A
healthy financial sector is crucial for economic growth especially for
economies like Bangladesh. Because growth in Bangladesh must come largely from
exports and its enterprises must therefore be internationally competitive. But
unfortunately Bangladesh has a financial system which borrowers fail to repay
loans foreclosure is almost unheard of and the government and receives periodic
capital transfusions to keep themselves going. Thus commercial banks are at the
heart of the problem in Bangladesh financial sector. The problems in the
financial sector in Bangladesh are many. Specific mention of these problems is
a difficult job. However the crucial problem of our financial sector may be
identified as under. Small domestic private banks are hardly better off. They
offer no serious competition to nationalized banks. Better examination is
revealing imprudent insider lending and capital shortfalls in several
instances. Estimates based on unaided financial statements suggest that at the
end of 1994 the private banks needed more than 13 billion just to meet current
regulations on capital adequacy. Inadequate prudential regulation and weak
suppression is a recipe for banking problems. Poor enforcement capacity robs
weak suppression of what little effect it might have. Both provisioning and
capital adequacy requirements have been well below international standards.
Poor prudential regulation and suppression are made all the worse by an
inadequate legal framework for loan recovery foreclosure and liquidation.
Bangladesh lacks such a framework. Banks are mot the problem in the financial
sector of Bangladesh. Capital markets are small and do not offer a competitive
alternative to band borrowing. Stock market capitalization relative to gdp is
some 25 to 75 times smaller than in neighboring south Asian countries.

Bangladesh is non functioning well and it needs lot of reforms and reappraisals.

go to astray.
Risk involvement in a share: This is a very important factor
you believe in risk when you want to invest in the share market. There is no
guarantee of what percentage of capital gain you can get, where and when the
share price stops in up end or low end and how long it takes to get the
profits. It is true no company or institute can guarantee. However you can
measure the risk in various ways. That's why it is essential to do some home
work on a company before you invest. The home work should be calculating earnings
per share, total debt, relative price strength, profits margins, volumes,
industry leader and so on. You can also reduce the risk by diversifying the
correlation between a share and a market index. A less risk taker has options
to invest in board or a company that provides dividends at the end of year. So we should also take care of this market.
