MANAGING DIRECTOR &
CEO’S REVIEW

Mirza Elias Uddin Ahmed


Managing Director & CEO

Dear Stakeholders,

Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim


Assalamu Alaikum Warahmatullah

The year 2022 was a year of uncertainty. The year witnessed a volatile and uneven economic recovery. Like other
countries around the world, Bangladesh is dealing with the impact of global shocks – first from the pandemic and then
from the ongoing war in Ukraine i.e. rising global commodity prices, supply chain disruptions, and slowdown in external
demand have led to high inflation, a sharp widening of the current account deficit, depreciation of the taka and the rapid
decline of foreign exchange reserves etc. The robust economic recovery of Bangladesh from the COVID-19 pandemic
was interrupted by Russia’s invasion in Ukraine. Despite the government and Bangladesh Bank implementing policy
measures, handling the situation was challenging for an import-dependent country like Bangladesh, as unprecedented
levels of inflation caused panic from the macro to the micro level.

Jamuna Bank in 2022: a comparative analysis of financial performance


Jamuna Bank has already made its mark in the country’s banking arena through world-class products and services,
consistent financial results, good governance, compliance, ethics, transparency and values-based banking. With the
talented and committed team empowered by technology, together we are determined to take Jamuna Bank to the next
level achieving exponential growth in market share, while continuing to progress the financial inclusion and values
based development for the economy of our country. Despite economic and geopolitical uncertainty, as well as a difficult
business environment, credit portfolio grew to BDT 180.49 billion with a growth of 3.24% against country growth of
12.89%. We move cautiously to increase of our loan portfolio during this crisis period. Deposit stood at BDT 225.07 billion
registering a growth of 6.14% against the country growth of 5.70%. Import, export and remittance stood at USD 2,074.79
million, USD 1,711.80 million and USD 465.35 million respectively. Jamuna Bank was much successful in maintaining
foreign exchange liquidity due to its higher amount of export and remittance which was sufficient to ensure its import
payment. Throughout the year, Jamuna Bank acted as contributor to foreign currency supply in the market and ensured
smooth import performance for our valued customers. The bank stands on a very solid foundation having strong assets
and capital base. Total assets of the bank increased to BDT 282.64 billion from BDT 264.32 billion with the growth of
6.93% over last year’s. Capital base of the bank is one of the highest in the industry. The capital adequacy ratio of the
bank stood at 16.75% against regulatory requirement of 12.50%. In 2022, total capital reached BDT 31.02 billion. Capital
base safeguards the bank from unforeseen credit, operational or market shock and supports business expansion.

Our operating profit increased by BDT 529.62 million or 10.22% from previous year. Net Interest Income increased by
15.07%, Investment income increased by 4.76% and non-interest income increased substantially by 43.71% for which
operating profit increased by 10.22% from previous year. We have followed Bangladesh Bank’s instruction meticulously
for maintaining provision and recognizing interest income. We have complied Bangladesh Bank’s requirement of 1%
additional special General provision-COVID 19 and extra 2% provision against clients enjoying Covid-19 facilities and
maintained additional provision based on the qualitative judgment of Bangladesh Bank for absorbing any unforeseen
shocks. Complying all these issues, our total provision increased by BDT 1,275.31 million or 110.41% over last year’s and
stood at BDT 2,430.39 million. After setting aside provision for loans and advances, tax, reserve and others, the bank
attained net profit of BDT 1,581.44 million which is lower than last year’s by 36.15%. Thus, Earnings per share (EPS) of
the Bank decreased to BDT 2.11 which was BDT 3.31 last year.

Annual Report 2022

Market Price Information-2022


Bangladesh’s capital market passed a gloomy year in 2022. During 
the year the prime index of the Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE),
DSEX witnessed a fall of 8% subsequent to a positive return of
25% in 2021. The yearly average turnover was 31% lower than that

  
of the previous year. Though the market started with a positive


trend with enthusiastic participation of the investors in early

  

2022, the enthusiasm started fading away after start of the Russia-


 

 


Ukraine war in February 2022. The repetitive downtrend in the

 
 
capital market helps the DSEX index fallen down tremendously to

 

 

 

 
 
5,980 points and then BSEC imposed floor price on July 28, 2022, to
protect the interest of general investors. Thereafter DSEX turned
up a trend with improved trade volume. Then again market
became shaky riding after gloomy earnings forecasts of the listed
companies influenced by the macroeconomic adversities which
cause majority stocks being stuck at the floor price. Around 80%
of listed stocks of DSE were trapped at floor price in December
2022 and trade volume was also lessened immensely. Jamuna
Bank scrips performed moderately in 2022 due to the challenging
capital market environment.

DuPont analysis
DuPont analysis is an approach that consists of a detailed examination of Return on Equity (ROE) of a company which
analyses Net Profit Margin, Asset Turnover, and Financial Leverage. DuPont Analysis gives a broader view of the Return
the company in earnings on its Equity. This analysis, in turn, helps management to take various strategic and operational
decisions.

GLOBAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK   
Global economic growth prospects are confronting several 
  
headwinds mainly due to the Russia-Ukraine war, multi-
 
decade record high inflation in many economies, interest
rate increases in most regions, and lingering Covid-19    
effects in some parts of the world, particularly in China.
According to World Bank’s Global Prospect Report (January Source: IMF World Economic Outlook (April 2023)

Jamuna Bank Limited 93


Global Inflation  
 
Inflation rose throughout 2022 in almost all economies.
Median global headline inflation exceeded 9 percent in
the second half of the year, its highest level since 1995.
Inflation reached almost 10 percent in EMDEs, its highest

level since 2008, and in advanced economies just over 9
percent, the highest since 1982. Soaring inflation in 2022

reflected a combination of demand and supply factors.
On the demand side, the acceleration of growth during

the initial rebound from the 2020 global recession, as    

well as the lagged effects of earlier macroeconomic      
support, contributed to persistent price pressures. Price
increases were particularly large in sectors such as
    
shipping and air travel, where compositional shifts in ƒ  
demand encountered ongoing capacity constraints and 

supply chain disruptions. On the supply side, shortages



of key commodities, exacerbated by Russia’s invasion
of Ukraine, contributed substantially to higher energy 

and food prices. In some countries, tight conditions and 


mismatches in labor markets further added to rising
wages and higher input and production costs. Finally, 

many countries experienced large currency depreciations 

















that passed through into higher import, producer, and
consumer prices. The higher share of food in consumer   ­ ­   €‚€
spending has caused inflation to accelerate more in low-

income countries compared to other EMDEs. Inflation
  
has risen across a broad range of goods and services (Ball,  
Leigh, and Mishra 2022). Global core inflation has risen
markedly, reaching over 6 percent late last year, its highest
level since 1992. As a result, short-term (one-year-ahead)
inflation expectations have risen in most economies. In
contrast, long-term (five year-ahead) inflation expectations
have been relatively more stable, edging up by only about
0.15 percentage point in both advanced economies and
EMDEs since the onset of the pandemic. This stability
 

 
may reflect the credibility of the commitment of most






central banks to confront inflation, reinforced by recent


policy tightening. Inflationary pressures started to abate      

toward the end of 2022, reflecting weakening demand and

easing commodity prices. The share of countries where
inflation is accelerating is trending down. In the face of 
substantial monetary tightening, slowing activity, easing

supply chain disruptions, and moderating prices for
many non-energy commodities, both core and headline 
inflation are expected to decline over the forecast horizon.

In many countries, however, high core inflation has been
unexpectedly persistent, suggesting that global inflation 
will remain elevated for longer than previously envisaged.      
  

Global trade volume


Global trade growth decelerated in the second half of
2022, in tandem with deteriorating activity in major
economies. Weakening trade mirrored the slowdown in

global industrial production, as demand shifted toward its 


pre-pandemic composition and away from goods. Despite 
this moderation, goods trade surpassed pre-pandemic  
levels last year; meanwhile, services trade continued to 
recover, supported by the gradual shift in demand toward  
services. Tourism flows rebounded as many countries
eased travel restrictions but remained well below pre-
pandemic levels and uneven across regions (WTO 2022).
Although global supply chain pressures are still above
pre-pandemic levels, they have eased since mid-2022, as
reflected in lower transportation costs and normalization 
of inventories. Weakening demand for goods is expected
to reduce these pressures further in 2023. After softening   
to 4 percent in 2022, global trade growth is expected           
to decelerate further to 1.6 percent in 2023, largely 
reflecting weakening global demand. Trade is envisaged
to be particularly subdued in EMDEs with strong trade 
linkages to major economies where demand is expected
to slow sharply. In all, the current post-recession rebound 
in global trade is on course to be among the weakest on
record. Travel and tourism are expected to pick up further
but will be constrained by slower global activity and high
input costs. Goods trade is expected to moderate owing
    
to subdued demand and a gradual shift in consumption
toward services. Weaker-than-expected global demand

Outlook
 The outlook is uncertain again amid financial sector
 turmoil, high inflation, ongoing effects of Russia’s invasion
 of Ukraine, and three years of COVID. More than a year
after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the outbreak of

more contagious COVID-19 variants, many economies are
 still absorbing the shocks. The recent tightening in global
financial conditions is also hampering the recovery. As a
 result, many economies are likely to experience slower

growth in incomes in 2023, amid rising joblessness.
Moreover, even with central banks having driven up
 interest rates to reduce inflation, the road back to price
stability could be long.
 

 

 
 

 

 

 

 

 

As per the latest forecast made by IMF, global growth will


     
bottom out at 2.8 percent this year before rising modestly
to 3.0 percent in 2024. Global inflation will decrease,
    although more slowly than initially anticipated, from 8.7
 percent in 2022 to 7.0 percent this year and 4.9 percent in
 2024. The baseline forecast is for growth to fall from 3.4
percent in 2022 to 2.8 percent in 2023, before settling at

3.0 percent in 2024. Advanced economies are expected
to see an especially pronounced growth slowdown, from
2.7 percent in 2022 to 1.3 percent in 2023. In a plausible
 alternative scenario with further financial sector stress,
global growth declines to about 2.5 percent in 2023 with
advanced economy growth falling below 1 percent. Global
headline inflation in the baseline is set to fall from 8.7
percent in 2022 to 7.0 percent in 2023 on the back of lower
commodity prices but underlying (core) inflation is likely
     ­€ 
      
to decline more slowly.

Outlook 2023
The year 2023 will remain a turbulent time for the financial industry of Bangladesh. Inflation will torment the lower
and lower-middle income population, who will lose a big segment of their savings and also have less purchasing power.
Depletion of foreign- exchange reserves and shortage of dollars in banks have compelled the central bank to restrict
some imports. Exporters are facing some difficulties to open letters of credit. Inflow of remittance in the official channels
has ebbed. The high NPL ratio and the issue of good governance in banks and NBFIs are also matter of concern for the
financial stability of the economy. Besides, banking industry will also face the challenge of mobilising deposits – which
we have already witnessed in the latter part of 2022. To overcome these challenges, Bangladesh Bank has already taken a
series of policy initiatives, which include raising the policy interest rate amid quantitative tightening through the selling
of a huge amount of dollars in the market; continuing the repo and liquidity support facilities for banks and NBFIs, and
extending the refinance facilities to neutralize the tight liquidity condition; discouraging imports of luxury and non-
essential commodities; enhancing the facilities to improve the export receipts and inward remittances; and engaging
with concerned commercial banks and NBFIs to deal with NPLs and good governance issues.

Nevertheless, it’s a good news for us that IMF FX loan has already been approved and partial disbursement was also
made in the meantime

Financial Performance Highlights of Jamuna Bank


Banking industry passed another challenging year in terms of governance, capital adequacy, profitability and soundness
in 2022. Depletion of foreign exchange, rising inflation, increase of fuel expense and liquidity crisis took the toll over the
economy to a large extent. FX reserve stood USD 33.75 billion at year end which was USD 46.15 billion last year, declined
by 27% within a year. Inflation reached 8.71% in December 2022 and private sector credit growth stood at 12.89% in 2022
against 10.11% last year. Despite intensified challenges, Jamuna Bank managed its portfolio efficiently closing the year
2022 with an NPL of 5.32%. We have followed Bangladesh Bank’s instruction meticulously for maintaining provision
and recognizing interest income. We have complied Bangladesh Bank’s requirement of 1% additional special General
provision-COVID 19 and extra 2% provision against clients enjoying Covid-19 facilities and maintained additional
provision based on the qualitative judgment of Bangladesh Bank for absorbing any unforeseen shocks.

Complying all these issues, our total provision increased by BDT 1,275.31 million or 110.41% over last year’s and stood
BDT 2,430.39 million. After setting aside provision for loans and advances, tax, reserve and others, the bank attained
net profit of BDT 1,581.44 million which is lower than last year’s by 36.15%. Thus, Earnings per share (EPS) of the Bank
decreased to BDT 2.11 which was BDT 3.31 last year. Although our operating profit increased by BDT 529.62 million or
10.22% from previous year. As per Bangladesh Bank guideline, deposit rate had to adjust with this high inflation keeping
no change in interest rate cap of loans and advances which resulted in decrease of net interest income by 2%. Interest
spread decreased to 3.27% from 3.67% last year. On the other hand, non-interest income increased substantially by
17.43% for which operating profit increased by 10.22% from previous year. The Board of Directors recommend 17.50%
cash and 8.50% stock dividend for the year 2022

Deposit stood at BDT 225.07 billion registering a growth of 6.14% against the country growth of 5.70%. Advance increased
to BDT 180.49 billion with a growth of 3.24% against country growth of 12.89%. We move cautiously to increase of our loan
portfolio during this crisis period. Import, export and remittance stood at USD 2,074.79 million, USD 1,711.80 million
and USD 465.35 million respectively. Jamuna Bank was much successful in maintaining foreign exchange liquidity due
to its higher amount of export and remittance which was sufficient to ensure its import payment. Throughout the year,
Jamuna Bank acted as contributor to foreign currency supply in the market and ensured smooth import performance
for our valued customers. The bank is standing on a very solid foundation having strong assets and capital base. Total
assets of the bank increased to BDT 282.64 billion from BDT 264.32 billion with the growth of 7% over last year’s. Capital
base of the bank is one of the highest in the industry. The capital adequacy ratio of the bank stood at 16.75% against

MODERATE RISK
POLITICAL
The present political climate of Bangladesh has been remain stable in last past few years as there is no major political
strikes and blockades taking place. However, the biggest political threat comes from the international scene. The recent
Russia-Ukraine conflict has sent shocks through the entire global economic scene, causing disruption to supply chains,
causing the price of commodities such as grains and oil to rise drastically and ultimately it may increase the level
of inflation. In addition, global financial market faced massive disruptions and Bangladesh’s capital market was no
exception.

