Suddenly 2 days earlier, when I matched my bonds with Prize bond lottery result, I have found that I am winner of 4th prize of 78th lottery draw amounting 50,000 Taka.

I am going to share my experience regarding on the 4th Convocation 2014 of Daffodil International University (DIU), which was my dream.


At first, I congratulate the entire graduate and post graduate students of Daffodil International University and also all staffs and supporting force who were engaged with this program.

Specially, I am also thankful to Md. Sabur Khan, Chairman, BOT for arranging this sort of program as well as 1st International Career fair for all students. 

Now, I would like to share my experience regarding Convocation.

Convocation, a dream of graduates. Students eagerly wait for the day. Black coat and hat, special symbols and sign, rally with Chancellors! Photo session, meet with friends etc.

I also see the dream like that way because I have completed my graduation and post graduation from our beloved Daffodil International University (DIU) and fortunately, I have honored for BBA and MBA degree from 4th convocation ceremony. So, this day was very special for my life.

One more thing, I am very lucky to observe the convocation in our permanent campus and I felt honor to show my permanent campus to my parents at their own eyes at the day of 4th convocation ceremony.

I’m finally here.  MY CONVOCATION DAY   on 6th March, 2014. That morning I was feeling both excited and anxious for the most memorable moment in my life to come. I woke up at 5.30 am and got ready.  I checked my hat, suit, tie, invitation letter, coupon and everything, I had made sure that everything was perfectly in order and went out from home just struck 6.30 am with my parents and wife. After I had reached at Manik-Mia-Avenue, the buses left one by one with full of students and guardians from Manik- Mia Avenue to Permanent Campus at Auhulia, Savar, Dhaka.

After reaching permanent campus, office staffs are welcomed us with flowers. We started photo session with my family and friends. After that I joined the rally and rally walked down around the campus and reached to the stage. After that our honorable Convocation speaker Dr. Achyuta Samanta , Vice Chancellor Prof. Dr. M. Lutfar Rahman , Education Minister Mr. Nurul Islam Nahid (MP), Md. Sabur Khan (Chairman, BOT) and other honorable guests came and went on the stage. After their short speech they announced that “You all can change the position of tassel from left to right and welcome you all are now graduate. We (all students) are shouting “Yahoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo”


The feeling was unexplainable. I am proud to receive the degree. I met with my ex class mates, friends and who were looking very dashing and smart. I took huge number of photo shoot with my friends & family and having lunch with my friends. After that I showed my parents the whole campus of my university and then enjoyed the cultural program. Finally, after finishing the cultural program, we collected dinner and safely reached to the home.

Banks rein in credit growth

Tuesday, August 23, 2011



Commercial banks lowered the credit growth to almost half of their deposits in the six months through June, thanks to the central bank's efforts to put a leash on loans.

Banks' deposits rose 11.22 percent to Tk 4,14,053 crore on June 30 from December 31 last year. Credit increased 6.02 percent to Tk 3,36,223 crore in the same period, according to data from Bangladesh Bank.

Banks seem to have returned from aggressive banking, putting brakes on credit expansion.

K Mahmood Sattar, president of Association of Bankers, Bangladesh, said the banks have consciously reduced their credit.

A Pubali Bank official said the central bank took steps to cut credit growth. Many banks were compelled to lower their credit to correct mismatches in fund management.

In an effort to control credit growth, Bangladesh Bank raised repo and reverse repo interest rates by 225 basis points in four steps in the last one year. It also raised the cash reserve ratio for banks by 50 basis points in December 2010.

The central bank's Monetary Policy Statement released in July also said BB's supervisory and credit policy steps to rectify unbalanced lending practices in banks included monitoring and enforcing of prudent advance deposit ratios and good forward looking liquidity management.

The banking regulator took measures to cut the banks' exposure to risky investments, including stocks and discouraged the banks from giving loans to unproductive sectors.

Besides, BB withdrew the lending cap, except for thrust sectors, resulting in a substantial increase in the rate of interest on bank loans.

The average rate of interest on loan was 11.23 percent in June last year, which rose to 12.17 percent in May this year.

