of the Emphasis of Matters paragraph;
8. the records and statements submitted by the branches have been properly maintained and
consolidated in the financial statements;
9. the information and explanations required by us have been received and found satisfactory;
10. 80% of the risk-weighted assets have been reviewed spending over 16,500 hours; and
11. guidelines of Core Risk Management issued by Bangladesh Bank vide BRPD circular no. 17 dated 7
October 2003 were not fully complied with.

AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF AGRANI BANK LIMITED
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited and its
subsidiaries (the Group) as well as financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited ("the Bank") for the year
ended 31 December 2012 which comprise the balance sheet, profit and loss account, cash flow statement
and statement of changes in equity and the related notes 1-54 thereto.
The financial statements of the Banks subsidiaries, Agrani Exchange House (Pvt.) Limited, Singapore,
Agrani Remittance House SDN. BHD. Malaysia, Agrani Equity and Investment Limited and Agrani SME
Financing Company Limited for the year ended 31 December 2012, as incorporated in the consolidated
financial statements, have been audited by other firms of chartered accountants whose reports have been
furnished to us. The assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the subsidiary included in the consolidated
financial statements of the Group are not material in the context of consolidated figures given in the
consolidated financial statements.
Management Responsibilities for the Financial Statements
Management of Agrani Bank Limited is responsible for the preparation of financial statements in
accordance with Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards and Bangladesh Bank Guidelines and for
such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with Bangladesh Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply
with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entitys preparation
and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above which have been prepared in accordance with
Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (except for BAS-21 in the case of consolidated financial
statements) give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group/ Bank as at 31 December 2012 and
of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended and comply with the Companies Act
1994, the Bank Companies Act 1991, the rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank and other
applicable laws and regulations.
Emphasis of Matters
We draw attention to the following matters, though our opinion is not qualified in respect of the same:
1. As disclosed in note # 2.6.5 to the financial statements, while preparing the consolidated financial
statements the Bank used closing exchange rates for translating all the financial statements items of

AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF AGRANI BANK LIMITED
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited and its
subsidiaries (the Group) as well as financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited ("the Bank") for the year
ended 31 December 2012 which comprise the balance sheet, profit and loss account, cash flow statement
and statement of changes in equity and the related notes 1-54 thereto.
The financial statements of the Banks subsidiaries, Agrani Exchange House (Pvt.) Limited, Singapore,
Agrani Remittance House SDN. BHD. Malaysia, Agrani Equity and Investment Limited and Agrani SME
Financing Company Limited for the year ended 31 December 2012, as incorporated in the consolidated
financial statements, have been audited by other firms of chartered accountants whose reports have been
furnished to us. The assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the subsidiary included in the consolidated
financial statements of the Group are not material in the context of consolidated figures given in the
consolidated financial statements.
Management Responsibilities for the Financial Statements
Management of Agrani Bank Limited is responsible for the preparation of financial statements in
accordance with Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards and Bangladesh Bank Guidelines and for
such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with Bangladesh Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply
with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entitys preparation
and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above which have been prepared in accordance with
Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (except for BAS-21 in the case of consolidated financial
statements) give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group/ Bank as at 31 December 2012 and
of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended and comply with the Companies Act
1994, the Bank Companies Act 1991, the rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank and other
applicable laws and regulations.
Emphasis of Matters
We draw attention to the following matters, though our opinion is not qualified in respect of the same:
1. As disclosed in note # 2.6.5 to the financial statements, while preparing the consolidated financial
statements the Bank used closing exchange rates for translating all the financial statements items of
the two foreign subsidiaries which are not in compliance with BAS-21, though such a non-compliance
does not have any material effect on the financial statements.
2. As disclosed in note # 6.4 to the financial statements, the Bank reported other Investments Tk. 2,541
crore which includes shares for an aggregate amount of Tk.300 crore of BEXIMCO Ltd., GMG Airlines
and Unique Hotel & Resorts Ltd. under sale and buy back agreements which have expired. The
ownership of Tk.233 crore shares under the above sale and buy back agreements have not yet been
transferred in the name of the Bank and a provision for loss of TK. 125 crore has been made against
such investments.
3. As disclosed in note # 9 to the financial statements, Other Assets include a net Branch adjustment
amount of Tk.173 crore (such amount in 2011 was Tk.568 crore). This needs to be reconciled as early
as possible.
4. As disclosed in note # 13.4 and 13.4(a) to the financial statements, there is a shortfall of capital
amounting to Tk.3,465 crore and Tk.3,414 crore respectively as at 31 December 2012, which is a
non-compliance with the BASEL-II requirement.
We further report that:

AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF AGRANI BANK LIMITED
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited and its
subsidiaries (the Group) as well as financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited ("the Bank") for the year
ended 31 December 2012 which comprise the balance sheet, profit and loss account, cash flow statement
and statement of changes in equity and the related notes 1-54 thereto.
The financial statements of the Banks subsidiaries, Agrani Exchange House (Pvt.) Limited, Singapore,
Agrani Remittance House SDN. BHD. Malaysia, Agrani Equity and Investment Limited and Agrani SME
Financing Company Limited for the year ended 31 December 2012, as incorporated in the consolidated
financial statements, have been audited by other firms of chartered accountants whose reports have been
furnished to us. The assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the subsidiary included in the consolidated
financial statements of the Group are not material in the context of consolidated figures given in the
consolidated financial statements.
Management Responsibilities for the Financial Statements
Management of Agrani Bank Limited is responsible for the preparation of financial statements in
accordance with Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards and Bangladesh Bank Guidelines and for
such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with Bangladesh Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply
with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entitys preparation
and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above which have been prepared in accordance with
Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (except for BAS-21 in the case of consolidated financial
statements) give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group/ Bank as at 31 December 2012 and
of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended and comply with the Companies Act
1994, the Bank Companies Act 1991, the rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank and other
applicable laws and regulations.
Emphasis of Matters
We draw attention to the following matters, though our opinion is not qualified in respect of the same:
1. As disclosed in note # 2.6.5 to the financial statements, while preparing the consolidated financial
statements the Bank used closing exchange rates for translating all the financial statements items of
the two foreign subsidiaries which are not in compliance with BAS-21, though such a non-compliance
does not have any material effect on the financial statements.
2. As disclosed in note # 6.4 to the financial statements, the Bank reported other Investments Tk. 2,541
crore which includes shares for an aggregate amount of Tk.300 crore of BEXIMCO Ltd., GMG Airlines
and Unique Hotel & Resorts Ltd. under sale and buy back agreements which have expired. The
ownership of Tk.233 crore shares under the above sale and buy back agreements have not yet been
transferred in the name of the Bank and a provision for loss of TK. 125 crore has been made against
such investments.
3. As disclosed in note # 9 to the financial statements, Other Assets include a net Branch adjustment
amount of Tk.173 crore (such amount in 2011 was Tk.568 crore). This needs to be reconciled as early
as possible.
4. As disclosed in note # 13.4 and 13.4(a) to the financial statements, there is a shortfall of capital
amounting to Tk.3,465 crore and Tk.3,414 crore respectively as at 31 December 2012, which is a
non-compliance with the BASEL-II requirement.
We further report that:
1. we have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief
were necessary for the purpose of our audit and made due verification thereof;
2. in our opinion, proper books of accounts as required by laws were kept by the Bank so far as it
appeared from our examination of those books and proper returns adequate for the purpose of our
audit have been received from the branches not visited by us;
3. the Banks balance sheet and profit and loss account dealt with by the report are in agreement with
the books of accounts and returns;
4. the expenditures incurred were for the purpose of the Banks operations;
5. the financial statements have been drawn up in conformity with the Bank Companies Act 1991 and in
accordance with the accounting rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank;

AUDITORS' REPORT
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF AGRANI BANK LIMITED
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited and its
subsidiaries (the Group) as well as financial statements of Agrani Bank Limited ("the Bank") for the year
ended 31 December 2012 which comprise the balance sheet, profit and loss account, cash flow statement
and statement of changes in equity and the related notes 1-54 thereto.
The financial statements of the Banks subsidiaries, Agrani Exchange House (Pvt.) Limited, Singapore,
Agrani Remittance House SDN. BHD. Malaysia, Agrani Equity and Investment Limited and Agrani SME
Financing Company Limited for the year ended 31 December 2012, as incorporated in the consolidated
financial statements, have been audited by other firms of chartered accountants whose reports have been
furnished to us. The assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses of the subsidiary included in the consolidated
financial statements of the Group are not material in the context of consolidated figures given in the
consolidated financial statements.
Management Responsibilities for the Financial Statements
Management of Agrani Bank Limited is responsible for the preparation of financial statements in
accordance with Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards and Bangladesh Bank Guidelines and for
such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors' Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted
our audit in accordance with Bangladesh Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply
with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether
the financial statements are free from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment including the
assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.
In making those risk assessments, the auditors consider internal control relevant to the entitys preparation
and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in
the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entitys
internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our
audit opinion.
Opinion
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above which have been prepared in accordance with
Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (except for BAS-21 in the case of consolidated financial
statements) give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Group/ Bank as at 31 December 2012 and
of their financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended and comply with the Companies Act
1994, the Bank Companies Act 1991, the rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank and other
applicable laws and regulations.
Emphasis of Matters
We draw attention to the following matters, though our opinion is not qualified in respect of the same:
1. As disclosed in note # 2.6.5 to the financial statements, while preparing the consolidated financial
statements the Bank used closing exchange rates for translating all the financial statements items of
the two foreign subsidiaries which are not in compliance with BAS-21, though such a non-compliance
does not have any material effect on the financial statements.
2. As disclosed in note # 6.4 to the financial statements, the Bank reported other Investments Tk. 2,541
crore which includes shares for an aggregate amount of Tk.300 crore of BEXIMCO Ltd., GMG Airlines
and Unique Hotel & Resorts Ltd. under sale and buy back agreements which have expired. The
ownership of Tk.233 crore shares under the above sale and buy back agreements have not yet been
transferred in the name of the Bank and a provision for loss of TK. 125 crore has been made against
such investments.
3. As disclosed in note # 9 to the financial statements, Other Assets include a net Branch adjustment
amount of Tk.173 crore (such amount in 2011 was Tk.568 crore). This needs to be reconciled as early
as possible.
4. As disclosed in note # 13.4 and 13.4(a) to the financial statements, there is a shortfall of capital
amounting to Tk.3,465 crore and Tk.3,414 crore respectively as at 31 December 2012, which is a
non-compliance with the BASEL-II requirement.
We further report that:
1. we have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief
were necessary for the purpose of our audit and made due verification thereof;
2. in our opinion, proper books of accounts as required by laws were kept by the Bank so far as it
appeared from our examination of those books and proper returns adequate for the purpose of our
audit have been received from the branches not visited by us;
3. the Banks balance sheet and profit and loss account dealt with by the report are in agreement with
the books of accounts and returns;
4. the expenditures incurred were for the purpose of the Banks operations;
5. the financial statements have been drawn up in conformity with the Bank Companies Act 1991 and in
accordance with the accounting rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank;
6. adequate provisions have been made for advances and other assets which are, in our opinion,
doubtful of recovery;
7. information on adequate capital requirement of the Bank under BASEL-II, as determined at the
year-end, has been stated in item# 4 of the Emphasis of Matters paragraph;
8. the records and statements submitted by the branches have been properly maintained and
consolidated in the financial statements;
9. the information and explanations required by us have been received and found satisfactory;
10. 80% of the risk-weighted assets have been reviewed spending over 16,500 hours; and
11. guidelines of Core Risk Management issued by Bangladesh Bank vide BRPD circular no. 17 dated 7
October 2003 were not fully complied with.

The risks of Agrani Bank Limited have been defined as the possibility of losses, financial or