HIGH RISK
ECONOMIC
The year 2022 was primarily characterised by the terminal effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, coinciding with the arrival
of a major geopolitical challenge, the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Over the next few months, the conflict escalated into
a major global crisis as disruptions in supply chains in Russia and Ukraine, the world’s major natural gas and food grain
suppliers, forced a rapid escalation in commodity inflation and hampered government efforts to support economic
recovery in the aftermath of the three COVID waves.
Bangladesh’s economy was affected as a result of the subsequent spike in food grain and gasoline prices, causing public
resentment that the government attempted to address via legislative action. Public unrest has given rise to issues around
political stability too, especially in the context of the general elections expected next year (2024). Given the country’s
diminishing foreign exchange reserves and balance-of-payment crisis, the government and central bank (Bangladesh
Bank), attempted to quell the challenges by formulating a more conducive environment via allowing some national
banks to establish Vostro accounts for settling payments in local currency. The idea was to internationalise the BDT and
make it acceptable for meeting trade payment obligations, thus preserving foreign currency.
Furthermore, in a major success for the Bangladesh government, it was successful in acquiring a support package from
the IMF (International Monetary Fund), which included a 42-month arrangement of approximately $3.2 billion under
the Extended Credit Facility (ECF) and the Extended Fund Facility (EFF), as well as approximately $1.3 billion under the
Resilience and Sustainability Facility (RSF), thus totalling up to $4.5 billion. Bangladesh’s new IMF led fund-supported
program aims to sustain macro-economic and macro-financial stability, as well as to encourage robust, inclusive, and
green development while safeguarding disadvantaged parts of the society. Especially, the RSF will offer low-cost, long-
term financing to meet the nation’s climate investment requirements, stimulate climate finance, and alleviate balance-
of-payment concerns associated with import-intensive investment.
It is to be noted that the government was proactive in seeking international developmental finance support for post-
COVID economic stability and recovery. This is in contrast to some of the other neighboring nations that were not able
to mobilise sufficient financial support on a timely basis which led to an economic crisis that rapidly morphed into a
political predicament.

MODERATE RISK
SOCIAL
Bangladesh has a strong track record of growth and development, even in times of elevate global uncertainty. A
robust demographic dividend, strong ready-made garment (RMG) exports, resilient remittance inflows, and stable
macroeconomic conditions have supported rapid economic growth over the past two decades. Bangladesh has achieved
rapid improvements on may social development indicators including infant and child mortality rates and educational
gender disparity. A strong recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic continued in FY22, although a recent surge in
commodity prices due to Russian invasion of Ukraine has presented new headwinds.

Bangladesh is also a remarkable story of poverty reduction and development. From being one of the poorest nations
at birth in 1971, Bangladesh reached lower-middle income status in 2015. It is on track to graduate from the UN’s Least
Developed Countries (LDC) list in 2026. Poverty declined from 43.5 percent in 1991 to 14.3 percent in 2016, based on
the international poverty line of $1.90 a day (using 2011 Purchasing Power Parity exchange rate). Moreover, human
development outcomes improved along many dimensions.

MODERATE RISK
TECHNOLOGICAL
Automation in businesses has become a crucial standard to ensure growth and development with quadrupling of the
country’s GDP per capita and improvement of service delivery facilitated greatly by digital adoption in all departments
of government and almost every sphere of the society. Automation in air, sea and land ports management, revenue
collections (Customs, VAT and Income tax), land registration, BRTA, health and medical services, traffic system and its
management in all essential service providing agencies are becoming an imperative component to sustain and continue
economic growth.

This technological adoption is also palpable in the country’s financial sector. The Banking sector is considering a new
wave of technological innovation, digital banking, in ways that could lead to a deeper level of financial inclusion, moving
towards a cashless society and thereby economic activities would be augmented. Country-wide spread mobile network,
availability of electricity, new financial technologies, transformative business models, and the Government’s eagerness
to digitize G2P payments act as the catalyst to enable better access to financial services. The same infrastructure has
encouraged Bangladesh Bank to introduce end-to-end electronic processing of banking activities or transactions, known
as “digital banking.” It will accommodate different segments of the population so that the unbanked will be banked, the
banked will get faster access to finance at low cost, and customers will receive better access to finance.

Annual Report 2022

MODERATE RISK
ENVIRONMENTAL
Bangladesh is recognized worldwide as one of the most vulnerable countries to the impacts of global warming and
climate change. This is due to its unique geographic location, dominance of floodplains, low elevation from the sea,
high population density, high levels of poverty, and overwhelming dependence on nature, its resources and services.
The country has a history of extreme climatic events claiming millions of lives and destroying past development gains.
Variability in rainfall pattern, combined with increased snow melt from the Himalayas, and temperature extremes are
resulting in crop damage and failure, preventing farmers and those dependent from meaningful earning opportunities.
In a changing climate the pattern of impacts are eroding our assets, investment and future. This stands for families,
communities and the state. Global warming and climate change threatens settlements and the number of people
displaced from their land due to riverbank erosion, permanent inundation and sea level rise which are increasing rapidly
every year. Resources and efforts of government and people are quickly drained addressing the impact of one event when
another hazard strikes. Impacts of global warming and climate change have the potential to challenge our development
efforts, human security and the future.

Comparative Analysis of Financial
Performance

On the way to recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic depressions, Bangladesh economy during 2022 faced even more
challenges due to the Russia-Ukraine war, which sparked massive inflation resulted price hike in energy, food and all
other costs, currency depreciation against US dollar and a tightening money market. Followed by same, the banking
sector in Bangladesh also encountered challenging economic environment with ongoing uncertainty and volatility in
the global & local market. Besides, significant regulatory changes and increasing competition, there is more pressure on
banking business & profitability growth.

During 2022, Bangladesh Bank set the LC margin to discourage the luxury item & non-essential products import with the
aim to offset rising import costs and release the pressure on forex reserves. Besides, BB introduced uniform dollar-taka
exchange rate for international trade to curb currency volatility. Also, refinancing schemes, stimulus packages and loan
moratorium facilities were continued in different sectors to support businesses from the adverse economic shocks due
to COVID-19 and Russia-Ukraine war. Furthermore, central bank adopted many other cautious and prudent measures to
ensure overall macroeconomic stability in the country.

Despite many challenges, our bank has remained resilient and has continued to grow and deliver solid financial results.
We remained steadfast in providing financial support and solutions to our customer for ensuring that they could able
to tackle ongoing uncertainty and volatility in the global & local market and its resulting impact. In doing so, we also
continued to prioritise capital and liquidity in order to keep funding accessible to customers, while ensuring sufficient
provision buffers to address potential asset quality issues. We have followed Bangladesh Bank’s instruction meticulously
for maintaining provision and recognizing interest income. We have complied Bangladesh Bank’s requirement of 1%
additional special General provision-COVID 19 and extra 2% provision against clients enjoying Covid-19 facilities and
maintained additional provision based on the qualitative judgment of Bangladesh Bank for absorbing any unforeseen
shocks.

Thus, with our prudent stance, we managed to deliver a resilient performance in 2022.

For any business, ensuring sustainable growth and achieving targeted profit is the ultimate objective. Like the previous
year, we had to manage our profitability in 2022 from treasury business since banks core business i.e. deposit and
advance growth was pretty lower. Moreover, treasury business gave us mileage to exceed our yearly profit target.

Loans and Advances/Investments


Change in the economy’s behavior due to shift in demand supply arising from the after effects of Covid-19, war-struck
international trade restrictions, global price escalation & suppressed interest rates have been some of the many
challenges faced by the banking industry in 2022. This gap in demand and supply has impeded national economic
growth to some extent and profitability of businesses. Government has continued various supportive policies to make
the economy vibrant.

Jamuna Bank has always prioritized preservation and improvement of asset quality. Jamuna Bank was in regular efforts
to explore different areas of credit operation and could maintain the credit portfolios of BDT 180,490.79 million in 2022
while it was BDT 174,824.78 million in 2021. It is a depiction that we value asset quality over quantity. It has become
possible through capitalization of- i)Cross Selling Propositions, ii)Efficient NPL Management, iii)Careful On Boarding of
New Borrower, iv)Far-sighted Treasury Management, v)Portfolio Diversification, vi)Realization of Invested Funds and
Cautious Monitoring.

Since the start of Covid-19 followed by single digit loan interest rate regime, Jamuna Bank was very much cautious in
maintaining its health of the balance sheet. During the last 2 years, bank’s strategy was to go slower in increasing balance
sheet size, rather preferred to focus on strengthening the quality of its loan portfolio. Moreover, the bank’s move was to
ensure return from treasury business, increase low costs deposits base, let go high cost long tenor based deposits, thus
save costs as loan demand was pretty low.



  

 


 
 


Our Corporate portfolio increased by increased 3.42%, SME portfolio reduced by 2.35%, Retail portfolio increased by
9.40%, Agricultural and Micro advances increased by 22.52% and OBU, Credit Card & Others portfolio increased by
1.52%. Total loans and advances have increased by 3.24%. In order to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements
for avoiding risk of exposure to single borrower, concentration on large loans, to bring in excellence in credit operation
in relation to risk management, yield, exposure, tenure, collaterals, security valuation etc. we move cautiously in the
year 2022.

Non-Performing Loan (NPL) Management


Maintenance of quality assets is one of our core business. In this regard, Corporate, SME, Retail, Agri Loan Unit and Law &
Recovery division at Jamuna Bank works in close collaboration with the branches to achieve the best results and outputs.
There are two main reasons why financial loans default: either wilful misconduct on behalf of the borrower or actual
customer factors such as business collapse, death, natural disasters, pandemics, etc. Law & Recovery Division (LRD) is
aggressive and relentless in its pursuit of willful defaulters and deliberate malfeasants, but it is sensitive and responsive
in addressing legitimate challenges as well. LRD brings delinquent accounts to the negotiation table, enhancing the
possibilities of settlement. As the Bank manages and deals with public fund, it cannot wait for an unlimited period of
time. In such a scenario, if the Bank’s earnest negotiation efforts fail to produce a favorable outcome, the Bank has no
alternative but to liquidate the mortgaged properties to repay the loan. Through the liquidation of collateral, LRD has
strived to resolve long-pending accounts in the last three years. As part of its NPL management role, LRD plays a pivotal
role in releasing classified/written-off funds to the bank, as well as releasing interest suspense and unpaid interest. LRD’s
persistent efforts over the years have enabled the bank to significantly lower its NPL ratio while also ensuring that any
recoveries from classified or written-off accounts considerably enhance the bank’s profits.

In the year 2022, NPL is increased compared to 


previous year. Some borrowers which availed
deferment facility allowed by Bangladesh
Bank due to Covid could not repay loan EMI/
overdue after the facility was withdrawn due


to loss in business and overall economic


slowdown. These loans were ultimately



classified on objective criteria. Besides, Bank


had to classify some other loans on objective
criteria as per Bangladesh Bank guidelines.
This resulted in rise in NPL ratio of the Bank
as on 31/12/22. Mentionable here that, bank
kept sufficient provision against these loans as
    
per BB circular. Management of the Bank has
taken specific strategy to recover/regularize
the loan accounts at the earliest.

Investment
In the year, investment book of the Bank increased by 13% YoY to BDT 76,394.59 million in 2022 from BDT 67,674.40
million in 2021. The net increase in investment portfolio mainly came off from investment in government securities
which amounted to BDT 62,383.96 million and increased by 34.08% YoY. Others investment also increased by 19.03%.

Capital Management
We ended the year 2022 with a strong capital base by maintaining Capital to Risk Weighted Ratio (CRAR) of 16.75%,
whereas according to BASEL III road map, minimum requirements are 12.50%. In order to strengthen the banking sector,
the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) released a global regulatory framework on the Basel-III capital
accord in December 2010 by updating global capital and liquidity rules. It should be noted that the implementation
of the Basel III capital accord began in January 2015 and already implemented since January 2020, according to the
Bangladesh bank’s roadmap. The agreement to implement minimum total capital plus Capital Conservation Buffer of
12.50 percent as opposed to the current 16.75 percent depicted as follows:

Exports & Imports


Trade is one of the most important economic balance-maker 
for a Bank to contribute in. During the year 2022, with its
export of Tk. 144,562.70 million, Jamuna Bank has upped its

game by 27.22% compared to the year before. Imports have
increased as well by 6.76% totaling Tk.175,200.80. Import 

growth in 2021 was rather 47.71%. In effect, imports have


decreased in terms of quantity. The reported 6.76% growth
stems from differences made by escalation of prices in the
international market, increased freight cost, exchange rate
fluctuation and so on. Enhancement of economic activities,

facilitation of business and financial support for corporate
client are significant roles Jamuna Bank has been playing
through its Corporate Banking activities.

Success stories of our SME Borrowers:


Success of our clients makes us to feel rewarded. Since inception of our SME Banking Division, we have created numerous
successful entrepreneurs through our support with required finance and guidelines. We are happy to share two of such
success stories which may motivate others too.

M/s. Safe Trading Corporation

M/s. Safe Trading Corporation is a proprietary concern of Mr. Md. Mostafa Kamal who is engaged in some ready to eat
indigenous food items like Coconut Naru, Nimki, Papor, Papri etc. These products are very common in Bangladesh but
the way he manufactures and distributes it to mass customer was really amazing. The client started this business with
his limited capital and day by day demand of his goods started to increase exponentially. Despite considerable market
demand, the client was struggling to grow due to scarcity of working capital. He approached to Jamuna Bank for working

capital loan. Jamuna Bank found prospect in his business and financed him as per requirement. The business started to
grow with market reputation and got huge popularity in market as well as medias.

Mr. Md. Mostafa Kamal, proprietor of M/s. Safe Trading Corporation achieved award under Best Micro Entrepreneur
category in National SME Entrepreneur Award – 2022, a prestigious award given by SME Foundation.

KAARUU

Kaaruu is a boutique house that manufactures fashionable three pieces, Sharee, Panjabi etc. Mrs. Jannatul Ferdous is
the entrepreneur of this concern. From childhood, Jannatul had interest on fashion design and she used to design her
own dress which was appreciated by others. In the year 2008, while she was a student of Post Graduation, she started to
design three pieces and sharees at very limited scale as hobby and sell them through online platform. She got positive
response from target market and peer group people. After completion of Post Graduation she started a job but didn’t stop
designing fashion wears. In the year 2013, she established her own factory with limited fund collected from friends and
family members. In that stage, she faced tremendous challenges to survive as revenue was very limited in consideration
of expenditure to maintain factory and procure raw materials. She had to close the factory in the year 2016 due to scarcity
of working capital. One year later she managed some fund and started her factory again. Few days later, she left her job
to concentrate fully on business. This time she moved to many Banks/FIs for working capital loan but couldn’t manage
as she had no collateral to offer against loan. Eventually she came to Jamuna Bank in 2018 for working capital loan.
Jamuna Bank visited her project and approved working capital loan to her business concern. She got relief and wheel of
production of her factory started to move. Now she is a successful entrepreneur with a factory in Dhaka, a showroom in
Sylhet and numerous customer base in online platform.

