10 INTRODUCTION

11 Objective of the StudyI am a BBA student of Finance and to fulfill a partial requirement to complete my graduation I am continuing my internship program in LankaBangla Finance Limited a Non-Banking Financial Institution (NBFIs) of Bangladesh Working in this organization I have gathered some idea about the fact that the contribution of Lonka Bangla Finance Ltd In NBFIrsquoS of our country is highly remarkable So I have felt the interest to prepare my Internship Report on these institution The main objective of my report is to know and present some financial analysis on Lonka Bangla Finance Ltd Besides that I want to show the position and condition of LankaBangla Finance Limited (LBFL) in this industry

12 Scope of the StudyThere are 29 NBFIs in our country but information about all of them is not available So I have selected 21 DSE Listed NBFIs and tried to analyze information about those I have Shown some Financial data about these organizations and made analysis on those to see the inter-relationship among the Value Drivers of this industry

13 Methodology of the Study

131 Study ApproachAfter being ordered by the honorable supervisor teacher of my Internship Program Ms Shabnaz Amin Audity I have decided to make a report on At first I discussed about the topic of the report with the personnel of LankaBangla Finance Limited my intern place According to their suggestion and from my interest I selected the topic ldquoAnalysis on Non-Banking Financial Institutions (NBFIs) in Bangladesh (Concentration 21 listed companies)rdquo Then I informed my teacher about the topic and submitted the proposal with the broad outline of the report After getting the acceptance from her I have started work on this topic

132 Sampling ProcedureI have not selected all of the 29 NBFIs from our industry I have selected only 21 NBFIs which are listed as Financial Institution Sector in Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) in order to find the financial data available So my criterion to select an NBFI was its data availability To fulfill this criterion I have selected those 21 Institutions and tried to represent the condition of total NBFI industry of Bangladesh

133 Timeline used for DataI have worked on 5 yearsrsquo (Year 2006- Year 2010) data of my selected companies to get a good picture of the industry

134 Data Collection amp ArrangementAfter selecting topic my plan for making this report was firstly to collect financial data about the 21 DSE Listed NBFIs and analyze them attentively for finding out the necessary information related to my report and finally to arrange all of those data systematically I have collected relevant financial information (Asset Liability Investment Profit etc) about those companies from the financial statements and notes given in their Annual Reports I have found some reports in the own websites of those companies and some in the library of DSE I have also collected different information from the website of DSE and Ministry of Finance (MOF)

Then I have input and arranged these data using Microsoft Excel Program according to the requirement of my analysis

135 Tools UsedAfter arranging the data properly I have used some tools to go ahead for analysis of the NBFI industry My used tools are

Compounded Annual Growth rate Formula Ratio Analysis Correlation-Coefficient Simple Linear Regression Analysis

136 Data AnalysisAt first I have shown Top 10 NBFIs according to both Market capital and Asset Size Then I have calculate compounded annual growth rate of Asset Deposit Investment portfolio and Loan Lease amp Advances from year 2006 to 2010 After that I have made some ratio analysis of the companies and tried to find some relation among asset deposit and lease-loan portfolio using the correlation and regression analysis Finally I have given a brief case study on LankaBangla Finance Limited (LBFL) and drawn the conclusion on the present condition and future prospect of NBFI industry in our country

14 Significance of the Study

After completing the project I have gained some practical knowledge about the financial position of NBFIs in the economy of Bangladesh I think this report will be helpful for anyone to know about or to make further analysis on the Financial Institution Sector of our country

15 Limitations of the Study

I have faced the following limitations in the time of preparing the report 8 companies of the industry have not been selected for unavailability of data Different formats of Financial Statements followed by different companies created

some problem Some companies do not provide annual reports in their websites properly

Despite these limitations we have tried to give our best effort to prepare the report as properly as possible

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

Core financial services provided by financial intermediaries include paymentsand liquidity maturity transformation store of value information processing andpooling of risks Banks have traditionally provided most of these services and areincreasingly diversifying into other areas However banks typically have an edgein providing payment and liquidity related services and they usually select aportfolio mix with an overriding objective of providing a certain return Non-banking financial institutions (NBFIs) on the other hand tend to offer enhancedequity and risk based products NBFIs play a crucial role in broadening access tofinancial services enhancing competition and diversification of the financialsector They are increasingly being recognized as complementary to the bankingsystem capable of absorbing shocks and spreading risks at times of financialdistressTraditionally our banking financial institutions are involved in term lendingactivities which are mostly unfamiliar products for them Inefficiency of BFIs inlong-term loan management has already leaded an enormous volume of outstanding loan in our country At this backdrop in order to ensure flow of termloans and to meet the credit gap NBFIs have immense importance in theeconomy In addition non-bank financial sector is important to increase themobilization of term savings and for the sake of providing support services to thecapital marketThe purpose of this paper is to highlight different features of NBFIs their contribution to the overall economy and the product base of NBFIs The paper also describes the performance of NBFIs as measured by different financialindicators along with the effects of banksrsquo entry into the non-bank financing areaSpecial emphasis has been given to identify the challenges faced by NBFIs inBangladesh And finally development of NBFIs as well as their role instrengthening the financial system of Bangladesh has been discussed

10 INTRODUCTION

11 Objective of the StudyI am a BBA student of Finance and to fulfill a partial requirement to complete my graduation I am continuing my internship program in LankaBangla Finance Limited a Non-Banking Financial Institution (NBFIs) of Bangladesh Working in this organization I have gathered some idea about the fact that the contribution of Lonka Bangla Finance Ltd In NBFIrsquoS of our country is highly remarkable So I have felt the interest to prepare my Internship Report on these institution The main objective of my report is to know and present some financial analysis on Lonka Bangla Finance Ltd Besides that I want to show the position and condition of LankaBangla Finance Limited (LBFL) in this industry