Credit Risk Management, Foreign Exchange Risk Management, Asset Liability Management,
Prevention of Money Laundering, establishment of Internal Control & Compliance and
Information & Communication Technology (ICT) risk. The prime objective of the risk management
is that the Bank takes well calculative business risks while safeguarding the Bank's capital, its
financial resources and profitability from various risks. In this context, the Bank has implemented
various steps as per the guidelines of Bangladesh Bank.
2.29.1 Credit Risk Management
Credit Risk is one of the prime risks of the Bank. It indicates the potential loss arising from
contractual failure of the borrower with the Bank. The failure may be resulted from unwillingness
of the borrower to repay or due to decline of the financial conditions. Therefore, Bank's Credit
Risk Management activities have been designed to address all these issues.
On the basis of Bangladesh Bank's Credit Risk Management (CRM) policies, Agrani Bank
Limited has formulated a Manual of Credit Risk Management Policies which has been approved
by Bank's Board of Directors, already in force. These help to bring the credit operation of the
Bank to the level of international standard.
The organizational structure of Bank's Head Office has been designed in line with CRM
guidelines. The duties of the officers/executives, working in credit areas, have been segregated
for smooth functioning. Credit approval, administration, monitoring and recovery function have
been segregated and functioning accordingly. Credit Risk Management activities ensure
maintaining asset quality, assessing risks in lending to particular customer, sanctioning credit,
formulating policy/strategy for lending operation, etc.
A thorough due diligence is done before sanction of any credit facility as per Credit Risk
Management Policy. The risk assessment includes borrower risk analysis, financial analysis,
industry analysis, historical performance of the customer, security against credit facility, etc. The
assessment process is initiated at Branch/Credit Division which is placed before the Credit
Committee (CRE-COM)/Board for approval/decline.
In determining single borrower/large loan limit, the instructions of Bangladesh Bank are strictly
followed. Internal Audit is conducted at periodical interval to ensure compliance of the policies of
the Bank and Regulatory bodies.
2.29.2 Foreign Exchange Risk Management
The risk of foreign exchange transactions has been streamlined to earn a potential gain through
the Treasury Department. i.e. Fund Management Division which is run by a group of structured
manpower. Although the global economic scenario was very much alarming because of the crisis
in all economic phenomena, still the Bank has faced it prudently leading to higher profit compared
with the previous record of the Bank. It has become possible by Treasury Department through
optimum use of open position limit fixed by Bangladesh Bank with a view to generating maximum
revenue.
There is an active participation in inter-bank foreign exchange market. The foreign exchange risk
of the Bank is minimal as majority of the transactions are carried out on behalf of the customers
requirement for various trade finance and remittance activities. The Bank did not conduct any
speculative deal in foreign currency for the year. To minimize any potential loss arising from
currency fluctuation, the Bank does conduct cross currency activities to consolidate its currency
position into a single foreign currency by converting its inflow of various currencies due to
customers export activities and remittances from abroad.
In compliance with the Bangladesh Bank Guidelines, Agrani Bank Limited has prepared Foreign
Exchange Risk Management Manual covering the Foreign Exchange Risk and Policy related with
Foreign Exchange dealings. As per terms and conditions of the Manual, Treasury Front Office,
Back Office and Mid Office have been established under separate management.
To facilitate the treasury functions, individual limit for the dealers and dealing room limit including
Stop Loss limit, Trigger limit and Counter Party limit have been fixed up and therefore there is no
scope to take any excessive risk by any dealer. To keep the deal very much transparent and to
avoid the future dispute a Voice Recorder has been set-up in the dealing room. The foreign
exchange risk of the Bank is minimal as all the transactions are carried out on behalf of the
customer against L/C commitment and other outward remittances. No dealing on Bank's account
was conducted during the year.
To support the activities of Treasury Department, an independent Treasury Back Office is
functioning through an independent organizational chain. The personnel working under Back
Office are very much well equipped to settle and reconcile the day to day deal transactions. Back
Office is responsible for verification of the deals and passing of entries in the books of accounts.
All Nostro accounts are reconciled on fortnightly basis and the management for its settlement
reviews outstanding entry beyond 15 days.
2.29.3 Asset Liability Management (ALM)
Asset and Liability Management is one of the key essentials of managing a Banks balance sheet
efficiently. In line with the ongoing reform and modernization program, Agrani Bank Limited has

reviewing these risk exposures and advised for both the opportunities and threats to its liquidity
and balance sheet positions as well as positions of maturing assets and liquidity contingency
plan. The Bank maintained its liquidity at satisfactory level to meet the requirements of all types

2.29 Risk management
The risks of Agrani Bank Limited have been defined as the possibility of losses, financial or
otherwise. The Risk Management of the Bank covers 6 (six) Core Risk Areas of banking i.e.
Credit Risk Management, Foreign Exchange Risk Management, Asset Liability Management,
Prevention of Money Laundering, establishment of Internal Control & Compliance and
Information & Communication Technology (ICT) risk. The prime objective of the risk management
is that the Bank takes well calculative business risks while safeguarding the Bank's capital, its
financial resources and profitability from various risks. In this context, the Bank has implemented
various steps as per the guidelines of Bangladesh Bank.
2.29.1 Credit Risk Management
Credit Risk is one of the prime risks of the Bank. It indicates the potential loss arising from
contractual failure of the borrower with the Bank. The failure may be resulted from unwillingness
of the borrower to repay or due to decline of the financial conditions. Therefore, Bank's Credit
Risk Management activities have been designed to address all these issues.
On the basis of Bangladesh Bank's Credit Risk Management (CRM) policies, Agrani Bank
Limited has formulated a Manual of Credit Risk Management Policies which has been approved
by Bank's Board of Directors, already in force. These help to bring the credit operation of the
Bank to the level of international standard.
The organizational structure of Bank's Head Office has been designed in line with CRM
guidelines. The duties of the officers/executives, working in credit areas, have been segregated
for smooth functioning. Credit approval, administration, monitoring and recovery function have
been segregated and functioning accordingly. Credit Risk Management activities ensure
maintaining asset quality, assessing risks in lending to particular customer, sanctioning credit,
formulating policy/strategy for lending operation, etc.
A thorough due diligence is done before sanction of any credit facility as per Credit Risk
Management Policy. The risk assessment includes borrower risk analysis, financial analysis,
industry analysis, historical performance of the customer, security against credit facility, etc. The
assessment process is initiated at Branch/Credit Division which is placed before the Credit
Committee (CRE-COM)/Board for approval/decline.
In determining single borrower/large loan limit, the instructions of Bangladesh Bank are strictly
followed. Internal Audit is conducted at periodical interval to ensure compliance of the policies of
the Bank and Regulatory bodies.
2.29.2 Foreign Exchange Risk Management
The risk of foreign exchange transactions has been streamlined to earn a potential gain through
the Treasury Department. i.e. Fund Management Division which is run by a group of structured
manpower. Although the global economic scenario was very much alarming because of the crisis
in all economic phenomena, still the Bank has faced it prudently leading to higher profit compared
with the previous record of the Bank. It has become possible by Treasury Department through
optimum use of open position limit fixed by Bangladesh Bank with a view to generating maximum
revenue.
There is an active participation in inter-bank foreign exchange market. The foreign exchange risk
of the Bank is minimal as majority of the transactions are carried out on behalf of the customers
requirement for various trade finance and remittance activities. The Bank did not conduct any
speculative deal in foreign currency for the year. To minimize any potential loss arising from
currency fluctuation, the Bank does conduct cross currency activities to consolidate its currency
position into a single foreign currency by converting its inflow of various currencies due to
customers export activities and remittances from abroad.
In compliance with the Bangladesh Bank Guidelines, Agrani Bank Limited has prepared Foreign
Exchange Risk Management Manual covering the Foreign Exchange Risk and Policy related with
Foreign Exchange dealings. As per terms and conditions of the Manual, Treasury Front Office,
Back Office and Mid Office have been established under separate management.
To facilitate the treasury functions, individual limit for the dealers and dealing room limit including
Stop Loss limit, Trigger limit and Counter Party limit have been fixed up and therefore there is no
scope to take any excessive risk by any dealer. To keep the deal very much transparent and to
avoid the future dispute a Voice Recorder has been set-up in the dealing room. The foreign
exchange risk of the Bank is minimal as all the transactions are carried out on behalf of the
customer against L/C commitment and other outward remittances. No dealing on Bank's account
was conducted during the year.
To support the activities of Treasury Department, an independent Treasury Back Office is
functioning through an independent organizational chain. The personnel working under Back
Office are very much well equipped to settle and reconcile the day to day deal transactions. Back

2.29 Risk management
The risks of Agrani Bank Limited have been defined as the possibility of losses, financial or
otherwise. The Risk Management of the Bank covers 6 (six) Core Risk Areas of banking i.e.
Credit Risk Management, Foreign Exchange Risk Management, Asset Liability Management,
Prevention of Money Laundering, establishment of Internal Control & Compliance and
Information & Communication Technology (ICT) risk. The prime objective of the risk management
is that the Bank takes well calculative business risks while safeguarding the Bank's capital, its
financial resources and profitability from various risks. In this context, the Bank has implemented
various steps as per the guidelines of Bangladesh Bank.
2.29.1 Credit Risk Management
Credit Risk is one of the prime risks of the Bank. It indicates the potential loss arising from
contractual failure of the borrower with the Bank. The failure may be resulted from unwillingness
of the borrower to repay or due to decline of the financial conditions. Therefore, Bank's Credit
Risk Management activities have been designed to address all these issues.
On the basis of Bangladesh Bank's Credit Risk Management (CRM) policies, Agrani Bank
Limited has formulated a Manual of Credit Risk Management Policies which has been approved
by Bank's Board of Directors, already in force. These help to bring the credit operation of the
Bank to the level of international standard.
The organizational structure of Bank's Head Office has been designed in line with CRM
guidelines. The duties of the officers/executives, working in credit areas, have been segregated
for smooth functioning. Credit approval, administration, monitoring and recovery function have
been segregated and functioning accordingly. Credit Risk Management activities ensure
maintaining asset quality, assessing risks in lending to particular customer, sanctioning credit,
formulating policy/strategy for lending operation, etc.
A thorough due diligence is done before sanction of any credit facility as per Credit Risk
Management Policy. The risk assessment includes borrower risk analysis, financial analysis,
industry analysis, historical performance of the customer, security against credit facility, etc. The
assessment process is initiated at Branch/Credit Division which is placed before the Credit
Committee (CRE-COM)/Board for approval/decline.
In determining single borrower/large loan limit, the instructions of Bangladesh Bank are strictly
followed. Internal Audit is conducted at periodical interval to ensure compliance of the policies of
the Bank and Regulatory bodies.
2.29.2 Foreign Exchange Risk Management
The risk of foreign exchange transactions has been streamlined to earn a potential gain through
the Treasury Department. i.e. Fund Management Division which is run by a group of structured
manpower. Although the global economic scenario was very much alarming because of the crisis
in all economic phenomena, still the Bank has faced it prudently leading to higher profit compared
with the previous record of the Bank. It has become possible by Treasury Department through
optimum use of open position limit fixed by Bangladesh Bank with a view to generating maximum
revenue.
There is an active participation in inter-bank foreign exchange market. The foreign exchange risk
of the Bank is minimal as majority of the transactions are carried out on behalf of the customers
requirement for various trade finance and remittance activities. The Bank did not conduct any
speculative deal in foreign currency for the year. To minimize any potential loss arising from
currency fluctuation, the Bank does conduct cross currency activities to consolidate its currency
position into a single foreign currency by converting its inflow of various currencies due to
customers export activities and remittances from abroad.
In compliance with the Bangladesh Bank Guidelines, Agrani Bank Limited has prepared Foreign
Exchange Risk Management Manual covering the Foreign Exchange Risk and Policy related with
Foreign Exchange dealings. As per terms and conditions of the Manual, Treasury Front Office,
Back Office and Mid Office have been established under separate management.
To facilitate the treasury functions, individual limit for the dealers and dealing room limit including
Stop Loss limit, Trigger limit and Counter Party limit have been fixed up and therefore there is no
scope to take any excessive risk by any dealer. To keep the deal very much transparent and to
avoid the future dispute a Voice Recorder has been set-up in the dealing room. The foreign
exchange risk of the Bank is minimal as all the transactions are carried out on behalf of the
customer against L/C commitment and other outward remittances. No dealing on Bank's account
was conducted during the year.
To support the activities of Treasury Department, an independent Treasury Back Office is
functioning through an independent organizational chain. The personnel working under Back
Office are very much well equipped to settle and reconcile the day to day deal transactions. Back
Office is responsible for verification of the deals and passing of entries in the books of accounts.
All Nostro accounts are reconciled on fortnightly basis and the management for its settlement
reviews outstanding entry beyond 15 days.
2.29.3 Asset Liability Management (ALM)
Asset and Liability Management is one of the key essentials of managing a Banks balance sheet
efficiently. In line with the ongoing reform and modernization program, Agrani Bank Limited has
retooled its ALM to deliver modern, dynamic, vibrant & futuristic process through the adaptation
of international best recognized practice.
Considering all the risk factors Agrani Bank Limited has established an effective ALM process for
assessing, analyzing and reviewing various kinds of risk exposures arising from the composition
and dynamics of the balance sheet. Asset Liability Committee (ALCOM) of the Bank is regularly
reviewing these risk exposures and advised for both the opportunities and threats to its liquidity
and balance sheet positions as well as positions of maturing assets and liquidity contingency
plan. The Bank maintained its liquidity at satisfactory level to meet the requirements of all types
of customers.
At present the markets are fraught with various kinds of risk around the corner. Each element of
risk is segmented, fragmented and quantified before it is loaded in the balance sheet of the Bank.
A clear balance sheet management strategy is articulated to senior management from the
beginning of the year so that they are fully aware of the ALM strategies.
2.29.4 Prevention of Money Laundering
Money laundering risk is defined as the loss of reputation and expenses incurred as penalty for
being negligent in prevention of money laundering. For mitigating the risks the Bank has a
designated Chief Compliance Officer at Head Office and compliance officers at branches, who
independently review the transactions of the accounts to verify suspicious transactions. Manuals
for prevention of money laundering have been established. Meticulous records of `Know Your
Customer (KYC) & Transaction Profile (TP) are being maintained. Cash Transaction Report
(CTR) and Suspicious Transaction Report (STR) (if any observed) are sent to competent
authority in strict adherence to Central Bank directives. Training has been continuously given to
the category of officers and executives for developing awareness and skills for identifying
suspicious activities.
2.29.5 Internal Control and Compliance
Operational loss may arise from error and fraud due to lack of internal control and compliance.
Management, through Internal Control and Compliance Division, controls operational procedure
of the Bank. According to the Bangladesh Bank guidelines, Agrani Bank Ltd. has introduced three
Units under Internal Control and Compliance (ICC). The three units are: Compliance, Monitoring
and Audit and Inspection. The Monitoring unit is named as Audit Implementation Division. Internal
Audit and Inspection Division undertakes periodical and special audit of the branches and
divisions at Head Office for review of operational effectiveness and internal/external compliance
requirements. The Board Audit Committee subsequently reviews the very serious lapses (VSLs)