A senior vice president of United Commercial Bank said banks took effective steps to increase deposit, as they faced a liquidity crisis. They increased the interest rate on deposits on one hand, and introduced a series of deposit schemes with attractive offers on the other.

The average interest rate on deposits increased to 7.24 percent in May, compared to 5.95 percent in June last year, according to the central bank statistics.

Credit outpaced deposit growth at some state and foreign banks. The deposit of state commercial banks increased by 10.01 percent and credit went up 13.99 percent.

In line with the government policy, state banks had to give loans to many government agencies, including Bangladesh Petroleum Corporation, said an official of Agrani Bank that gave the largest amount to the state fuel distributor. The result was, credit growth outstripped deposits.

But the deposits of private commercial banks rose by 12.16 percent and credit by 5.56 percent in the six months through June.

বিদেশি সহায়তা কমেছে প্রায় ১৮%

 তারিখ: ২৩-০৮-২০১১



গত ২০১০-১১ অর্থবছরে বাংলাদেশ আশানুরূপ বিদেশি সহায়তা পায়নি। প্রতিশ্রুত অর্থ ছাড়ের পরিমাণ আগের বছরের চেয়েও কমে গেছে।
অর্থনৈতিক সম্পর্ক বিভাগ (ইআরডি) সূত্রে জানা গেছে, গত অর্থবছরে ১৭৭ কোটি ৭৩ লাখ ডলারের সমপরিমাণ অর্থ ছাড় করেছে দাতা দেশ ও সংস্থাগুলো। ২০০৯-১০ অর্থবছরে এর পরিমাণ ছিল ২১৬ কোটি ৪৪ লাখ ডলার। ফলে এক বছরের ব্যবধানে বিদেশি সহায়তাপ্রাপ্তি কমেছে প্রায় ১৮ শতাংশ।
বিদেশি সহায়তার মধ্যে ঋণ হিসেবে পাওয়া গেছে ১০৫ কোটি ডলার আর অনুদান হিসেবে মিলেছে ৭২ কোটি ৬৬ লাখ ডলার।
অবশ্য ইআরডি কর্মকর্তারা জানান, এটি সাময়িক তথ্য। পূর্ণাঙ্গ তথ্য এলে বিদেশি সহায়তাপ্রাপ্তির পরিমাণ ১৮০ কোটি ডলার ছাড়িয়ে যাবে।
গত অর্থবছর পদ্মা সেতু নির্মাণে অর্থ সহায়তার প্রতিশ্রুতিসহ দাতারা মোট ৫৯২ কোটি ডলারের সহায়তা দেওয়ার প্রতিশ্রুতি দিয়েছিল। এর মধ্যে পদ্মা সেতু নির্মাণের জন্য ২৩৭ কোটি ডলার রয়েছে।
এদিকে গত ২০১০-১১ অর্থবছরে বাংলাদেশকে প্রায় ৯১ কোটি ১৩ লাখ ডলার সুদসহ আসল পরিশোধ করতে হয়েছে। এর মধ্যে আসল ৭২ কোটি ৪০ লাখ ডলার। আর সুদ হিসেবে পরিশোধ করতে হয়েছে ১৮ কোটি ৬৪ লাখ ডলার।
সে হিসাবে বলা যায়, বাংলাদেশকে প্রাপ্ত বিদেশি সহায়তার প্রায় অর্ধেকই আগের গৃহীত ঋণ ও সুদের জন্য ব্যয় করতে হচ্ছে।
আবার আগের ঋণের আসল পরিশোধ বাদ দিলে গত অর্থবছর প্রকৃত বা নিট বিদেশি সহায়তার পরিমাণ দাঁড়ায় প্রায় ১০৫ কোটি ডলার।
পরিসংখ্যান থেকে আরও দেখা যায় যে ২০০৯-১০ অর্থবছরে ২১৬ কোটি ৪৪ লাখ ডলারের মোট সহায়তার বিপরীতে বকেয়া ঋণের আসল বাবদ ৬৮ কোটি ৭৪ লাখ ডলার পরিশোধ করতে হয়েছিল। ফলে প্রকৃত সহায়তার পরিমাণ ছিল ১৪৭ কোটি ৭০ লাখ ডলার।