She is a happy customer of Jamuna Bank and cordially admits support of Jamuna Bank against her success.

We are proud to be financing partner of such innovative business enterprises.

• Internal Credit Risk Rating (ICRR)


JBL takes credit risk assessment seriously and utilizes the Internal Credit Risk Rating System (ICRRS) as a key tool in
its credit risk management framework. The ICRRS is designed to provide a comprehensive and objective evaluation
of a borrower’s repayment ability, taking into account various financial indicators, market conditions, and other
relevant factors.

The ICRRS enables JBL to make informed credit decisions, facilitate portfolio management, and maintain a high-
quality credit portfolio. By using this system, JBL is able to assess the credit risk of individual borrowers and ensure
that it is making sound lending decisions that align with its risk appetite and overall strategic goals.

In the year 2022, JBL’s CRM Division successfully assessed the credit risk of 1401 corporate customers, demonstrating
its commitment to responsible lending and prudent risk management. By utilizing the ICRRS, JBL is able to stay
ahead of the curve in credit risk assessment and position itself for continued success.

We have added some services and innovations to provide faster service to the customers
as below

Green PIN:
GREEN PIN is a paperless PIN generation solution that enables Jamuna Bank Debit & Credit Cardholders to securely
generate their card PIN in electronic form through multiple delivery channels. Green PIN as the name suggests, helps
save paper thus contributing to earth’s environment as well as contributes to reduce the carbon foot print. Green PIN
initiative offers a hassle free mechanism to generate Debit/credit card PIN for existing as well as new Debit/credit card
customers. Customers can set their PIN for new debit / credit cards instantly after receiving the debit card or make use
of this functionality in case they forget their existing Debit-cum-ATM/ Credit Card PIN. Customers can easily use this
service without visiting the branch/ contact the customer care and wait for the PIN mailer.

Credit Transaction E-alert:


We have introduced transaction email alerts for our credit card customers. When a customer makes a transaction via
credit card, a transactional alert is sent to the email provided by the customer. Transactional emails are generated when
a financial transaction takes place. It provides a paper trail for audit purposes and also acts as a record for transactions.
Financial transactional emails help in detecting fraud and record-keeping purposes. Email alerts are very important and
useful when the customer is out of the country/cross-border transactions.

Online credit card proposal data entry from branch:


We have introduced online credit card proposal data entry system to provide quick service to customers. Through which
a customer submits a credit card application at any branch, data entry is done through this system very quickly. And
within a short time the proposal reached the head office for card issuance.

Credit card Proposal tracking system:

this tracking system, the branch can see the latest status/ each stage of its sent credit card proposals at any time.

Operating Environment in 2022:


Bangladesh capital market passed a gloomy year in 2022. During the year the prime index of Dhaka Stock Exchange
(DSE), DSEX witnessed a fall by 8% subsequent to a positive return of 25% in 2021. The yearly average turnover was 31%
lower than the previous year. Though the market started with a positive trend with enthusiastic participation of the
investors in the early 2022, the enthusiasm started faded away after the beginning of Russia-Ukraine war in February.
Repetitive downtrend in the capital market helped the DSEX index to fall tremendously to 5,980 points and then BSEC
imposed floor price on July 28, 2022 to protect the interest of general investors. Thereafter the DSEX turned up trend

with improved trade volume. Then again the market became shaky upon BSEC’s restriction on stocks purchase before
cheque encashment, gloomy earnings forecasts of the listed companies influenced by the macroeconomic adversities
which causes majority stocks being stuck at the floor price. Around 80% listed stocks of DSE were trapped at floor price
in December 2022 and trade volume was also lessened immensely.

Market Outlook & Strategy for 2023


The capital market of Bangladesh is passing through a hard time amid lack of confidence amongst the investors, crisis
to the floor price, macro-economic indicators, high inflation and crisis in the financial sector. The market continued
to exhibit sluggish trend against the backdrop of global and domestic economic slowdown amid Russia-Ukraine war.
Rising inflation and energy prices and depreciation of taka against dollar limit the growth of businesses, eroding returns
from investments in the stocks. As the market is in the downtrend since late February 2022 amid global slowdown of the
economic activities, we assume the tumble in the market might linger in 2023. However, to cope up with the turmoil,
JBCML will be moderate in 2023 and will take the following strategies:
• Expected to launch Bank’s discretionary portfolio management service in 2023. Portfolio Manager will act on
behalf of the investors and will be authorized to exercise his discretion to make best professional investment. Here,
specialized investment services shall be provided to the clients aiming to generate return by minimizing the risk.
• Focus would be given to increase income from corporate advisory, issue management and underwriting services.

Capital Market Operating Environment in 2022:

Jamuna Bank Limited 345


Bangladesh’s stock market had a lackluster year in 2022 after posting double-digit returns for the previous two years.
Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSEX), the broad market index of the country, fell 8.1 per cent in 2022, while daily average
turnover fell by 35 per cent. If the “Floor Price” had not been enforced by the regulator during the second half of 2022, the
index’s decrease and the decline in daily average turnover could have been worse. In 2022, Foreign Portfolio Investors’
(FPI) involvement in Bangladesh’s stock market continued to decline. Foreign Investors’ participation in trading at the
premier bourse came down to a 10-year low in the calendar year. While dynamics of global fund flow and domestic
economic condition have been pointed out to be the reason for fund withdrawal by FPIs in 2022, the long-term trend of
net selling warrants further introspection.

Market Outlook for 2023:


Bangladesh is expected to face a uniquely challenging year in 2023 compounded both by internal issues and external
events such as the Russia-Ukraine war and its lasting effects which are beyond our control. Forex reserve situation and
ballooning crisis in the banking sector are the primary concerns for most institutional investors. Besides, Bangladesh
Bank in its monetary policy for the period January-June 2023 relaxed the lending rate cap for consumer loans, allowing

346
Annual Report 2022

banks & financial institutions to hike it up to 3 percentage points from the level of 9 percent. It would lead to upsurge in
interest rates of deposits. Then the increased deposit rates might incentivized some investors to pullout money from the
capital market and invest rather in fixed income instruments which may create a negative impact in trading volume of
the capital market. Corporate profitability may also hit due to expected rise in cost of imported raw materials and cost
of financing. FPIs as well as domestic institutional investors are likely to take a wait and see approach as the economy
transpires as these twin factors unfold. Measures taken by regulatory bodies and the government will largely determine
whether and how long the investors will remain on the sideline.

In the long run, the economy is expected to grow considerably. As a result, we are expecting a vibrant capital market in
near future which is likely to bring more prospects for both local and foreign investors. Hence, we will act consequently
for the needed adjustment.

Strategy for 2023


• The main target of JBSL for the year 2023 to increase the number of BO accounts for the company as well as increase
clients’ funds. Targeted Individuals and Institutions should be approached frequently so that they become clients of
JBSL. Thus generate more commission income by increasing trade volume.
• Providing the clients research based investment support during buy and sell of securities so that they can make
profit. This would make them interested to do more trade resulting more revenue for JBSL;
• Attention would be given to increase Margin Loan to the potential clients to generate more interest income;
• And attention would be given to increase trade volume of Dealer account for making profit for JBSL.

All the expectations and projections depend on the future economic situation of the country. Capital market is a part of
the whole economy. The Government policies, role of regulators and stakeholders would determine the real picture of
the future capital market.

Increasing number of clients: At least 25% growth of existing client base


Branches in different region of Bangladesh: Opening new branches/digital booths /extension office in different location
or region of Bangladesh

New technology: To ensure smooth operation and constant usage, order transmission and other customer service
we are planning to introduce online trading facility. Incorporating easy tools, analysis, charts, stock screeners, news,
financial reports, technical expertise to ensure customers are well informed to take advantage of the said platform. We
are in pursuit of acquiring own OMS (Order Management System) for better trade execution.

Most experienced working force: JBSL has a reputation to recruit the most experienced personal to do its job done.
Dealing with enormous no of clients and also dealing with DSE, CSE and CDBL need dedication and skills. JBSL is
maintaining its excellence on its work that’s why it is one of the top brokerage houses in Bangladesh. We will continue to
provide training to officials to enhance their efficiency.

Simple margin loan facility: Maintaining all rules & regulations we will continue to offer margin loan facilities to the
investors with attractive rates.

Enhancing commission based income: We will offer reduce commission rates for large investors to enhance
commission based income.

continued adequacy of all our financial resources. Our risk management processes have continued to prove effective
throughout 2022. The management of the bank closely involved in important risk management initiatives, like preserving
appropriate levels of liquidity and capital and monitoring effectiveness of managing the risk portfolios. Responsibility
and accountability for risk management resides at all levels within the bank.

2. Risk Management Framework:


A risk management framework is a set of components that provide the foundations and organizational arrangements
for designing, implementing, monitoring, reviewing and continually improving risk management throughout the
organization. Jamuna Bank Limited has developed the framework which follows the functional hierarchy to govern
and establish controlled environment. The framework is multidimensional and considered as an integral part of the
organizational structure. The framework allows to build a strong risk culture from the strategic level to operational
level. The Bank’s Risk Management Framework provides its Board and Management with tools to anticipate and manage
both the existing and potential risks considering changing risk profiles as dictated by changes in business strategies, the
external environment and/or the regulatory environment.

2.1 Risk Governance:


Risk governance refers to the structure, rules, processes and mechanisms by which decisions about risks are taken
and implemented. A strong governance structure is important to ensure effective and consistent implementation of
the Bank’s Risk Management Framework. The Board is ultimately responsible for the Bank’s strategic direction which
is supported by the risk appetite and relevant risk management frameworks, policies and procedures. The Board is
assisted by different risk committees and control functions in ensuring that the Bank’s Risk Management Framework
is effectively maintained. Effective risk governance instigates a full-fledged risk management structure that stresses
eliminating risk and managing risk decisively. It also engenders accountability, transparency, and coordination while
establishing policies, processes, and systems to implement risk-related decisions. Jamuna Bank’s risk governance
framework is underlined by three lines of defense as described in the guidelines on “Corporate Governance Principles
for Banks” by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision as well as Bangladesh Bank’ guidelines for Risk Management.
The defense lines comprise the 1st Line of Defense, which incorporates relevant business lines and operational units,
the 2nd Line of defense, which contains independent risk management and control functions, the 3rd Line of defense,
which includes internal audit functions.

Defense

2.2 Risk Culture:


Risk culture in a bank refers to the attitudes, values, beliefs, and behaviors of employees and management regarding risk
management. It encompasses the collective mindset of the organization towards risk, including how risks are identified,
assessed, monitored, controlled, and communicated. A strong risk culture is essential for a bank to effectively manage
risks and avoid financial losses. It involves creating an environment where everyone in the organization understands
the importance of risk management, is aware of the risks associated with their job function, and is accountable for
managing those risks. By embedding a strong risk culture throughout the organization, a bank can create a culture of
accountability, transparency, and trust that helps to mitigate risks and protect the interests of all stakeholders.

Jamuna Bank develops its risk culture through policies, examples, communication, and training of staff regarding their
responsibilities for risk. Every member of the bank are fully aware of his or her responsibility regarding risks that he/she
faces and how they are managed, considering risk tolerance and appetite. Jamuna Bank has strengthen its risk culture
through
a) Ensuring an open and respectful atmosphere in which employees feel encouraged to speak up when observing new
or excessive risks;
b) Clarifying the range of acceptable risks using an embedded risk appetite statement and various forms of
communication;
c) Ensuring effective and participative training session for all level of employees; and,
d) Aligning incentives with objectives and clarifying how breaches in policies/procedures will be addressed.

2.3 Risk Management Structure:


The success of risk management will depend on the effectiveness of the risk management structure. The structure
should be comprehensive enough to capture all the material risks to which the bank is exposed. Risk Management
procedures are approved, monitored and mitigated at different stages of the bank with a combination of the Board and
its Committee, Management Level Committee and Risk Management Division.

5. Risk Profile of JBL and Analysis of Risks by using Likelihood Scale


Risk Profile is the amount or type of risk a bank is exposed to. Forward Risk Profile is a forward looking view of how
the risk profile may change both under expected and stressed economics conditions. The risk management process is
commensurate with the risk profile. As a part of regulatory and global benchmarking, the Bank has developed its own
risk profile based upon six (6) core risks guidelines of Bangladesh Bank and Basel framework.

Development of risk profile assists in determining which risks have a greater consequence or impact than others. Thus
analyzing the likelihood and consequences of each identified risk and deciding which risk factors will potentially have
the greatest effect and should, therefore, receive priority with regard to how they will be managed. The level of risk is
analyzed by combining estimates of likelihood (table 1) and consequences (table 2),

Table 1 - Likelihood Scale


Rating LIKELIHOOD (The potential for problems to occur in a year)

5 ALMOST CERTAIN: will probably occur, could occur several times per year

4 LIKELY: high probability, likely to arise once per year

3 POSSIBLE: reasonable likelihood that it may arise over a five-year period

2 UNLIKELY: plausible, could occur over a five to ten year period

1 RARE: very unlikely but not impossible, unlikely over a ten year period

Table 2 – Loss or Damage Impact Scale


Rating POTENTIAL IMPACT (In terms of the objectives of the Bank)

5 CATASTROPHIC: most objectives may not be achieved, or several severely affected

4 MAJOR: most objectives threatened, or one severely affected

3 MODERATE: some objectives affected, considerable effort to rectify requires medical attention and has some
impact on overall health of the bank and also may impact on the economy the bank is operating in

2 MINOR: easily remedied, with some effort the objectives can be achieved

1 NEGLIGIBLE: very small impact, rectified by normal processes

Jamuna Bank Limited critically analyze the major and plausible risk issues faced throughout the year and based on that

6. RISK MITIGATION METHODOLOGY


The success of banking operation largely depends on choosing the best equation between risk and return. This implies
that by nature the banking operation is subject to various risks. Risk Mitigation is the process by which an organization
introduces specific measures to minimize or eliminate unacceptable risks associated with its operations. Risk mitigation
measures can be directed towards reducing the severity of risk consequences, reducing the probability of the risk
materializing, or reducing the organizations exposure to the risk. The risk mitigation step involves development of
mitigation plans designed to manage, eliminate, or reduce risk to an acceptable level. Once a plan is implemented, it is
continually monitored to assess its efficacy with the intent of revising the course-of-action if needed.