2.29 Risk management
The risks of Agrani Bank Limited have been defined as the possibility of losses, financial or
otherwise. The Risk Management of the Bank covers 6 (six) Core Risk Areas of banking i.e.
Credit Risk Management, Foreign Exchange Risk Management, Asset Liability Management,
Prevention of Money Laundering, establishment of Internal Control & Compliance and
Information & Communication Technology (ICT) risk. The prime objective of the risk management
is that the Bank takes well calculative business risks while safeguarding the Bank's capital, its
financial resources and profitability from various risks. In this context, the Bank has implemented
various steps as per the guidelines of Bangladesh Bank.
2.29.1 Credit Risk Management
Credit Risk is one of the prime risks of the Bank. It indicates the potential loss arising from
contractual failure of the borrower with the Bank. The failure may be resulted from unwillingness
of the borrower to repay or due to decline of the financial conditions. Therefore, Bank's Credit
Risk Management activities have been designed to address all these issues.
On the basis of Bangladesh Bank's Credit Risk Management (CRM) policies, Agrani Bank
Limited has formulated a Manual of Credit Risk Management Policies which has been approved
by Bank's Board of Directors, already in force. These help to bring the credit operation of the
Bank to the level of international standard.
The organizational structure of Bank's Head Office has been designed in line with CRM
guidelines. The duties of the officers/executives, working in credit areas, have been segregated
for smooth functioning. Credit approval, administration, monitoring and recovery function have
been segregated and functioning accordingly. Credit Risk Management activities ensure
maintaining asset quality, assessing risks in lending to particular customer, sanctioning credit,
formulating policy/strategy for lending operation, etc.
A thorough due diligence is done before sanction of any credit facility as per Credit Risk
Management Policy. The risk assessment includes borrower risk analysis, financial analysis,
industry analysis, historical performance of the customer, security against credit facility, etc. The
assessment process is initiated at Branch/Credit Division which is placed before the Credit
Committee (CRE-COM)/Board for approval/decline.
In determining single borrower/large loan limit, the instructions of Bangladesh Bank are strictly
followed. Internal Audit is conducted at periodical interval to ensure compliance of the policies of
the Bank and Regulatory bodies.
2.29.2 Foreign Exchange Risk Management
The risk of foreign exchange transactions has been streamlined to earn a potential gain through
the Treasury Department. i.e. Fund Management Division which is run by a group of structured
manpower. Although the global economic scenario was very much alarming because of the crisis
in all economic phenomena, still the Bank has faced it prudently leading to higher profit compared
with the previous record of the Bank. It has become possible by Treasury Department through
optimum use of open position limit fixed by Bangladesh Bank with a view to generating maximum
revenue.
There is an active participation in inter-bank foreign exchange market. The foreign exchange risk
of the Bank is minimal as majority of the transactions are carried out on behalf of the customers
requirement for various trade finance and remittance activities. The Bank did not conduct any
speculative deal in foreign currency for the year. To minimize any potential loss arising from
currency fluctuation, the Bank does conduct cross currency activities to consolidate its currency
position into a single foreign currency by converting its inflow of various currencies due to
customers export activities and remittances from abroad.
In compliance with the Bangladesh Bank Guidelines, Agrani Bank Limited has prepared Foreign
Exchange Risk Management Manual covering the Foreign Exchange Risk and Policy related with
Foreign Exchange dealings. As per terms and conditions of the Manual, Treasury Front Office,
Back Office and Mid Office have been established under separate management.
To facilitate the treasury functions, individual limit for the dealers and dealing room limit including
Stop Loss limit, Trigger limit and Counter Party limit have been fixed up and therefore there is no
scope to take any excessive risk by any dealer. To keep the deal very much transparent and to
avoid the future dispute a Voice Recorder has been set-up in the dealing room. The foreign
exchange risk of the Bank is minimal as all the transactions are carried out on behalf of the
customer against L/C commitment and other outward remittances. No dealing on Bank's account

efficiently. In line with the ongoing reform and modernization program, Agrani Bank Limited has
retooled its ALM to deliver modern, dynamic, vibrant & futuristic process through the adaptation
of international best recognized practice.

assessing, analyzing and reviewing various kinds of risk exposures arising from the composition
and dynamics of the balance sheet. Asset Liability Committee (ALCOM) of the Bank is regularly
reviewing these risk exposures and advised for both the opportunities and threats to its liquidity
and balance sheet positions as well as positions of maturing assets and liquidity contingency
plan. The Bank maintained its liquidity at satisfactory level to meet the requirements of all types
of customers.

Customer (KYC) & Transaction Profile (TP) are being maintained. Cash Transaction Report
(CTR) and Suspicious Transaction Report (STR) (if any observed) are sent to competent
authority in strict adherence to Central Bank directives. Training has been continuously given to

Management Policy. The risk assessment includes borrower risk analysis, financial analysis,
industry analysis, historical performance of the customer, security against credit facility, etc. The
assessment process is initiated at Branch/Credit Division which is placed before the Credit
Committee (CRE-COM)/Board for approval/decline.

the Treasury Department. i.e. Fund Management Division which is run by a group of structured
manpower. Although the global economic scenario was very much alarming because of the crisis
in all economic phenomena, still the Bank has faced it prudently leading to higher profit compared
with the previous record of the Bank. It has become possible by Treasury Department through
optimum use of open position limit fixed by Bangladesh Bank with a view to generating maximum
revenue.
There is an active participation in inter-bank foreign exchange market. The foreign exchange risk
of the Bank is minimal as majority of the transactions are carried out on behalf of the customers
requirement for various trade finance and remittance activities. The Bank did not conduct any
speculative deal in foreign currency for the year. To minimize any potential loss arising from
currency fluctuation, the Bank does conduct cross currency activities to consolidate its currency
position into a single foreign currency by converting its inflow of various currencies due to
customers export activities and remittances from abroad.
In compliance with the Bangladesh Bank Guidelines, Agrani Bank Limited has prepared Foreign
Exchange Risk Management Manual covering the Foreign Exchange Risk and Policy related with
Foreign Exchange dealings. As per terms and conditions of the Manual, Treasury Front Office,
Back Office and Mid Office have been established under separate management.
To facilitate the treasury functions, individual limit for the dealers and dealing room limit including
Stop Loss limit, Trigger limit and Counter Party limit have been fixed up and therefore there is no
scope to take any excessive risk by any dealer. To keep the deal very much transparent and to
avoid the future dispute a Voice Recorder has been set-up in the dealing room. The foreign
exchange risk of the Bank is minimal as all the transactions are carried out on behalf of the
customer against L/C commitment and other outward remittances. No dealing on Bank's account
was conducted during the year.
To support the activities of Treasury Department, an independent Treasury Back Office is
functioning through an independent organizational chain. The personnel working under Back
Office are very much well equipped to settle and reconcile the day to day deal transactions. Back
Office is responsible for verification of the deals and passing of entries in the books of accounts.
All Nostro accounts are reconciled on fortnightly basis and the management for its settlement
reviews outstanding entry beyond 15 days.
2.29.3 Asset Liability Management (ALM)
Asset and Liability Management is one of the key essentials of managing a Banks balance sheet
efficiently. In line with the ongoing reform and modernization program, Agrani Bank Limited has
retooled its ALM to deliver modern, dynamic, vibrant & futuristic process through the adaptation
of international best recognized practice.
Considering all the risk factors Agrani Bank Limited has established an effective ALM process for
assessing, analyzing and reviewing various kinds of risk exposures arising from the composition
and dynamics of the balance sheet. Asset Liability Committee (ALCOM) of the Bank is regularly
reviewing these risk exposures and advised for both the opportunities and threats to its liquidity
and balance sheet positions as well as positions of maturing assets and liquidity contingency
plan. The Bank maintained its liquidity at satisfactory level to meet the requirements of all types
of customers.
At present the markets are fraught with various kinds of risk around the corner. Each element of
risk is segmented, fragmented and quantified before it is loaded in the balance sheet of the Bank.
A clear balance sheet management strategy is articulated to senior management from the
beginning of the year so that they are fully aware of the ALM strategies.
2.29.4 Prevention of Money Laundering
Money laundering risk is defined as the loss of reputation and expenses incurred as penalty for
being negligent in prevention of money laundering. For mitigating the risks the Bank has a
designated Chief Compliance Officer at Head Office and compliance officers at branches, who
independently review the transactions of the accounts to verify suspicious transactions. Manuals
for prevention of money laundering have been established. Meticulous records of `Know Your
Customer (KYC) & Transaction Profile (TP) are being maintained. Cash Transaction Report
(CTR) and Suspicious Transaction Report (STR) (if any observed) are sent to competent
authority in strict adherence to Central Bank directives. Training has been continuously given to
the category of officers and executives for developing awareness and skills for identifying
suspicious activities.
2.29.5 Internal Control and Compliance
Operational loss may arise from error and fraud due to lack of internal control and compliance.
Management, through Internal Control and Compliance Division, controls operational procedure
of the Bank. According to the Bangladesh Bank guidelines, Agrani Bank Ltd. has introduced three
Units under Internal Control and Compliance (ICC). The three units are: Compliance, Monitoring
and Audit and Inspection. The Monitoring unit is named as Audit Implementation Division. Internal
Audit and Inspection Division undertakes periodical and special audit of the branches and
divisions at Head Office for review of operational effectiveness and internal/external compliance
requirements. The Board Audit Committee subsequently reviews the very serious lapses (VSLs)
identified by Audit and Inspection Division.

Management Policy. The risk assessment includes borrower risk analysis, financial analysis,
industry analysis, historical performance of the customer, security against credit facility, etc. The

Committee (CRE-COM)/Board for approval/decline.

followed. Internal Audit is conducted at periodical interval to ensure compliance of the policies of

2.29.2 Foreign Exchange Risk Management
The risk of foreign exchange transactions has been streamlined to earn a potential gain through
the Treasury Department. i.e. Fund Management Division which is run by a group of structured
manpower. Although the global economic scenario was very much alarming because of the crisis
in all economic phenomena, still the Bank has faced it prudently leading to higher profit compared
with the previous record of the Bank. It has become possible by Treasury Department through
optimum use of open position limit fixed by Bangladesh Bank with a view to generating maximum
revenue.
There is an active participation in inter-bank foreign exchange market. The foreign exchange risk
of the Bank is minimal as majority of the transactions are carried out on behalf of the customers
requirement for various trade finance and remittance activities. The Bank did not conduct any
speculative deal in foreign currency for the year. To minimize any potential loss arising from
currency fluctuation, the Bank does conduct cross currency activities to consolidate its currency
position into a single foreign currency by converting its inflow of various currencies due to
customers export activities and remittances from abroad.
In compliance with the Bangladesh Bank Guidelines, Agrani Bank Limited has prepared Foreign
Exchange Risk Management Manual covering the Foreign Exchange Risk and Policy related with
Foreign Exchange dealings. As per terms and conditions of the Manual, Treasury Front Office,
Back Office and Mid Office have been established under separate management.
To facilitate the treasury functions, individual limit for the dealers and dealing room limit including
Stop Loss limit, Trigger limit and Counter Party limit have been fixed up and therefore there is no
scope to take any excessive risk by any dealer. To keep the deal very much transparent and to
avoid the future dispute a Voice Recorder has been set-up in the dealing room. The foreign
exchange risk of the Bank is minimal as all the transactions are carried out on behalf of the
customer against L/C commitment and other outward remittances. No dealing on Bank's account
was conducted during the year.
To support the activities of Treasury Department, an independent Treasury Back Office is
functioning through an independent organizational chain. The personnel working under Back
Office are very much well equipped to settle and reconcile the day to day deal transactions. Back
Office is responsible for verification of the deals and passing of entries in the books of accounts.
All Nostro accounts are reconciled on fortnightly basis and the management for its settlement
reviews outstanding entry beyond 15 days.
2.29.3 Asset Liability Management (ALM)
Asset and Liability Management is one of the key essentials of managing a Banks balance sheet
efficiently. In line with the ongoing reform and modernization program, Agrani Bank Limited has
retooled its ALM to deliver modern, dynamic, vibrant & futuristic process through the adaptation
of international best recognized practice.
Considering all the risk factors Agrani Bank Limited has established an effective ALM process for
assessing, analyzing and reviewing various kinds of risk exposures arising from the composition
and dynamics of the balance sheet. Asset Liability Committee (ALCOM) of the Bank is regularly
reviewing these risk exposures and advised for both the opportunities and threats to its liquidity
and balance sheet positions as well as positions of maturing assets and liquidity contingency
plan. The Bank maintained its liquidity at satisfactory level to meet the requirements of all types
of customers.
At present the markets are fraught with various kinds of risk around the corner. Each element of
risk is segmented, fragmented and quantified before it is loaded in the balance sheet of the Bank.
A clear balance sheet management strategy is articulated to senior management from the
beginning of the year so that they are fully aware of the ALM strategies.
2.29.4 Prevention of Money Laundering
Money laundering risk is defined as the loss of reputation and expenses incurred as penalty for
being negligent in prevention of money laundering. For mitigating the risks the Bank has a
designated Chief Compliance Officer at Head Office and compliance officers at branches, who
independently review the transactions of the accounts to verify suspicious transactions. Manuals
for prevention of money laundering have been established. Meticulous records of `Know Your
Customer (KYC) & Transaction Profile (TP) are being maintained. Cash Transaction Report
(CTR) and Suspicious Transaction Report (STR) (if any observed) are sent to competent
authority in strict adherence to Central Bank directives. Training has been continuously given to
the category of officers and executives for developing awareness and skills for identifying
suspicious activities.
2.29.5 Internal Control and Compliance
Operational loss may arise from error and fraud due to lack of internal control and compliance.
Management, through Internal Control and Compliance Division, controls operational procedure
of the Bank. According to the Bangladesh Bank guidelines, Agrani Bank Ltd. has introduced three
Units under Internal Control and Compliance (ICC). The three units are: Compliance, Monitoring
and Audit and Inspection. The Monitoring unit is named as Audit Implementation Division. Internal
Audit and Inspection Division undertakes periodical and special audit of the branches and
divisions at Head Office for review of operational effectiveness and internal/external compliance
requirements. The Board Audit Committee subsequently reviews the very serious lapses (VSLs)
identified by Audit and Inspection Division.

