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.

...Corporate Governance of Commercial Banks in Bangladesh Introduction: The need for corporate governance arises from the potential conflicts of interest among stakeholders in the corporate structure. These conflicts of interest often arise from two main reasons. First, different stakeholders have different goals and preferences. Second, the stakeholders have imperfect information as to each others actions, knowledge, and preferences. Corporate governance (CG) is an important effort to ensure accountability and responsibility and is a set of principles, which should be incorporated into every part of the organization. Though it is viewed as a recent issue, there is, in fact, nothing new about the concept. Because it has been in existence as long as the corporation itself-as long as there has been large – scale trade, reflecting the need for responsibility in the handling money and the conduct of commercial activities. Numerous works, studies, and researches have been conducted to enact principles, codes, and guidelines for ensuring good corporate governance systems and culture within the organizations.