The Bank has adopted a Sound Risk Mitigation Approach to ensure risk exposures within the Bank. Risks of the Bank
are mitigated consistently in line with the Board-approved risk appetite that supports the Bank’s strategy. The RMA sets
standardized practices to promote accountability and necessary oversight for the effective management of all these risk
types. As a part of regulatory and global benchmarking, the Bank has developed risk mitigation tactics based upon six
(6) core risks guidelines of Bangladesh Bank and Basel framework. The acknowledged risks which the Bank are currently
mitigating or intends to mitigate in the future are represented in the below diagram:

6.1 Credit Risk:


Credit risk arises from the potential that a bank’s borrower will fail to meet its obligations in accordance with agreed
terms, resulting in a negative effect on the profitability and capital of the bank. Credit risk may arise from on balance
sheet claims such as loan and overdrafts as well as off balance sheet commitments such as guarantee, acceptance, letter
of credit etc. Bank uses different strategies such as collateral and guarantees etc. to mitigate credit risks. The existence
of credit risk mitigation is no substitute for proper loan underwriting and loan administration.

JBL has established a robust credit risk management system to proactively manage loan portfolio in order to minimize
losses. It has significantly improved risk management culture and established standard for segregation of duties and
responsibilities relating to Credit Operation of the Bank.

6.1.1 Approach to measure Credit Risk:


Internal Credit Risk Rating System (ICRRS) is an important tool for credit risk measurement as it helps banks to
understand various dimensions of risk involved in different credit transactions. The aggregation of such rating across
the borrowers, activities and the lines of business can provide better assessment of the quality of credit portfolio of a
bank or a branch. Well managed credit risk rating systems promote bank safety and soundness by facilitating informed
decision-making.

Following risk areas are addressed and assessed in credit sanctioning process:

Borrower Analysis: Reputation, education, experience, age and success history and net worth of the borrower are
considered to analyze a borrower. Any issues regarding lack of management depth, complicated ownership structures or
inter-group transactions are addressed in borrower analysis.

Industry Analysis: To analyze an industry JBL considers industry position i.e. threat & prospect in the industry, risk
factors pertaining to the industry, borrowers position or share in the industry.

Historical financial analysis: An analysis of a minimum of 3 years historical financial statements of the borrower is
being presented. The analysis addresses the quality and sustainability of earning, cash flow and the strength of the
borrower’s balance sheet.

Projected financial Performance: Where term facilities are being proposed, a projection of the borrower’s future
financial performance is required to be provided.
Technical feasibilities / Infrastructural facilities, Seasonality of demand, Debt-Equity Ratio, Account conduct of the
borrower, Security and other relevant factors are considered to assess credit risks.

362
Annual Report 2022

6.1.2 Mitigation measures of Credit risk:


• Ensure compliance with Credit Policy Guidelines and related strategies of the bank before approving any Credit
facility.
• Credit Marketing/Relationship, Credit Approval and Credit Administration activities have been separated.
• Analyze borrower’s repayment capacity through review of financial statements, key financial indicators/ratios.
• Internal Credit Risk Rating is being done in line with the Bangladesh Bank guidelines.
• Credit facilities are allowed after consideration of absolute due diligence.
• Ensure approved credit facilities are structured and designed appropriately in line with the needs of the customer
or applicant and their repayment capacity.
• Inherent risks in Credit proposal are being identified and mitigation steps are taken.
• Ensure a prudent level of credit portfolio diversification as per risk appetite of the Bank.
• Collateral is properly valued and verified by concerned officer in periodically basis.
• Credit delegations are specified for new/fresh limit, renewal or enhancement of limit, consumer/ retail loan,
personal loan etc.
• Adequate provision against Credit has been maintained.
• Adequate capital has been maintained for Credit risk under Basel III framework.

6.1.3 Monitoring Mechanism to Mitigate Credit risk:


• Monthly monitoring of sector and industry wise approved limit
• Ensure regular factory and business visit of the clients
• Review of financials in regular interval
• Review of industry report
• Early Alert Reporting Process
• Periodic Review of marginal clients
• Fresh valuation when the old one was done more than 3 years ago
• Collateral visit and documentation rechecking at the time of refinancing
• Analysis of overdue, NPL%, Provision coverage, recovery periodically.

6.2 Market Risk:
Market risk is defined as the risk of losses in on and off-balance sheet positions arising from movements in market rates
or prices such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices and commodity prices.

• Foreign Exchange Risk: Foreign exchange risk refers to the losses that an international financial transaction may
incur due to currency fluctuations. Also known as currency risk, FX risk and exchange-rate risk, it describes the
possibility that an investment’s value may decrease due to changes in the relative value of the involved currencies.
At Jamuna bank, treasury division is vested with dealing with risks associated with foreign exchange movements.

• Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate risk is the potential for investment losses that result from a change in interest rates.
If interest rates rise, for instance, the value of a bond or other fixed-income investment will decline.

• Equity Risk: Equity risk is defined as loses due to changes in market price of equity held by the Bank. To measure
and identify this risk, marks to market valuations of the equity instruments that are traded in secondary market are
made.

6.2.1 Mitigation Techniques of Market Risk:


• Limits- Foreign exchange dealing is done within the limits approved by the Board to the CEO or Head of Treasury.
Dealing limits are set according to the bank’s own requirements, market conditions, and the counterparty. The CEO
usually delegates the setting of limits to the Head of Treasury who, in turn, allocates limits to individual dealers.

• Stop-loss Limit- Every dealer is assigned a stop-loss limit to restrict intuition-driven trades. This is in line with the
organization’s portfolio and risk appetite. Limits are also set for individual deals and dealer portfolio positions. Stop-
loss limits to the Head of Business or CEO and the Head of Treasury are set by the Board and in turn, the Head of
Treasury allocates individual limits to the dealers.

• After-hours and Off-premises Dealings- Afterhours and off-premises dealings are strictly prohibited. The Head
of Treasury, with the approval of the Head of Business or CEO, might engage in after-hours and/or off-premises
dealings for taking or covering positions on a case-by-case basis.

• Valuation- The Treasury back-office evaluates all outstanding positions at current market rates (mark-to-market) to
determine their market value on a daily basis. The back-office also gathers market rates from independent sources,
i.e. other than the dealers of the same organization(s) to avoid any conflict of interest with reporting to the line
manager. This exercise provides information regarding the profitability or loss of outstanding contracts.

• Market trend of interest/profit rate is analyzed to make proper decision about interest/profit rate determination of
various deposits and credit/investment product of the bank which is monthly discussed in the ALCO meeting.

• Adequate capital is maintained against market risk under RBCA guideline of Bangladesh Bank.

• Scenario analysis for interest/profit rate risk is carried on through simple gap analysis and duration gap analysis.

• Risk appetite is outlined on different indicator of market risk.

6.2.2 Monitoring Mechanism of Market Risk:


• Conducting sensitivity analysis, Duration gap analysis periodically.
• Analyzing changes in net interest income
• Monitoring deviation from approved limit
• Tracking major changes in key economic indicators
• Staying updated about company performance
• Continuous monitoring of market development

6.3 Operational Risk:


Operational risk is the risk of loss due to errors, breaches, interruptions or damages—either intentional or accidental—
caused by people, internal processes, systems or external events. Compared with financial risk, operational risk is
more complex and more challenging to monitor, control and manage. Operational risk may arise from negligence and
dishonesty of the employees, lack of management supervision, inadequate operational control, lack of physical security,
poor technology, lack of automation, non-compliance of regularity requirements, internal and external fraud etc.

6.3.1 Mitigation Techniques of Operational Risk:


• Standard operating procedure is followed to conduct day to day activities of the bank. Bank has well articulated
operation manual, internal control and compliance manual, anti money laundering and terrorist financing manual,
accounting manual and ICT manual etc. to describe the standard operating procedure.
• Internal audit is conducted on different business and non-business on periodic basis.
• Adequate capital is maintained against operational risk under RBCA guideline of Bangladesh Bank.
• Risk appetite is outlined on different indicator of operation risk.
• External auditors regularly provide unbiased recommendations on the strengths or weaknesses of the bank’s
internal control system. They examine records and transactions and evaluate the accounting policy, disclosure
policy and methods of financial estimation. This allows the Board and the management to independently view
the bank’s overall control system. Along with the periodic Bangladesh Bank audit, other external auditors conduct
regular audits to ascertain control lapses within the system.

6.3.2 Monitoring Mechanism of Operational Risk:


• Top management reviews
• Reconciliations of key accounts and balances
• Set independent verification procedures
• Internal audits
• External audits
• Pending document reporting & action planning
• Credit review meetings
• Network & system monitoring
• Context analysis as part of strategic planning process

6.4 Liquidity Risk:


Liquidity risk is the risk that a given security or asset cannot be traded quickly enough in the market to prevent a loss
(or make the required profit) or when a bank is unable to fulfill its commitments in time when payment falls due. Thus,
liquidity risk can be of two types:
a) Funding liquidity risk: the risk that bank will be unable to meet its current and future cash flow and collateral needs
without affecting its daily operations or its financial condition.
b) Market liquidity risk: the risk that bank cannot easily offset or sell a position without incurring a loss because of
inadequate depth in the market.

6.5 Internal Control and Compliance Risk:


Internal control and compliance is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the achievement of
objectives in the following categories:
• Effectiveness and efficiency of operations
• Reliability of financial reporting and
• Compliance with applicable laws, regulations and internal policies

A sound internal control function plays an important role in contributing to the effectiveness of the internal control
system.

6.5.1 Mitigation Techniques of Internal Control and Compliance Risk:


Jamuna Bank Limited has a robust organizational structure to enable the prudent management of Internal Control &
Compliance risk. It has also a structured Internal Control & Compliance Division (IC&CD) with three following distinct
units headed by a senior-level executive.

Jamuna Bank Limited 367


• Audit and Inspection Unit
• Compliance Unit
• Monitoring Unit

As per guidelines of Bangladesh Bank, the Board of Directors and Senior Management of our bank have taken several steps
for establishing appropriate culture to facilitate an effective internal control process and for monitoring its effectiveness
on an ongoing basis. Accordingly Senior Management Team (SMT) has reviewed the internal control mechanism of
the Bank, e.g Effectiveness of Internal Control Environment; Objective of Internal Control; Internal Control Policy
Guidelines; Organization Structure; and Internal Control Process of the Bank. The team also reviewed the key points of
Bangladesh Bank’s last Inspection Report on ICC along with the Bank’s Compliance thereof.

6.5.2 Monitoring Mechanism of Internal Control and Compliance Risk:


• Monitor internal control and compliance risk profiles on an on-going basis.
• Ensure that the scope and frequency of the audit plan/ program is appropriate to the risk exposures.
• Determine that senior management takes appropriate corrective actions when compliance failures are identified.
• Analyze the timeliness and accuracy of internal control and compliance risk reports to senior management and
board of directors.

6.6 Money Laundering Risk:


Money laundering is the process of transforming the proceeds of crime into legitimate money or other assets. The
prevention of laundering the proceeds of crime has become a priority for all jurisdictions from which financial activities
are carried out. Both money laundering and terrorist financing can weaken individual financial institution and they are
also threats to a country’s overall financial sector reputation.
The money laundering is not a single act but a process accomplished in 3 basic stages which may comprise numerous
transactions by the launderers that could alert a financial institution to criminal activity:
• Placement- the physical disposal of the initial proceeds derived from illegal activity.
• Layering- separating illicit proceeds from their source by creating complex layers of financial transactions designed
to disguise the audit trail and provide anonymity.
• Integration- the provision of apparent legitimacy to wealth derived criminally.

368
Annual Report 2022

6.6.1 Mitigation Techniques of Money Laundering Risk:


• A separate division named as “Money Laundering & Terrorist financing Prevention Division” has been constituted

6.7 Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Risk:


Now, Banks have become more dependent on information and communication technology such as the internet, computer
and other electronic data to run their daily operations. With the onset of COVID-19, everything from individuals to
businesses heavily relies upon IT infrastructure, which is playing the instrumental role in shaping the virtual platforms
into natural means. Although technology emerged as the savior during the pandemic, it has also exposed us to the
greater risk due to the involvement of mass people and massive processes with technologies. This risk may arise from
malfunction of the system, failure of the network, lack of knowledge about the use of technology, virus attack, hacking,
cyber-attacks, etc.

Jamuna Bank Limited 369


6.7.1 Mitigation Techniques of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Risk:
• JBL has formulated Up-to-date ICT security policy that is aligned with the latest Bangladesh Bank ICT guidelines as
well as international standards.
• As part of the effective centralized management of Banking operations, a full-fledged Data Centre (DC) was
Established with sophisticated technologies.
• Jamuna Bank has established Disaster Recovery Site (DRS) at Bangabandhu Hi-Tech City in Kaliakair, Gazipur. This
DRS is equipped to protect loss of customers’ sensitive information and their transactions, in case of failure of
primary Data Centre (DC) due to any disaster.

6.7.2 Monitoring Mechanism of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Risk:


• To minimize ICT risk, the Bank has embraced different core technological improvement initiatives e.g. relocation
and up gradation of Data Centre, purchase of new Core Banking Software (CBS), SMS alerts for all ADC transactions,
version update of Mobile banking and internet banking.
• For Cyber Security Management, a continuous awareness program for everyone, employees and clients about cyber
security goes round the years in JBL. The Bank reminds the employees about security in every possible way as a
continuous process.
• In practice, a handful of initiatives including firewalls, perimeter security, vulnerability testing and intrusion
prevention are in place to check and strengthen the preventive measures against cyber-attacks.
• An IT Audit Team has been formed to audit the Branches and related Divisions.

6.8 Residual Risk:


Risk Based Capital Adequacy (RBCA) framework and other supervisory regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank on credit
risk management allow Banks to offset credit or counterparty risk with collateral along with the legal and financial
documents. While the Bank uses different techniques to reduce its credit risk, improper application of these techniques
gives rise to additional risks that may render the overall risk management less effective. Accordingly, these additional
risks (e.g. documentation risk, valuation risk) are termed as Residual Risk. Residual Risk is a risk that arises mainly out
of the following situations:
• Error in Documentation
• Error in Valuation of Collateral

6.8.1 Mitigation Techniques of Residual Risk:


Jamuna Bank Limited manages residual risk in the following approach:
• Establish a policy or plan for reducing documentation lapses and valuation errors.
• Formulate a clearly defined valuation methodology for collateral security.
• Prepare a Material Documents Checklist and its risk weight.
• Allocate additional capital for residual risk in ICAAP report annually.

6.8.2 Monitoring Mechanism of Residual Risk:


• Prepare list of clients who have documentation lapses.
• Monitor and follow-up those clients who have error or lapses in documentation
• Review the clients’ audit objections at the time of credit appraisal whether it is renewal or enhancement.
• Ensure revaluation of collateral security in every three years.

6.9 Concentration Risk:


Concentration risk arises when any bank invests its most or all of the assets to single or few individuals or entities or
sectors or instruments. That means when any bank fails to diversify its loan and investment portfolios, concentration
risk emerges.

In the context of Pillar-2, concentration risk can be of following two types:


I. Credit Concentration Risk: When the credit portfolio of a bank is concentrated within a few individuals or entities
or sectors, credit concentration risk arises.

