Banking business definitely established on a relationship of Debtor-creditor between the surplus unit called depositor and the bank and between the deficit unit called borrowers and the bank. Here, opportunity coast of money works as interest is considered the price of the credit. For the development of an economy, bank furnishes a huge contribution and modem economy can not be imagined without the service of bank. Economic development of a country requires a well organized, smooth, easy to reach and efficient saving-investment process. The function of a single bank is not limited to its geographical region only rather it has reached beyond the border of the country. So banking business has been shaped as global business and the rest other business greatly depend on the strength of banking business performance.

...have also been plagued by identical loan default problems. The persistent default problems, the rapid increase in the level of outstanding loans, inefficient management, corruption among the bank officials and employees and the deterioration of customer services in the NCBs led the GOB to allow operations of private commercial banks in 1983. There has been mushroom growth of PCBs in Bangladesh during 1990s and there are now 30 PCBs, some of which are owned by the loan defaulters of the IDFIs and NCBs. The PCBs provide, apart from deposit taking activities and short term loans to borrowers. They also provide long term industrial loans to the borrowers but their long term lending activities are in no way as large as those of the NCBs. Regardless of their ownership in private hands and operational independence, PCBs suffer from a number of problems including high loan default which contributed to their failure to meet capital adequacy requirements. The amount of PCBs bad loan was Taka 41.47 billion in September 2003, and six PCBs have written off 90% of the total bad loans accrued until that time. It was reported that Pubali Bank written off Taka 1.63 billion , Uttara Bank Taka 3.24 billon, AB Bank Taka 1.32 billion, City Bank Taka 2.03 billion, Islami Bank Taka 1.35 billion and IFIC Bank Taka 2.98 billion.

...BANKING A bank is a financial intermediary that accepts deposits and channels those deposits into lending activities, either directly or through capital markets. A bank connects customers with capital deficits to customers with capital surpluses. Banking is generally a highly regulated industry, and government restrictions on financial activities by banks have varied over time and location. The current set of global bank capital standards is called Basel II. In some countries such as Germany, banks have historically owned major stakes in industrial corporations while in other countries such as the United States banks are prohibited from owning non-financial companies. In Japan, banks are usually the nexus of a cross-share holding entity known as the keiretsu. The oldest bank still in existence is Monte dei Paschi di Siena, headquartered in Siena, Italy, which has been operating continuously since 1472.[1] Contents • 1.

...onset of modern industry in the country, the need for government regulated banking system was felt. The British government began to pay attention towards the need for an organised banking sector in the country and Reserve Bank of India was set up to regulate the formal banking sector in the country. But the growth of modern banking remained slow mainly due to lack of surplus capital in the Indian economic system at that point of time. Modern banking institutions came up only in big cities and industrial centres. The rural areas, representing vast majority of Indian society, remained dependent on the indigenous money lenders for their credit needs. Independence of the country heralded a new era in the growth of modern banking. Many new commercial banks came up in various parts of the country. As the modern banking network grew, the government began to realise that the banking sector was catering only to the needs of the well-to-do and the capitalists. The interests of the poorer sections as well as those of the common man were being ignored. In 1969, Indian government took a historic decision to nationalise 14 biggest private commercial banks. A few more were nationalised after a couple of years. This resulted in transferring the ownership of these banks to the State and...

The study aimed to test and confirm the effectiveness of the common determinants of commercial banks lending behaviour and how it affects the lending behaviour of commercial banks in Nigeria. The model used is estimated using Nigerian commercial banks loan advance (LOA) and other determinants or variables such as their volume of deposits (Vd), their investment portfolio (Ip), interest (lending) rate (Ir), stipulated cash reserve requirements ratio (Rr) and their liquidity ratio (Lr) for the period; 1980 – 2005. The model hypothesizes that there is functional relationship between the dependent variable and the specified independent variables. From the regression analysis, the model was found to be significant and its estimators turned out as expected and it was discovered that commercial banks deposits have the greatest impacts on their lending behaviour. The study then suggests that commercial banks should focus on mobilizing more deposits as this will enhance their lending...