maintaining asset quality, assessing risks in lending to particular customer, sanctioning credit,
formulating policy/strategy for lending operation, etc.
A thorough due diligence is done before sanction of any credit facility as per Credit Risk
Management Policy. The risk assessment includes borrower risk analysis, financial analysis,
industry analysis, historical performance of the customer, security against credit facility, etc. The
assessment process is initiated at Branch/Credit Division which is placed before the Credit
Committee (CRE-COM)/Board for approval/decline.
In determining single borrower/large loan limit, the instructions of Bangladesh Bank are strictly
followed. Internal Audit is conducted at periodical interval to ensure compliance of the policies of

2.29.2 Foreign Exchange Risk Management
The risk of foreign exchange transactions has been streamlined to earn a potential gain through
the Treasury Department. i.e. Fund Management Division which is run by a group of structured
manpower. Although the global economic scenario was very much alarming because of the crisis
in all economic phenomena, still the Bank has faced it prudently leading to higher profit compared
with the previous record of the Bank. It has become possible by Treasury Department through
optimum use of open position limit fixed by Bangladesh Bank with a view to generating maximum
revenue.
There is an active participation in inter-bank foreign exchange market. The foreign exchange risk
of the Bank is minimal as majority of the transactions are carried out on behalf of the customers
requirement for various trade finance and remittance activities. The Bank did not conduct any
speculative deal in foreign currency for the year. To minimize any potential loss arising from
currency fluctuation, the Bank does conduct cross currency activities to consolidate its currency
position into a single foreign currency by converting its inflow of various currencies due to
customers export activities and remittances from abroad.
In compliance with the Bangladesh Bank Guidelines, Agrani Bank Limited has prepared Foreign
Exchange Risk Management Manual covering the Foreign Exchange Risk and Policy related with
Foreign Exchange dealings. As per terms and conditions of the Manual, Treasury Front Office,
Back Office and Mid Office have been established under separate management.
To facilitate the treasury functions, individual limit for the dealers and dealing room limit including
Stop Loss limit, Trigger limit and Counter Party limit have been fixed up and therefore there is no
scope to take any excessive risk by any dealer. To keep the deal very much transparent and to
avoid the future dispute a Voice Recorder has been set-up in the dealing room. The foreign
exchange risk of the Bank is minimal as all the transactions are carried out on behalf of the
customer against L/C commitment and other outward remittances. No dealing on Bank's account
was conducted during the year.

functioning through an independent organizational chain. The personnel working under Back
Office are very much well equipped to settle and reconcile the day to day deal transactions. Back
Office is responsible for verification of the deals and passing of entries in the books of accounts.
All Nostro accounts are reconciled on fortnightly basis and the management for its settlement
reviews outstanding entry beyond 15 days.
2.29.3 Asset Liability Management (ALM)
Asset and Liability Management is one of the key essentials of managing a Banks balance sheet
efficiently. In line with the ongoing reform and modernization program, Agrani Bank Limited has
retooled its ALM to deliver modern, dynamic, vibrant & futuristic process through the adaptation
of international best recognized practice.
Considering all the risk factors Agrani Bank Limited has established an effective ALM process for
assessing, analyzing and reviewing various kinds of risk exposures arising from the composition
and dynamics of the balance sheet. Asset Liability Committee (ALCOM) of the Bank is regularly
reviewing these risk exposures and advised for both the opportunities and threats to its liquidity
and balance sheet positions as well as positions of maturing assets and liquidity contingency
plan. The Bank maintained its liquidity at satisfactory level to meet the requirements of all types
of customers.
At present the markets are fraught with various kinds of risk around the corner. Each element of
risk is segmented, fragmented and quantified before it is loaded in the balance sheet of the Bank.
A clear balance sheet management strategy is articulated to senior management from the
beginning of the year so that they are fully aware of the ALM strategies.
2.29.4 Prevention of Money Laundering
Money laundering risk is defined as the loss of reputation and expenses incurred as penalty for
being negligent in prevention of money laundering. For mitigating the risks the Bank has a
designated Chief Compliance Officer at Head Office and compliance officers at branches, who
independently review the transactions of the accounts to verify suspicious transactions. Manuals
for prevention of money laundering have been established. Meticulous records of `Know Your
Customer (KYC) & Transaction Profile (TP) are being maintained. Cash Transaction Report
(CTR) and Suspicious Transaction Report (STR) (if any observed) are sent to competent
authority in strict adherence to Central Bank directives. Training has been continuously given to
the category of officers and executives for developing awareness and skills for identifying
suspicious activities.
2.29.5 Internal Control and Compliance
Operational loss may arise from error and fraud due to lack of internal control and compliance.
Management, through Internal Control and Compliance Division, controls operational procedure
of the Bank. According to the Bangladesh Bank guidelines, Agrani Bank Ltd. has introduced three
Units under Internal Control and Compliance (ICC). The three units are: Compliance, Monitoring
and Audit and Inspection. The Monitoring unit is named as Audit Implementation Division. Internal
Audit and Inspection Division undertakes periodical and special audit of the branches and
divisions at Head Office for review of operational effectiveness and internal/external compliance
requirements. The Board Audit Committee subsequently reviews the very serious lapses (VSLs)
identified by Audit and Inspection Division.

of the borrower to repay or due to decline of the financial conditions. Therefore, Bank's Credit
Risk Management activities have been designed to address all these issues.
On the basis of Bangladesh Bank's Credit Risk Management (CRM) policies, Agrani Bank
Limited has formulated a Manual of Credit Risk Management Policies which has been approved
by Bank's Board of Directors, already in force. These help to bring the credit operation of the
Bank to the level of international standard.
The organizational structure of Bank's Head Office has been designed in line with CRM
guidelines. The duties of the officers/executives, working in credit areas, have been segregated
for smooth functioning. Credit approval, administration, monitoring and recovery function have
been segregated and functioning accordingly. Credit Risk Management activities ensure
maintaining asset quality, assessing risks in lending to particular customer, sanctioning credit,
formulating policy/strategy for lending operation, etc.
A thorough due diligence is done before sanction of any credit facility as per Credit Risk
Management Policy. The risk assessment includes borrower risk analysis, financial analysis,
industry analysis, historical performance of the customer, security against credit facility, etc. The
assessment process is initiated at Branch/Credit Division which is placed before the Credit
Committee (CRE-COM)/Board for approval/decline.
In determining single borrower/large loan limit, the instructions of Bangladesh Bank are strictly
followed. Internal Audit is conducted at periodical interval to ensure compliance of the policies of
the Bank and Regulatory bodies.
2.29.2 Foreign Exchange Risk Management
The risk of foreign exchange transactions has been streamlined to earn a potential gain through
the Treasury Department. i.e. Fund Management Division which is run by a group of structured
manpower. Although the global economic scenario was very much alarming because of the crisis
in all economic phenomena, still the Bank has faced it prudently leading to higher profit compared
with the previous record of the Bank. It has become possible by Treasury Department through
optimum use of open position limit fixed by Bangladesh Bank with a view to generating maximum
revenue.
There is an active participation in inter-bank foreign exchange market. The foreign exchange risk
of the Bank is minimal as majority of the transactions are carried out on behalf of the customers
requirement for various trade finance and remittance activities. The Bank did not conduct any
speculative deal in foreign currency for the year. To minimize any potential loss arising from
currency fluctuation, the Bank does conduct cross currency activities to consolidate its currency
position into a single foreign currency by converting its inflow of various currencies due to
customers export activities and remittances from abroad.
In compliance with the Bangladesh Bank Guidelines, Agrani Bank Limited has prepared Foreign
Exchange Risk Management Manual covering the Foreign Exchange Risk and Policy related with
Foreign Exchange dealings. As per terms and conditions of the Manual, Treasury Front Office,
Back Office and Mid Office have been established under separate management.
To facilitate the treasury functions, individual limit for the dealers and dealing room limit including
Stop Loss limit, Trigger limit and Counter Party limit have been fixed up and therefore there is no
scope to take any excessive risk by any dealer. To keep the deal very much transparent and to
avoid the future dispute a Voice Recorder has been set-up in the dealing room. The foreign
exchange risk of the Bank is minimal as all the transactions are carried out on behalf of the
customer against L/C commitment and other outward remittances. No dealing on Bank's account
was conducted during the year.
Year % of basic pay
1986 to 1994 10%
1995 to 1999 18%
2000 to 2003 25%
2004 to 2005 30%
2006 35% (Actuarial valuation has been performed and necessary
provision are being maintained in the accounts as per valuation)
2007 to 2012 30% (Necessary provisions are being maintained in the
accounts)
To support the activities of Treasury Department, an independent Treasury Back Office is
functioning through an independent organizational chain. The personnel working under Back
Office are very much well equipped to settle and reconcile the day to day deal transactions. Back
Office is responsible for verification of the deals and passing of entries in the books of accounts.
All Nostro accounts are reconciled on fortnightly basis and the management for its settlement
reviews outstanding entry beyond 15 days.
2.29.3 Asset Liability Management (ALM)
Asset and Liability Management is one of the key essentials of managing a Banks balance sheet
efficiently. In line with the ongoing reform and modernization program, Agrani Bank Limited has
retooled its ALM to deliver modern, dynamic, vibrant & futuristic process through the adaptation
of international best recognized practice.
Considering all the risk factors Agrani Bank Limited has established an effective ALM process for
assessing, analyzing and reviewing various kinds of risk exposures arising from the composition
and dynamics of the balance sheet. Asset Liability Committee (ALCOM) of the Bank is regularly
reviewing these risk exposures and advised for both the opportunities and threats to its liquidity
and balance sheet positions as well as positions of maturing assets and liquidity contingency
plan. The Bank maintained its liquidity at satisfactory level to meet the requirements of all types
of customers.
At present the markets are fraught with various kinds of risk around the corner. Each element of
risk is segmented, fragmented and quantified before it is loaded in the balance sheet of the Bank.
A clear balance sheet management strategy is articulated to senior management from the
beginning of the year so that they are fully aware of the ALM strategies.
2.29.4 Prevention of Money Laundering
Money laundering risk is defined as the loss of reputation and expenses incurred as penalty for
being negligent in prevention of money laundering. For mitigating the risks the Bank has a
designated Chief Compliance Officer at Head Office and compliance officers at branches, who
independently review the transactions of the accounts to verify suspicious transactions. Manuals
for prevention of money laundering have been established. Meticulous records of `Know Your
Customer (KYC) & Transaction Profile (TP) are being maintained. Cash Transaction Report
(CTR) and Suspicious Transaction Report (STR) (if any observed) are sent to competent
authority in strict adherence to Central Bank directives. Training has been continuously given to
the category of officers and executives for developing awareness and skills for identifying
suspicious activities.
2.29.5 Internal Control and Compliance
Operational loss may arise from error and fraud due to lack of internal control and compliance.
Management, through Internal Control and Compliance Division, controls operational procedure
of the Bank. According to the Bangladesh Bank guidelines, Agrani Bank Ltd. has introduced three
Units under Internal Control and Compliance (ICC). The three units are: Compliance, Monitoring
and Audit and Inspection. The Monitoring unit is named as Audit Implementation Division. Internal
Audit and Inspection Division undertakes periodical and special audit of the branches and
divisions at Head Office for review of operational effectiveness and internal/external compliance
requirements. The Board Audit Committee subsequently reviews the very serious lapses (VSLs)
identified by Audit and Inspection Division.

