The banks play an important role in the economy of the country. Bangladesh Bank has been collecting, compiling and publishing statistics on scheduled banks for the use of researchers, planners and policy makers. The statistical tables contained in this issue have been prepared from the returns submitted by the individual bank branches of scheduled banks as on the last day of the quarter ending December 31, 2014. At the end of the period under study the total number of reported bank branches including Head Offices, Islamic Windows and SME service centers stood at 9,141, which contains only 76 branches of foreign banks. For useful presentation of data, banks have been classified into several groups viz. All Banks, State owned Banks, Specialised Banks, Foreign Banks, and Private Banks (Including Islamic Banks). A separate subgroup named as Islamic Banks has been introduced consisting of seven banks (Incorporated in Bangladesh), run on the basis of Islamic Sariah with effect from quarter January-March 1998. These banks are 1) Islamic Bank Bangladesh Ltd. 2) ICB Islamic Bank Ltd. 3) Al-Arafah Islami Bank Ltd. 4) Social Islami Bank Ltd. 5) EXIM Bank Ltd. 6) Shahjalal Islami Bank Ltd. 7) First Security Islami Bank Ltd. and 8) Union Bank Ltd.

From the very inception, the Scheduled Banks Statistics were being collected and published on quarterly basis. Later on since December, 1988 the data had been collected on half yearly basis and published on annual basis ending December every year. Subsequently, from December 1990 the data were collected on quarterly basis but published on annual basis. Then it was decided to publish again on quarterly basis from June 1992 and the present publication follows as a sequel to the change in the policy decision. The role of agricultural credit in fostering the economy of the country has gained importance nowadays. To this end in mind agricultural credit statistics time series data were collected and presented pertaining to the period from 1984-85 to 2014-15 (up to December 31, 2014). The figures published in this booklet may differ from those contained in the statement of position of Scheduled Banks released each week by the Bangladesh Bank due to difference in timing and coverage. From the quarter July-September, 2013 the Scheduled Banks were instructed to follow the Guidelines to Fill in the Banking Statistics Returns SBS-1, SBS-2 & SBS-3 fifth edition, published in July 2013. In this brochure, all statistical tables have been prepared on the basis of returns, submitted by the scheduled banks as per the booklet, published in July 2013. For taking into account, the remittances (in Foreign Currency) by the Wage earners abroad, two types of deposits: 1) Wage Earners & 2) Resident Foreign Currency have been introduced from the quarter ending on December, 2001. iii

It is mentioned that the transaction of the branches in municipal area is treated as urban area transaction (deposits or advances as the case may be) while the transaction of the branches located out-side the municipal area is regarded as rural area transaction (deposits or advances). Table 14 to 19: Distributed by Sectors and Types: These Tables provide a break up of deposits by different sectors of deposits mentioned in the paragraph number two. Table 20 to 25: Distributed by Rates of Interest/Profit and Types: These tables show the rates of interest allowed by the scheduled banks on different types of deposits.

Table 26 to 31: Distributed by Size of Accounts: The Statistics of number of Accounts and corresponding amount falling within specified groups are not based exclusively on individual accounts. As the number of accounts is considerably large, the respondents have the option to combine the accounts and amount in such cases when the types of deposits, the category of depositors and the rates of interest allowed thereon are the same. In such cases it is not the actual size of components but the average size of the group that determines the class to which it belongs. Notwithstanding the existence of an element of statistical errors, it is v
believed that the estimates would not differ significantly from the actual position. Table 32: Distributed by Size of Accounts and Sectors: The Tables provide a break up of deposits by size of accounts and sector. Table 33: Distributed by Selected Thanas: The statistics show the distribution of deposits in the leading thanas of the country and those have been presented in the descending order of magnitude of deposits. Table 34: Debits to Accounts and Turnover: The table shows debits to various types of deposit accounts during the period under review. This also includes co-efficient of turnover by relating debits to average amounts of deposits. Table 35 to 40: Advances Classified by Securities: These tables show the break-up of scheduled banks advances (excluding interbank) by types of securities pledged or hypothecated. Table 41 to 46: Advances Classified by Economic Purposes: These tables show the advances made by scheduled banks to different economic purposes for which the borrowers borrow. If a borrower pursues more than one profession the classification is done in accordance with his major calling. Table 47 to 52: Advances Classified by Rates of Interest and Securities: These tables give the rates of interest charged by the scheduled banks on various types of securities as well as clean advances. Advances to Zero rate of interest mostly represent (a) Advances to bank s own employees (b) Classified advances (Bad/ Loss) (c) Advances associated with clearing disputes etc. Table 53: Advances Classified by Selected Thanas: This table shows the classification of advances in the leading thanas of the country and those have been presented in the descending order of magnitude of advances. Table 54: Advances Classified by Size of Accounts and Economic Groups: The table provides statistics on advances classified by size of accounts and economic groups. The respondents can group those accounts together where the securities, the economic purpose, the category of borrowers and the rates of interest are the same. As a result the size of distribution suffers from a similar limitation as its analogy in deposits. Table 55 to 60: Advances Classified by Size of Accounts: These tables provides statistics on advances classified by size of accounts. Table 61: Advances Classified by Major Economic Purposes and Sectors: The table provides a break-up of advances classified by major economic purposes to public and private sectors.