7. Disclosures of Risk Reporting


Risk reporting is the vehicle for communicating the value that the Risk function brings to an organization. It involves
distribution of information on risks to internal and/or external stakeholders. Risk reports aggregate the measures of
risks, across products and businesses, are used to ensure compliance with policies, limits, and guidelines. They also
provide a clear statement of the amounts, types, and sensitivities of various risks in the banking operations. Senior
management and the Board use the information to visualize the bank’s risk profile and the performance of the portfolio.
Jamuna Bank Limited established a strong risk reporting in line with regulatory requirement and for internal analysis.

Bank submitted the following risk reports to Bangladesh Bank and other stakeholders on timely basis.

7.1 Risk Profile and Capital Allocation:


Jamuna Bank Limited determines the overall risk positions by calculating total Risk-Weighted Assets (RWAs) of credit,
market and operational risk at each quarter-end and allocated capital against them.
Capital allocation by risk types are as follows:

As per the risk profile, Credit Risk was accounted for 80% of total Risk-Weighted Assets (RWA) where the Market Risk and
Operational Risk were 10% and 10% respectively at the end of December-2022.

7.2 Capital Adequacy under Pillar I of Basel III: Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR)
Bank’s capital is the “cushion” for potential losses which protects the bank’s depositors or other borrowers. Capital
adequacy is the measure of the financial strength and sustainability of a bank. Thus, capital management is considered
as an integral part of the risk management of Jamuna Bank Limited. The Bank has a capital management process in
place to measure and monitor its available capital as per the guidelines on the Risk-Based Capital Adequacy Framework
in line with the Basel III issued by Bangladesh Bank.
As per Basel III Road Map, Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR) for the banks in Bangladesh is currently 10.00% of its
total RWA with the addition of Capital Conservation Buffer of 2.50% of total RWA from the year 2019.

Annual Report 2022

At the end of 2021 and 2022 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets Ratio (CRAR) of Jamuna Bank Limited stood at 16.42% and
16.75% respectively which indicates that Bank is far above the Basel-III implementation road map of Bangladesh Bank to
maintain targeted CRAR of 12.50% with buffer.

7.3 ICAAP report under Pillar II of Basel III: Adequate Capital Requirement
Supervisory Review Process (SRP) is the second pillar of Basel III, where Banks maintain the adequate capital requirement
in addition to the MCR under pillar 1. The key principle of the supervisory review process (SRP) is that “banks have a
process for assessing overall capital adequacy in relation to their risk profile and a strategy for maintaining their capital
at an adequate level”. Jamuna Bank Limited prepares ICAAP report on an annual basis and maintains adequate level
of capital each year as per Bangladesh Bank’s Supervisory Review Evaluation Process (SREP). The Bank has perfectly
maintained adequate capital through rigorous oversight of the Bank’s SRP Team.

7.4 Market Discipline: Disclosure as per Pillar III of Basel III


Market discipline, which is pillar III of Basel III, aims to establish a transparent and disciplined financial market so
that stakeholders can measure the Banks’ position regarding holding of assets and to identify the risks relating to the
assets and capital adequacy to meet probable loss of assets. Thus, JBL has created a set of disclosure as per guidelines of
Bangladesh Bank which includes information on assets, risk exposure, risk assessment processes, and capital adequacy
to meet the risks. The disclosure has been reported in another section of this annual report.

7.5. Stress Testing Report


Jamuna Bank Ltd. conducts stress testing on some key parameters, which could adversely impact the Bank’s capital
adequacy, on a quarterly basis. It’s a simulation technique where the Bank assumes some hypothetical shock-events in
three different magnitudes, i.e. minor, moderate, and major. Stress Testing is a risk management tool that enables a Bank
to gauge the severity of the potential events in a structured way. The impact of this test is expressed through the change
in the overall CRAR of the Bank. The outcome of stress testing needs to be submitted to Bangladesh Bank upon review
of senior management and Board.

7.6 Duration Gap Analysis


Duration is the measure of the portfolio’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates. The duration gap indicates how
the Market Value of Equity (MVE) of a Bank could change with a certain change in the interest rate. If the weighted
average duration of assets exceeds the weighted average duration of liabilities, the duration gap is said to be positive,
which implies that the assets are more interest-rate sensitive than the liabilities. Jamuna Bank prepares the report of
duration gap as a part of the stress testing and submits it to Bangladesh Bank on a quarterly basis.

7.7 Comprehensive Risk Management Report (CRMR):
Comprehensive Risk Management Report (CRMR) is a holistic approach towards risk reporting taken up by Bangladesh
Bank in addition to Monthly Risk Management Reporting (MRMR). Pursuant to the guidance of Bangladesh Bank,
Jamuna Bank submits Comprehensive Risk Management Report (CRMR) to Bangladesh Bank on a half yearly basis. That
CRMR encompasses a thorough and rigorous analysis of risk indicators including Credit risk, Market risk, Liquidity
risk, Operational risk, Reputational risk, Money Laundering risk, Compliance and other risk. Moreover, a robust set of
questionnaire is given to assess the Bank’s overall risk resilience capacity on qualitative basis. Bangladesh Bank provides
risk rating to the Banks on the basis of quantitative and qualitative information given in the CRMR.

7.8 Risk Appetite Statement


Bangladesh Bank (BB) introduced the risk appetite statement in 2015 vide DOS circular letter no.13 dated September
09, 2015. Later in 2018, Bangladesh Bank had prescribed a standard template for preparing the RAS. It was further
emphasized vide Risk Management Guidelines for Banks in 2018. Henceforth, Jamuna Bank has been preparing the RAS
and submits it to Bangladesh Bank annually upon review of senior management and approval of Board of Directors.

7.9 Recovery Plan


In order to cope with severe stress events that threaten the financial and operational strength and viability of a bank,
Bangladesh Bank has issued BRPD Circular No.03 dated 24 February 2022 to develop Recovery Plan for preparing
responses to the potential shocks in advance so that Bank can act promptly and effectively in the event of a stress situation.
In response to Bangladesh Bank Circular, Jamuna Bank Limited formulated an Executive Committee and a Working
Committee to develop a recovery plan for the Bank. The Executive Committee comprises with Senior Management,
CRO, CFO and other important divisional Heads of the bank and the Working Committee comprises with most talent
executives and officials of different relevant divisions of the bank. With a joint effort of different business units and
risk management units of the bank, Jamuna Bank Limited has developed the Recovery Plan-2022 and submitted it to
Bangladesh Bank after review and approval of Board Risk Management Committee and Board of Directors respectively.

CAPITAL ADEQUACY
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES:
Bank’s Approach to Assessing Capital Adequacy: As banks in Bangladesh are now in a stage of developing risk management
models, BB suggested using Standardized Approach for computation of the capital charge for credit risk and market risk.
The bank adopted the Basic Indicator Approach (BIA) as prescribed by Bangladesh Bank in determining capital charge
against operational risk. Under the Basic Indicator Approach (BIA), the capital charge for operational risk is a fixed
percentage (denoted by alpha) of average positive annual gross income of the bank over the past three years.

Jamuna Bank Limited 379


The bank focuses on strengthening and enhancing its risk management culture and internal control environment rather
than increasing capital to cover up weak risk management and control practices. The bank has been generating most of
its incremental capital from retained profit (stock dividend and statutory reserve transfer etc.) to support incremental
growth of Risk Weighted Assets (RWA). Therefore, the Bank’s Capital to Risk weighted Asset Ratio (CRAR) remains
consistently within the comfort zone after implementation of Basel-III from 01 January, 2015. During the year 2022, the
CRAR ranges from 15.11% to 17.05% on consolidated basis and from 15.17% to 17.13% on solo basis against minimum
requirement of 12.50% of RWA.

Assessing regulatory capital in relation to overall risk exposure of a bank is an integrated and comprehensive process.
The bank, through its Supervisory Review Committee and Risk Management Committee, takes active measures to
identify, quantify, manage and monitor all risks to which the Bank is exposed to. Assessment of capital adequacy will be
in alignment with the findings of these exercises.

QUANTITATIVE DISCLOSURES:
The following table shows component wise allocation of capital to meet three risks – Credit Risk, Market Risk and
Operational Risk. As on the reporting date, the bank maintained a Capital to Risk weighted Asset Ratio (CRAR) of 16.69%
on ‘Consolidated Basis’ and 16.75% on ‘Solo Basis’ against the regulatory requirement of 12.50%. The bank had an excess
capital of BDT 786.72 crore (Solo) and BDT 778.03 crore (consolidated) after meeting all three risks as on reporting date
as shown in the following table:

Credit Exposure by Risk Weight: Risk-weighted asset is a bank’s assets and off-balance-sheet exposures, weighted
according to risk. Usually, different classes of assets have different risk weights associated with them. The calculation of
risk weights is determined by the revised “Guidelines on Risk Based Capital Adequacy” by BB. Banks need more capital
for assets where risk weight is higher and less capital for assets where risk weight is lower. The following table shows the
bank’s exposure under three main risk weight bands.

EQUITIES: DISCLOSURE FOR BANKING BOOK POSITIONS


QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES:
Equity risk is the risk that one’s investments will depreciate because of stock market dynamics causing one to lose
money. Investment of JBL in equity securities is broadly categorized into two parts: Securities (Shares-common or
preference, Mutual Fund) that are traded in the secondary market (trading book assets) and Un-quoted securities that
are categorized as banking book assets.

The capital charge for equities would apply on their current market value in bank’s trading book. This capital charge for
both specific risk and the general market risk will be at the rate of the required minimum capital adequacy ratio. This
is applied to all instruments that exhibit market behavior similar to equities. The instruments covered include equity
shares, whether voting or non-voting, convertible securities that behave like equities, for example: units of mutual
funds, and commitments to buy or sell equity.

INTEREST RATE RISK IN THE BANKING BOOK (IRRBB)
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES:
Interest Rate Risk is the potential that the value of the on-balance sheet and the off-balance sheet positions of the bank
would be negatively affected with the change in the interest rates. Interest Rate Risk in the banking book arises from
mismatches between the future yield of an asset and their funding cost. The immediate impact of changes in interest
rates is on the Bank’s net interest income (the difference between total interest income and the total interest expenses)
for particular period of time, while the long term impact is on the Bank’s net worth since the economic value of the
Bank’s assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet exposures are affected.

The process of interest rate risk management by the bank involves determination of the business objectives, expectation
about future macro-economic variables and understanding the money markets and debt market in which it operates.
Interest rate risk management also includes quantifying the appetite for interest rate risk to which bank is comfortable.

Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) monitors the interest rate movement on a regular basis. Duration Gap analysis is one
of the techniques by which JBL measures interest rate risk in the banking book on a quarterly basis. Duration is the
measure of a portfolio’s price sensitivity to changes in interest rates.

MARKET RISK
QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES:
Market risk is the risk that the value of a portfolio, either an investment portfolio or a trading portfolio, will decrease due
to the change in value of the market risk factors. The four standard market risk factors are equity prices, interest rates,
foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. The objectives of our market risk policies and processes are to obtain the
best balance of risk and return whilst meeting customers’ requirements. The primary categories of market risk for the
bank are:

Interest Rate Risk: The risk of loss resulting from changes in interest rates. As a result of mismatch of interest rates on
its assets and liabilities and/or timing differences in the maturity thereof.

Foreign Exchange Risk: It is the risk to earnings and capital arising from adverse movements in currency exchange rates.
It refers to the impact of adverse movement in currency exchange rates on the value of open foreign currency position.
There are also the risk of default of the counter parties and settlement risk.

Equity Risk: It is risk that results from adverse changes in the value of equity related portfolios.

Commodity Price Risk: Commodity price risk arises from changes in commodity prices and implied volatilities in

Ւ Internal Fraud.
Ւ External Fraud.
Ւ Employment practices & work plan.
Ւ Clients, products & business practice.
Ւ Damage of physical assets.
Ւ Business disrupt & system failure.

Annual Report 2022

of Anti-fraud Internal Control; Quarterly Operational Report (QOR) and Departmental Control Function Check List
(DCFCL) in line with the Bangladesh Bank’s relevant Instructions and recommendations. It is required to submit the
statement on Self-Assessment of Anti-fraud Internal Control to Bangladesh Bank on quarterly rest.

In addition, Bank’s Anti-Money laundering activities are headed by CAMLCO and their activities are devoted to protect
against all money laundering and terrorist finance related activities. The newly established Central Customer Service
& Complaint Management Cell was also engaged in mitigating the operation risks of the Bank. Apart from that, there
is adequate check and balance at every stage of operation, authorities are properly segregated and there is at least dual
control on every transaction to protect against operational risk.

Approaches for calculating capital charge for operational risk


The Bank follows the Basic Indicator Approach (BIA) as prescribed by BB through BRPD Circular No. 18 dated 21
December 2014 [Guidelines on Risk Based Capital Adequacy (Revised Regulatory Capital Framework for banks in line
with Basel III)].Under this approach, the capital charge for operational risk is a fixed percentage (denoted by alpha, α) of
average positive annual gross income of the bank over the past three. Figures for any year in which annual gross income
is negative or zero, should be excluded from both the numerator and denominator when calculating the average. The
capital charge for operational risk is enumerated by applying the following formula:
K = [(GI 1 + GI2 + GI3) α]/n
Where:
K = the capital charge under the Basic Indicator Approach
GI = only positive annual gross income over the previous three years (i.e., negative or zero gross income if any shall
be excluded)
α = 15 percent
n = number of the previous three years for which gross income is positive.
Besides, Gross Income (GI) is calculated as “Net Interest Income” plus “Net non-Interest Income”. The GI shall be:
a. Gross of any provisions (including interest suspense)
b. Gross of operating expenses, including fees paid to outsourcing service providers
c. Exclude realized profits/losses from the sale of securities held to maturity in the banking book
d. Exclude extraordinary or irregular items as well as categorize
e. Exclude income derived from insurance.

Indirect Economic Impacts


Financial Inclusion
In our country, many poor households that do not have any access to financial services. These economically
underprivileged people of the society may also not have proper documents to provide the banks for verification of
identity or income. Financial Inclusion aims to eliminate these barriers and provide economically priced financial
services to the less fortunate sections of the society so that they can be financially independent without depending
on charity or other means of getting fund that are actually not sustainable. We aim to democratise access to banking
services to more segments of the community by i) On boarding the unbanked people into the formal banking system, ii)
Nurturing healthy savings and investment habits and iii) Financing under served businesses and customers.