2.29 Risk management
The risks of Agrani Bank Limited have been defined as the possibility of losses, financial or
otherwise. The Risk Management of the Bank covers 6 (six) Core Risk Areas of banking i.e.
Credit Risk Management, Foreign Exchange Risk Management, Asset Liability Management,
Prevention of Money Laundering, establishment of Internal Control & Compliance and
Information & Communication Technology (ICT) risk. The prime objective of the risk management
is that the Bank takes well calculative business risks while safeguarding the Bank's capital, its
financial resources and profitability from various risks. In this context, the Bank has implemented
various steps as per the guidelines of Bangladesh Bank.
2.29.1 Credit Risk Management
Credit Risk is one of the prime risks of the Bank. It indicates the potential loss arising from
contractual failure of the borrower with the Bank. The failure may be resulted from unwillingness
of the borrower to repay or due to decline of the financial conditions. Therefore, Bank's Credit
Risk Management activities have been designed to address all these issues.
On the basis of Bangladesh Bank's Credit Risk Management (CRM) policies, Agrani Bank
Limited has formulated a Manual of Credit Risk Management Policies which has been approved
by Bank's Board of Directors, already in force. These help to bring the credit operation of the
Bank to the level of international standard.
The organizational structure of Bank's Head Office has been designed in line with CRM
guidelines. The duties of the officers/executives, working in credit areas, have been segregated
for smooth functioning. Credit approval, administration, monitoring and recovery function have
been segregated and functioning accordingly. Credit Risk Management activities ensure
maintaining asset quality, assessing risks in lending to particular customer, sanctioning credit,
formulating policy/strategy for lending operation, etc.
A thorough due diligence is done before sanction of any credit facility as per Credit Risk
Management Policy. The risk assessment includes borrower risk analysis, financial analysis,
industry analysis, historical performance of the customer, security against credit facility, etc. The
assessment process is initiated at Branch/Credit Division which is placed before the Credit
Committee (CRE-COM)/Board for approval/decline.
In determining single borrower/large loan limit, the instructions of Bangladesh Bank are strictly
followed. Internal Audit is conducted at periodical interval to ensure compliance of the policies of
the Bank and Regulatory bodies.
2.29.2 Foreign Exchange Risk Management
The risk of foreign exchange transactions has been streamlined to earn a potential gain through
the Treasury Department. i.e. Fund Management Division which is run by a group of structured
manpower. Although the global economic scenario was very much alarming because of the crisis
in all economic phenomena, still the Bank has faced it prudently leading to higher profit compared
with the previous record of the Bank. It has become possible by Treasury Department through
optimum use of open position limit fixed by Bangladesh Bank with a view to generating maximum
revenue.
There is an active participation in inter-bank foreign exchange market. The foreign exchange risk
of the Bank is minimal as majority of the transactions are carried out on behalf of the customers
requirement for various trade finance and remittance activities. The Bank did not conduct any
speculative deal in foreign currency for the year. To minimize any potential loss arising from
currency fluctuation, the Bank does conduct cross currency activities to consolidate its currency
position into a single foreign currency by converting its inflow of various currencies due to
customers export activities and remittances from abroad.
In compliance with the Bangladesh Bank Guidelines, Agrani Bank Limited has prepared Foreign
Exchange Risk Management Manual covering the Foreign Exchange Risk and Policy related with
Foreign Exchange dealings. As per terms and conditions of the Manual, Treasury Front Office,
Back Office and Mid Office have been established under separate management.
To facilitate the treasury functions, individual limit for the dealers and dealing room limit including
Stop Loss limit, Trigger limit and Counter Party limit have been fixed up and therefore there is no
scope to take any excessive risk by any dealer. To keep the deal very much transparent and to
avoid the future dispute a Voice Recorder has been set-up in the dealing room. The foreign
exchange risk of the Bank is minimal as all the transactions are carried out on behalf of the
customer against L/C commitment and other outward remittances. No dealing on Bank's account
was conducted during the year.
To support the activities of Treasury Department, an independent Treasury Back Office is
functioning through an independent organizational chain. The personnel working under Back
Office are very much well equipped to settle and reconcile the day to day deal transactions. Back
Office is responsible for verification of the deals and passing of entries in the books of accounts.
All Nostro accounts are reconciled on fortnightly basis and the management for its settlement
reviews outstanding entry beyond 15 days.
2.29.3 Asset Liability Management (ALM)
Asset and Liability Management is one of the key essentials of managing a Banks balance sheet
efficiently. In line with the ongoing reform and modernization program, Agrani Bank Limited has
retooled its ALM to deliver modern, dynamic, vibrant & futuristic process through the adaptation
of international best recognized practice.
Considering all the risk factors Agrani Bank Limited has established an effective ALM process for
assessing, analyzing and reviewing various kinds of risk exposures arising from the composition
and dynamics of the balance sheet. Asset Liability Committee (ALCOM) of the Bank is regularly
reviewing these risk exposures and advised for both the opportunities and threats to its liquidity
and balance sheet positions as well as positions of maturing assets and liquidity contingency
plan. The Bank maintained its liquidity at satisfactory level to meet the requirements of all types
of customers.
At present the markets are fraught with various kinds of risk around the corner. Each element of
risk is segmented, fragmented and quantified before it is loaded in the balance sheet of the Bank.
A clear balance sheet management strategy is articulated to senior management from the
beginning of the year so that they are fully aware of the ALM strategies.
2.29.4 Prevention of Money Laundering
Money laundering risk is defined as the loss of reputation and expenses incurred as penalty for
being negligent in prevention of money laundering. For mitigating the risks the Bank has a
designated Chief Compliance Officer at Head Office and compliance officers at branches, who
independently review the transactions of the accounts to verify suspicious transactions. Manuals
for prevention of money laundering have been established. Meticulous records of `Know Your
Customer (KYC) & Transaction Profile (TP) are being maintained. Cash Transaction Report
(CTR) and Suspicious Transaction Report (STR) (if any observed) are sent to competent
authority in strict adherence to Central Bank directives. Training has been continuously given to
the category of officers and executives for developing awareness and skills for identifying
suspicious activities.
2.29.5 Internal Control and Compliance
Operational loss may arise from error and fraud due to lack of internal control and compliance.
Management, through Internal Control and Compliance Division, controls operational procedure
of the Bank. According to the Bangladesh Bank guidelines, Agrani Bank Ltd. has introduced three
Units under Internal Control and Compliance (ICC). The three units are: Compliance, Monitoring
and Audit and Inspection. The Monitoring unit is named as Audit Implementation Division. Internal
Audit and Inspection Division undertakes periodical and special audit of the branches and
divisions at Head Office for review of operational effectiveness and internal/external compliance
requirements. The Board Audit Committee subsequently reviews the very serious lapses (VSLs)
identified by Audit and Inspection Division.
2.29.6 Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Risk
Use of ICT in Agrani Bank Limited is increasing tremendously with the increased use of ICT. It
become necessary to be more careful to address the risk associated to ICT security. Bank has

2.29 Risk management
The risks of Agrani Bank Limited have been defined as the possibility of losses, financial or
otherwise. The Risk Management of the Bank covers 6 (six) Core Risk Areas of banking i.e.
Credit Risk Management, Foreign Exchange Risk Management, Asset Liability Management,
Prevention of Money Laundering, establishment of Internal Control & Compliance and
Information & Communication Technology (ICT) risk. The prime objective of the risk management
is that the Bank takes well calculative business risks while safeguarding the Bank's capital, its
financial resources and profitability from various risks. In this context, the Bank has implemented
various steps as per the guidelines of Bangladesh Bank.
2.29.1 Credit Risk Management
Credit Risk is one of the prime risks of the Bank. It indicates the potential loss arising from
contractual failure of the borrower with the Bank. The failure may be resulted from unwillingness
of the borrower to repay or due to decline of the financial conditions. Therefore, Bank's Credit
Risk Management activities have been designed to address all these issues.
On the basis of Bangladesh Bank's Credit Risk Management (CRM) policies, Agrani Bank
Limited has formulated a Manual of Credit Risk Management Policies which has been approved
by Bank's Board of Directors, already in force. These help to bring the credit operation of the
Bank to the level of international standard.
The organizational structure of Bank's Head Office has been designed in line with CRM
guidelines. The duties of the officers/executives, working in credit areas, have been segregated
for smooth functioning. Credit approval, administration, monitoring and recovery function have
been segregated and functioning accordingly. Credit Risk Management activities ensure
maintaining asset quality, assessing risks in lending to particular customer, sanctioning credit,
formulating policy/strategy for lending operation, etc.
A thorough due diligence is done before sanction of any credit facility as per Credit Risk
Management Policy. The risk assessment includes borrower risk analysis, financial analysis,
industry analysis, historical performance of the customer, security against credit facility, etc. The
assessment process is initiated at Branch/Credit Division which is placed before the Credit
Committee (CRE-COM)/Board for approval/decline.
In determining single borrower/large loan limit, the instructions of Bangladesh Bank are strictly
followed. Internal Audit is conducted at periodical interval to ensure compliance of the policies of
the Bank and Regulatory bodies.
2.29.2 Foreign Exchange Risk Management
The risk of foreign exchange transactions has been streamlined to earn a potential gain through
the Treasury Department. i.e. Fund Management Division which is run by a group of structured
manpower. Although the global economic scenario was very much alarming because of the crisis
in all economic phenomena, still the Bank has faced it prudently leading to higher profit compared
with the previous record of the Bank. It has become possible by Treasury Department through
optimum use of open position limit fixed by Bangladesh Bank with a view to generating maximum
revenue.
There is an active participation in inter-bank foreign exchange market. The foreign exchange risk
of the Bank is minimal as majority of the transactions are carried out on behalf of the customers
requirement for various trade finance and remittance activities. The Bank did not conduct any
speculative deal in foreign currency for the year. To minimize any potential loss arising from
currency fluctuation, the Bank does conduct cross currency activities to consolidate its currency
position into a single foreign currency by converting its inflow of various currencies due to
customers export activities and remittances from abroad.
In compliance with the Bangladesh Bank Guidelines, Agrani Bank Limited has prepared Foreign
Exchange Risk Management Manual covering the Foreign Exchange Risk and Policy related with
Foreign Exchange dealings. As per terms and conditions of the Manual, Treasury Front Office,
Back Office and Mid Office have been established under separate management.
To facilitate the treasury functions, individual limit for the dealers and dealing room limit including
Stop Loss limit, Trigger limit and Counter Party limit have been fixed up and therefore there is no
scope to take any excessive risk by any dealer. To keep the deal very much transparent and to
avoid the future dispute a Voice Recorder has been set-up in the dealing room. The foreign
exchange risk of the Bank is minimal as all the transactions are carried out on behalf of the
customer against L/C commitment and other outward remittances. No dealing on Bank's account
was conducted during the year.

All Nostro accounts are reconciled on fortnightly basis and the management for its settlement
reviews outstanding entry beyond 15 days.
2.29.3 Asset Liability Management (ALM)
Asset and Liability Management is one of the key essentials of managing a Banks balance sheet
efficiently. In line with the ongoing reform and modernization program, Agrani Bank Limited has
retooled its ALM to deliver modern, dynamic, vibrant & futuristic process through the adaptation
of international best recognized practice.
Considering all the risk factors Agrani Bank Limited has established an effective ALM process for
assessing, analyzing and reviewing various kinds of risk exposures arising from the composition
and dynamics of the balance sheet. Asset Liability Committee (ALCOM) of the Bank is regularly
reviewing these risk exposures and advised for both the opportunities and threats to its liquidity
and balance sheet positions as well as positions of maturing assets and liquidity contingency
plan. The Bank maintained its liquidity at satisfactory level to meet the requirements of all types
of customers.
At present the markets are fraught with various kinds of risk around the corner. Each element of
risk is segmented, fragmented and quantified before it is loaded in the balance sheet of the Bank.
A clear balance sheet management strategy is articulated to senior management from the
beginning of the year so that they are fully aware of the ALM strategies.
2.29.4 Prevention of Money Laundering
Money laundering risk is defined as the loss of reputation and expenses incurred as penalty for
being negligent in prevention of money laundering. For mitigating the risks the Bank has a
designated Chief Compliance Officer at Head Office and compliance officers at branches, who
independently review the transactions of the accounts to verify suspicious transactions. Manuals
for prevention of money laundering have been established. Meticulous records of `Know Your
Customer (KYC) & Transaction Profile (TP) are being maintained. Cash Transaction Report
(CTR) and Suspicious Transaction Report (STR) (if any observed) are sent to competent
authority in strict adherence to Central Bank directives. Training has been continuously given to
the category of officers and executives for developing awareness and skills for identifying
suspicious activities.

2.29 Risk management
The risks of Agrani Bank Limited have been defined as the possibility of losses, financial or
otherwise. The Risk Management of the Bank covers 6 (six) Core Risk Areas of banking i.e.
Credit Risk Management, Foreign Exchange Risk Management, Asset Liability Management,
Prevention of Money Laundering, establishment of Internal Control & Compliance and
Information & Communication Technology (ICT) risk. The prime objective of the risk management
is that the Bank takes well calculative business risks while safeguarding the Bank's capital, its
financial resources and profitability from various risks. In this context, the Bank has implemented
various steps as per the guidelines of Bangladesh Bank.
2.29.1 Credit Risk Management
Credit Risk is one of the prime risks of the Bank. It indicates the potential loss arising from
contractual failure of the borrower with the Bank. The failure may be resulted from unwillingness
of the borrower to repay or due to decline of the financial conditions. Therefore, Bank's Credit
Risk Management activities have been designed to address all these issues.
On the basis of Bangladesh Bank's Credit Risk Management (CRM) policies, Agrani Bank
Limited has formulated a Manual of Credit Risk Management Policies which has been approved
by Bank's Board of Directors, already in force. These help to bring the credit operation of the
Bank to the level of international standard.
The organizational structure of Bank's Head Office has been designed in line with CRM
guidelines. The duties of the officers/executives, working in credit areas, have been segregated
for smooth functioning. Credit approval, administration, monitoring and recovery function have
been segregated and functioning accordingly. Credit Risk Management activities ensure
maintaining asset quality, assessing risks in lending to particular customer, sanctioning credit,
formulating policy/strategy for lending operation, etc.
A thorough due diligence is done before sanction of any credit facility as per Credit Risk
Management Policy. The risk assessment includes borrower risk analysis, financial analysis,
industry analysis, historical performance of the customer, security against credit facility, etc. The
assessment process is initiated at Branch/Credit Division which is placed before the Credit
Committee (CRE-COM)/Board for approval/decline.
In determining single borrower/large loan limit, the instructions of Bangladesh Bank are strictly
followed. Internal Audit is conducted at periodical interval to ensure compliance of the policies of
the Bank and Regulatory bodies.
2.29.2 Foreign Exchange Risk Management
The risk of foreign exchange transactions has been streamlined to earn a potential gain through
the Treasury Department. i.e. Fund Management Division which is run by a group of structured
manpower. Although the global economic scenario was very much alarming because of the crisis
in all economic phenomena, still the Bank has faced it prudently leading to higher profit compared
with the previous record of the Bank. It has become possible by Treasury Department through
optimum use of open position limit fixed by Bangladesh Bank with a view to generating maximum
revenue.
There is an active participation in inter-bank foreign exchange market. The foreign exchange risk
of the Bank is minimal as majority of the transactions are carried out on behalf of the customers
requirement for various trade finance and remittance activities. The Bank did not conduct any
speculative deal in foreign currency for the year. To minimize any potential loss arising from
currency fluctuation, the Bank does conduct cross currency activities to consolidate its currency
position into a single foreign currency by converting its inflow of various currencies due to
customers export activities and remittances from abroad.
In compliance with the Bangladesh Bank Guidelines, Agrani Bank Limited has prepared Foreign
Exchange Risk Management Manual covering the Foreign Exchange Risk and Policy related with
Foreign Exchange dealings. As per terms and conditions of the Manual, Treasury Front Office,
Back Office and Mid Office have been established under separate management.
To facilitate the treasury functions, individual limit for the dealers and dealing room limit including
Stop Loss limit, Trigger limit and Counter Party limit have been fixed up and therefore there is no
scope to take any excessive risk by any dealer. To keep the deal very much transparent and to
avoid the future dispute a Voice Recorder has been set-up in the dealing room. The foreign
exchange risk of the Bank is minimal as all the transactions are carried out on behalf of the
customer against L/C commitment and other outward remittances. No dealing on Bank's account
was conducted during the year.
To support the activities of Treasury Department, an independent Treasury Back Office is
functioning through an independent organizational chain. The personnel working under Back
Office are very much well equipped to settle and reconcile the day to day deal transactions. Back
Office is responsible for verification of the deals and passing of entries in the books of accounts.
All Nostro accounts are reconciled on fortnightly basis and the management for its settlement
reviews outstanding entry beyond 15 days.
2.29.3 Asset Liability Management (ALM)
Asset and Liability Management is one of the key essentials of managing a Banks balance sheet
efficiently. In line with the ongoing reform and modernization program, Agrani Bank Limited has
retooled its ALM to deliver modern, dynamic, vibrant & futuristic process through the adaptation
of international best recognized practice.
Considering all the risk factors Agrani Bank Limited has established an effective ALM process for
assessing, analyzing and reviewing various kinds of risk exposures arising from the composition
and dynamics of the balance sheet. Asset Liability Committee (ALCOM) of the Bank is regularly
reviewing these risk exposures and advised for both the opportunities and threats to its liquidity
and balance sheet positions as well as positions of maturing assets and liquidity contingency
plan. The Bank maintained its liquidity at satisfactory level to meet the requirements of all types
of customers.
At present the markets are fraught with various kinds of risk around the corner. Each element of
risk is segmented, fragmented and quantified before it is loaded in the balance sheet of the Bank.
A clear balance sheet management strategy is articulated to senior management from the
beginning of the year so that they are fully aware of the ALM strategies.
2.29.4 Prevention of Money Laundering
Money laundering risk is defined as the loss of reputation and expenses incurred as penalty for
being negligent in prevention of money laundering. For mitigating the risks the Bank has a
designated Chief Compliance Officer at Head Office and compliance officers at branches, who
independently review the transactions of the accounts to verify suspicious transactions. Manuals
for prevention of money laundering have been established. Meticulous records of `Know Your
Customer (KYC) & Transaction Profile (TP) are being maintained. Cash Transaction Report
(CTR) and Suspicious Transaction Report (STR) (if any observed) are sent to competent
authority in strict adherence to Central Bank directives. Training has been continuously given to
the category of officers and executives for developing awareness and skills for identifying
suspicious activities.
2.29.5 Internal Control and Compliance
Operational loss may arise from error and fraud due to lack of internal control and compliance.
Management, through Internal Control and Compliance Division, controls operational procedure
of the Bank. According to the Bangladesh Bank guidelines, Agrani Bank Ltd. has introduced three
Units under Internal Control and Compliance (ICC). The three units are: Compliance, Monitoring
and Audit and Inspection. The Monitoring unit is named as Audit Implementation Division. Internal
Audit and Inspection Division undertakes periodical and special audit of the branches and
divisions at Head Office for review of operational effectiveness and internal/external compliance
requirements. The Board Audit Committee subsequently reviews the very serious lapses (VSLs)
identified by Audit and Inspection Division.
2.29.6 Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Risk

