Evaluation of banking sector’s development in bangladesh in light of financia...Alexander Decker
The document evaluates the development of Bangladesh's banking sector in light of financial reforms over the past decades.

Determinants of Profitability of Commercial Banks in BangladeshPremier Publishers
The paper examined the profitability determinants of private commercial banks of Bangladesh for the year 2014 and 2015. The study employed annual data for all the 11 private commercial banks of Bangladesh for the year 2014 and 2015. Multiple regression analyses were run to capture the significant determinants of profitability and to test hypothesis. The empirical findings from this study suggested that asset size and Net Interest Margin ratio had no significant effect on the profitability. But the impact of non-performing loans to total loans (NPL) on profitability was observed as the most significant among various variables. Furthermore, investment activities, mainly in shares and debentures of private sectors also have some positive impact on return on equity (ROE). The findings also suggested that diversified banking activities including the investment activities made these banks more profitable. Diversified banking activities are welcomed but if these activities include higher proportion of volatile trading activity rather than low risk income streams like fees and commission, the risk may become higher. The policy direction should be directed in such a way which will enhance the resilience and efficiency of the financial institutions with the aim of intensifying the sturdiness as well as strength of the banking sector.

Here is a 150-word introduction for the manuscript:
The tumor suppressor protein p53 plays a crucial role in regulating the cell cycle and preventing uncontrolled cell proliferation. In cells where p53 is absent or mutated, this loss of growth regulation allows tumors to form and progress. Traditionally, p53 was thought to suppress tumors through cell-autonomous mechanisms, inducing cell cycle arrest or apoptosis in cells experiencing DNA damage or other stresses. However, recent evidence suggests p53 can also exert non-cell autonomous tumor suppressive effects. This manuscript aims to review the emerging evidence that p53 induces cellular senescence in neighboring cells, which activates a senescence-associated secretory phenotype that influences the tumor microenvironment and limits tumor growth in

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

With the world knowing identity, Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation
(HSBC) started its operation in Bangladesh in 1996. With such a brand image,
outstanding marketing activities and modern product and service area, they also built a
place in Bangladeshi market as well. So here I have tried to focus upon the gist expansion
strategy of HSBC in Bangladesh, highlighting in Dhaka city. This is aimed to have an
overview of how they are operating and expanding their business in Bangladesh
presently.
Starting from the company overview, I have put light on giving a brief about HSBC as a
global bank and HSBC in Bangladesh. Further, I have moved on to explore the Macro
Economic forces of HSBC. As I have found from the speech of HSBC persons, their Macro
Economic factors. I have showed the five forces analysis and six segment analysis of the
business. Moreover, it is also very important to have a clear and specific idea about the
selected organization’s current situation. So I have also done a SWOT analysis of HSBC.
And based on that, I have suggested some strategies that they can adopt, in the SWOT matrix.
The study also reflects a competitor analysis with the main foreign competitor banks in
Bangladesh. This is to understand HSBC’s position in the market as well as their
strategies to face the competitive situation.
Finally I have gone through my own assessment regarding their operation. I have also given
some recommendation in that assessment that may improve the operation of HSBC in
Bangladesh in future.

After the liberation war, and the eventual independence of Bangladesh, the Government of
Bangladesh reorganized the Dhaka branch of the State Bank of Pakistan as the central bank of the
country, and named it Bangladesh Bank. This reorganization was done pursuant to Bangladesh Bank
Order, 1972, and the Bangladesh Bank came into existence with retrospective effect from 16 December
1971. In 1972, the government decided to nationalize all banks in order to channel funds to the public
sector. In 1982, the first reform program was initiated, where the government denationalized two of the
six nationalized commercial banks and permitted local private banks to create competition in the banking
sector. The Financial Sector Adjustment Credit (FSAC) and Financial Sector Reform Programme (FSRP)
were formed in 1990, upon contracts with the World Bank with the objective to remove government
distortions and lessen the financial repression. FSRP forced banks to have a minimum capital adequacy,
to systematically classify loans and to implement modern accounting systems and computerized systems.
It forced the central bank to free up interest rates, revise financial laws, and to increase supervision in the
credit market. The government also developed the capital market, which too was performing poorly. [4]