...A Stochastic Approach to Indian Banking Sector : Technical Analysis of Private Sector Banks Dr. Rahul Rajan Abhilasha Srivastava Abstract The objective of this paper is to present a method for estimating the cost efficiency of Indian banks in order to study the degree of technical and cost performance of the Indian banking sector and to analyze how the banking sector has been affected by technical efficiency and cost efficiency. Initially, the evolution in the technical front in the banks between 2005 to 2012 is measured. For this analysis purpose a sample of 101 Indian banks including 28 public ,29 private and 44 foreign banks operating in India is taken for the period 2005-2012. For analysis purpose both the parametric method of productive efficiency frontier (Stochastic Frontier Analysis ) and nonparametric method (Data Envelopment Analysis) are taken. Introduction The financial system is the lifeline of the economy. The changes in the economy get mirrored in the performance of the financial system, more so of the banking industry. The banking system in India is significantly different from that of other Asian nations because of the country’s unique geographic, social, and economic characteristics. India has a large population and land size, a diverse culture, and extreme disparities in income, which are marked among its regions. There are high levels of illiteracy among a large percentage of its population but, at the same time, the country has a large reservoir...

...1.0 INTRODUCTION The commercial banking system dominates Bangladesh's financial sector. Bangladesh Bank is the Central Bank of Bangladesh and the chief regulatory authority in the sector. There are a total of 51 banks in Bangladesh, and this banking system is composed of four state-owned commercial banks, five specialized development banks, thirty eight private commercial Banks and nine foreign commercial banks. Hence we can easily say that the private commercial banks (PCBs) comprise for the largest portion of the banking sector. The banking sector has attracted a lot of fresh graduates for a very long time because of their work environment and other facilities that they provide. Moreover, the work environment and culture of the private commercial banks are such that the employees are motivated to work and prove themselves to their employers. One such approach made by PCBs was to offer a higher post to the young, newly hired graduates as they believed that this would help to increase employee satisfaction. This strategy has by many means been successful as well as a little unsuccessful for the banks. The overall study shows that simply hiring employees in higher posts cannot increase their overall job satisfaction; rather, a lot of other factors also need to be considered in order to ensure the satisfaction of the employees. 2.0 OBJECTIVE The main objective of this paper is to show how much effective the attempt was made by the owners of the PCBs to increase employee...

Not only did the crisis hit the economics of the industry by slowing net inflows and squeezing margins, it has also led to structural changes. Following a difficult year in 2009, when net inflows in developed markets were negligible and margins and profits hit record lows, a modest improvement was seen in 2010. It seemed at first that this recovery would continue in 2011. But, after a good start, the industry suffered from a difficult second half: markets fell and profits stagnated at low levels. The situation has not yet improved in 2012; another good start was wiped out in the second quarter. Given the continued growth in global wealth, this implies that private banks are failing to capture their fair share of the market. The longer-term structural changes caused by the crisis are creating...

...Federal Financial Aid to help pay for school. In the midst of the election season the Republican candidate, Mitt Romney, voiced how he wants to end government funding. Currently, the nation provides direct government funding and Governor Romney is in favor of giving private banks and institutions the responsibility to provide student loans to those in need. Many people are deeply concerned with the issue at hand. Private Institutions vs. Government Disbursement The educational reform is a debate that is widely argued between the two presidential candidates. The current system of how student loans are disbursed in the United States is not perfect, but it is working. Both candidates are in favor of receiving higher education, but differ on how individuals should pay to learn. Throughout the presidential debates both candidates took a firm stand as to where they both stand on the topic of student loans and government funding. College tuition costs are increasing at a rapidly linear rate each and every year. The problem is college students today are taking on the burden of steep student loans and left without a job upon graduation. The average annual cost to attend a four-year institution is roughly $35,000. Some private institutions will run a tab of $50,000 annually. With rising tuition cost government funding is necessary for students to pay for school. Obama & Romney Plans President Barak Obama believes that providing direct financial assistance with as low of interest...
