  3. MESSAGES FROM THE HOLY QUR ’AN Those who take Riba (usury) will not stand (on the day of Resurrection) except like the standing of a person beaten by Shaitan (Satan) leading him to insanity. That is because they say: “Trading is only like Riba (usury),” whereas Allah has permitted trading and forbidden Riba (usury). So, whosoever receives an admonition from his Lord and stops eating Riba (usury) shall not be punished for the past; his case is for Allah (to judge); but, whoever returns [to Riba (usury)], such are the dwellers of the Fire they will abide therein forever. Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse-275 Allah will destroy Riba (usury) and will give increase for Sadaqaat (deeds of charity, alms, etc.) And Allah likes not the disbelievers, sinners. Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse-276 O you who believe! Be afraid of Allah and give up what remains (due to you) from Riba [(usury) (from now onward)], if you are (really) believers. Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse-278 And if you do not do it then take a notice of war from Allah and His Messenger; but if you repent, you shall have your capital sums. Deal not unjustly (by asking more than your capital sums), and you shall not be dealt with unjustly (by receiving less than your capital sums). Surah Al-Baqarah, Verse-279
  5. ADVANCING IN ADVERSITIES The world witnessed an unprecedented calamity in the year 2020 .

  22. 20 FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENT Industry Forward-looking statements are usually based on hypothesis as well as certain conditions and changes that might impact on business . Our forward-looking statement of Annual Report 2021 has involved numerous assumptions, inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific as well as predictions. These factors include, but are not limited to, volatility of profit rates, capital markets instability, changes for CRR and SLR norm, changes in corporate taxation, changes in national political and socio-economic conditions, changes in government policies and unpredictable COVID-19 situation etc. Hence forwardlooking statements may not prove to be always true in course of time. Hence forward-looking statements may not prove to be always true in course of time. Readers are cautioned, not to consider our forward looking statement as something universal or unalterable since any change of national and global scenario is beyond our control. The bank will not stand accountable to update the amended information in the Annual Report once it is already published. OUTLOOK OF BANKING INDUSTRY FOR 2021 Though many critically important macroeconomic indicators evince signs of a turnaround, both private and public investment-related indicators had remained subdued. Indeed, the economy may need more time to recover fully. Bangladesh’s economic recovery is expected to be driven by Government’s stimulus package the varying speed of implementation of the various liquidity support packages has created an unequal turnaround as bigger firms have rebounded more strongly, owing to quick access to liquidity packages, while smaller firms have been left behind. Excess liquidity in the banking sector has nearly doubled from February 2020 to February 2021 and it led to fall in the profit/interest rates. Excess liquidity is also a sign that the demand for loans/investments is low, which is likely since the real economy is still experiencing the repercussions of the Covid-19 shock. Lower appetite of loan/investment may reduce spread/margin further. As the second wave of COVID-19 in Europe and North America is still on, bleak performance of country’s foreign trade business would continue and it hit banks profitability as it is the key source of banks’ fee, commission & exchange gain business. Investment/loan defaulters access to two of the largest liquidity support packages may lead to a rise in NPLs/NPIs in the post-Covid-19 period. Due to the year-long moratorium on loan/Investment classification in 2020, NPLs/NPIs may lead to a rise in coming quarter. Digitalization in retail banking service has become imperative particularly for the emergence of Covid-19 time. Future of banking industry largely has to depend on Tech based banking. ANNUAL REPORT 2020
  23. 21 OUTLOOK OF SJIBL 2021 Increasing investment portfolio cautiously without compromising on the quality to avert risk . Optimizing Bank’s capital structure through injection of additional Tier-1 capital for sustainable growth and maximization of value of shareholder’s equity.

  46. 44 CELEBRATION OF MUJIB BORSHO One hundred years ago , the undisputed king of Bangladesh Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was born on 17 March 1920 in a remote village of Tungipara, Gopalganj District. He showed the potential of leadership since his school life. From a very tender age, Mujib strived to work for issues that mattered to him, hankering one cause after another. He was crowned with the title of “Bangabandhu” and remembered as a dedicated man of the people. The most popular word Mujib is synonymous with the national identity of Bangladesh. Sheikh Mujibur Rahman was always well-governed and this made him uniquely qualified to govern others, even when compared with the intellectual luminaries of that intellectually luminous generation. So, with that in mind, and in honor of the Founding Father, SJIBL as a patriotic corporate entity of Bangladesh celebrated his100th birth anniversary in full festive mood in the year 2020. 100 Birth Year Celebration of “Mujib Borsho” Father of the Nation of Bangladesh, Bangabandhu Sheik Mujibur Rahman was celebrated with due respect through year long various programs nationally and internationally. The countdown for the celebration’s opening had started on January 10, 2020 coinciding with Bangabandhu’s homecoming in 1972 from a Pakistan jail after the 1971 Liberation War. The whole Bangladesh celebrated 100 Birth Year of “Mujib Borsho” Father of the Nation of Bangladesh, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman. As a responsible bank, we always love to contribute to make the memorable event so blissful. As a token of love for our Father of the Nation of Bangladesh, we have put a small effort donating BDT 100 million to Bangabandhu Memorial Trust, to be a part of this grand celebration.