In order to start their journey in Bangladesh, HSBC obtained license from the central
bank on 17 April 1996 to conduct banking business and commenced formal banking
operations on 3 December 1996 through opening first branch in Dhaka. It has expanded its
operations in the country through 9 branches in Dhaka, Chittagong and Sylhet, 1 offshore
banking unit, 27 ATM booths, and 7 customer services centers. Presently, Mr. Sanjay Prokash
is the CEO of HSBC Bangladesh. HSBC Bangladesh is rated among the highest level of rating
for any bank or financial institution in Bangladesh.
HSBC Bangladesh offers a comprehensive range of financial services such as commercial
banking, consumer banking, payments and cash management, trade services, treasury, and
custody and clearing. The offshore banking unit is in the Export Processing Zones, which is only
limited to investors in the EPZs. A special service called NRB Services is also available for non
resident Bangladeshis, which allows consumers to maintain accounts in US Dollars, Pound
Sterling and Euros. People using this service can freely remit money from Bangladesh to any
part of the world and can access their money from any HSBC booth around the world. HSBC's
global Islamic banking system called Amanah is also available in Bangladesh, which runs
completely according to Islamic Shariah. It is one of the very few banks in the country to offer
day night banking. As of 2009 the total revenue earned by HSBC Bangladesh is $ 58 million.

government in the countries where they are operating. The company has been able to adhere to
the policies given by each government to make sure that the company will be able to conduct

Being the world's largest and competitive industry in terms of banking and finance,
HSBC, is said to have a stable and successful economic stability. In spite of many dangers that
they encounter in different parts of the world, the management of HSBC sees to it that they

Technological Aspect
The emergence of information technology and internet affects how HSBC has been
operating in the past years. The company adopts different IT/IS systems and used internet to
reach their customer all over the world and to know the latest trends in the global business. Aside
from these, the company also uses facilities which helps them improved their productions and
operations.
Porters Five Forces Model:
It’s a model devised by Michael Porter to aid firms in analyzing competitive forces in an industry
environment.

Figure- 2: Porters Five Forces Model
10. 8 | P a g e
Porter 5 forces analysis on HSBC:
Bargaining power of Customer:
Buyer concentration to firm concentration ratio:
Bank industry is a high buyer concentration industry, many people use
bank service, such as deposit money, mortgage, loan, investment, insurance and
currency exchange (HIGH). The concentration ratio of international bank
industry is medium, many large bank exist in Bangladesh, such as Standard
Chartered, CitiBank, HSBC and Dutch Bangla Bank (Medium).
Buyer information availability (HIGH):
When Internet becomes changing people’s life, customer can easily obtain
information through Internet, they can easily compare the price and service.
Buyer price sensitivity (HIGH):
Interest Rate and service charge is sensitive indicator for customer in bank
industry, customer may due to those indicators to draw out all or a lot amount of
capital from bank to bank/ other financial institution. The switching cost of this
action is low.
Availability of existing substitutes products (HIGH):
Many substitute product or service present in recent year, such as currency
exchange, insurance and loan. They mainly provided by other financial
institution.
11. 9 | P a g e
Bargaining power of Supplier (Low):
Bank capital supplier (Low):
Depositor also is capital supplier of bank, they will compare with other
financial product to see whether draw out capital or not.
Computer equipment supplier (Low):
The concentration ratio of computer is high, many companies use IBM,
but it doesn’t mean other computer companies are not good, such as Sun
Microsystems, Fujitsu and Hewlett-Pack also provide similar computer equipment
and solution.
Credit Card supplier (Medium):
Credit Card industry is a high concentration ratio industry, VISA, Master
Card and American Express is the most popular credit card in the world. Although
other organization also release credit card system, such as JCB, there market share
in the world is much less than these three organizations. Moreover, these three
organizations brand name is louder than other organizations, so the switching cost
from these organizations to others may be too large.
Threats of new entrants (High):
When many countries and cities join WTO and the Internet effect, the barrier of bank
become disappear. Many financial even non-financial organizations can easily entry to bank
industry. They can use more little money to build a website; they can also integrate with other
organizations. The switching cost of this behavior become smaller than before and the advantage
is larger than before also.
12. 10 | P a g e
Threats of substitute product:
Internet makes many organizations can use smaller amount of money relatively to
provide similar even same service, and the service charge become smaller. Customer will due to
convenience, low cost and high efficiency to change the service to other organization. Real-time
money transfer (i.e. Western Union), real-time payment (i.e. Paypal), currency exchange (i.e.
Xe.com) and insurance (i.e. InsWeb.com), they through Internet to provide a high quality but
low service charge service.
The intensity of competitive rivalry:
There are many banks in the world, as “The Banker” magazine mentioned, the Earning
Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) in 2010 of top 1000 banks in the world is 6451 billion US
dollars, higher than 2009. Due to technology becomes improve; financial control become release
and the change of environment in the society, competition between banks become violent and the
maturity of financial market in western country is very high, so the competitiveness force bank to
find other profit continuously.
13. 11 | P a g e
2. Internal Environment:
Internal Environment is the environment inside the industry. This can be controlled. There are
two segments of internal environment. They are:
i. Industry environment: A group of organizations producing products, or
services which are close substitutes.
ii. Competitor environment: A group of organizations collecting information
about the competitor’s strength, intelligence, capabilities, weakness etc.

