For starting

 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.

For this government should come with crash programs which must be implemented promptly with courage and passion. Otherwise all the programs and efforts will 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.

Professionalizing the banking business will generate large long term payoffs in the form of a more efficient banking system apart from functional and technology related training required at Bangladesh band and the commercial bands consideration should be given to starting a master of bank management program at bibm. The government should take steps to increase the ability of capital markets to efficiently provide long term funds through debt and equity financing.