কে কত দিল: গত ২০১০-১১ অর্থবছরে সবচেয়ে বেশি অর্থ ছাড় করেছে এশীয় উন্নয়ন ব্যাংক (এডিবি)। এডিবি তাদের ৯১ কোটি ৩০ লাখ ডলারের প্রতিশ্রুতির বিপরীতে ৪৩ কোটি ৪৭ লাখ ডলার ছাড় করেছে ঋণ হিসেবে।
অন্যদিকে বিশ্বব্যাংক থেকে পাওয়া গেছে ৪২ কোটি ১৪ লাখ ডলার। তবে এই সংস্থাটির প্রদেয় প্রতিশ্রুতি ছিল সবচেয়ে বেশি ২০৪ কোটি ডলার।
এ ছাড়া ৬৪ কোটি ২৪ লাখ ডলারের প্রতিশ্রুতির বিপরীতে জাপান ১০ কোটি ৭৬ লাখ ডলার ছাড় করেছে। দক্ষিণ কোরিয়া ১৯ কোটি ডলার প্রতিশ্রুতির বিপরীতে শেষ পর্যন্ত ঋণ দিয়েছে মাত্র চার কোটি ৭০ লাখ ডলারের।
অন্যদিকে অনুদান হিসেবে সবচেয়ে বেশি ১০ কোটি ৫০ লাখ ডলারের সমপরিমাণ অর্থ ছাড় করেছে জাতিসংঘের সংস্থাগুলো। এ ছাড়া এডিবি ১০ কোটি ৪০ লাখ ডলার, বিশ্ব খাদ্য কর্মসূচি (ডব্লিউএফপি) ১০ কোটি ৩০ লাখ ডলার, যুক্তরাজ্যের ইউকেএইড নয় কোটি ৬৬ লাখ ডলার, আইডিএ ৯০ লাখ ডলার অনুদান হিসেবে দিয়েছে।
বেশি বিদেশি সহায়তা ছাড় করতে সরকারের প্রকল্প বাস্তবায়ন সক্ষমতা বাড়ানো প্রয়োজন বলে মনে করেন বাংলাদেশ উন্নয়ন গবেষণা প্রতিষ্ঠানের (বিআইডিএস) মহাপরিচালক মোস্তফা কে মুজেরী।
মোস্তফা কে মুজেরী বলেন, ‘গত অর্থবছরের শুরু থেকেই বিদেশি সহায়তা প্রবাহ কমছে। এই পরিস্থিতি সরকারকে ব্যাংক-ব্যবস্থা থেকে বেশি ঋণ গ্রহণে বাধ্য করছে।’
মুজেরী বলেন, সরকারকে বিদেশি সহায়তা-প্রবাহ বাড়ানোর বিষয়টি খুব গুরত্বের সঙ্গে বিবেচনা করতে হবে। বিশেষ করে বিদেশি সহায়তাপুষ্ট অবকাঠামো প্রকল্পগুলোর দিকে নজর দিতে হবে। এসব প্রকল্প বাস্তবায়ন বিলম্বিত হলে ষষ্ঠ পঞ্চবার্ষিক পরিকল্পনার লক্ষ্য অর্জন বাধাগ্রস্ত হতে পারে।

Wednesday, August 17, 2011

Default loans continued to rise in the second quarter -- by Tk 643 crore or 2.66 percent -- due to sluggish activities in the industrial sector and unhealthy competition among some private banks.

On June 30, banks recorded default loans of Tk 24,384 crore of their outstanding loans, up from Tk 23,752 crore on March 30, according to Bangladesh Bank statistics.

In the first quarter to March, default loans rose by Tk 1,043 crore or 4.59 percent.

In percentage, however, default loans went down slightly because of a rise in outstanding loans.

On June 30, the total amount of default loans was 7.14 percent of their outstanding loans -- down from 7.27 percent in March.

Default loans of all private commercial banks, state-owned commercial banks and foreign commercial banks increased, except for the specialised banks, but the rise was the highest among the private banks.

However, default loans of all the private banks, except two, were low -- below 5 percent.