12 Scope of the StudyThere are 29 NBFIs in our country but information about all of them is not available So I have selected 21 DSE Listed NBFIs and tried to analyze information about those I have Shown some Financial data about these organizations and made analysis on those to see the inter-relationship among the Value Drivers of this industry

13 Methodology of the Study

131 Study ApproachAfter being ordered by the honorable supervisor teacher of my Internship Program Ms Shabnaz Amin Audity I have decided to make a report on At first I discussed about the topic of the report with the personnel of LankaBangla Finance Limited my intern place According to their suggestion and from my interest I selected the topic ldquoAnalysis on Non-Banking Financial Institutions (NBFIs) in Bangladesh (Concentration 21 listed companies)rdquo Then I informed my teacher about the topic and submitted the proposal with the broad outline of the report After getting the acceptance from her I have started work on this topic

132 Sampling ProcedureI have not selected all of the 29 NBFIs from our industry I have selected only 21 NBFIs which are listed as Financial Institution Sector in Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) in order to find the financial data available So my criterion to select an NBFI was its data availability To fulfill this criterion I have selected those 21 Institutions and tried to represent the condition of total NBFI industry of Bangladesh

133 Timeline used for DataI have worked on 5 yearsrsquo (Year 2006- Year 2010) data of my selected companies to get a good picture of the industry

134 Data Collection amp ArrangementAfter selecting topic my plan for making this report was firstly to collect financial data about the 21 DSE Listed NBFIs and analyze them attentively for finding out the necessary information related to my report and finally to arrange all of those data systematically I have collected relevant financial information (Asset Liability Investment Profit etc) about those companies from the financial statements and notes given in their Annual Reports I have found some reports in the own websites of those companies and some in the library of DSE I have also collected different information from the website of DSE and Ministry of Finance (MOF)

Then I have input and arranged these data using Microsoft Excel Program according to the requirement of my analysis

135 Tools UsedAfter arranging the data properly I have used some tools to go ahead for analysis of the NBFI industry My used tools are

Compounded Annual Growth rate Formula Ratio Analysis Correlation-Coefficient Simple Linear Regression Analysis

136 Data AnalysisAt first I have shown Top 10 NBFIs according to both Market capital and Asset Size Then I have calculate compounded annual growth rate of Asset Deposit Investment portfolio and Loan Lease amp Advances from year 2006 to 2010 After that I have made some ratio analysis of the companies and tried to find some relation among asset deposit and lease-loan portfolio using the correlation and regression analysis Finally I have given a brief case study on LankaBangla Finance Limited (LBFL) and drawn the conclusion on the present condition and future prospect of NBFI industry in our country

14 Significance of the Study

After completing the project I have gained some practical knowledge about the financial position of NBFIs in the economy of Bangladesh I think this report will be helpful for anyone to know about or to make further analysis on the Financial Institution Sector of our country

15 Limitations of the Study

I have faced the following limitations in the time of preparing the report 8 companies of the industry have not been selected for unavailability of data Different formats of Financial Statements followed by different companies created

some problem Some companies do not provide annual reports in their websites properly

Despite these limitations we have tried to give our best effort to prepare the report as properly as possible

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Core financial services provided by financial intermediaries include paymentsand liquidity maturity transformation store of value information processing andpooling of risks Banks have traditionally provided most of these services and areincreasingly diversifying into other areas However banks typically have an edgein providing payment and liquidity related services and they usually select aportfolio mix with an overriding objective of providing a certain return Non-banking financial institutions (NBFIs) on the other hand tend to offer enhancedequity and risk based products NBFIs play a crucial role in broadening access tofinancial services enhancing competition and diversification of the financialsector They are increasingly being recognized as complementary to the bankingsystem capable of absorbing shocks and spreading risks at times of financialdistressTraditionally our banking financial institutions are involved in term lendingactivities which are mostly unfamiliar products for them Inefficiency of BFIs inlong-term loan management has already leaded an enormous volume of outstanding loan in our country At this backdrop in order to ensure flow of termloans and to meet the credit gap NBFIs have immense importance in theeconomy In addition non-bank financial sector is important to increase themobilization of term savings and for the sake of providing support services to thecapital marketThe purpose of this paper is to highlight different features of NBFIs their contribution to the overall economy and the product base of NBFIs The paper also describes the performance of NBFIs as measured by different financialindicators along with the effects of banksrsquo entry into the non-bank financing areaSpecial emphasis has been given to identify the challenges faced by NBFIs inBangladesh And finally development of NBFIs as well as their role instrengthening the financial system of Bangladesh has been discussed

10 INTRODUCTION

11 Objective of the StudyI am a BBA student of Finance and to fulfill a partial requirement to complete my graduation I am continuing my internship program in LankaBangla Finance Limited a Non-Banking Financial Institution (NBFIs) of Bangladesh Working in this organization I have gathered some idea about the fact that the contribution of Lonka Bangla Finance Ltd In NBFIrsquoS of our country is highly remarkable So I have felt the interest to prepare my Internship Report on these institution The main objective of my report is to know and present some financial analysis on Lonka Bangla Finance Ltd Besides that I want to show the position and condition of LankaBangla Finance Limited (LBFL) in this industry

