BRIEF HITORY OF BANKING SECTOR OF BD
Development OF THE WORD ‘BANK’
The word bank originated from Italian word “Banca” . Banca means long tool. In ancient clip Italian Jews merchandiser used to make concern of imparting money by sitting on the tools. It is assumed that the word “bank” derived from the word Banca. To run into the disbursal of war of 1171 one type recognition certification was launched in Italy at an involvement rate of 5 % it was called as Monte in Italian linguistic communication and Bank in German linguistic communication so German linguistic communication was widely used in Italy. As a consequence the word Bank bit by bit changed to the word Banca from which the word Bank originated.
THE EMERGENCE OF MODERN Banking
The linguistics and etymologists suggests an interesting narrative about banking beginnings. Both the old Gallic word “Banque” and the Italian word Banca were used centuries ago to intend a bench or moneychangers table. This describes rather good what historiographers have observed refering the first bankers. who lived more than 2000 old ages ago. They were money modifiers. situated normally at tabular array or in a little store in the commercial territory. helping travellers who came to town by interchanging foreign coins for local money or dismissing commercial notes for a fee in order to provide merchandisers with working capital. The first bankers likely used their ain capital to fund their activities. but it was non long before the thought of pulling sedimentation and procuring impermanent loans from affluent clients became a beginning of bank support.
Loans were so made to merchant’s shippers and landholders at rates of involvements low as 6 per centum per annum to every bit high as 48 per centum a month for the hazardous ventures. Most of the early bank was Grecian in beginning. The banking industry bit by bit dispersed outward from the classical civilisations of Greece and Rome into northern and western Europe. The early bank in Europe was topographic points for safe maintaining of valuable points ( such as gold and silver bullion ) as people came to fear loss of their plus due to war. larceny. or expropriation by authorities. When settlements were established in North and South America. old universe banking pattern were transferred.
DEVELOPMENT OF Banking IN BANGLADESH
Since early British regulation. the history of banking in Bangladesh district shows that the traditional trade-networks developed before the Bankss invaded rural countries. And the banking services have easy flourished in Bangladesh district. Even today. in many topographic points. usurers provide recognition services. Small tradesmans and man of affairs use informal recognition at high involvement rate. Traditional mahjong’s money loaning concern bit by bit declined due to enlargement of bank and the micro recognition plans of NGOs. concerted Bankss and authorities bureaus.
PUBLIC SECTOR BANKS
During the release war in 1971. the economic. political. and societal system including the banking system was independently damaged. At that clip. all large and average fiscal establishments except two little Bankss had their caput office in the West Pakistan. The non-beagle proprietors and directors of the fiscal constitutions that operated in East Pakistan had abandoned them. After independency in 1971. the new authorities had to take over direction and ownership of all such establishments. The Bankss Nationalization Order 1972 was issued to nationalise Bankss and fiscal establishments ( except those incorporated abroad ) in order to command pandemonium in the field of ownership. party bureaucratism. the clerisy. and force per unit area group. By several orders the authorities of Peoples Republic of Bangladesh created- Six nationalized commercial Bankss ( NCBs ) :
1. Sonali Bank
2. Agrani Bank
3. Janata Bank
4. Rupali Bank
5. Pubali Bank
6. Uttra Bank
One industrial bank ( BSB )
One agricultural bank ( BKB )
One industrial development fiscal establishment ( BSRS ) The bank and fiscal establishments which originated during the Pakistan period and were merged. and renamed and working after independency of Bangladesh. In the twelvemonth 1983. the authorities allowed private sector to take part in the banking concern. The Publi Bank and the Uttara Bank were denationalized in 1985. due to non profitableness. This action reduced the figure of NCBs to four. Such restructuring of public sector Bankss was in order to play their function in industry. agribusiness. export. self –employment etc.
Private COMMERCIAL BANKS
Taking advantage of the liberalisation policy of the authorities sing engagement of private sector in the banking concern. a figure of private Bankss were established in –and –after 1983. With the outgrowth of private Bankss in Bangladesh. a competitory state of affairs in the sector has been created. Now there are 48 commercial Bankss in Bangladesh which are enlisted with Bangladesh Bank. among them four ( 4 ) are NCBs. five ( 5 ) are specialised Bankss. 20 nine ( 29 ) are private commercial Bankss and 10s ( 10 ) are foreign commercial Bankss. The outgrowth of private Bankss has added a new dimension to the banking system in Bangladesh. The private commercial Bankss show a steady growing in footings of figure of subdivisions. sedimentation and progresss.
