Under this system, banks provide the capital and clients provide expertise and profit is shared according to agreed ratio.

It enables the investor to obtain finished goods, raw materials, machinery or equipment from the local market or through import by opening letter of credit (L/C). Under this technique, bank buys the goods upon the request of the client and then the customer form the bank purchases these goods with a fixed period of time or by installment with a cost, which includes cost of goods plus mark-up profit. Ijarah: Izarah financing under Islamic Shariah is same as the western concept of leasing. In Ijarah financing, the bank finances capital goods to industrial project against payment of a rent by installment.

Introduction
1.1 Introduction &Background:
This internship report is originated as a partial fulfillment of the BBA program of School of Business, Independent University Bangladesh. This report is a mandatory requirement for BBA completion. I have worked at Export Import Bank of Bangladesh Ltd. Agrabad branch for three months and the experience of working at Export Import Bank of Bangladesh Ltd. has helped me to match our theoretical knowledge with practical understanding. As an intern of Export Import Bank of Bangladesh Ltd. i was provided with the topic A STUDY ON PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS: IMPORT DIVISION OFEXPORT IMPORT BANK OF BANGLADESH LIMITED. The report basically deals with A STUDY ON PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS: IMPORT DIVISION OFEXPORT IMPORT BANK OF BANGLADESH LIMITED. The foreign exchange policy of Export Import Bank of Bangladesh Ltd. is prepared in line with the guidelines of Bangladesh Bank and for the guideline of the officers or executives in handling affairs relating to foreign exchange in a disciplined way. Foreign exchange department plays a very important role in bank as they are the medium of the foreign exchange business to the customers. In this report I have tried to study the factors to evaluate EXIM Bank ltd with other banks. I made a comparison study between activities of three banks.

1.4 Limitations:
The present study was not out of limitations. But as an internee it was a great opportunity for me to know the banking activities in Bangladesh especially of EXIM Bank. Some constraints are appended bellow: Lack of Information or Data: Adequate and in-depth well-organized information is not available for access. Though the officials tried to assist, sometimes their working pressure couldn't give me proper assistance what I needed. There is some information which need special permission from top level is not always achievable. Time Constraint: It is something like impossible to cover the entire foreign exchange banking services exploiting Ninety days time period while an employee or an officer is awarded with one or two year probationary period to do his or her particular job. Secrecy of Information: Some of the information needed to explore the current marker scenario of the company was not disclosed. Comparison Status: I have had no opportunity to compare the foreign exchange banking system of the EXIM Bank with that of other contemporary and common size banks. I had compared the banks that information is available. It was mainly because of the shortage of time and internship nature. Lack of Experience: Though I have prepared many reports before, I had no experience of internship. So inexperience is one of the main constraints of the study.