12 Scope of the StudyThere are 29 NBFIs in our country but information about all of them is not available So I have selected 21 DSE Listed NBFIs and tried to analyze information about those I have Shown some Financial data about these organizations and made analysis on those to see the inter-relationship among the Value Drivers of this industry

13 Methodology of the Study

131 Study ApproachAfter being ordered by the honorable supervisor teacher of my Internship Program Ms Shabnaz Amin Audity I have decided to make a report on At first I discussed about the topic of the report with the personnel of LankaBangla Finance Limited my intern place According to their suggestion and from my interest I selected the topic ldquoAnalysis on Non-Banking Financial Institutions (NBFIs) in Bangladesh (Concentration 21 listed companies)rdquo Then I informed my teacher about the topic and submitted the proposal with the broad outline of the report After getting the acceptance from her I have started work on this topic

132 Sampling ProcedureI have not selected all of the 29 NBFIs from our industry I have selected only 21 NBFIs which are listed as Financial Institution Sector in Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) in order to find the financial data available So my criterion to select an NBFI was its data availability To fulfill this criterion I have selected those 21 Institutions and tried to represent the condition of total NBFI industry of Bangladesh

133 Timeline used for DataI have worked on 5 yearsrsquo (Year 2006- Year 2010) data of my selected companies to get a good picture of the industry

134 Data Collection amp ArrangementAfter selecting topic my plan for making this report was firstly to collect financial data about the 21 DSE Listed NBFIs and analyze them attentively for finding out the necessary information related to my report and finally to arrange all of those data systematically I have collected relevant financial information (Asset Liability Investment Profit etc) about those companies from the financial statements and notes given in their Annual Reports I have found some reports in the own websites of those companies and some in the library of DSE I have also collected different information from the website of DSE and Ministry of Finance (MOF)

Then I have input and arranged these data using Microsoft Excel Program according to the requirement of my analysis

135 Tools UsedAfter arranging the data properly I have used some tools to go ahead for analysis of the NBFI industry My used tools are

Compounded Annual Growth rate Formula Ratio Analysis Correlation-Coefficient Simple Linear Regression Analysis

136 Data AnalysisAt first I have shown Top 10 NBFIs according to both Market capital and Asset Size Then I have calculate compounded annual growth rate of Asset Deposit Investment portfolio and Loan Lease amp Advances from year 2006 to 2010 After that I have made some ratio analysis of the companies and tried to find some relation among asset deposit and lease-loan portfolio using the correlation and regression analysis Finally I have given a brief case study on LankaBangla Finance Limited (LBFL) and drawn the conclusion on the present condition and future prospect of NBFI industry in our country

After completing the project I have gained some practical knowledge about the financial position of NBFIs in the economy of Bangladesh I think this report will be helpful for anyone to know about or to make further analysis on the Financial Institution Sector of our country

15 Limitations of the Study

I have faced the following limitations in the time of preparing the report 8 companies of the industry have not been selected for unavailability of data Different formats of Financial Statements followed by different companies created

some problem Some companies do not provide annual reports in their websites properly

Despite these limitations we have tried to give our best effort to prepare the report as properly as possible

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

10 INTRODUCTION

11 Objective of the StudyI am a BBA student of Finance and to fulfill a partial requirement to complete my graduation I am continuing my internship program in LankaBangla Finance Limited a Non-Banking Financial Institution (NBFIs) of Bangladesh Working in this organization I have gathered some idea about the fact that the contribution of Lonka Bangla Finance Ltd In NBFIrsquoS of our country is highly remarkable So I have felt the interest to prepare my Internship Report on these institution The main objective of my report is to know and present some financial analysis on Lonka Bangla Finance Ltd Besides that I want to show the position and condition of LankaBangla Finance Limited (LBFL) in this industry

12 Scope of the StudyThere are 29 NBFIs in our country but information about all of them is not available So I have selected 21 DSE Listed NBFIs and tried to analyze information about those I have Shown some Financial data about these organizations and made analysis on those to see the inter-relationship among the Value Drivers of this industry

13 Methodology of the Study

131 Study ApproachAfter being ordered by the honorable supervisor teacher of my Internship Program Ms Shabnaz Amin Audity I have decided to make a report on At first I discussed about the topic of the report with the personnel of LankaBangla Finance Limited my intern place According to their suggestion and from my interest I selected the topic ldquoAnalysis on Non-Banking Financial Institutions (NBFIs) in Bangladesh (Concentration 21 listed companies)rdquo Then I informed my teacher about the topic and submitted the proposal with the broad outline of the report After getting the acceptance from her I have started work on this topic

132 Sampling ProcedureI have not selected all of the 29 NBFIs from our industry I have selected only 21 NBFIs which are listed as Financial Institution Sector in Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) in order to find the financial data available So my criterion to select an NBFI was its data availability To fulfill this criterion I have selected those 21 Institutions and tried to represent the condition of total NBFI industry of Bangladesh

133 Timeline used for DataI have worked on 5 yearsrsquo (Year 2006- Year 2010) data of my selected companies to get a good picture of the industry

134 Data Collection amp ArrangementAfter selecting topic my plan for making this report was firstly to collect financial data about the 21 DSE Listed NBFIs and analyze them attentively for finding out the necessary information related to my report and finally to arrange all of those data systematically I have collected relevant financial information (Asset Liability Investment Profit etc) about those companies from the financial statements and notes given in their Annual Reports I have found some reports in the own websites of those companies and some in the library of DSE I have also collected different information from the website of DSE and Ministry of Finance (MOF)

Then I have input and arranged these data using Microsoft Excel Program according to the requirement of my analysis