2.29 Risk management
The risks of Agrani Bank Limited have been defined as the possibility of losses, financial or
otherwise. The Risk Management of the Bank covers 6 (six) Core Risk Areas of banking i.e.
Credit Risk Management, Foreign Exchange Risk Management, Asset Liability Management,
Prevention of Money Laundering, establishment of Internal Control & Compliance and
Information & Communication Technology (ICT) risk. The prime objective of the risk management
is that the Bank takes well calculative business risks while safeguarding the Bank's capital, its
financial resources and profitability from various risks. In this context, the Bank has implemented
various steps as per the guidelines of Bangladesh Bank.
2.29.1 Credit Risk Management
Credit Risk is one of the prime risks of the Bank. It indicates the potential loss arising from
contractual failure of the borrower with the Bank. The failure may be resulted from unwillingness
of the borrower to repay or due to decline of the financial conditions. Therefore, Bank's Credit
Risk Management activities have been designed to address all these issues.
On the basis of Bangladesh Bank's Credit Risk Management (CRM) policies, Agrani Bank
Limited has formulated a Manual of Credit Risk Management Policies which has been approved
by Bank's Board of Directors, already in force. These help to bring the credit operation of the
Bank to the level of international standard.
The organizational structure of Bank's Head Office has been designed in line with CRM
guidelines. The duties of the officers/executives, working in credit areas, have been segregated
for smooth functioning. Credit approval, administration, monitoring and recovery function have
been segregated and functioning accordingly. Credit Risk Management activities ensure
maintaining asset quality, assessing risks in lending to particular customer, sanctioning credit,
formulating policy/strategy for lending operation, etc.
A thorough due diligence is done before sanction of any credit facility as per Credit Risk
Management Policy. The risk assessment includes borrower risk analysis, financial analysis,
industry analysis, historical performance of the customer, security against credit facility, etc. The
assessment process is initiated at Branch/Credit Division which is placed before the Credit
Committee (CRE-COM)/Board for approval/decline.
In determining single borrower/large loan limit, the instructions of Bangladesh Bank are strictly
followed. Internal Audit is conducted at periodical interval to ensure compliance of the policies of
the Bank and Regulatory bodies.
2.29.2 Foreign Exchange Risk Management
The risk of foreign exchange transactions has been streamlined to earn a potential gain through
the Treasury Department. i.e. Fund Management Division which is run by a group of structured
manpower. Although the global economic scenario was very much alarming because of the crisis
in all economic phenomena, still the Bank has faced it prudently leading to higher profit compared
with the previous record of the Bank. It has become possible by Treasury Department through
optimum use of open position limit fixed by Bangladesh Bank with a view to generating maximum
revenue.
There is an active participation in inter-bank foreign exchange market. The foreign exchange risk
of the Bank is minimal as majority of the transactions are carried out on behalf of the customers
requirement for various trade finance and remittance activities. The Bank did not conduct any
speculative deal in foreign currency for the year. To minimize any potential loss arising from
currency fluctuation, the Bank does conduct cross currency activities to consolidate its currency
position into a single foreign currency by converting its inflow of various currencies due to
customers export activities and remittances from abroad.
In compliance with the Bangladesh Bank Guidelines, Agrani Bank Limited has prepared Foreign
Exchange Risk Management Manual covering the Foreign Exchange Risk and Policy related with
Foreign Exchange dealings. As per terms and conditions of the Manual, Treasury Front Office,
Back Office and Mid Office have been established under separate management.
To facilitate the treasury functions, individual limit for the dealers and dealing room limit including
Stop Loss limit, Trigger limit and Counter Party limit have been fixed up and therefore there is no
scope to take any excessive risk by any dealer. To keep the deal very much transparent and to
avoid the future dispute a Voice Recorder has been set-up in the dealing room. The foreign
exchange risk of the Bank is minimal as all the transactions are carried out on behalf of the
customer against L/C commitment and other outward remittances. No dealing on Bank's account
was conducted during the year.
To support the activities of Treasury Department, an independent Treasury Back Office is
functioning through an independent organizational chain. The personnel working under Back
Office are very much well equipped to settle and reconcile the day to day deal transactions. Back
Office is responsible for verification of the deals and passing of entries in the books of accounts.
All Nostro accounts are reconciled on fortnightly basis and the management for its settlement
reviews outstanding entry beyond 15 days.
2.29.3 Asset Liability Management (ALM)
Asset and Liability Management is one of the key essentials of managing a Banks balance sheet
efficiently. In line with the ongoing reform and modernization program, Agrani Bank Limited has
retooled its ALM to deliver modern, dynamic, vibrant & futuristic process through the adaptation
of international best recognized practice.
Considering all the risk factors Agrani Bank Limited has established an effective ALM process for
assessing, analyzing and reviewing various kinds of risk exposures arising from the composition
and dynamics of the balance sheet. Asset Liability Committee (ALCOM) of the Bank is regularly
reviewing these risk exposures and advised for both the opportunities and threats to its liquidity
and balance sheet positions as well as positions of maturing assets and liquidity contingency
plan. The Bank maintained its liquidity at satisfactory level to meet the requirements of all types
of customers.
At present the markets are fraught with various kinds of risk around the corner. Each element of
risk is segmented, fragmented and quantified before it is loaded in the balance sheet of the Bank.
A clear balance sheet management strategy is articulated to senior management from the
beginning of the year so that they are fully aware of the ALM strategies.
2.29.4 Prevention of Money Laundering
Money laundering risk is defined as the loss of reputation and expenses incurred as penalty for
being negligent in prevention of money laundering. For mitigating the risks the Bank has a
designated Chief Compliance Officer at Head Office and compliance officers at branches, who
independently review the transactions of the accounts to verify suspicious transactions. Manuals
for prevention of money laundering have been established. Meticulous records of `Know Your
Customer (KYC) & Transaction Profile (TP) are being maintained. Cash Transaction Report
(CTR) and Suspicious Transaction Report (STR) (if any observed) are sent to competent
authority in strict adherence to Central Bank directives. Training has been continuously given to
the category of officers and executives for developing awareness and skills for identifying
suspicious activities.
2.29.5 Internal Control and Compliance
Operational loss may arise from error and fraud due to lack of internal control and compliance.
Management, through Internal Control and Compliance Division, controls operational procedure
of the Bank. According to the Bangladesh Bank guidelines, Agrani Bank Ltd. has introduced three
Units under Internal Control and Compliance (ICC). The three units are: Compliance, Monitoring
and Audit and Inspection. The Monitoring unit is named as Audit Implementation Division. Internal
Audit and Inspection Division undertakes periodical and special audit of the branches and
divisions at Head Office for review of operational effectiveness and internal/external compliance
requirements. The Board Audit Committee subsequently reviews the very serious lapses (VSLs)
identified by Audit and Inspection Division.
2.29.6 Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Risk
Use of ICT in Agrani Bank Limited is increasing tremendously with the increased use of ICT. It
become necessary to be more careful to address the risk associated to ICT security. Bank has
167 Annual Report 2012
formulated well defined ICT policy in line with the international best practices and prudential
guidelines of Bangladesh Bank on ICT security. Besides the policy bank also prepared
implementation manual for user at all level in conformity with the ICT policy. An ICT Audit manual
has been prepared and is in use for auditing ICT activities of the bank to assure that the policy
and the procedure are meticulously followed while using ICT by the user at any level.
2.30 Financial guarantees
Financial guarantee contracts are contracts that require the issuer to make specified payments to
reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payments when
due in accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Such financial guarantees are given to
banks, financial institutions and other parties on behalf of customers to secure loans, overdrafts,
other banking facilities and other various payments. Financial guarantees are recognized in the
financial statements at fair value on the date the guarantee was given as contingent liability.
2.31 Related party transactions
Parties are considered to be related if one party has the ability to directly or indirectly control the
other party or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial or operational
decisions. During the year the Bank has some transactions with the Government (owner of the
Bank) in respect of banking business like loans and advances, guarantees and commitments as

SRO-336-AIN/2010 dated 5-10-2010 issued by Ministry of Labor and Employment and published in Bangladesh
gazette on 07-10-2010 declaring the status of business of certain institutions and companies ( like mobile operating
companies, mobile network service providing company , all Govt. and Non-govt. money lending companies etc.)
as Industrial Undertakings for the purpose of Chapter-XV of the Bangladesh Labor Act,2006 which deals with the
workers participation in companys proft by the way of Workers Participation Fund and Welfare Fund (WPFWP). The
Bangladesh Labor Act,2006 requires the Industrial Undertakings to maintain provision for workers proft participation
fund @5% on net proft. However, we have obtained legal opinion from Legal advisor in this regard where it has been
started that Agrani Bank Limited does not fall under this category. Therefore, no provision has been made in the
fnancial statements during the year under audit.

*As per Investment Corporation of Bangladesh Ordinance 1976 the Banks shareholding in Investment Corporation of Bangladesh (ICB) will be at
least 2.5% of the total paid up share capital of ICB. The Investment Corporation of Bangladesh (General) Regulations 1977 puts some restrictions on
the sale of any ICB shares held by the Bank, with the prior consent of the Government. Since we are optimistic that Government will give the Bank
consent to sell its ICB shareholding exceeding 2.5%, should be situation arise, we have considered these excess shares as HFT shares.

in accordance with Bangladesh Standards on Auditing (BSA). Those standards require that we comply with ethical

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the fnancial

material misstatement of the fnancial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the
auditor considers internal control relevant to the entitys preparation of the fnancial statements in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness
of the entitys internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the
fnancial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffcient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
Opinion:
In our opinion, the fnancial statements presents fairly, in all materials respects, the fnancial position of Agrani Equity &
Investment Limited as at 31 December 2012 and its fnancial performance and its cash fows for the year then ended
in accordance with Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (BFRS) and comply with the applicable sections of the

241 Annual Report 2012
Independent Auditors Report to the
Shareholders of
Agrani SME Financing Company Limited
242
Independent Auditors Report to the Shareholders of
Agrani SME Financing Company Limited
We have audited the accompanying fnancial statements of Agrani SME Financing Company Limited which comprise
the balanced sheet as at ended 31 December, 2012 and the proft and loss account, statement of changes in equity
and statement of cash fows for the year ended and a summary signifcant of accounting policies and other explanatory
information, disclosed in notes 1-20 to the Financial Statements.
Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these fnancial statements in accordance with
Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (BFRS) and Bangladesh Accounting Standards (BAS) adopted by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB), the Companies Act 1994, the Financial Institution Act 1993,
other applicable laws and regulations and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the
preparation of fnancial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditors Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these fnancial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit
in accordance with Bangladesh Standards on Auditing (BSA). Those standards require that we comply with ethical
requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the fnancial statements are free
from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the fnancial
statements. The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material
misstatements of the fnancial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor
considers internal control relevant to the entitys preparation and fair presentation of the fnancial statements in order
to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion
on the effectiveness of the entitys internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting
policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the fnancial statements.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis of modifed audit opinion.
Basis for Modifed Opinion
As disclosed in note 2.11 the company has reported that the Revenue Recognition has been made on cash received
basis which is not in agreement with BAS-1 Presentation of Financial Statements. The companys explanation regarding
this treatment is as follows:
Revenue Recognition
The areas specially in case of interest on loans and advances, all the employees related with the credit of the company
are habituated to accounting the interest income on realization basis as the practice of last 15 years inherited from
the SEDP project. Though the operations of the project have been taken over through the vendors agreement on 27
th

October 2011, but practically complete operational guideline in line with non-banking fnancial institution is yet to be
developed. So, without complete operational guideline and necessary training thereon it appears that a lot of mistakes
may take place due to change in accounting policy and economic beneft may not be accurately determined until interest
on loans and advances is received. Considering the circumstance as mentioned above revenue has been recognized
only when the interest on loan has been received by the company.
Modifed Opinion
In our opinion, except for the effect of the matter described above the fnancial statements, prepared in accordance
with Bangladesh Financial Reporting Standards (BFRS) and Bangladesh Accounting Standards (BAS) adopted by the
Institute of Chartered Accountants of Bangladesh (ICAB), give a true and fair view of the state of the Companys affairs
as of 31 December, 2012 and of the results of its operations and its cash fows for the period from 1
st
January, 2012 to 31
December, 2012 and comply with the applicable sections of the Companies Act 1994, the Financial Institution Act 1993,
the rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank, and other applicable laws and regulations.