Information on environmental footprint


Jamuna Bank is committed to reducing its environmental impact and promoting sustainable practices. To achieve this,
the bank has implemented the 3R principles of Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle in its day-to-day operations. One notable
example of the bank’s green initiatives is the Jamuna Bank Tower located at Bir Uttam A.K. Khandakar Road, Gulshan-1,
Dhaka. This building has been designed to minimize its environmental footprint through features such as the use
of natural light, the incorporation of renewable energy sources, and the implementation of energy-efficient lighting
controls. The bank also prioritizes green features in its branches and other offices, by choosing environmentally-friendly
furniture and fixtures, such as those that comply with Green guard standards, and those that have low toxicity levels.
The bank’s direct environmental impacts are mainly related to paper, energy, and water consumption, as well as the
greenhouse gas emissions that result from these activities.

Paper consumption:
Jamuna Bank places a strong emphasis on reducing its environmental impact through internal and external
communication methods. The bank utilizes electronic means such as emails and SMS to communicate with both its staff
and customers. This not only streamlines communication, but also helps to reduce the consumption of paper. The bank
has made a conscious effort to move towards a paperless environment and has introduced products and services that
aim to eliminate the need for paper-based transactions.

In 2022, Jamuna Bank was able to save a total of 37.69 metric tons of paper, which is equivalent to a savings of BDT 6.71
million. The bank only uses external suppliers for the necessary papers it needs. To further reduce its impact, the bank
implements the 3R approach of reducing, reusing, and recycling. The bank makes use of both sides of paper for printing
draft copies, and any remaining paper deemed as waste is shredded and recycled for use as raw materials.

Energy Consumption within the Organization:


Jamuna Bank recognizes the importance of energy efficiency as a key aspect of reducing its environmental impact and
carbon footprint. Electricity from the grid is the main source of energy consumption for the bank, while fuels such as
diesel are used to generate on-site electricity for its branches and offices. To improve energy efficiency and minimize
environmental impact, the bank has implemented various initiatives such as monitoring and controlling energy
consumption, promoting green IT practices, using energy-efficient equipment, and exploring the use of renewable
energy sources.

Jamuna Bank Limited 425


In line with its commitment to sustainable practices, Jamuna Bank has installed solar panels at 72 locations, including 37
branches and 37 ATM booths, to utilize renewable energy. The bank has also adopted energy-saving measures in its office
premises, such as using LED and fluorescent lighting, solar panels, and natural skylight windows. The energy-efficient
central air conditioning system in the office also ensures proper cooling while maintaining energy efficiency.

In addition, Jamuna Bank encourages its employees to use eco-friendly modes of transportation, such as electric vehicles,
for their personal travel. Energy consumption incurred through business travel, such as air, train, and bus fare, is also a
concern for the bank and it is continuously working to reduce such energy consumption.

Jamuna Bank Limited places a strong emphasis on the efficient use of water as a resource. The bank recognizes that
access to clean and safe drinking water is essential for its employees, and therefore, it has taken several measures to
ensure its availability. The primary source of water for the bank is through a government-operated water supply line.
The water is stored in a water tank and is used primarily for drinking purposes by the employees. The bank is conscious
about the water usage and does not generate any water waste. In addition to the water supply from the government line,
the bank also procures purified drinking water from external suppliers to ensure its employees have access to clean and
safe drinking water. The bank is committed to maintaining the highest standards of health and safety for its employees
and takes every precaution to ensure that the water consumed by them is of the highest quality.

vehicles that run on diesel and gasoline, and also relies on diesel-powered generators. These activities directly contribute
to the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) into the atmosphere. Additionally, the bank is aware that its consumption
of electricity from the Bangladesh national grid indirectly contributes to GHG emissions. The bank is committed to
reducing its environmental impact and working towards a more sustainable future.

promote equitable and sustainable development, maintain
consistent higher growth of the economy, decrease
the inequality of a society and mitigate environmental
degradation. CSR is an integral part of our Bank’s culture.
As a responsible corporation, we respect the interests of our
stakeholders—our shareholders, employees, customers,
suppliers, teaming partners, and the wider community—
and we actively seek opportunities both to improve the
environment and to contribute to the well-being of the
communities in which we do business. UK-based “The Global Economics” awarded Jamuna Bank Limited as “Best
CSR Bank” in Bangladesh consecutively for the years 2021 and 2022.

Besides, the Bank management’s great importance is attached to the seventeen goals of sustainable development that
were set by the United Nations (SDGs) in 2015. Jamuna established a separate philanthropic organization in the name
of ‘Jamuna Bank Foundation’ to do its CSR activities. Since inception, Jamuna Bank Foundation (JBF) has been playing
pioneer role in the CSR activities. Over the past 15(fifteen) years of its journey, JBF went ahead with its unwavering

country. But there are not enough good quality autism schools in the country. Moreover, the existing autism schools
in the country are very expensive compared to regular schools. As such a major percentage of children are deprived of
special education. Considering the improvement of this special sector Jamuna Bank Foundation established PRODEEP
Jamuna Bank Foundation Autism School. Currently 14 no Autism students are getting special education support in this

ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLIMATE
CHANGE MITIGATION & ADAPTATION

1. Tree plantation program


The plants and trees play a very vital role in sustaining life and ecosystem on earth and, therefore, the importance of
tree plantation must be understood. They inhale carbon dioxide and exhale the life-giving oxygen. Plants and trees also
provide food, fuel, wood, flowers and many other important items. They are also natural source of food and habitat for
birds and wildlife and play a significant role in ecosystem. Trees also absorb other harmful gases from the atmosphere,
thus, making the air pure and fresh. Considering the importance of tree plantation, we have carried out tree planting
programs at different areas of the Country, some of the pictures are given below:

sewing machines to many women in different districts of Bangladesh. Our aims is to empowerment of underprivileged

families in a country where women are often discouraged to even go out of their houses let alone get a job.

any change in the fair value of securities measured “at fair value through profit and loss account” is taken to
profit and loss account and any change in the fair value of securities measured “at fair value through other
comprehensive income” is transferred to equity through other comprehensive income.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 25 June 2003 investments in quoted shares and unquoted
shares are revalued at the period end at market price and as per book value of last audited balance sheet

investments are recognized at costs.
ii) Revaluation gain/loss on Government securities
IFRS: As per requirement of IFRS 9, where securities T-bills and T-bonds will fall under the category of “held
for trading”, are measured at fair value and any change in the fair value of held for trading assets is recognized
through profit and loss account.
Securities T-bills designated as held to maturity are measured at amortized cost method and interest income is
recognized through the profit & loss account.
Bangladesh Bank: HFT securities are revalued on the basis of mark to market and at period end any gains on
revaluation of securities which have not matured as at the balance sheet date are recognized in other reserves
as a part of equity and any losses on revaluation of securities which have not matured as at the balance sheet
date are charged in the profit and loss account. Interest on HFT securities including amortization of discount
are recognized in the profit and loss account. HTM securities which have not matured as at the balance sheet
date are amortized at the year end and gains or losses on amortization are recognized in other reserve as a part
of equity.
iii) Provision on loans and advances
IFRS: As per IFRS 9 an entity should start the impairment assessment by considering whether objective
evidence of impairment exists for financial assets that are individually significant. For financial assets are not
individually significant, the assessment can be performed on an individual or collective (portfolio) basis.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 14 dated 23 September 2012, BRPD circular no. 3 dated 21 April 2019
and BRPD circular no. 05 dated 29 May 2013 a general provision at 0.25% to 5% under different categories of
unclassified loans (good/standard loans) has to be maintained regardless of objective evidence of impairment.
Also provision for sub-standard loan, doubtful loans and bad losses has to be provided at 20%, 50% and 100%
respectively for loans and advances depending on the duration of overdue. For the impact of global pandemic,
Covid-19 in business, as per BRPD Circular-56, dated 10 December, 2020, the requirements has been taken into
consideration. Again as per BRPD circular no. 10 dated 18 September 2007, a general provision at 1% is required
to be provided for all off-balance sheet exposures. Such provision policies are not specifically in line with those
prescribed by IFRS 9.
iv) Recognition of interest in suspense
IFRS: Loans and advances to customers are generally classified as ‘loans and receivables’ as per IFRS 9 and
interest income is recognized through effective interest rate method over the term of the loan. Once a loan is
impaired, interest income is recognized in profit and loss account on the same basis based on revised carrying
amount.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 03 dated April 21, 2019 and BRPD circular no. 14 dated 23 September
2012, once a loan is classified, interest on such loans are not allowed to be recognized as income, rather the
corresponding amount needs to be credited to an interest in suspense account, which is presented as liability
in the balance sheet.
v) Other comprehensive income
IAS: As per IAS 1 Other Comprehensive Income is a component of financial statements or the elements of
Other Comprehensive Income are to be included in a Single other Comprehensive Income (OCI) Statement.
Bangladesh Bank: Bangladesh Bank has issued templates for financial statements which will strictly be
followed by all banks. The templates of financial statements issued by Bangladesh Bank do not include Other
Comprehensive Income nor the elements of Other Comprehensive Income allowed to include in a Single Other
Comprehensive Income (OCI) Statement. As such the company does not prepare the other comprehensive
income statement. However elements of OCI, if any, are shown in the statements of changes in equity.

IAS: As per IAS 19, actuarial valuation has to be carried out with sufficient regularity to ensure that the
provision for gratuity is accounted for fairly. Moreover, provision has to be maintained for gratuity for all of its
employees from their date of joining.

Bangladesh Bank: The Bank has a policy to pay gratuity on the basis of last basic pay and is payable at the rate
of two months basic pay for every completed year of service upon fulfilling the eligibility criteria. The eligibility
criteria of accounting for gratuity is 6 (six) years of continued service with the Bank or a period of 3 (three) years
with any other Bank and 3 (three) years with Jamuna Bank Limited. The Bank management has accounted for
gratuity using this system instead of accounting for gratuity from the year of joining as per IAS 19.
vii) Financial instruments – presentation and disclosure
In several cases Bangladesh Bank guidelines categorize, recognize, measure and present financial instruments
differently from those prescribed in IFRS 9. As such some disclosure and presentation requirements of IFRS 7
and IAS 32 cannot be made in the Financial Statements.
viii) Repo transactions
IFRS: When an entity sells a financial asset and simultaneously enters into an agreement to repurchase the
asset (or a similar asset) at a fixed price on a future date (repo or stock lending), the arrangement is accounted
for as a deposit, and the underlying asset continues to be recognized in the entity’s financial statements. This
transaction will be treated as loan and the difference between selling price and repurchase price will be treated
as interest expense.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD guidelines, when a bank sells a financial asset and simultaneously enters into
an agreement to repurchase the asset (or a similar asset) at a fixed price on a future date (repo or stock lending),
the arrangement is accounted for as a normal sales transactions and the financial assets are derecognized in
the seller’s book and recognized in the buyer’s book.
ix) Financial guarantees
IFRS: As per IFRS 9, financial guarantees are contracts that require an entity to make specified payments
to reimburse the holder for a loss it incurs because a specified debtor fails to make payment when due in
accordance with the terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee liabilities are recognized initially at their
fair value, and the initial fair value is amortized over the life of the financial guarantee. The financial guarantee
liability is subsequently carried at the higher of this amortized amount and the present value of any expected
payment when a payment under the guarantee has become probable. Financial guarantees are included within
other liabilities.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD 14 dated 25 June 2003, financial guarantees such as L/C, L/G will be treated as
Off-Balance Sheet items. No liability is recognized for the guarantee except the cash margin.
x) Cash and cash equivalent
IAS: Cash and cash equivalent items should be reported as cash item as per IAS 7.
Bangladesh Bank: Some cash and cash equivalent items such as ‘money at call and on short notice’, Treasury

method selected is applied consistently.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD 14 dated 25 June 2003, cash flow is the mixture of direct and indirect method.
xiii) Balance with Bangladesh Bank: (CRR)
IAS: Balance with Bangladesh Bank should be treated as other asset as it is not available for use in day to day
operations as per IAS 7.
Bangladesh Bank: Balance with Bangladesh Bank is treated as cash and cash equivalents.
xiv) Presentation of intangible asset
IAS: Intangible asset must be identified and recognized, and the disclosure must be given as per IAS 38.
Bangladesh Bank: There is no requirement for regulation of intangible assets in BRPD 14 dated 25 June 2003.
xv) Off-balance sheet items
IFRS: There is no concept of off-balance sheet items in any IFRS; hence there is no requirement of disclosure
of off-balance sheet items on the face of the balance sheet.
Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD 14 dated 25 June 2003, off balance sheet items (e.g. Letter of credit, Letter of
guarantee etc.) must be disclosed separately in face of balance sheet.
xvi) Disclosure of appropriation of profit
IFRS: There is no requirement to show appropriation of profit in the face of statement of comprehensive

GBCSRD Circular No. 04 dated 9 July 2015 was issued by Bangladesh Bank which instructed Banks to maintain
a climate fund of 10% of the CSR budget. During the period ended 31 December 2022, the bank kept provision
inline with the circular.
2.01.2 The Bank’s compliance with related pronouncements by Bangladesh Bank:
i) Internal control
The objective of internal control is to ensure that management has reasonable assurance that (i) operations are
effective, efficient and aligned with strategy, (ii) financial reporting and management information is reliable,
complete and timely accessible, (iii) the entity is in compliance with applicable Laws and Regulations as well as
its internal policies and ethical values including sustainability, and (iv) assets of the company are safeguarded
and frauds, forgeries & errors are prevented or detected.

and internal policies.
The Board of Directors of Jamuna Bank, through its Audit Committee, periodically reviews the effectiveness
of Banks internal control system covering all the material controls, including financial, operational and
compliance controls, risk management systems, the adequacy of resources, qualifications and experience
of staff of the accounting and financial reporting function, training programs, budget, etc. The Board Audit
Committee reviews the actions taken on internal control issues identified by the Internal & External Auditors
and Regulatory Authorities. It has active oversight on the internal audits independence, scope of work
and resources and it also reviews the functions of Internal Control & Compliance Division of Head Office,
particularly the scope of the annual audit plan and frequency of the internal audit activities.
During the year ended 31 December 2022, ICCD conducted inspection on most of the Branches/ Divisions of
Head Office of the Bank and submitted reports presenting the findings of the audits/ inspections. The bank
conducted the risk grading of branches as per Bangladesh Bank guideline. The ICCD plan and perform the

observations made in these reports. The reports or key points of the Reports have also been discussed in the
meetings of the Audit Committee of the Board and necessary steps have been taken according to the decision
of the said Committee for correct functioning of Internal Control & Compliance.
ii) Internal audit

organization undertaken by the specially assigned officers. Internal Auditor works as the Eyes & Ears of the
Management.