135 Tools UsedAfter arranging the data properly I have used some tools to go ahead for analysis of the NBFI industry My used tools are

Compounded Annual Growth rate Formula Ratio Analysis Correlation-Coefficient Simple Linear Regression Analysis

136 Data AnalysisAt first I have shown Top 10 NBFIs according to both Market capital and Asset Size Then I have calculate compounded annual growth rate of Asset Deposit Investment portfolio and Loan Lease amp Advances from year 2006 to 2010 After that I have made some ratio analysis of the companies and tried to find some relation among asset deposit and lease-loan portfolio using the correlation and regression analysis Finally I have given a brief case study on LankaBangla Finance Limited (LBFL) and drawn the conclusion on the present condition and future prospect of NBFI industry in our country

14 Significance of the Study

After completing the project I have gained some practical knowledge about the financial position of NBFIs in the economy of Bangladesh I think this report will be helpful for anyone to know about or to make further analysis on the Financial Institution Sector of our country

15 Limitations of the Study

I have faced the following limitations in the time of preparing the report 8 companies of the industry have not been selected for unavailability of data Different formats of Financial Statements followed by different companies created

some problem Some companies do not provide annual reports in their websites properly

Despite these limitations we have tried to give our best effort to prepare the report as properly as possible

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Core financial services provided by financial intermediaries include paymentsand liquidity maturity transformation store of value information processing andpooling of risks Banks have traditionally provided most of these services and areincreasingly diversifying into other areas However banks typically have an edgein providing payment and liquidity related services and they usually select aportfolio mix with an overriding objective of providing a certain return Non-banking financial institutions (NBFIs) on the other hand tend to offer enhancedequity and risk based products NBFIs play a crucial role in broadening access tofinancial services enhancing competition and diversification of the financialsector They are increasingly being recognized as complementary to the bankingsystem capable of absorbing shocks and spreading risks at times of financialdistressTraditionally our banking financial institutions are involved in term lendingactivities which are mostly unfamiliar products for them Inefficiency of BFIs inlong-term loan management has already leaded an enormous volume of outstanding loan in our country At this backdrop in order to ensure flow of termloans and to meet the credit gap NBFIs have immense importance in theeconomy In addition non-bank financial sector is important to increase themobilization of term savings and for the sake of providing support services to thecapital marketThe purpose of this paper is to highlight different features of NBFIs their contribution to the overall economy and the product base of NBFIs The paper also describes the performance of NBFIs as measured by different financialindicators along with the effects of banksrsquo entry into the non-bank financing areaSpecial emphasis has been given to identify the challenges faced by NBFIs inBangladesh And finally development of NBFIs as well as their role instrengthening the financial system of Bangladesh has been discussed

10 INTRODUCTION

11 Objective of the StudyI am a BBA student of Finance and to fulfill a partial requirement to complete my graduation I am continuing my internship program in LankaBangla Finance Limited a Non-Banking Financial Institution (NBFIs) of Bangladesh Working in this organization I have gathered some idea about the fact that the contribution of Lonka Bangla Finance Ltd In NBFIrsquoS of our country is highly remarkable So I have felt the interest to prepare my Internship Report on these institution The main objective of my report is to know and present some financial analysis on Lonka Bangla Finance Ltd Besides that I want to show the position and condition of LankaBangla Finance Limited (LBFL) in this industry

12 Scope of the StudyThere are 29 NBFIs in our country but information about all of them is not available So I have selected 21 DSE Listed NBFIs and tried to analyze information about those I have Shown some Financial data about these organizations and made analysis on those to see the inter-relationship among the Value Drivers of this industry

13 Methodology of the Study

131 Study ApproachAfter being ordered by the honorable supervisor teacher of my Internship Program Ms Shabnaz Amin Audity I have decided to make a report on At first I discussed about the topic of the report with the personnel of LankaBangla Finance Limited my intern place According to their suggestion and from my interest I selected the topic ldquoAnalysis on Non-Banking Financial Institutions (NBFIs) in Bangladesh (Concentration 21 listed companies)rdquo Then I informed my teacher about the topic and submitted the proposal with the broad outline of the report After getting the acceptance from her I have started work on this topic

132 Sampling ProcedureI have not selected all of the 29 NBFIs from our industry I have selected only 21 NBFIs which are listed as Financial Institution Sector in Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) in order to find the financial data available So my criterion to select an NBFI was its data availability To fulfill this criterion I have selected those 21 Institutions and tried to represent the condition of total NBFI industry of Bangladesh

133 Timeline used for DataI have worked on 5 yearsrsquo (Year 2006- Year 2010) data of my selected companies to get a good picture of the industry

134 Data Collection amp ArrangementAfter selecting topic my plan for making this report was firstly to collect financial data about the 21 DSE Listed NBFIs and analyze them attentively for finding out the necessary information related to my report and finally to arrange all of those data systematically I have collected relevant financial information (Asset Liability Investment Profit etc) about those companies from the financial statements and notes given in their Annual Reports I have found some reports in the own websites of those companies and some in the library of DSE I have also collected different information from the website of DSE and Ministry of Finance (MOF)

Then I have input and arranged these data using Microsoft Excel Program according to the requirement of my analysis

135 Tools UsedAfter arranging the data properly I have used some tools to go ahead for analysis of the NBFI industry My used tools are

Compounded Annual Growth rate Formula Ratio Analysis Correlation-Coefficient Simple Linear Regression Analysis