In June, default loans of the state banks rose by Tk 125 crore compared to March, according to the central bank statistics. Such loans in state banks increased by Tk 592 crore and in the foreign banks by Tk 37 crore.

But default loans of the specialised banks went down by Tk 124 crore during the same period compared to that in March.

Krishi Bank Chairman Khondker Ibrahim Khaled said performance in the manufacturing and housing sectors slowed, which trapped the loans in these sectors.

He also said money of some banks, especially of the private ones, got stuck in the stockmarket after a fall in prices there. He said another reason for a rise in default loans may be the weakness of the banks in monitoring the loan recovery activities.

Due to an unhealthy competition, some banks do not put adequate efforts to realise default loans from some parties.

A senior executive of a private bank supported the views of Khaled, and said many customers do not pay loans timely and the banks concerned also do not put any pressure on them.

Khaled also said, in this context, if the BB approves some more new banks to be set up the unhealthy competition will rise. He said, instead of giving approval to new banks the central bank should intensify monitoring of the existing banks.

How does it work?          

   Customer  fills  up  the  KYC  Form  and  submit  to  agent along with his photograph & National ID (NID)
   Agent checks the Application Form, photograph & NID
   Agent  goes  to  Customer  Registration  Menu  in  his/her mobile and insert customer’s mobile number
   Customer  receives  a call  through  IVR or  USSD  prompt and  in  reply,  s/he  gives  a 4-digit PIN number  of  his/her choice (please remember your PIN)
   A Mobile Account is created in the DBBL system which is his/her mobile number + one check digit
   Customer receives an SMS which contains his/her Mobile Account number (please remember your check digit)

Why PIN is required?

PIN is required to be inputted during cash withdrawal from an Agent or  DBBL  ATM.  PIN  ensures  security  of  your  money  and  protect fraudulent transactions.

Why PIN is strictly confidential?

PIN is the key for transaction of Mobile Banking. Only correct match of  PIN &  Mobile  Number  can  access  the  Mobile  Account.  PIN is needed to verify the A/C owner by the system. If a PIN is disclosed, respective  account is  at risk;  therefore,  PIN should  be handled  very carefully.  

Why Check digit ?
Mobile number is public and known to many people. Without knowing your check digit, none will be able to deposit money at your account, thus  it helps  to  keep  your  mobile account confidential.  On  the  other hand,  a check  digit  eliminates  typing  error, thus  protects  sending or depositing money to a wrong account.  

Which Telco’s Mobile can be registered?

However the customers having mobile  from  operators  other  than  Banglalink  and  Citycell  will  not  be able to initiate many self-initiated services like Balance checking, fund transfer, utility payment, Air-time top up, PIN Change etc. Customers having mobile from Banglalink and Citycell will be able to enjoy all the services – agent-initiated as well as self-initiated.

What type of Mobile set is required?          

Any type of mobile set can be used for DBBL mobile banking.


How much initial deposit is required?

Customers can open a DBBL Mobile Account with an initial deposit of Taka 10/- (taka ten) only.


Can  I  deposit  and  withdraw  money  immediately  after registration?

You can deposit money immediately after registration. However, you can  withdraw  after  your  account is  fully  registered.  Bank  officer verifies  the  information  on  the  registration  form  (KYC  form)  and authorizes the account for full registration. Normally 1-2 working days are required for full registration. After your account is fully registered, you will get an SMS notification.    

How is DBBL Mobile Banking secured?
DBBL  Mobile  Banking  is  highly  secured  as  it uses  either  USSD  or SMS+IVR as  its  communication  channel.  In  case  of  USSD,  both  the instructions and  PIN are  communicated  using  USSD while  in  case  of SMS+IVR,  instructions  are  sent via SMS  and  PIN via  IVR (voice channel) both the USSD and IVR are secured for transmission of PIN .


Customer’s  money  is  safe  as  none  can  withdraw  his/her  money without taking possession of Mobile set, PIN and Check digit togrther. None will be able to deposit unwanted money into a Mobile Banking Account without knowing  the  check  digit (although  the  mobile number is publicly known).