Jamuna Bank Limited 503


iii) Fraud and forgeries
Fraud can happen anywhere. Though, only relatively few major frauds are picked up by the media, huge sums
are lost by all kinds of businesses against large number of frauds. The risks of fraud is increasing day by day
as a result of growing globalization, more competitive markets, rapid developments in technology, periods of
economic difficulty, etc. Banks by virtue of the nature of activities undertaken and its operating environment
are vulnerable to frauds, which takes place when aggressive business strategy and process for quick growth
is adopted without adequate/ appropriate internal controls or non-adhering to operating standards/ controls.
In the recent past, incidence of frauds in the Banking industry has increased to some extent, which calls for
concerted steps in investigating the frauds and identifying the fraudsters for eventual criminal prosecution
and internal punitive action.
It will never be possible to eliminate all frauds and no system is completely fraud proof, since many fraudsters
are able to bypass control systems put in place. JBL pays attention on anti-fraud internal controls for prevention
of fraud and forgery. JBL assesses /evaluates the effectiveness of its Anti-Fraud Internal Control measures on
quarterly basis as per the items/ areas mentioned in the prescribed checklist of Bangladesh Bank. During the
year, few fraudulent losses arises due to creation of fake loan accounts and unauthorized fund transfer from
one account to another account.
iv) Risk management
The risky nature of Banking business has caused the Central Bank to be much concerned about the risk factors
affecting the financial position of the banks. In this connection every Central Bank has come forwarded to
establish a general framework to defeat risk factors considering the laws of the land. Bangladesh bank has also
undertaken an overall core-risk management project under which every bank is bounded to the authoritative
covenants to install risk management system.
Jamuna Bank Limited has established approved policies in compliance with Central bank’s guidelines covering
major areas such as (i) Credit risk management (b) Foreign exchange risk management (c) Asset liability
management (d) Money laundering risk (e) Internal control & compliance (f) Information and communication
technology security risk.
Jamuna Bank Limited has adopted Risk Management Guidelines formulated by Bangladesh Bank. The purpose

3.02.4 Property, plant and equipment and their depreciation
Recognition and measurement
Items of fixed assets excluding land are measured at cost/revaluation less accumulated depreciation and
accumulated impairment losses, if any. Land is measured at cost/revaluation.
Cost includes expenditure that are directly attributable to the acquisition of asset and bringing to the location
and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the intended manner.
When parts of an item of fixed asset have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major
components) of fixed assets.

506
Annual Report 2022

The gain or loss on disposal of an item of fixed asset is determined by comparing the proceeds from disposal
with the carrying amount of the item of fixed asset, and is recognized in other income/other expenses in profit
or loss.
Property, Plant and Equipment are recognized as assets in accordance with International Accounting Standards
(IAS) 16 “Property Plant and Equipment”.
Subsequent costs
The cost of replacing a component of an item of fixed assets is recognized in the carrying amount of the item
if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the Group and its cost
can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. The costs of the day-to-day
servicing of fixed assets are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
Depreciation
During the period under audit, depreciation is charged at the following annual rates on straight-line method
on all fixed assets except land. Depreciation has been charged on addition during the period when respective

3.02.5 Other Assets


Other assets include all balance sheet accounts not covered specifically in other areas of the supervisory activity
and such accounts may be quite insignificant in the overall financial condition of the Bank.
3.02.6 Non-banking assets
Non-banking assets are acquired on account of the failure of a borrower to repay the loan on time after receiving
the decree from the Court regarding the right and title of the mortgage property. The Bank has been awarded
ownership of the mortgage properties according to the verdict of the Honorable Court in accordance with the
section 33 (7) of “Artha Rin Adalat-2003”. The value of Non-Banking Assets has been determined and reported in
the financial statements on the basis of valuation report of an Independent valuer.
3.02.7 IFRS 16: Leases
Jamuna Bank Limited has applied IFRS 16: “Leases” for the first time with the date of initial application of 1
January 2021 using modified retrospective approach where the bank measured the lease liability at the present
value of the remaining lease payments and recognized a right-of-use asset at the date of the initial application
on a lease by lease basis.
In according to IFRS 16 Leases, a contract is, or contains, a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an
identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
Control is conveyed where the customer has both the right to direct the identified asset’s use and to obtain
substantially all the economic benefits from that use.
An asset is typically identified by being explicitly specified in a contract, but an asset can also be identified by
being implicitly specified at the time it is made available for use by the customer.
Upon lease commencement the bank recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The right-of-use asset
is initially measured at the amount of the lease liability plus any initial direct costs incurred by the Bank.
Adjustments may also be required for lease incentives, payments at or prior to commencement and restoration
obligations or similar. After lease commencement, the Bank measures the right-of-use asset using a cost model.
Under the cost model a right-of-use asset is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated
impairment.
The lease liability is initially measured at present value of the future lease payments discounted using the
discount rate implicit in the lease. Subsequently, the lease liability is adjusted for interest and lease payments,
as well as the impact of lease modifications, amongst others.
The Bank has elected to account for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets using the practical
expedients. Instead of recognizing a right-of-use asset and lease liability, the payments in relation to these are
recognized as an expense in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
On the statement of financial position, right-of-use assets have been included in property, plant and equipment
and lease liabilities have been included in other liabilities.

Jamuna Bank Limited 507


On transition to IFRS 16 the weighted average incremental borrowing rate applied to lease liabilities recognized
under IFRS 16 was 4%.
At the year end, the bank has total 157 branches out of which 153 branches are leased from different lessor.
While implementing IFRS-16 ‘leases’, we have considered 149 branches for which the underlying asset is of low
value, in accordance with Para 5(b), and Appendix B3-B8 of IFRS-16. Therefore, these 149 branches have been
exempted from being recognized as lease assets/liabilities and the remaining 4 branches have fallen under the
scope of IFRS-16.
3.03 Liabilities and basis of their valuation
3.03.1 Deposits and other accounts
Deposits by customers and banks are recognized when the bank enters into contractual provisions of
the arrangements with the counter parties, which is generally on trade date, and initially measured at the
consideration received.
3.03.2 Other liabilities
Other liabilities comprise items such as provision for loans and advances/investments, provision for taxation,
interest payable, interest suspense, accrued expenses, obligation under finance lease etc. Other liabilities are
recognized in the balance sheet according to the guidelines of Bangladesh Bank, Income Tax Ordinance 1984
and internal policy of the Bank.
3.03.2 Provision for liabilities
A provision is recognized in the balance sheet when the bank has a legal or constructive obligation as a result
of a past event and it is probable that an outflow of economic benefit will be required to settle the obligations,
in accordance with the IAS - 37 “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets”.
3.03.3 Share Capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity when there is no contractual obligation to transfer cash or other
financial assets.
3.03.4 Authorized Capital
Authorized capital is the maximum amount of share capital that the Bank is authorized by its Memorandum
and Articles of Association.
3.03.5 Paid up Capital
Paid up capital represents total amount of shareholders’ capital that has been paid in full by the ordinary
shareholders. Holders of ordinary shares are entitled to receive dividends as declared from time to time and are
entitled to vote at shareholders’ meetings. In the event of a winding-up of the Bank, ordinary shareholders are
ranked after all other shareholders and creditors and are fully entitled to any residual proceeds of liquidation.
3.04 Non controlling interest in subsidiaries
Non controlling interest in business is an accounting concept that refers to the portion of a subsidiary
corporation’s stock that is not owned by the parent corporation. The magnitude of the Non controlling interest
in the subsidiary company is always less than 50% of the outstanding shares, else the corporation would cease
to be a subsidiary of the parent. Non controlling interest is reported on the consolidated income statement as

Deferred tax is calculated on the taxable/deductible temporary differences between tax base amount and
carrying amount of assets and liabilities as required by International Accounting Standard (IAS)-12 “Income
Taxes”.
Deferred tax normally results in a liability being recognized within the Balance Sheet. Deferred tax is recognized
on differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the
corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit, and are accounted for using the balance
sheet liability method. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences
and deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available
against which deductible temporary differences, unused tax losses or unused tax credits can be utilized. Such
assets and liabilities are not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from the initial
recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects
neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there
is a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when they relate to
income taxes levied by the same taxation authority and the company intends to settle its current tax assets and
liabilities on a net basis.

3.15 Risk management
In banking organization, risk is the possibility that outcome of an action or event could bring up adverse
impact. Such outcome could either result in a direct loss of earnings/capital or may result in imposition of
constraints on banks’ ability to meet their business objectives. Risk is the outcome of losses due to sudden
downturn in economy or falling interest rates. Banks have to rely on their capital as a buffer to absorb such
losses. The types and degree of risks an organization may be exposed depend upon a number of factors such as
its size, complexity business activities, volume etc. Initially Bangladesh Bank has issued guidelines on six core
risk areas and accordingly scheduled banks operating in Bangladesh has implemented the guidelines for better
risk management practice. Implementation of core risk management guidelines by Jamuna Bank Limited (JBL)
and its status are discussed below.
3.15.1 Credit risk management
Credit risk arises while the borrowers or counterparty to a financial transaction fails to discharge an obligation
as per agreed covenants, resulting in financial loss to the Bank. Credit exposures may arise from both the
banking and trading books as well as Off-Balance sheet exposures. Credit risk is managed in the JBL through a
framework that spell out policies and procedures covering the measurement and management of credit risk.
There is a clear segregation of duties between transaction originators in the businesses and approvers in the
Risk function. All credit exposure limits are approved within a defined credit approval authority framework.
Credit policies and standards are considered and approved by the Board of Directors.
Credit rating and measurement
Risk measurement plays a central role, along with judgment and experience, in informing risk taking and
portfolio management decisions. It is a primary area for sustained investment and senior management
attention. The standard credit risk grading (CRG) system is used in both Corporate and SME Banking. The
grading is used to assess the client along with a range of quantitative and qualitative factors. Our credit grades
against Corporate & Medium clients are supported by external credit grades, and ratings assigned by external
ratings agencies.
Credit approval
Major credit exposures to individual borrowers, groups of connected counterparties and portfolios of retail
exposures are reviewed by the Head Office Credit Committee (HOCC) and HOCC recommend the loan to the
approval authority. All credit approval authorities are delegated by the Board of Directors to executives based
on their capability, experience & business acumen. Credit origination and approval roles are segregated in all
cases.

Annual Report 2022

Credit monitoring
We regularly monitor credit exposures, portfolio performance, and external trends through relationship and
corporate administration team at Branch and Head Office. Internal risk management reports containing
information on key environmental, political and economic trends across major portfolios; portfolio delinquency
and loan impairment performance; as well as credit grade migration are presented to risk committees (HOCC
and PAMC). The HOCC & PAMC meets regularly to assess the impact of external events and trends on the credit
risk portfolio and to define and implement our response in terms of appropriate changes to portfolio shape,
underwriting standards, risk policy and procedures. Accounts or portfolios are placed on Early Alert (EA)
when they display signs of weakness or financial deterioration, for example, where there is a decline in the
customer’s position within the industry, a breach of covenants, non-performance of an obligation, or there are
issues relating to ownership or management.
Such accounts and portfolios are subjected to a dedicated process overseen by the Monitoring & Recovery
Division. Account plans are re-evaluated and remedial actions are agreed and monitored. Remedial actions
include, but are not limited to, exposure reduction, security enhancement, exiting the account or immediate
movement of the account into the control of Recovery unit. In Retail/Consumer Banking, portfolio delinquency
trends are monitored continuously at a detailed level. Individual customer behavior is also tracked and
informed in lending decisions. Accounts which are past due are subject to a collections process, monitored
in collaboration with the Relationship manager by the Risk function. Charged-off accounts of the Bank are
managed by specialist recovery teams.
Concentration risk
Credit concentration risk is managed within concentration caps set for counterparty or groups of connected
counterparty, for industry sector; and for product. Additional targets are set and monitored for concentrations
by credit committee. Credit concentrations are monitored by the responsible risk committees in each of the
businesses and concentration limits that are material to the Bank are reviewed and approved at least annually
by the Board of Directors.
Credit risk mitigation
Potential credit losses from any given account, customer or portfolio are mitigated using a range of tools such
as collateral, netting agreements, insurance, and other guarantees. The reliance that can be placed on these
mitigates is carefully assessed in light of issues such as legal certainty and enforceability, market valuation
correlation and counterparty risk of the guarantor. Risk mitigation policies determine the eligibility of
collateral types. Collateral types which are eligible for risk mitigation include: cash; residential, commercial
and industrial property; fixed assets such as motor vehicles, plant and machinery; marketable securities;
commodities; bank guarantees; and letters of credit. Collateral is valued in accordance with our credit policy,
which prescribes the frequency of valuation for different collateral types, based on the level of price volatility
of each type of collateral. Collateral held against impaired loans is maintained at fair value.
3.15.2 Foreign exchange risk
Foreign exchange risk is the risk that an investment’s value changing due to changes in currency exchange
rates. The risk that an investor will have to close out a long or short position in a foreign currency at a loss
due to an adverse movement in exchange rates. The risk is most acute for businesses that deal in more than
one currency. However, other businesses are indirectly exposed to foreign exchange risk if, for example, their
business relies on imported products and services.
Foreign exchange risk should be managed where fluctuations in exchange rates impact the business profitability.
Sources of foreign exchange risk :
Foreign exchange risk for a business may arise from a number of sources, including:
· where the business is related to imports or exports
· where other costs, such as capital expenditure, are denominated in foreign currency
· where export bill is received in foreign currency
· where other income, such as royalties, interest, dividends etc., is received in foreign currency
· where the loans are denominated (and therefore payable) in foreign currency
· where the business has offshore assets such as operations or subsidiaries that are valued in a foreign
currency, or foreign currency deposits.
Methods of measuring foreign exchange risk:
There are many ways to measure foreign exchange risk, ranging from simple to complex measures. Following
are some of the examples of the simpler measures which can be applied and understood by most businesses :
· MIS of foreign currency exposures
· Table of projected foreign currency cash-flows
· Sensitivity analysis
· Value at risk