136 Data AnalysisAt first I have shown Top 10 NBFIs according to both Market capital and Asset Size Then I have calculate compounded annual growth rate of Asset Deposit Investment portfolio and Loan Lease amp Advances from year 2006 to 2010 After that I have made some ratio analysis of the companies and tried to find some relation among asset deposit and lease-loan portfolio using the correlation and regression analysis Finally I have given a brief case study on LankaBangla Finance Limited (LBFL) and drawn the conclusion on the present condition and future prospect of NBFI industry in our country

14 Significance of the Study

After completing the project I have gained some practical knowledge about the financial position of NBFIs in the economy of Bangladesh I think this report will be helpful for anyone to know about or to make further analysis on the Financial Institution Sector of our country

15 Limitations of the Study

I have faced the following limitations in the time of preparing the report 8 companies of the industry have not been selected for unavailability of data Different formats of Financial Statements followed by different companies created

some problem Some companies do not provide annual reports in their websites properly

Despite these limitations we have tried to give our best effort to prepare the report as properly as possible

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Core financial services provided by financial intermediaries include paymentsand liquidity maturity transformation store of value information processing andpooling of risks Banks have traditionally provided most of these services and areincreasingly diversifying into other areas However banks typically have an edgein providing payment and liquidity related services and they usually select aportfolio mix with an overriding objective of providing a certain return Non-banking financial institutions (NBFIs) on the other hand tend to offer enhancedequity and risk based products NBFIs play a crucial role in broadening access tofinancial services enhancing competition and diversification of the financialsector They are increasingly being recognized as complementary to the bankingsystem capable of absorbing shocks and spreading risks at times of financialdistressTraditionally our banking financial institutions are involved in term lendingactivities which are mostly unfamiliar products for them Inefficiency of BFIs inlong-term loan management has already leaded an enormous volume of outstanding loan in our country At this backdrop in order to ensure flow of termloans and to meet the credit gap NBFIs have immense importance in theeconomy In addition non-bank financial sector is important to increase themobilization of term savings and for the sake of providing support services to thecapital marketThe purpose of this paper is to highlight different features of NBFIs their contribution to the overall economy and the product base of NBFIs The paper also describes the performance of NBFIs as measured by different financialindicators along with the effects of banksrsquo entry into the non-bank financing areaSpecial emphasis has been given to identify the challenges faced by NBFIs inBangladesh And finally development of NBFIs as well as their role instrengthening the financial system of Bangladesh has been discussed

10 INTRODUCTION

11 Objective of the StudyI am a BBA student of Finance and to fulfill a partial requirement to complete my graduation I am continuing my internship program in LankaBangla Finance Limited a Non-Banking Financial Institution (NBFIs) of Bangladesh Working in this organization I have gathered some idea about the fact that the contribution of Lonka Bangla Finance Ltd In NBFIrsquoS of our country is highly remarkable So I have felt the interest to prepare my Internship Report on these institution The main objective of my report is to know and present some financial analysis on Lonka Bangla Finance Ltd Besides that I want to show the position and condition of LankaBangla Finance Limited (LBFL) in this industry

12 Scope of the StudyThere are 29 NBFIs in our country but information about all of them is not available So I have selected 21 DSE Listed NBFIs and tried to analyze information about those I have Shown some Financial data about these organizations and made analysis on those to see the inter-relationship among the Value Drivers of this industry

13 Methodology of the Study

131 Study ApproachAfter being ordered by the honorable supervisor teacher of my Internship Program Ms Shabnaz Amin Audity I have decided to make a report on At first I discussed about the topic of the report with the personnel of LankaBangla Finance Limited my intern place According to their suggestion and from my interest I selected the topic ldquoAnalysis on Non-Banking Financial Institutions (NBFIs) in Bangladesh (Concentration 21 listed companies)rdquo Then I informed my teacher about the topic and submitted the proposal with the broad outline of the report After getting the acceptance from her I have started work on this topic

132 Sampling ProcedureI have not selected all of the 29 NBFIs from our industry I have selected only 21 NBFIs which are listed as Financial Institution Sector in Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) in order to find the financial data available So my criterion to select an NBFI was its data availability To fulfill this criterion I have selected those 21 Institutions and tried to represent the condition of total NBFI industry of Bangladesh

133 Timeline used for DataI have worked on 5 yearsrsquo (Year 2006- Year 2010) data of my selected companies to get a good picture of the industry

134 Data Collection amp ArrangementAfter selecting topic my plan for making this report was firstly to collect financial data about the 21 DSE Listed NBFIs and analyze them attentively for finding out the necessary information related to my report and finally to arrange all of those data systematically I have collected relevant financial information (Asset Liability Investment Profit etc) about those companies from the financial statements and notes given in their Annual Reports I have found some reports in the own websites of those companies and some in the library of DSE I have also collected different information from the website of DSE and Ministry of Finance (MOF)

Then I have input and arranged these data using Microsoft Excel Program according to the requirement of my analysis

135 Tools UsedAfter arranging the data properly I have used some tools to go ahead for analysis of the NBFI industry My used tools are

Compounded Annual Growth rate Formula Ratio Analysis Correlation-Coefficient Simple Linear Regression Analysis

136 Data AnalysisAt first I have shown Top 10 NBFIs according to both Market capital and Asset Size Then I have calculate compounded annual growth rate of Asset Deposit Investment portfolio and Loan Lease amp Advances from year 2006 to 2010 After that I have made some ratio analysis of the companies and tried to find some relation among asset deposit and lease-loan portfolio using the correlation and regression analysis Finally I have given a brief case study on LankaBangla Finance Limited (LBFL) and drawn the conclusion on the present condition and future prospect of NBFI industry in our country