According to another objective of the report, I have come up with an analysis of HSBC with its
main competitors. Here I have considered two of the major foreign banks operating in Bangladesh,
Standard Chartered Bank and Citi Bank N.A., as its main competitor.
Here is brief overview of the two selected competitors-
Standard Chartered Bank Bangladesh (SCB)
Standard Chartered Bank is the largest international bank in Bangladesh with 25 branches
and 50 ATMs over the country.16 It is the only foreign bank in the country which has presence
in 6 cities - Dhaka, Chittagong, Khulna, Sylhet, Bogra and Narayanganj including two
offshore banking units inside Dhaka Export Processing Zone (DEPZ) and Chittagong Export
Processing Zone (CEPZ). The bank currently is employing over 1,300 employees in Bangladesh.
Previously, Standard Chartered Bangladesh has bought out the operations of two other foreign
banks in Bangladesh which were Grindlays Bank and American Express.
The products and services offered by SCB are consumer banking, priority banking, private
banking, SME banking, wholesale banking and the shariah banking named Saadiq banking etc.
With a banking heritage spanning more than 150 years, Standard Chartered has developed
extensive global reach and a strong position in emerging markets and new

trade corridor. It is committed to build a sustainable business over the long term that is trusted
worldwide for upholding high standards of corporate governance, social responsibility, environmental
protection and employee diversity.
Citibank N.A.
Citibank N.A. is another renowned foreign bank operating in Bangladesh. It is a preeminent
financial services company, with some 200 million customer accounts in more than 100 countries.
Citigroup established its presence in Bangladesh in 1987 through a representative office. The bank
opened its first full-service branch in Dhaka in 1995. It now has three branches in the two major cities of

Bangladesh, Dhaka and Chittagong and 2 offshore banking units, with 82 employees serving both
corporate and few individual customers. Their operations encompass corporate bank, financial
institutions, treasury and e-business under the global corporate and investment banking area. They
provide a comprehensive range of financial services including treasury management, transaction services,
foreign exchange and structured finance to corporate clients, governments, and financial institutions. The
bank has been offering its customers the highest standard of financial services backed by sophisticated
technology and innovative product solutions. The bank also provides remittance services to the expatriate
community largely in Middle Eastern countries as well as across the world.
Basically Citibank provides the commercial banking service mainly focusing on corporate clients
and financial institutions in Bangladesh.

¾ Competitive advantage of HSBC
Briefly, competitive advantage is a position a business occupies against its competitors. HSBC follows
some strategies for creating a competitive advantage. Likewise-
1. Differentiation and sustaining the brand image: HSBC has already created a brand image in the
customers mind and that makes them different among others. It is a renowned bank not only in
Bangladesh, but also throughout the world. So customers have a trust on this name and they feel
secure to bank with HSBC. Retaining this brand position is one of the key policies of HSBC to
differentiate themselves among others.
2. Quality leadership: Quality advantage occurs with HSBC when it delivers the same services as its
competitors but at a better quality. It has an approach that focuses on providing the same quality
service to all of their customers. So even they have specific number of branches compare to the main
competitors, but they believe to ensure the quality services over there; rather than going with lots of
branches.
Analysis
16. 14 | P a g e
¾ In terms of expansion of branches and area coverage
Standard Chartered Bank is largest among these three in terms of area coverage, with the
largest network of branches and customer base in the country.
HSBC plays in the market with a few numbers of branches but the brand value and
service quality of HSBC allow HSBC to run flourishing business so far, in spite of SCB’s
significant presence.
Citibank N.A has a comparatively small expansion throughout Bangladesh, even in
Dhaka city; and their focus is mostly on selected large customers like institutions or
corporate clients.
¾ In terms of products and services
Among these three banks, the Islamic banking option is offered by HSBC and SCB, not by
Citibank N.A. This bank has not yet come up with this demanding banking service by Bangladeshi
customers.
HSBC net is one of the unique features of HSBC where customers can get real- time account
information by using it anytime and anywhere. This facility is not given by two others in such a way.
For processing the remittance, Citibank N.A. has a first mover advantage with introducing
Cheque outsourcing services. Citibank uses its own branches as well as local banks as payment
corresponding bank to reach the remote areas of the country to transfer the remittances by issuing pay
orders and demand drafts. This way has not been adopted by two other banks yet.
17. 15 | P a g e
When we deeply analysis the position of any company, SWOT analysis plays a significant role.
Like other companies, HSBC also has some internal strength and weakness as well as some external
opportunities and threats.
Strength:
The brand value of HSBC: As HSBC holds an international identity and it is
already well known to the customers, so people have a positive image and
perception regarding HSBC. HSBC itself is a brand name and people want to be a part
of such company.
Quality service provider: HSBC is very much concerned regarding giving the best
quality services to its customers. It also aims to provide the same kind and level of
service to all its customers. They are committed to satisfy customers with high quality
service that reflects their global image.
Use of modern technology: HSBC uses modern technology to provide the
efficient and effective services to customers. They aim to be updated with
technological changes so that they can make their service and products more useful
to their customers. HSBC net is one of the examples of their use of modern technology.
Cultural flexibility: HSBC design their products and services and their business
activities according to the culture of operating country, what they have done in
Bangladesh as well. These efforts make their customers feel that they respect and value
Bangladeshi culture and life style.
Weakness:
Few branches all over the country: Compared to the time of operations of HSBC in
Bangladesh, their numbers of branches are very limited. Rather their focus is only big cities, not to
cover the whole country.
Customer concentration: HSBC has a strong concentrate on the big corporate clients and upper
class customers. They ignore a large portion of customer base (like the middle class group) and they
split to other local banks.
SWOTAnalysis
18. 16 | P a g e
Less coordination between front and back office: HSBC’s back office and front office has
some miscommunication and lack of coordination. The work and efforts of the back office people is
not appreciated equally by management. As a result they do not have a quite healthy relation which is
harmful for the overall operation of the bank.
Opportunity:
Departure and limited operations of other foreign banks: Some of the foreign banks have left
Bangladesh and some have only one or two branch in Dhaka (like- Woori Bank, Habib Bank etc).
Even they are also multinational banks, but these banks have kept their operations very limited in
Bangladesh yet.
Governmental facilities: Even though there are lots of regulation in operations of banks in
Bangladesh, but the Govt. is changing these so that they can make the service area wider for the
customers. Likewise- implementation of Basel 2.
New technologies: The banking jobs were mostly done manually at a period. Even the Govt.
banks are still using manual process in their services. By technological changes has changed the
service completely like 24 hours banking facilities. Lots of new changes are coming day by day and if
they adopt those can make their more efficient.
Threats:
Competitors: There are other already established foreign and local banks in Bangladesh
presently. New competitors are coming as well as existing banks are getting together in many services
(like-shared ATM booth). They also grab any new product and service categories very quickly. Thus
competitors are making threats to the company.
Customer Shifting: Customers are splitting down to other competitors
Govt. rules: The existing rules and laws regarding banking operation are very strict in
Bangladesh. Moreover foreign banks are bound with more bindings to have their business in
Bangladesh.