The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and various other factors that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis of making the judgments

2.11 Revenue recognition
The areas specially in case of interest on loans and advances, all the employees related with the credit of the
company are habituated to accounting the interest income on realization basis as the practice of last 15 years
inherited from the SEDP project. Though the operations of the project have been taken over through the vendors
agreement on 27th October 2011, but practically complete operational guideline in line with non-banking fnancial
institution is yet to be developed. So, without complete operational guideline and necessary training thereon it
appears that lot of mistakes may take place due to change in accounting policy and economic beneft may not be
accurately determined until interest on loans and advances is received. Considering the circumstance as mentioned
above, revenue has been recognized only when the interest on loan has been received by the company.
Other revenues:

potential return is thus canceled and removed from (written off) the Companys balance sheet.

Managements Responsibility for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation of fnancial statements that give a true and fair view in accordance with
the provisions of the Singapore Companies Act, Chapter 50 (the Act) and Singapore Financial Reporting Standards,
and for devising and maintaining a system of internal accounting controls suffcient to provide a reasonable assurance

and that they are recorded as necessary to permit the preparation of true and fair proft and loss account and balance
sheet and to maintain accountability of assets.

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these fnancial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in
accordance with Singapore Standards on Auditing. Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements

material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the fnancial

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is suffcient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

The principal activities of the Company are to carry on the remittance business and to undertake and participate
in any or all transactions, activities and operations commonly carried on or undertaken by remittance and

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1 Basis of preparation
The fnancial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with Singapore Financial Reporting
Standards (FRS) and the applicable requirements of the Singapore Companies Act.
The fnancial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except as disclosed in the accounting
policies below.

operates i.e. functional currency, to be the Singapore dollars. Revenue and major costs of providing services
including major operating expenses are primarily infuenced by fuctuations in Singapore dollars.
The fnancial statements are presented in Singapore dollars.
2.2 Changes in accounting policies
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous fnancial year except in the current
fnancial year, the Company has adopted all the new and revised standards and Interpretations of FRS (INT
FRS) that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2012.
The adoption of these standards and interpretations did not have any effect on the fnancial performance or
position of the Company.
276
2.3 Standards issued but not yet effective
The Company has not adopted the following standards and interpretations that have been issued but are only
effective for annual fnancial periods beginning on or after the respective dates.
Effective 1 July 2012
Amendments to FRS 1 - Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income
Effective 1 January 2013
Revised FRS 19 - Employee Benefts
FRS 113 - Fair Value Measurements
Amendments to FRS 107 - Disclosures Offsetting Financial Assets and
Financial Liabilities
Improvements to FRSs 2012:
Amendments to FRS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements
Amendments to FRS 16 - Property, Plant and Equipment
Amendments to FRS 32 - Financial Instruments : Presentation
Effective 1 January 2014
Revised FRS 27 - Separate Financial Statements
Revised FRS 28 - Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures
FRS 110 - Consolidated Financial Statements
FRS 111 - Joint Arrangements
FRS 111 - Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
Amendments to FRS 32 - Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial
Liabilities
Except for the Amendments to FRS 1 and FRS 112, the directors expect that the adoption of the other standards
and interpretations above will have no material impact on the fnancial statements in the period of initial
application. The nature of the impending changes in accounting policy on adoption of the Amendments to FRS
1 and FRS 112 is described below.
Amendments to FRS 1 Presentation of Items of Other Comprehensive Income
The Amendments to FRS 1 change the grouping of items presented in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI).
Items that could be reclassifed to proft or loss at a future point in time would be presented separately from
items which will never be reclassifed. As the Amendments only affect the presentations of items that are already
recognised in OCI, the Company does not expect any impact on its fnancial position or performance upon
adoption of this standard.
FRS 112 Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities
FRS 112 is a new and comprehensive standard on disclosure requirements for all forms of interests in other
entities, including joint arrangements, associates, special purpose vehicles and other off balance sheet vehicles.
FRS 112 requires an entity to disclose information that helps users of its fnancial statements to evaluate the
nature and risks associated with its interests in other entities and the effects of those interests on its fnancial
statements. The Company is currently determining the impact of the disclosure requirements. As this is a
disclosure standard, it will have no impact to the fnancial position and fnancial performance of the Company
when implemented in 2014.
2.4 Property, plant and equipment
All items of property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Subsequent to recognition, property,
plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment
losses. The cost includes the cost of replacing part of the property, plant and equipment. The cost of an item of
property, plant and equipment is recognised as an asset if, and only if, it is probable that future economic benefts
associated with the item will fow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably.
277 Annual Report 2012
Subsequent expenditure relating to property, plant and equipment that has already been recognised is added
to the carrying amount of the asset only when it is probable that future economic benefts associated with the
item will fow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. Other subsequent expenditure
is recognised as repair and maintenance expense in the proft or loss during the fnancial year in which it is
incurred.
Depreciation is computed on the straight line method to write off the cost of property, plant and equipment over
the estimated useful lives. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:-
Furniture & fttings 3 years
Offce equipment 3 years
Renovation 3 years
Fully depreciated assets are retained in the accounts until they are no longer in use and no further charge for
depreciation is made in respect of these assets.
The carrying values of property, plant and equipment are reviewed for impairment when events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.
The residual value, useful life and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting year to ensure
that the amount, method and period of depreciation are consistent with previous estimates and the expected
pattern of consumption of the future economic benefts embodied in the items of property, plant and equipment.
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefts are
expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on de-recognition of the asset is included in the proft
or loss in the fnancial year the asset is derecognised.
2.5 Impairment of non-fnancial assets
The Company assesses at each reporting date whether there is an indication that an asset may be impaired.
If any such indication exists, or when an annual impairment assessment for an asset is required, the Company
makes an estimate of the assets recoverable amount.
An assets recoverable amount is the higher of an assets or cash-generating units fair value less costs to sell
and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash infows
that are largely independent of those from other assets or group of assets. Where the carrying amount of an
asset or cash-generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written
down to its recoverable amount. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash fows expected to be
generated by the asset are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that refects current
market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specifc to the asset. In determining fair value
less costs to sell, recent market transactions are taken into account, if available. If no such transactions can be
identifed, an appropriate valuation model is used. These calculations are corroborated by valuation multiples or
other available fair value indicators.
Impairment losses are recognised in the proft or loss except for assets that are previously revalued where the
revaluation was taken to other comprehensive income. In this case, the impairment is also recognised in other
comprehensive income up to the amount of any previous revaluation.
An assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognised
impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates
the assets or cash-generating units recoverable amount. A previously recognised impairment loss is reversed
only if there has been a change in the estimates used to determine the assets recoverable amount since the
last impairment loss was recognised. If that is the case, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to its
recoverable amount. That increase cannot exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of
depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognised previously. Such reversal is recognised in the proft or loss
unless the asset is measured at revalued amount, in which case the reversal is treated as a revaluation increase.
2.6 Financial assets
Financial assets are recognised on the statement of fnancial position when, and only when, the Company
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the fnancial instrument. The Company determines the
classifcation of its fnancial assets at initial recognition.
Non-derivative fnancial assets with fxed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market are
classifed as loans and receivables. Such assets are initially recognised at fair value, plus directly attributable
transaction costs and subsequently carried at amortised cost using the effective interest method less impairment.
Gains and losses are recognised in the proft or loss when the loans and receivables are derecognised or
impaired, and through the amortisation process.
278
A fnancial asset is derecognised when the contractual right to receive cash fows from the asset has expired. On
derecognition of a fnancial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the
consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss that has been recognised directly in other comprehensive
income is recognised in the proft or loss.
The Company classifes the following fnancial assets as loans and receivables:
Cash and short term deposits
Other receivables
2.7 Impairment of fnancial assets
The Company assesses at the end of each reporting year whether there is any objective evidence that a fnancial
asset or group of fnancial assets is impaired and recognises an allowance for impairment when such evidence
exists.
If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss on loans and receivables carried at amortised cost has
been incurred, the amount of the loss is measured as the difference between the assets carrying amount and
the present value of estimated future cash fows discounted at the fnancial assets original effective interest
rate. If a loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current
effective interest rate. The carrying amount of the asset is reduced through the use of an allowance account. The
impairment loss is recognised in the proft or loss.
If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related
objectively to an event occurring after the impairment was recognised, the previously recognised impairment
loss is reversed to the extent that the carrying amount of the fnancial asset does not exceed its amortised cost
at the reversal date. The amount of reversal is recognised in the proft or loss.
2.8 Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents comprise cash and bank balances and fxed deposits that are readily convertible to
known amounts of cash and which is subject to an insignifcant risk of changes in value.
2.9 Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a
past event, it is probable that an outfow of resources embodying economic benefts will be required to settle the
obligation and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably.
Provisions are reviewed at the end of each reporting year and adjusted to refect the current best estimate. If it is
no longer probable that an outfow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation, the provision is
reversed. If the effect of the time value of money is material, provisions are discounted using a current pre tax rate
that refects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specifc to the liability. When
discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognised as a fnance cost.
2.10 Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are recognised on the statement of fnancial position when, and only when, the Company
becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the fnancial instrument. The Company determines the
classifcation of its fnancial liabilities at initial recognition.
All fnancial liabilities are recognised initially at fair value plus in the case of fnancial liabilities not at fair value
through proft or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value. Other fnancial liabilities (except for
fnancial guarantee) are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
For fnancial liabilities other than derivatives, gains and losses are recognised in the proft or loss when the
liabilities are derecognised, and through the amortisation process. Any gains or losses arising from changes in
fair value of derivatives are recognised in the proft or loss. Net gains or losses on derivatives include exchange
differences.
A fnancial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expired.
When an existing fnancial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms,
or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modifed, such an exchange or modifcation is treated as a
derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective
carrying amounts is recognised in the proft or loss.
279 Annual Report 2012
2.11 Employee benefts
Defned contribution plan
As required by law, the Company makes contributions to the Central Provident Fund (CPF) scheme in Singapore,
a defned contribution pension scheme. CPF contributions are recognised as compensation expenses in the
same period as the employment that gives rise to these contributions.
2.12 Leases
Operating leases
Leases where substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership are retained by the lessors are
classifed as operating leases. Operating lease payments are recognised as an expense in the proft or loss on
a straight-line basis over the lease term.
The aggregate beneft of incentives provided by the lessor is recognised as a reduction of rental expense over
the lease term on a straight-line basis.
2.13 Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognised to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefts will fow to the Company and
the revenue can be reliably measured, regardless of when the payment is made. Revenue is measured at the
fair value consideration received or receivable, taking into account contractually defned terms of payment and
excluding taxes or duty. The following specifc recognition criteria must also be met before revenue is recognised:
Revenue from rendering of services is recognised upon completion and delivery of services to the customers.
Interest income is recognised using the effective interest method.
2.14 Income taxes
(i) Current tax
Current tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to
be recovered from or paid to the Income Tax Authorities. The tax rates and tax laws used to compute the
amount are those that are enacted or substantively enacted at the end of the reporting year.
Current taxes are recognised in the proft or loss except to the extent that the tax relates to items recognised
outside proft or loss, either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Management periodically
evaluates positions taken in the tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulations are
subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate.
(ii) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences at the end of the reporting
year between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for fnancial reporting
purposes.
Deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax
credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable proft will be available against
which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax
losses can be utilised.
The carrying amount of deferred tax asset is reviewed at the end of each reporting year and reduced to
the extent that it is no longer probable that suffcient taxable proft will be available to allow all or part of the
deferred tax asset to be utilised.
Unrecognised deferred tax assets are reassessed at the end of each reporting year and are recognised
to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable proft will allow the deferred tax asset to be
recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when
the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or
substantively enacted at the end of each reporting year.
Deferred tax relating to items recognised outside proft or loss is recognised outside proft or loss. Deferred
tax items are recognised in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income
or directly in equity.
280
Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current
tax assets against current tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the
same taxation authority.
(iii) Sales tax
Revenues, expenses and assets are recognised net of the amount of sales tax except:
Where the sales tax incurred on a purchase of assets or services is not recoverable from the taxation
authority, in which case the sales tax is recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of the asset or as part
of the expense item as applicable; and
Receivables and payables that are stated with the amount of sales tax included.
The net amount of sales tax recoverable from, or payable to, the taxation authority is included as part of
receivables or payables in the statement of fnancial position.
2.15 Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are measured and recorded in Singapore dollars on initial recognition at
exchange rates approximating those ruling at the dates of transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities
denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rate of exchange ruling at the end of the reporting year.
Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the
exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in foreign
currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined.
Exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items at the end of
the reporting year are recognised in the proft or loss.
2.16 Share capital
Proceeds from issuance of ordinary shares are recognised as share capital in equity. Incremental costs directly
attributable to the issuance of ordinary shares are deducted against share capital, net of any tax effects.
2.17 Signifcant accounting judgements and estimates
The preparation of the Companys fnancial statements requires management to make judgements, estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure
of contingent liabilities at the end of each reporting year. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and
estimates could result in outcomes that could require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset
or liability affected in the future periods.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty
The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the end of each
reporting year, that have a signifcant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next fnancial year are discussed below. The Company based its assumptions and estimates
on parameters available when the fnancial statements were prepared. Existing circumstances and assumptions
about future developments, however, may change due to market changes or circumstances arising beyond the
control of the Company. Such changes are refected in the assumptions when they occur.
Useful lives of property, plant and equipment
The cost of property, plant and equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the property, plant and
equipment estimated useful lives. Management estimates the useful lives of these property, plant and equipment
to be 3 years. Changes in the expected level of usage and technological developments could impact the
economic useful lives of these assets, therefore, future depreciation charges could be revised. The carrying
amounts of the Companys property, plant and equipment at the end of the reporting year are disclosed in Note
7 to the fnancial statements.
Income taxes
Signifcant judgement is involved in determining the Companys provision for income taxes. There are certain
transactions and computations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of
business. The Company recognises liabilities for expected tax issues based on estimates of whether additional
taxes will be due. Where the fnal tax outcome of these matters is different from the amounts that were initially
recognised, such differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such
determination is made. The carrying amounts of the Companys income tax payable (receivable) and deferred
tax liabilities at 31 December 2012 were $(659) (2011 - $534) and $6,413 (2011 - $6,645) respectively.

15. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Companys fnancial instruments comprise fnancial assets and liabilities. Financial assets and liabilities
mainly relate to receivables and payables which arise directly from its operations.
Financial risk management objectives and policies
The main purpose for holding or issuing fnancial instruments is to raise and manage the fnances for the
Companys operating, investing and fnancing activities. There is exposure to the fnancial risks on the fnancial
instruments such as credit risk, liquidity risk, market risk comprising interest rate risk, foreign currency risk
and other price risk exposures. The management has certain practices for the management of fnancial risks.
However, these are not documented in formal written documents. The following guidelines are followed: All
fnancial risk management activities are carried out and monitored by senior management staff. All fnancial risk
management activities are carried out following good market practices.
The Company does not hold or issue derivative fnancial instruments for trading purposes or to hedge against
fuctuations in interest and foreign exchange rates.
The following sections provide details regarding the Companys exposure to the above-mentioned fnancial risks
and the objectives, policies and processes for the management of these risks.
Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of loss that may arise on outstanding fnancial instruments should a counterparty default on
its obligations. The Companys exposure to credit risk arises primarily from other receivables. For other fnancial
assets (including cash and cash equivalents), the Company minimises credit risk by dealing exclusively with high
credit rating counterparties.
The Company has no signifcant concentration of credit risk. The Company has policies in place to ensure that
transactions are entered into only with counterparties that are of acceptable credit quality. In addition, receivable
balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that the Companys exposure to bad debts is not
signifcant.
The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the net carrying amount of fnancial assets recorded in
the fnancial statements.
Cash and fxed deposits that are neither past due nor impaired are placed with or entered into with reputable
fnancial institutions or companies with high credit ratings and no history of default.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter diffculty in meeting fnancial obligations due to shortage
of funds. The Companys exposure to liquidity risk arises primarily from mismatches of the maturities of fnancial
assets and liabilities.
286
The Company ensures that there are adequate funds available to meet all its operational requirements.
As at the end of the reporting year, the expected contractual undiscounted cash outfows of fnancial liabilities
are due in less than a year.
Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash fows of the Companys fnancial instruments will
fuctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company has no exposure to interest rate risks as
interest arising primarily from fxed deposits placed with the fnancial institution as disclosed in Note 9 to the
fnancial statements is fxed and does not fuctuate with changes in market interest rates.
Foreign currency risk
The Companys operational activities are carried out in Singapore dollars which is its functional currency. All
transactions are paid mainly in local currency. Exposure to any risk arising from movements in foreign currencies
exchange rates is minimal.
Equity price risk
The Company has no exposure to equity price risk.
Capital risk management
The Companys objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Companys ability to continue as a
going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and benefts for other stakeholders and to maintain
an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.
In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to
shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The total capital of the Company as at the end of the reporting year is the Total equity as presented on the
statement of fnancial position.
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
16. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The fair value of a fnancial instrument is the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged or settled
between knowledgeable and willing parties in an arms length transaction, other than in a forced or liquidation
sale.
Financial instruments whose carrying amounts approximate fair values
Management has determined that the carrying amounts of cash and bank balances, fxed deposits, current other
receivables, and current trade and other payables, based on their notional amounts, reasonably approximate
their fair values because these are mostly short term in nature.
17. AUTHORISATION OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The fnancial statements for the year ended 31 December 2012 were authorised for issue in accordance with a
resolution of the directors on 19 March 2013.

293 Annual Report 2012
ISSUE OF SHARES AND DEBENTURES
The Company has not issued any shares or debentures during the fnancial year.
BAD AND DOUBTFUL DEBTS
Before the income statement and the balance sheet were made out, the directors took reasonable steps to ascertain
that action has been taken in relation to the writing off of bad debts and the making of allowance for doubtful debts, and
had satisfed themselves that all known bad debts have been written off and that adequate allowance has been made
for doubtful debts.
At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances, which would render the amount written off
for bad debts or the amount of the allowance for doubtful debts in the fnancial statements of the company inadequate to
any substantial extent.
CURRENT ASSETS
Before the income statement and balance sheet of the company were made out, the directors took reasonable steps to
ensure that any current assets, other than debts, which were unlikely to realise in the ordinary course of business their
values as shown in the accounting records of the company have been written down to an amount which they might be
expected to realise.
At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances, which would render the values attributed to
the current assets in the fnancial statements of the company misleading.
VALUATION METHODS
At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances which have arisen which render adherence to
the existing method of valuation of assets or liabilities of the Company misleading or inappropriate.
CONTINGENT AND OTHER LIABILITIES
At the date of this report, there does not exist :
i) any charge on the assets of the company which has arisen since the end of the fnancial year which secures the
liabilities of any other person ; or
ii) any contingent liability which has arisen since the end of the fnancial year.
No contingent or other liability has become enforceable, or is likely to become enforceable within the period of twelve
months after the end of the fnancial year which, in the opinion of the directors, will or may effect the ability of the company
to meet its obligations as and when they fall due.
CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES
At the date of this report, the directors are not aware of any circumstances, not otherwise dealt with in this report or the
fnancial statements which would render any amount stated in the fnancial statements misleading.
ITEMS OF AN UNUSUAL NATURE
The results of the operations of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2012 were not, in the opinion of the
directors, substantially affected by any item, transaction or event of a material and unusual nature.
EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO BALANCE SHEET DATE
There has not arisen in the interval between the end of the fnancial year and the date of this report any item, transaction
or event of a material and usual nature likely, in the opinion of the directors, to affect substantially the results of the
operations of the Company for the fnancial year in which this report is made.
OPTIONS
No option has been granted during the year ended covered by the income statement to take up unissued shares of the
Company.

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
For the year ended 31 December 2012
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
The principal activity of the company during the fnancial year is that of providing remittance services from
Malaysia to Bangladesh. There has been no signifcant change in this principal activity during the fnancial year.
The company is a private limited liability Company, incorporated and domiciled in Malaysia. The registered offce
of the Company is located at Suite 13.01, 13th Floor, Tower Block Plaza Pekeliling, Jalan Tun Razak, 50400
Kuala Lumpur,
The number of employees in the Company at the end of the fnancial year were 4 (2011:4)
The fnancial statements were authorised for issue by the Board of Directors in accordance with a resolution of
the directors on 15 March 2013.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
2.1 Basis of preparation
The fnancial statements of the Company have been prepared under the historical cost convention,
unless otherwise stated in the individual accounting policies set out below and comply with the
provisions of the Companies Act, 1965 and the Financial Reporting Standards issued by Malaysian
Accounting Standards Board (MASB).
The preparation of fnancial statements in conformity with the applicable FRS in Malaysia requires
the use of certain accounting estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the fnancial year. It also
requires the directors to exercise their judgements in the progress of applying the Company accounting
policies. Although these estimates and judgements are based on the directors best knowledge of
current events and actions, actual results may differ.
2.2 Signifcant Accounting Policies
(a) Property, plant and equipment and depreciation
All property, plant and equipment were initially stated at cost. Properties which have been
subsequently revalued, are stated at valuation less accumulated depreciation and impairment
loss, if any. All other property, plant and equipment are stated at historical cost less accumulated
depreciation and impairment loss, if any. The policy for the recognition and measurement of
impairment losses is in accordance with Note 2.2(e).
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. When
signifcant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are
accounted for as separate items of property, plant and equipment.
The cost of replacing part of an item of property, plant and equipment is included in the assets
carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that
the future economic benefts associated with the part will fow to the Company and its cost can be
measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and
maintenance are charged to the income statement as incurred.
Depreciation is charged on a straight line basis so as to write off the costs of the assets to their
residual values over the term of their estimated useful lives. The annual rates used for this purpose
are as follows:-
Furniture and fttings 20%
Offce equipment 20%
Renovation 20%
Computer 20%
Electrical material 20%
The residual values, useful lives and depreciation method are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate,
at each balance sheet date.
Fully depreciated assets are retained in the accounts until the assets are no longer in use.
303 Annual Report 2012
An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future
economic benefts are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition
of the asset is included in the income statement in the year the asset is derecognised.
(b) Receivables
Receivables are carried at anticipated realisable values. Bad debts are written off when identifed.
An estimate is made for doubtful debts based on review of all outstanding amounts as at the
balance sheet date.
(c) Payables
Payables are stated at cost, which is the fair value of the consideration to be paid in the future for
goods and services received.
(d) Taxation
The tax expense in the income statement represents the aggregate amount of current tax and deferred
tax. Current tax is the expected amount of income taxes payable in respect of the taxable proft for the
year and is measured using the tax rates that have been enacted at the balance sheet date.
Deferred tax is provided for, using the liability method, on temporary differences at the balance
sheet date arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the
fnancial statements. In principle, deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all taxable temporary
differences and deferred tax assets are recognised for all deductible temporary differences,
unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that taxable proft will
be available against which the deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused
tax credits can be utilised. Deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition
on an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the
transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable proft or loss.
Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period when the asset
is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates that have been enacted or substantively
enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred tax is recognised in the income statement, except
when it arises from a transaction which is recognised directly in equity, in which case the deferred
tax is also charged or credited directly in equity, or when it arises from a business combination that
is an acquisition, in which case the deferred tax is included in the resulting goodwill or the amount
of any excess of the acquirees interest in the net fair value of the acquirees identifable assets,
liabilities and contingent liabilities over the cost of the combination.
(e) Impairment of assets
The carrying amounts of assets other than inventories, assets and non-current assets held for
sale, are reviewed at each balance sheet date to determine whether there is any indication of
impairment.
If any such indication exists, the assets recoverable amount is estimated to determine the amount
of impairment loss. For goodwill and intangible assets that have indefnite useful lives or that are
not yet available for use, the recoverable amount is estimated at each reporting date.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash generating unit
exceeds its recoverable amount unless the asset is carried at a revalued amount, in which case the
impairment loss is recognised directly against any revaluation surplus for the asset to the extent
that the impairment loss does not exceed the amount in the revaluation surplus for that same
asset. A cash-generating unit is the smallest identifable asset group that generates cash fows
that largely are independent from other assets and groups. Impairment losses are recognised
in the income statement. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are
allocated frst to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to
reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit on a prorata basis.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use
and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash fows
are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that refects current market
assessments of the time value of money and the risks specifc to the asset.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment
losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the
loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change
in the estimates used to determine the recoverable amount. An impairment loss is reversed only to
the extent that the assets carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have
been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
304
Reversals of impairment losses are credited to the income statement in the year in which the
reversals are recognised, unless it reverses an impairment loss on a revalued asset, in which
case it is credited directly to revaluation surplus. Where an impairment loss on the same revalued
asset was previously recognised in the income statement, a reversal of that impairment loss is
also recognised in the income statement.
(f) Employee Benefts
(i) Short term employee benefts
Wages, salaries, allowances, social security contribution, bonuses and non-monetary benefts
are recognised as an expense in the year in which the associated services are rendered by
the employees.Short term accumulating compensated absences such as paid annual leave
are recognised when services are rendered by employees that increase their entitlement
to future compensated absences, and short term non-accumulating compensated absences
such as sick leave are recognised when the absences occur.
(ii) Post-employment benefts
The Company contributes to the Employees Provident Fund, the national defned contribution
plan. The contributions are charged to the income statement in the period to which they
are related. Once the contributions have been paid, the Company has no further payment
obligations.
(g) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of cash fow statement comprise cash in hand and
bank balances.