14 Significance of the Study

After completing the project I have gained some practical knowledge about the financial position of NBFIs in the economy of Bangladesh I think this report will be helpful for anyone to know about or to make further analysis on the Financial Institution Sector of our country

15 Limitations of the Study

I have faced the following limitations in the time of preparing the report 8 companies of the industry have not been selected for unavailability of data Different formats of Financial Statements followed by different companies created

some problem Some companies do not provide annual reports in their websites properly

Despite these limitations we have tried to give our best effort to prepare the report as properly as possible

30 BANGLADESH PROFILE

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

134 Data Collection amp ArrangementAfter selecting topic my plan for making this report was firstly to collect financial data about the 21 DSE Listed NBFIs and analyze them attentively for finding out the necessary information related to my report and finally to arrange all of those data systematically I have collected relevant financial information (Asset Liability Investment Profit etc) about those companies from the financial statements and notes given in their Annual Reports I have found some reports in the own websites of those companies and some in the library of DSE I have also collected different information from the website of DSE and Ministry of Finance (MOF)

Then I have input and arranged these data using Microsoft Excel Program according to the requirement of my analysis

135 Tools UsedAfter arranging the data properly I have used some tools to go ahead for analysis of the NBFI industry My used tools are

Compounded Annual Growth rate Formula Ratio Analysis Correlation-Coefficient Simple Linear Regression Analysis

136 Data AnalysisAt first I have shown Top 10 NBFIs according to both Market capital and Asset Size Then I have calculate compounded annual growth rate of Asset Deposit Investment portfolio and Loan Lease amp Advances from year 2006 to 2010 After that I have made some ratio analysis of the companies and tried to find some relation among asset deposit and lease-loan portfolio using the correlation and regression analysis Finally I have given a brief case study on LankaBangla Finance Limited (LBFL) and drawn the conclusion on the present condition and future prospect of NBFI industry in our country

14 Significance of the Study

After completing the project I have gained some practical knowledge about the financial position of NBFIs in the economy of Bangladesh I think this report will be helpful for anyone to know about or to make further analysis on the Financial Institution Sector of our country

15 Limitations of the Study

I have faced the following limitations in the time of preparing the report 8 companies of the industry have not been selected for unavailability of data Different formats of Financial Statements followed by different companies created

some problem Some companies do not provide annual reports in their websites properly

Despite these limitations we have tried to give our best effort to prepare the report as properly as possible

Development finance institutions Leasing companies Investment companies Modaraba companies

House finance companies Venture capital companies Discount amp guarantee houses Corporate development companies

25 Asset StructureIn financial accounting assets are economic resources Anything tangible or intangible that is capable of being owned or controlled to produce value and that is held to have positive economic value is considered an asset The balance sheet of a firm records the monetary value of the assets

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

100 FINDINGS amp RECOMENDATION91 Present Performance of NBFIs in Bangladesh

One important arena of NBFIs is the deployment of funds in the long term financing By

definition banking financial institutions should not involve in the long term financing and they

are the institutions related to the money market instruments and allowed to make only fully

collateral short term lending Bank business is based on the depositorsrsquo money Lending long is

risky because it creates least accountability to the borrowers Borrowing short and lending long

by the BFIs create a mismatch in the financial system and hamper the macroeconomic stability

Time lag between lending and borrowing of the commercial banks has leaded a maturity

mismatch as there is about 10 months average maturity gap between the deposit fund and loan

portfolio (BB FID) Again the interest rate charged by banks does not cover the total cost of

funds Before 1990 there was direct monetary control and the central bank administered the

interest rate for both deposit and credit After that although interest rates were not controlled by

the central bank commercial banks did not have such professionally ndashexpert personnel to assess the lending risk Banking sector in Bangladesh felt a lack of basic expertise which was needed

for the market-oriented approaches In the same way performance of the two public

Development Financial Institutions ( DFIs) namely BSB and BSRS are very unsatisfactory as

their non-performing loan is over 50 for the last several yearsThese issue demanded for a

sustainable basis for long term financing which is a major part of the NBFIs business by nature

However in Bangladesh the BFIs are still the principal sources of long term financing

accounted to about 70-80 term loan disbursement (BB FID) Before 80s there was no

alternative mode of long term lending other than the BFIs So BFIs were in a tremendous

pressure to provide long term financing for industrialization of the country After 80s there was

consensus among the government policymakers and international bodies to search an alternative

source Subsequently NBFIs have started to emerge in the financial system of Bangladesh

31 Term Financing by NBFIs

Term loan provided by the financial system of Bangladesh is about US$ 250-300 million per

year equivalent to around 15 of our GDP while the public and private investment amounts to

about 16 of GDP (FIDP working paper 1999) Without smooth long term lending system

industrial development of the country is not possible Analysis of the operational activities of the

NBFIs shows that many of them have strong participation in lease financing However though

leasing is considered as an alternative mode of long term lending NBFIs contribution to total

long term financing is still very small in amount As on December 31 2001 total financing of 25

licensed NBFIs stood Tk 212407 million (NBFIs-FRs) According to the statistics of BB 285

percent of the outstanding amounts of loansleases was found classified as bad debt as on June

30 2001 (BB 2002) 32 NBFIs Performance in Leasing

We discuss NBFIs performance in leasing specially in this section because of its some imposing

features though leasing are analyzed under the head of long term financing in this paper for many

times One important feature is that the leasing industries in Bangladesh have grown significantly

within the last 10 years Competition among the leasing industries has been intensified and this

competition in leasing business does not come only from the NBFIs but also from BFIs Many

commercial banks and other financial institutions like ICB (Investment Corporation of

