ROWTH RATE OVER THE YEAR

Financial Year	2005	2006	2007	2008
Net Interest Income	15.39%	32.69%	-6.70%	19.85%
Investment Income	36.31%	50.60%	85.59%	28.78%

Net Income after tax	21.95%	27.75%	-210.38%	81.41%

We see that interest income growth rate is very slow over the year but Investment income, commission and brokerage and other operating income is growing highly. Net income is growing but in 2007 income decreased because of classified loan for which they have to maintain large amount of provision. The growth rate of  income factor other than interest income indicate that bank are engaging in other activities and deviate from the core business i.e. from lending.

Business Trends:

From the above information we see that

·         Interest Income contribution to the operating income is decrease day by day from 2004 to 2008 from 54.30% to 32.45%.

·         Invest Income contribution to the operating income is increasing gradually from 2004 to 2008 from 15.70% to 38.01%.

·         Commission, brokerage and exchange income contribution to the operating income is increasing significantly over the period 2004 to 2005 from 26.09% to 29.99%  but from the year 2006 to 2008 it shows decreasing trend.

·         Other operating income contribution is also shows increasing trend.

We see that Jamuna Bank Limited’s net interest income percentage is decreasing but still now it contribute a significant amount in operating income. It is about 50% in 2008. Investment income contribution is also material part of the operating income.  Commission, brokerage and exchange income is growing at slow rate. So it can be said that Jamuna Bank Limited up to now concentrate on the core banking functions Loans, advances and investment.  But trend shows that it business gradually diverted from core banking business to other activities.

Conclusion:

Today’s banking is more competitive than earlier. Sherehareholders always expect better return. To maximize profit bank now want to expand its business besides its core banking functions. Investment banking, Merchant banking new two dimension of bank business. Some bank earn huge profit from Merchant banking. For sustainable growth and better development of the county banking sector should concentrate on the core function.