Jamuna Bank Limited 511


Like other banks and financial institutions, Jamuna Bank Ltd. is also exposed to Foreign Exchange Risk that
sprouts externally due to convergence and divergence of many factors in the international market. The foreign
exchange business of the bank, fully backed by the underlying transactions, is well-managed as per Bank’s
internal risk management policies and guidelines and the guidelines of Bangladesh Bank (Central Bank of
Bangladesh) . The Asset Liability Management Committee (ALCO) of the bank, headed by the Managing
Director & CEO, reviews the risk management position of the bank on regular intervals and provides insights
and guidelines to the Treasury Division to manage the foreign exchange risk of the Bank with minimum
financial impact.
3.15.3 Asset Liability Management Risk
The Bank has established an Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) contains 10 (ten) members headed by Managing
Director. The committee meets at least once in every month. The main responsibilities of ALCO are to look
after the Financial Market activities, manage liquidity and interest rate risk, understand the market position
and competition etc. The Asset Liability Management Committee also monitored the balance sheet risk. The
balance sheet risk is defined as potential changes in earnings due to change in rate of interest and exchange
earnings which are not of trading nature. To support ALM process, the most important strategy of the ALM of
the Bank is medium to short-term funding and adequate liquidity both in local and foreign currency all time
at the most appropriate funding cost. An important objective of ALCO is to provide cost effective funding to
finance the asset growth and trade related transactions, optimize the funding cost, increase spread with the
lowest possible liquidity, maturity, foreign exchange and interest rate risks.
3.15.4 Internal control and compliance risk:
Internal controls are the policies and procedures established and implemented alone, or in concert with other
policies or procedures, to manage and control a particular risk or business activity, or combination of risks or
business activities, to which the Bank is exposed to or in which it is engaged.
Objective of internal control:
The primary objective of internal control system in a bank is to help the bank perform better through the use of
its resources. Through internal control system bank identifies its weaknesses and takes appropriate measures
to overcome the same. The main objectives of internal control are as follows :
· Efficiency and effectiveness of activities (performance objectives)
· Reliability, completeness and timelines of financial and management information (information objectives)
· Compliance with applicable laws and regulations (compliance objectives), Risk Recognition and
Assessment:
· Internal control system has been designed in such a way to recognize and assess all of the material risks
that could adversely affect the achievement of the Bank’s goals.
· Effective risk assessments identify and consider both internal and external factors.
· Risk assessment by Internal Control System differs from the business risk management process which
typically focuses more on the review of business strategies developed to maximize the risk/reward
trade-off within the different areas of the Bank. The risk assessment by Internal Control focuses more
on compliance with regulatory requirements, social, ethical and environmental risks those affect the
banking industry.
3.15.5 Money laundering risk:
Money Laundering Risk is one of the 6(six) core risk elements in banking business. Money Laundering Risk
is defined as reputational and legal risk under operational risk and expenses incurred as penalty for being
non-complied in prevention of money laundering. In order to manage the AML risk, the bank has set up an
effective Anti-Money Laundering programme in line with Anti-Money Laundering Act, 2012 as amended 2015
and Bangladesh Bank guidance which has been updated through inclusion of Anti-Terrorist Act, 2012. The
Bank has developed manuals for prevention of money laundering and introduced know Your Customer (KYC)
program and Transaction Profile (TP) including uniform A/c opening form at branch level for meticulous
compliance. The Bank recognizes this risk as a separate classification emphasizing due importance for being
compliant on it by way of making conversant of all Executives/Officers through issuing Circulars and providing
necessary training of AML and CFT issues by AML Division of the Bank.
Designation of anti money laundering compliance officers (AMLCO):
The Bank has designated a Chief Anti-Money Laundering Compliance Officer (CAMLCO) at its Head Office who
is empowered with sufficient authority to implement and enforce anti-money laundering policies, procedures
and measures and who reports directly to Senior Management and the Board of Directors. This provides
evidence of Senior Management’s commitment to efforts to combat money laundering and terrorist financing
and more importantly, provides added assurance that the officers have sufficient clout to investigate potentially
suspicious activities.

3.15.6 Information communication technology risk


In the year 2022 Bank has taken different initiatives to minimize ICT risks. Throughout the year Bank has
initiated different projects considering Risk Management into consideration.
In the year 2012, the ICT Policy of the Bank was revised and amended to cope up with the recent ICT trends
and risks. IT Audit Team performed comprehensive IT Audit on different aspects of IT for the Data Centre,
Disaster Recovery Site and also for branches. The audit recommendations and suggestions were considered
and accordingly steps were taken to minimize associated ICT Risks.
Bank has arranged awareness programs and trainings on the field of ICT Risk and its mitigation for both
business and technical human resources, from top management to the trainee officers. The idea behind this
practice was to increase average ICT knowledge of the Bank through which probability of occurrence of policy
noncompliance in the Bank will be minimized. A special session on ICT Risk Management was organized by
Information Technology Division of the Bank.
Bank has amended its Risk Management Policy as per the standard Risk Management frameworks, which has

different hardware for commenced Projects of 2013. This will ensure hardware failure risks to minimize.
The pursuit to control ICT risks was repeated throughout the year. This endeavor will further continue in the
year 2022.
3.15.7 Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk may arise either from trading portfolio or non-trading portfolio. The trading portfolio of the
Bank consists of Government treasury bills of 28 days maturity. The short-term movement in interest rate is
negligible or nil. Interest rate risk of non-trading business arises from mismatches between the future yield
of an asset and its funding cost. Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) monitors the interest rate movement on a
regular basis.
3.15.8 Equity risk
Equity risk arises from movement in market value of equities held. The risks are monitored by Investment
Committee under a well designed policy framework. The market value of equities held was, however, lower
than the cost price at the balance sheet date
3.15.9 Operational Risk
Operational risk may arise from error and fraud due to lack of internal control and compliance. Management
through Internal Control and Compliance Division controls operational procedure of the Bank. Internal Control
and Compliance Division undertakes periodical and special audit of the branches and divisions at the Head
Office for review of the operation and compliance of statutory requirements. The Audit Committee of the Board
subsequently reviews the reports of the Internal Control and Compliance Division.

Highlights on the overall activities of the bank have been furnished in
annexure-E.

51 Workers Participation Fund and Welfare Fund


SRO-336-AIN/2010 dated 5-10-2010 issued by the Ministry of Labour and Employment and published in Bangladesh
gazette on 07-10-2010 declaring the status of business of certain institutions and companies (like mobile operating
companies, mobile network service providing company, all Govt. and Non-Govt, money lending companies, all
insurance companies etc.) as “Industrial Undertakings” for the purpose of Chapter-xv of the Bangladesh Labor
Act, 2006 which deals with the workers participation in company’s profit by way of Workers Participation Fund
and Welfare Fund (WPFWF). The Bangladesh Labor Act, 2006 requires the “Industrial Undertakings” to maintain
provision for workers profit participation fund @5% on net profit. However, we have obtained legal opinion from
Legal advisor in this regard where it has been stated that Jamuna Bank Limited does not fall under this category.
Therefore, no provision in this regard has been made in the financial statements during the year under audit.

51.01 Covid-19
During the period, a global pandemic due to Corona Virus related respiratory disease commonly called as
COVID-19 and Government of Bangladesh has also taken a number of measures such as declaration of general
holiday, enforcement of lock down, social distancing etc. As a result of these measures all business and economic
activities are affected which also make huge impact to the economy. The business operation and profitability of
the Bank is also impacted due to COVID-19 and potential impact of operation and financial results.

embodied in the specific assets to which it relates.

Amortization is calculated using the straight-line method to write down the cost of intangible asset to its residual
values at 15%.

maintain the margin in accordance with the set rules and regulations. The margin is monitored on daily basis as

the investors are required to deposit additional fund to maintain margin as per rules and regulations otherwise
the securities are sold to bring the margin to the required level.

or loss taken to the Statement of Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income at net investment income. A

purpose of selling or repurchasing in the near term.

Jamuna Bank Limited 591


3.8.1 Recognition and measurement of financial assets
Financial Assets
Financial assets of the company include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other receivables.
The company initially recognizes receivable on the date they are originated. All other financial assets
are recognized initially on the date at which the company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of
the transaction. The company derecognizes a financial asset when and only when the contractual rights or
probabilities of receiving the cash flows from the asset expire or it transfers the right to receive contractual cash
flows on the financial assets in a transaction in which substantially all the risk and rewards of ownership of the
financial assets are transferred. JBCML extends margin loan facility to Investors’ Descretionary Accounts @50%.
Besides, the company invests in the capital market to maintain its own portfolio.
Financial Liabilities
JBCML has a Secured Over Draft (SOD) loan account with Dilkusha Branch of Jamuna Bank Limited with the
limit of Tk. 90 (ninety) crore @8.5% interest per annum.
3.9 Provision for income tax
Provision for income tax is made on the basis of company’s computation based on the best estimate of taxable
profit in accordance with the Income Tax Ordinance, 1984.
3.10 Revenue recognition
Revenue is recognized only when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the transaction will
flow to the enterprise and in accordance with IFRS 15: Revenue from Contracts with Customers.
3.10.1 Transaction/Settlement fee
Transaction/settlement fee is recognized as income when selling or buying order is executed.
3.10.2 Interest income from margin loan
Income from margin loan is recognized on accrual basis. Such income is calculated considering daily margin
loan balance of the respective customers. Income is recognized on quarterly basis.
3.10.3 Dividend income and gain/(loss) on sale of marketable securities
Dividend income is recognized when receipt or payment right is established whereas profit or loss arising from
the sale of securities is accounted for only when shares are sold in the market and profit is realized or loss is
incurred.
3.11 IFRS 16: Leases
JBCML applied IFRS 16: Leases for the first time with the date of initial application on 01 January 2020 using
modified retrospective approach where the company measured the lease liability at the present value of the
remaining lease payments and recognized a right-of-use asset at the date of the initial application on a lease by
lease basis.
The company has renewed its previous lease agreement and capitalized the lease rental for its 01 (one) floor
space of a building during the year. Subsequently before capitalization of the rental payment, the company has
considered the compliance criteria of IFRS 16 and applied accordingly.
According to IFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified
asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
An asset is typically identified by being explicitly specified in a contract, but an asset can also be identified by
being implicitly specified at the time it is made available for use by the customer.
Upon lease commencement, the company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The right-of-
use asset is initially measured at the amount of the lease liability plus any initial direct costs incurred by the
company. Adjustments may also be required for lease incentives, payments at or prior to commencement and
restoration obligations or similar. After lease commencement, the company measures the right-of-use asset
using a cost model. Under the cost model a right-of-use asset is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation.
The lease liability is initially measured at present value of the future lease payments discounted using the
discount rate implicit in the lease. Subsequently, the lease liability is adjusted for interest and lease payments,
as well as the impact of lease modifications, amongst others.
On the statement of financial position, right-of-use assets have been included in non-current assets portion and
lease obligations have been included in current liabilities portion.

Annual Report 2022

3.12 Income tax expenses


Income tax expenses comprise current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognized in the Statement of
Profit or Loss and Other Comprehensive Income except to the extent that it relates to items recognized directly
in equity, in which case it is recognized in equity.
3.12.1 Current tax
Income tax expense is recognized in Statement of Profit or Loss & Other Comprehensive Income. Current tax
is the expected tax payable on the total taxable income for the year using tax rates enacted or substantially
enacted as of reporting date and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years. The Company is a
full-fledged merchant bank as per Income Tax Law and provision for tax has duly been made. The rate of tax is
37.5%.
3.12.2 Deferred tax
The company has recognized deferred tax using balance sheet method in compliance with the provisions of IAS
12: Income Taxes. The company’s policy of recognizing deferred tax assets or liabilities is based on temporary
differences (taxable or deductible) between the carrying amount (book value) of assets and liabilities for financial
reporting purposes and its tax base, and accordingly, deferred tax income or expenses have been considered to
determine net profit after tax and Earnings per Share (EPS).
3.13 Provision for diminution in value of investments
Provision should be made for any loss arising from diminution in value of investments. Hence, difference
between cost and market value of investments is determined. Accordingly, as per BSEC circular, we have to
maintain full provision for diminution in value of investments within 31 December 2023 through maintaining
quarterly installment basis.
3.14 Events after the Reporting Period
Events after the reporting period, also known as non-adjusting events, are disclosed in the notes when material
as well as provide additional information about the company’s position at the period end date.
3.15 General
i) Figures have been rounded off to the nearest integer.
ii) Previous year’s figures have been rearranged wherever considered necessary to conform to the current
year’s presentation.
4. Financial Risk Management
4.1 Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails
to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’s loans and advances to customers
and investment securities. These loans and advances are fully covered by the securities held by the customer.
With respect to credit risk arising from the other financial assets of the Company, the maximum exposure is
equal to the carrying amounts of the financial assets.
4.2 Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of losses due to fluctuation or volatility of market price of investments in shares. The
company’s activities may give rise to risk at the time of settlement of transactions and trades.
4.3 Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the company will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The
company’s approach to managing liquidity (cash and cash equivalents) is to ensure, as far as possible, that it
will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities under both normal and stressed conditions without
incurring unacceptable losses or damage to the company’s reputation. Typically, the company ensures that it
has sufficient cash and cash equivalents to meet expected operational expenses, including financial obligations
through preparation of the cash flow forecast based on time line of payment of the financial obligation and
accordingly, arrange for sufficient liquidity/ fund to make the expected payment within due date.
This note presents information about the Company’s exposure to each of the above risks, the Company’s
objectives, policies and resources for measuring and managing risk, and the Company’s management of
capital. The Management has overall responsibility for the establishment and oversight of the Company’s risk
management framework.

Independent Auditor’s Report To the Shareholders of
Jamuna Bank Securities Limited
Report on the Audit of the Financial Statements
Opinion
we have audited the financial statements of “JAMUNA BANK SECURITIES LIMITED” Which comprise the financial
position as on 31 December 2022, statement of Comprehensive Income, statement of changes in equity and statements
of cash flows for the period then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant
accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give true and fair view of the financial position of the company
as at 31 December 2022, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the period then ended in accordance with
International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), the companies Act 1994 and other applicable laws and regulations.

Basis for Opinion


We conducted our audit in accordance with international Standards on Auditing (ISAs) our responsibilities under
those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section
of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for
Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (IESBA Code) together with the ethical requirements that are
relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Bangladesh, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities
in accordance with these ethical requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Going Concern
The company earned profit during the year.

Reporting on other information


Management is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises all of the information in the
Annual Report other than the financial Statements and our auditor’s report thereon. The Annual Report expected to be
made available to us after the auditor’s report.
Our Opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of
assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information identified
above when it becomes available and, in the financial statements of our knowledge obtained in the audit otherwise
appears to be materially misstated.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial
Statements and Internal Controls.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with
IFRSs, the Companies Act 1994 and other applicable laws and regulation and for such internal control as management
determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue
as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of
accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that include our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with
ISAS will always detect a material misstatement when is exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are
considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism
throughout the audit. We also:
• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,
design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and
appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

608
Annual Report 2022

• The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for on resulting from error, as
fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentation, or the override of internal control.
• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are
appropriate in the circumstances.
• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and
related disclosures made by management.
• Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on
the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast
significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty
exists, we are requiring to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements
or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence
obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to
cease to continue as a going concern.
• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and
whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair
presentation.
• Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial statements information of the entities or
business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the
direction, supervision and performance of the Company audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
• We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and
timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we
identity during our audit.
• We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical
requirements regarding independence, and the communicated with them relationships and other matters that may
reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
• From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of
most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit
matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure
about the matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would
reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
Report on other Legal and Regulatory Requirements
In accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) the Companies Act 1994 and other applicable
Laws, Rules and Regulations issued by the appropriate authority, we also report the following:
• We have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary
for the purposes of our audit and made due verification thereof;
• In our opinion, proper books of accounts as required by law have been kept by the Company so far as it appeared
from our examination of these books;
• The financial statements dealt with by the report are in agreement with the books of account.