Bangladesh) are participating in the leasing business The commercial banks are doing lease

business as EZARA under Section 7 DA(4) of the Bank Companies Act 1991 Commercial

banks are also taking advantage of their low costs of fund than the leasing companies In this

situation leasing companies have an argument that if banks are allowed to do lease business so

they should be permitted to do banking in a limited scale This type of agreement may not be

considered as good because it would create difficulties in the smooth functioning of these two

sectors

Table 2 shows the expansion of the leasing companies in lease market over the period of 1999 to

2001 During the period the number of participation of the completely local and private owned

companies has increased substantially from 3 to 8 whereas the joint venture between domestic

and foreign governmentcompanies remained stagnant in 10 The total number of participation of

NBFIs in leasing market has increased to 19 in the year 2001 which was 16 in 2000 and 13 in

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required

1999 The increasing number of participation in the leasing market has made the market more

competitive in last few years

An analysis of the financial position of various NBFIs shows that about 70 of the lease asset of

NBFIs is captured by 7 NBFIs namely IDLC ULCL PLC UFIL GSPFCL IPDC and ILFS Table 3 shows the efficiency of asset return in terms of Return on Asset (ROA) and Return on

Equity (ROE) ratios of 15 NBFIs These 15 NBFIs are selected on the basis of the higher lease

asset share among NBFIs as evident from their financial statements In some cases half yearly

data have been used due to unavailability of calendar year data However sufficient attention has

been given to the reliability of data and its sources Industrial averages have been calculated from

the sample because these 15 NBFIs capture major market share in leasing asset (about 97) in

this sector

From the table 3 we find that in the year 2000 and 2001 all major leasing companies have ROE

greater than the industry average In terms of ROA though some of them have the ratio lower

than the market average but many of them have done very well NBFIs like ULCL UFIL ILFS

GSPFCL were in better position in respect of ROA and ROE among the major companies

Higher ROA and ROE of major leasing industries suggest higher return on their investment and

shows a strong performance in their business as well as their expansion and contribution in the

economy of Bangladesh

Product diversification

The imposing picture of the lease industry in Bangladesh over a short period of time built up the

confidence that it could grow with our expected level Leasing should not be confined with some

selected sectors It should come with a view to financing small and medium scale enterprises

especially taking into considerations into the manufacturing enterprises forward and backward

linkage industries etc The leasing companies have a changing role with the liberalization of

capital and money market with a vision to increase investment and production of the economy

Particularly leasing sector in Bangladesh has identified the areas capital machinery heavy

construction equipment transport vehicles information technology (IT) energy and power

sector air conditioning plants and equipment tractors trailers power tillers consumer durables

etc as the potential for financing (Chowdhury A 2001) However leasing companies in

Bangladesh are confined with the less risky investment Leasing should be expanded to more

risky and higher return investment like venture capital energy resource etc In Japan leasing in

computers and office machinery captures more than two third of the market In Bangladesh

leasing companies can come forward to expand the IT sector and thereby can play a significant

role in the development of the economy

92 Suggested Alternative Activities of NBFIs in Bangladesh

(a) Exploring Alternative Sources of Funds

The finance and leasing companies across the world are using different sources for collecting fundsNBFIs in Bangladesh may also explore the possibilities of gaining access to new sources of funds likeissuance of commercial paper and discounting or sale of lease receivables However in releasing suchnew products some regulatory changes have to be made Another innovative and promising sourceof funds may be the securitisation of assets In this connection IPDC launched first asset backedsecurities in 2004 as an alternative source of funding This new instrument emerged as an importanttool and added a new dimension in the financial market The core attraction of this scheme was the

at the time of payment thereof whichever is earlier and this deduction was deemed to be finaldischarge of tax liability (Chowdhury 2005) But changes in taxation policy in 2005 by thegovernment have made the future of this instrument less attractive for the concerned financialinstitutions

(b) Competition and Product Diversification

NBFIs in Bangladesh are operating in a highly competitive environment The competition for NBFIs is evenmore challenging as they have to compete with banks Given the changes in the business environment theneed for product diversification is very important At present lease financing constitutes 55 percent of thetotal long term assets of NBFIs The remaining part concentrates mainly on term financing and housingfinance Some of NBFIs are primarily engaged in leasing some are also diversifying into other lines of business like merchant banking equity financing etc Currently 22 NBFIs (out of 29) specialize in leasefinancing NBFIs are permitted to undertake a wide array of activities and therefore should not confinethemselves to one or two types of product only Leasing no doubt presents a good alternative form of termfinancing but NBFIs should also venture into diversified use of their funds such as merchant bankingventure capital financing factoring etc for a healthy growth of the capital market

(c) Enhancing Capital Market Activities

NBFIs around the world carry out a significant role in the development of the capital market Stronginstitutional support is necessary for a vibrant capital market which is the core of economicdevelopment in any market based economic system NBFIs through their merchant banking wing canact in this regard A total of 30 companies are now listed as merchant banks in Bangladesh of which23 are full-fledged 6 are issue managers and only one is a portfolio manager Only nine NBFIs haveregistered with SEC for performing merchant banking activities But their activities in the capitalmarket are rather limited (

Financial Sector Review

Bangladesh Bank 2006) Active participation of merchant banks is essential to accelerate the capital market activities which can expedite the economicgrowth of the country The success of merchant banking operations is largely linked to the developmentof the security market So NBFIs should concentrate more on their opportunities in the capital market