Sunday, August 14, 2011



World stock markets finished a rollercoaster week on a high note Friday, with traders breathing easier but still jittery over the shock waves of slower growth, the US credit downgrade and eurozone debt fears.

One of the most volatile weeks on record saw panic selling, quickly replaced by opportunity buying, and then repeated again; some major stockmarkets plunged more than five percent in one session and then rose more than five percent the next.

At the end, in markets where the sparks to selling originated, in Europe and the United States, net losses were mostly relatively small -- with the exception with Frankfurt's Dax -- while in Asia markets paid more as collateral casualties.

"The pure exhaustion that was this week's market has left participants strained as volatility reigned supreme," said Kimberly DuBord at Briefing.com.

"The prevailing thought on Wall Street ... 'thank goodness it's Friday,'" she said.

For the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1.5 percent, the S&P 500 1.7 percent and the Nasdaq 0.96 percent.

In Europe London's FTSE index stood out as a gainer, adding 1.39 percent, but the other markets tumbled: the CAC 40 lost 2.0 percent for the week, and the DAX, 3.8 percent.

In Asia the Nikkei tumbled 3.6 percent for the week, while the Hang Seng Index of Hong Kong gave up 4.3 percent.

The first spark to a huge selloff on Monday was Standard & Poor's controversial, historic downgrade of the US credit rating. That sent US stocks on their second plunge in three days -- after one the previous Thursday -- with an impact that was echoed around the world.

Markets thrashed around on Tuesday as new worries surfaced in Europe over the debt crisis possibly enveloping Italy and Spain, but mostly recovered their losses for the day on assurances from the European Central Bank, and the US Federal Reserve's pledge to keep interest rates ultra-low for two more years because of sagging economic growth.

But the Fed move bared the touchiness of the markets -- the Dow first rose, then plunged, and then rocketed back up on the rate news.

Wednesday more rumors in Europe, including that France might be downgraded in the wake of the United States, sent markets tumbling again; bank stocks were a focus of selloffs in both Europe and the US.

Thursday, the markets shot up again, as European authorities strained to calm the rumor mill while American traders turned their focus back to individual stocks and their valuations.

Finally on Friday, the markets held onto and added to the gains of the day before, helped by a ban of short sales of bank stocks in four European countries and reasonably positive data on consumer spending in the United States.

The turbulence sent investors and businesses fleeing to safe-havens, and gold pushed to a record high Thursday at $1,814.95, before dropping off to around $1,746 late Friday.

Investors also sought out the Japanese yen and Swiss franc, prompting interventions by Japan's and Switzerland's central banks to prevent further rises.

And despite the US downgrade, traders fled into US Treasury bonds, sending yields at one point Wednesday to historic lows. By the end of the week, the US benchmarket bonds were still hovering near their lowest yields ever.

While calm returned on Friday, all the sources of the jitters -- Europe's dubious capacity to get a hold onto its debt problems; Washington's ability to address the debt-and-deficit issues S&P singled out -- remained in the air.

"We've known about both problems for months ... Neither one of these things should have been a surprise," said Nicholas Colas of ConvergEx Group. "What we've learned this week is that anticipating events is not the same as discounting them."

Traders remain on edge, said Gregori Volokhine of Meeschaert New York.

"Swings of 300-400 points are really hard on the nerves of traders, investors, and the market confidence," he said.

He pointed the finger at poor political leadership, in Washington and in Europe, in dealing with economic and fiscal problems, and said next week's mini-summit between France's and Germany's leaders on the eurozone crisis could bring more calm.

"If we have evidence of a strong political will not just to cut deficits but also to battle a slowing economy, that will be better," he said.

BB brings back credit discipline
Credit-deposit ratio reaches safe limit in June



The credit-deposit ratio (CDR) of commercial banks came down to a safe limit in June, as the surplus inter-bank deposits were included in total deposits.

The banks increased deposits and reduced credit, trimming the CDR further, said an official of the Bangladesh Bank.

Commercial banks are not allowed to invest more than 85 percent of their deposits, while Islamic banks cannot exceed the 90 percent limit.