Literature Review
2.1 Literature Review:
Foreign exchange means foreign currency and includes any instrument drawn, accepted, made or issued under clause (13) of Article 16 of the Bangladesh Bank Order, 1972] all deposits, credits and balances payable in any foreign currency, and any drafts, travelers cheque, letters of credit and bills of exchange, expressed or drawn in Bangladesh currency but payable in any foreign currency. Import of goods into Bangladesh is regulated by the Ministry of Commerce in terms of the Import and Export (Control) Act, 1950, through Import Policy Order (IPO) in force and Public Notices issued from time to time by the Office of the Chief Controller of Imports and Exports (CCI&E). The instructions contained in this chapter apply to sales of foreign exchange or transfers to non- resident taka accounts against import of goods into Bangladesh. In terms of the Importers, Exporters and Inventors (Registration) Order, 1981 no person can import goods into Bangladesh unless he is registered with the CCI&E or exempted from the provisions of the said Order. Before Letter of Credit Authorization Form (LCAF) is issued or Letter of credit (LC) is opened or remittance is made for imports into Bangladesh the AD should verify that the importer is registered with the CCI&E or otherwise exempted from such registration. The AD should ensure that the registration number of the importer is invariably furnished on the IMP form. Where the importer is exempted from such registration, a suitable mention of this fact should be made on the IMP form.
Page 31
The ADs must ensure that they deal only with known customers having a place of business in Bangladesh and can be traced easily should any occasion arise for this purpose. Opening of LCs and payments for imports into Bangladesh should be made through an AD in the area where the holder of the LCAF is resident. In case the importer is a new customer, the AD should obtain certificate from the AD through which the applicant imported earlier to the effect that no bill of entry is due/overdue for submission by the importer. Bangladesh followed a fixed exchange rate system until 1979. Between 1979 and mid-2003, the country pursued a managed floating exchange rate regime. Continual devaluation of the domestic currency, in order to maintain a stable real exchange rate and avoid overvaluation of the domestic currency, was the hallmarks of this regime. Since the end of May 2003, Bangladesh has introduced a kind of clean floating exchange rate policy by making it fully convertible on the current account, although capital account controls still remain. All the exchange rate policies Bangladesh has taken, mainly, to accelerate exports, reduce extra pressure of imports and thereby improve the balance of trade. The following studies validate the above statement. Islam (2003) states that the monetary authority determines the exchange rate policy aiming to achieve two main objectives. First, the domestic target, which includes restraining inflation rate, credit growth in the public and private sector, and the growth of liquidity and broad money. Secondly, the external target, which includes promotion in international reserves level, reduce the current account gap, control trends of exchange rate changes in the local inter-bank foreign exchange market, and adjust the trends in the exchange rates of neighboring trade partners: India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka.
Page 32
Hossain et al (2005) quoted from Rahman (1995) and Bayes et al (1995) that the main objectives of exchange rate changes of Bangladesh were to: (i) promote international competitiveness; (ii) encourage exports diversification; (iii) withdraw subsidies from exports sector; (iv) discourage imports growth; and (v) rearrange resources in import substitutes and export oriented sectors. Aziz (2003) paper states that the finance ministers of last few regimes in their statement stated the following reason of devaluation of currency in Bangladesh: (i) increase export, (ii) discourage import, (iii) protect local infant industries, (iv) encourage the expatriates to send money to home, and (v) improve international reserve situation. According to the Financial Sector Review (2006) of the Bangladesh Bank, the key aims of exchange rate policy of Bangladesh are to: I. Maintain competitiveness of Bangladeshi products in the world markets, II. Encourage remittances inflow from expatriate wage earners, III. Maintain stable internal price, and IV. Maintain a viable external account position. Thus, all the studies and policy papers have directly or indirectly articulated the export-ledgrowth and imports contraction targets as the main objectives of the exchange rate policy of Bangladesh.

Interpretation: It is clearly shown in the table the overall condition of the EXIM bank. The total deposit of the bank is increasing. It is very necessary for any Bank.

Bank Ltd and NCC Bank Ltd, it secure second position. But there also some other bank where the performance of EXIM bank is below of them. Amount of Deposit of the bank is growing year by year but the cost of deposit is increasing. It means that the bank has to pay 13% or some cases 13.5% profit (profit) to the depositor. On the contrary they take 16% profit (profit) from investor who takes loan from Bank. It is clear that bank has only 3% in their hand in which they have to use 2% for maintaining the administrative cost and the rest 1% is their profit. So Bank always want deposit with lesser cost or no cost thats mean they want deposit on current A/C( 0% profit rate) and STD A/C(5.5%profit rate) but they have a big number of deposit in Mudarabaha term deposit (MTDR) which profit rate is 13% . In the year 2012 the import letter of credit and import volume growth was 54.70%.in the year 2011 the growth was 19.71% and 2010 it was 23.80%. Another threaten is the technology, the bank must be adjusted with new technologies and information which they are trying. Otherwise the profitability of the bank may hamper. The marketing strategy adopted by the bank is effective but not efficient. The appearance of the bank in the printing media and electronic media has become a matter of fortune.

5.2 Recommendations:
The entire department should be well informed regarding their goal and objectives. It is essential to execute company objective into individual target. There must be clear allocation of responsibilities, authority and accountability. The bank should introduce more promotional activities. The bank should take initiative to develop an effective research and development centre to get innovative ideas to capture the competitive market. Diversified schemes for export and import with fewer margins for L/C should introduce by the bank for small entrepreneur to target a different segment to increase volume of export and import. Efficient and attractive marketing strategy and appearance of the bank in the printing media and electronic media would also increase knowledge of people about foreign trade. This is very much useful for increase transactions in foreign exchange department of this bank. Tight rules and requirements for opening foreign currency account should be relaxed and make it easy and simple.

importer. Opening bank then issues credit by air mail/TELEX/SWIFT followed by L/C advice as asked by the opener through his foreign correspondent or branch as the case may be, at the place of beneficiary. Then the advising bank make know the exporter by the negotiating Bank(the exporter Bank) about the L/C. Being confirm about L/C, exporter make the shipment of goods and sent the documents (Bill of lading, Bill of Exchange, Commercial Invoice, Certificate of Origin, Packing List, Shipment Certificate Pre-shipment Inspection Certificate) to the issuing Bank through the negotiating Bank .