(d) Issues of Taxation

The financing mode of lending and leasing are totally different from one another The concept andprocedure particularly the accounting and taxation system are also quite different So it is advisablenot to mix up the two different operations otherwise it might distort the basic financial norms As thetax treatment is totally different in leasing business mixing up of lending and leasing in the samebusiness portfolio might create the possibility of tax evasion (Sarker 2004)

(e) Market Segmentation

It has been discussed earlier that though banks and NBFIs compete with each other they can alsoperform complementary functions As suggested by Jamal (2004) and Sarker (2004) to function ascomplementary institutions both banks and NBFIs should follow some ethical and technical norms

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

Banks wishing to enter in the leasing business which is essentially a core operation of NBFIs shoulddo so through opening subsidiaries so that a level playing field for NBFIs can be maintained This isneeded as banks have access to lower cost funds compared to NBFIs which puts the former in anadvantageous position Alternatively banks can go for joint financing under syndication arrangementswith leasing companies on any project proposal Again banks can concentrate on working capitalfinance and foreign exchange operations which matches more with their asset-liability managementLong term investment like financing capital machineries can be done by NBFIs and in the event whenbanks want to engage in such activities they can place their funds with an NBFI to extend leasefacility for those machineries Jamal (2004) mentioned that this is important for two reasons ldquofirst incase of lease facility the machineries will remain under the ownership of leasing companies who willhave absolute authority and control on their assets Second machineries will be imported in the nameof a leasing company and letter of credit will be opened against its name So over invoicing or underinvoicing may be averted and thereby more transparency will be ensured and tax evasion may bepluggedrdquo

100 CONCLUSION

Emergence of NBFIs has created a new avenue in our bank dominance traditional financial

system Traditionally banks are doing such businesses that they are not supposed to do

Long

term lending of banks is mostly unfamiliar product for them and has created a serious

distortion

in the financial market Rather than gaining any benefit from such types of activities the

society

is now carrying the load of overwhelming default loans As leasing is considered as an

alternative of long term financing many NBFIs have strong performance in leasing

business

The performance of the NBFIs in leasing business suggests that the industry can be growing

up

in a sustainable basis But leasing must not be confined with selected sectors NBFIs have to

be

equipped with highly professional personnel and technological advancement to chase the

future

opportunities and competition as well

Page 16

Strong institutional support is necessary for the development of capital market which is the

core

of economic development in the market economic system NBFIs around the world provide

institutions support to the capital market In Bangladesh only 7 NBFIs are registered with

the

SEC and their activities in the capital market are very limited So NBFIs should concentrate

more on their activities in the capital market

NBFIs are suffering from high cost and scarcity of funds At present with high cost of fund

non-banks are forced to compete with the banks those have relatively low cost of fund This

situation somewhat hampers the growth and development of NBFIs For rapid growth and

development of this sector fund problem should be solved on a priority basis Opening of a

refinancing window even for a limited period of time may be considered after a strategic

evaluation Banking has the multifaceted own activities so that for bringing more efficiency

in

their own efficiency as well as the efficiency of the financial system they should not be involved

with the activities that the NBFIs can do It is recommended that government and the

central

bank will take initiatives to ease the fund constraint of NBFIs so that they can minimize

their

cost of fund and to bring their cost of fund at a market level NBFIs from their part shall be much

more attentive in rigorous project analysis to perform the loans well

A modern and dynamic regulatory framework is required for the rapid and effective development

of NBFIs The NBFIs are now regulated by the Fiancial Institutions Act 1993 and Financial

Institutions Regulations 1994 Some weaknesses of these regulations have been identified

NBFI

regulations should be the classification into deposit and non-deposit takers Those NBFIsrsquo

activities are involved with the capital market that is those obtain funds through public

offering

of securities should be under the regulatory jurisdiction of the Security and Exchange

Commission Bangladesh Bank has formulated and declared policies for classifying and

Page 17

provisioning of investment resources of NBFIs in June 2000 The classification rule has been

formulated with a view to judging quality of investment funds strengthening discipline in

lending and recovery securing peoplesrsquo deposit having provisions for the loss of

unrecoverable

invested funds and imposing interest against bad investment This classification procedure

will

definitely improve and promote the activities of NBFIs but the procedure is always subject

to

improvement with the diversification of products of NBFIs

Government of Bangladesh has already taken some important steps to patronize the sector

including allowance and pension and insurance fund to invest in the capital market

reduction of

stamp duties and taxes of issuing cost of bonds and imposition of 10 tax on interest

income

arising from national savings certificate Government has already initiated to build a

secondary

bond market with IMF assistance It will be better for NBF sector if the secondary bond

market

could be established on an urgent basis

The NBFIs should publish their annual report following a unique system It is good that BB have

simplified the rules and procedures for submission of returns to BB It is recommended that

BB

should include analysis of NBFIs sector in details in their periodical publications In this way

accountability on the activities of NBFIs can be established with more efficiency to the

stakeholders NBFIs deposit and credit should be accounted in the money supply for effective

monetary and credit management

In sum this paper mainly discusses and highlights some important aspects and areas of NBF

sector of Bangladesh that could receive much attention from policymakers There are many

problems in the development process of NBFIs and consequently strengthening the financial

system of Bangladesh It is now well established that NBFIs can contribute much in

strengthening the financial system as well as in the process of economic development of the

Page 18

country Since inception in 1986 NBFIs are some-what successful to draw attention of the

people and establish its importance in the financial sector as well as in the economy of

Bangladesh It is hoped that in future NBFIs would be able to play more significant role in

the

development of economy of Bangladesh Further research on the significance of their

contribution in the economy is required