other banks, they can have them by
promoting and providing quality service
as well as can through this cultural

It goes without saying that HSBC has got a simplified and slow expansion strategy in Dhaka as
well as in Bangladesh. The main reason behind such strategy is to ensure quality service to the customers
and to maintain their brand image. So accessing all these facts, a gradual and eventual development can
be seen. The overall expansion strategy has been improved since its commencement and it is growing day
by day. So we can understand the presence of HSBC is Bangladesh would be long term orientated and
they would serve the Bangladeshi people more extensively.
HSBC is already a brand name which is recognized all over the country. Yet I have come up
with my own assessment and some recommendation for HSBC, on the areas that I have covered
so far. Like-
HSBC has very few numbers of branches in Bangladesh. They should expand their
branches more in Dhaka as well as in the whole country. This will not only increase their
business area but also give chance to serve more customers.
They are more concerned with the global and corporate customer group. In addition to
that, they can also give some special service and facilities to other customer groups as well.
HSBC has always stepped ahead in terms of bringing new technological advantage in
products and services. They also put focus on providing and ensuring quality service to all of
their customers.
Even though Bangladesh Bank has many rules and regulation for the banks operating in
Bangladesh, but then also competitors are increasing day by day in this sector. So
considering this factor they should have proper strategic plans, both short term and long term,
so that they can face any type of challenge and their business can have smooth running.
Conclusion
Recommendation
24. 22 | P a g e
The management of HSBC Bangladesh should put special attention to reduce the
coordination gap between front and back office. This problem can have serious impact on
their service as well as on their image.
HSBC has some sort of hidden charges and interests in their loans and credit facilities.
These things hamper customers and may create some negative feelings towards them. So
these sorts of fees or interests should be clearly defined to the customers.
The main revenue of HSBC comes from the corporate banking category, which is one of
the reasons that they don’t have varieties of loan categories. But most of the banks are
earning revenue from the loan sector and they have number of loan categories (like- any
purpose load is providing by Prime Bank). HSBC can also introduce different types of loan
facilities for their customers. This can help their existing customers as well as can enhance
new customers to them.
They can plan further move to gain competitive advantage over the rivals (likewise the
position of SCB is also very established in Bangladesh). In pursuing advantage over rivals,
they may pursue several competitive moves. For example- lowering or changing interest
rates in their services, improving features, implementing innovations in the service etc.
HSBC is among one of those banks which has taken number of corporate social activities
and tried to put local touch with their business in Bangladesh. Such respectful attitudes
towards our country and culture have been appreciated by the Bangladeshi people.