On June 30, the CDR of 43 local and foreign commercial banks fell to 79.68 percent from more than 85 percent in December last year. In many banks, the ratio was above 100 percent.

The banks' overall deposits increased by 11.22 percent on June 30, compared to six months ago. Credit fell 6.20 percent.

The banks included Tk 7,605 crore in the total deposits in June, according to the central bank.

The banks increased deposits aggressively, and every bank cut lending consciously, which pared down the CDR rate, said K Mahmood Sattar, president of the Association of Bankers Bangladesh.

He said a few banks could reap the benefit of inter-bank deposits but most of the banks' CDR fell as they reduced credit.

The BB set a deadline for the banks to bring down the CDR to the safe limit by June to restore credit discipline. The bank owners met with Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina with an appeal to relax the rules.

The central bank relaxed the rules and said the banks can calculate inter-bank deposits in their total deposits.

The CDR by state commercial banks was 72.9 percent on June 30. Those banks included Tk 4,580 crore inter-bank surplus deposits in their total deposits.

The CDR of the private commercial banks was 82.92 percent and they included Tk 2,992 crore in the inter-bank deposits, while that of foreign commercial banks was 76.96 percent and they added only Tk 32 crore in the inter-bank deposits.

Of the 30 private commercial banks, only nine included inter-bank deposits of over Tk 100 crore in their CDR.

Analysts held the banks' excessive investment in the stockmarket as one of the causes, which pushed share prices to an unsustainable high. The central bank had since the first half of 2009 warned banks against parking excessive money in stocks.

Some officials of the Securities and Exchange Commission, stockmarket leaders and influential businessmen piled pressure on the BB to let the banks pour money into the stockmarket.

A total of 47 banks made operating profits of Tk 16,486 crore in 2010, with Tk 2,504 crore coming from the stockmarket, according to the central bank statistics.

The BB discourages the banks from any risky investment in an effort to cut credit growth, the high official of the central bank told The Daily Star yesterday.

As part of its overall monetary policy, the central bank takes steps to bring down credit growth to control soaring inflation, the official said.

Big operators to pay high spectrum fees
3G licences will be given through auction

The government yesterday finalised the process of how it will charge four mobile operators -- Grameen-phone, Banglalink, Robi and Citycell -- for renewing their licences for the next 15 years.

A high-profile meeting presided over by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina decided that the operators will pay at the rate of Tk 150 crore for per megahertz of airwave, which will be multiplied by the total allocated spectrum and a 'market competition factor'.

The meeting held at the Prime Minister's Office also decided to give 3G (third generation) technology licences through auction.

However, Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission and the telecom ministry will calculate and disclose the spectrum allocation charges for the operators by August 15.

Telecom Secretary Sunil Kanti Bose said the operators will have to pay Tk 150 crore for per megahertz of spectrum and the amount will be finalised on the basis of their market share.

Now an operator with a big subscriber base will pay higher than a low-subscriber operator, he said.

“Otherwise some of the operators will be affected and won't survive.”

Now Grameenphone will have to pay higher than its nearest peers; Banglalink and Robi will be in the middle, while Citycell will pay less, on the basis of the calculation -- Tk 150 crore/ per megahertz of spectrum multiplied by the total amount of spectrum and the market competition factor.

The rate for all bands of spectrum -- including GSM 1800 Mhz, 900 Mhz and CDMA 800 Mhz -- will be the same: Tk 150 crore.

Last year the BTRC proposed a 'utilisation factor' (UF) to determine the spectrum assignment fees of the operators. As the UF causes different rates for different operators, a high-profile meeting on July 10 suggested abolishing the UF.

However, this time the UF comes as the 'market competition factor', according to telecom ministry officials.

The meeting also supported the BTRC proposal of 5.5 percent revenue sharing for the mobile operators, instead of 5 percent proposed by the ministry.

However, now the operators will pay 1 percent of their revenue to Social Obligation Fund, a new idea to help implement the government's vision for a 'digital Bangladesh'.

The meeting also decided that the licence renewal process has to be complete by November 10 this year, and the upfront spectrum charges have to be paid in four instalments within two years.

The meeting suggested opening voice over internet protocol (VoIP) for all who are interested.