  53. 51 Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim Dear shareholders , Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuhu. It is a great pleasure and honor to welcome you to the 20th Annual General Meeting of Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited. On behalf of the Board of Directors and myself, I would like to express sincere thanks and gratitude for your ongoing trust in the Bank as we navigate difficult times. We hope you and your families are staying healthy and safe. The economy is in a slump, but there are signs of improvement and reasons to be optimistic We have seen a global pandemic and the worst economic downturn since the 1930s’ Great Depression. The world’s major economies were severely jolted. The pandemic continues to have a profound impact around the world. The previous year has been a difficult one for Bangladesh as well. However, it has fared better than most other countries in dealing with health and economic challenges. Indeed, the year 2020 ended with a slowdown in economic growth, a significant shortfall in revenue mobilization, a disruption in the pace of implementation of public investment projects, an escalation of the budget deficit, a slowdown in private sector credit growth, and a sharp drop in trade. The impact of Covid-19 was particularly evident during the last quarter (April-June) of FY2020 when the economic activities were severely disrupted in the backdrop of the lock-down declared by the government. However, many key macroeconomic indicators have recently shown signs of improvement. Production of manufacturing industries and electricity has posted a rise and VAT collection has registered a positive growth rate. Domestic demand has resisted the recovery much better than private and public investment indicators, which have remained subdued. Indeed, the economy may require additional time to fully recover. Banking Sector makes the way Banks have a crucial role to play in implementing Covid-19related stimulus packages announced by the government since the major portion of these packages is in the form of liquidity support through the commercial banks. This is indeed a huge responsibility on the banks. It was feared that the banking sector would face a doublewhammy, stemming from Covid-19 and lending rate cap. But at the end of 2020, it shows a different picture with two major performance indicators – profitability and loan/Investment recovery – being far better than expected. Though the decline in NPL/NPI was driven by the loan moratorium and the prohibition on banks downgrading loans until December 2020, which delayed the recognition of NPLs. Non-performing loans will rise in the coming quarters as the credit moratorium period expires and borrowers’ repayment capacity weakens as a result of the coronavirus shock. The real challenge will be this year as the payment holiday has been lifted. The depressed private sector credit growth is another big challenge because banks could not lend even at 5% as businessmen have cash in hand due to one-year payment deferral. The safety of our employees and the well-being of our clients Throughout our COVID-19 response, our priority was the health and safety of our people; all staff, our valued clients, and the communities that keep our operations running smoothly. The steadfast commitment of our people has helped to keep our operations running safely and continue to contribute to the economy. We recorded no fatalities at our operations during the year. When the pandemic struck, we had the financial strength and agility to implement our emergency plans and make the rapid changes required to keep our people safe and healthy while keeping our operations running. Despite working through some of history’s most difficult periods, Shahjalal Islami Bank has demonstrated that our strong persona of resilience, robustness, and agility is the key to staying one step ahead of customer expectations. Financial performance: Exhibit resilience SJIBL’s strong balance sheet and unwavering focus on key areas position us to weather downturns and unforeseen problems like the COVID-19 outbreak while also delivering strong financial results in 2020. It was an arduous task for the Board and Management of the Bank to steer it in the right direction towards stability. By the grace of almighty Allah, we have been maintaining sustainability in all areas of business and maintained a sustainable position in terms of liquidity, capital adequacy, asset quality, earnings, and profitability. The bank has been able to secure an indispensable position in the banking sector of the country because of its commitment and customer-focused cordial services. There has been tremendous support from our valued customers, prudent guidance, and bold leadership from the Board of Directors, and tireless efforts of the Management team which helped to accomplish our journey. In order to protect asset quality, the bank also followed prudent policies regarding non-performing investments. All these measures resulted in our year-end performance being below the originally envisaged target. However, it is encouraging that our actual results achieved for the financial year are more than the revised forecast as was projected by the management during the early days of lock-downs. However, the backdrop of profit rate cap on investment and COVID-19 induced effects on economic activities and the pressure on Net Profit Margins had an inevitable negative impact on the Bank’s financial results for the year 2020. But Shahjalal Islami Bank exhibits resilience at its bottom line profit performance. Though our operating profit declined by 30.18% to Tk. 4,095 million, but Net Profit After Tax increased by 11.06% to Tk.1,908 million for the year ended 31st December 2020. Similarly, the Bank’s Return on Average Equity (ROE) increased from 10.98% as of 31st December 2019 to 11.08% as of 31st December 2020, while our Return on Average Assets (ROA) increased to 0.68% during the same period, from 0.67% as at the end of 2019. Net asset value (NAV) stood at Tk. 17,949 million in 2020, whereas it was Tk.16,507 million in 2019. In 2020, our earnings per share (EPS) stood at Tk. 1.95 whereas it was Tk. 1.75 during the previous year. However, there is no room for complacency and we must continue to strive for exceptional safety and performance every day. Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited

The dramatic change in the business environment arising from the pandemic will not hinder us from keeping our promise to you, our shareholder, and it is with a sense of pride I report that Shahjalal Islami Bank did not forego any obligations to any stakeholder, least of all, our valued customers and the Team, who are the lifeblood of the Bank. Based on the reactions and feedback received from our customers – corporates, SMEs and retails – we are confident that Shahjalal Islami Bank responded effectively and promptly to customer needs during this time of crisis.

The poor meritorious students are selected based on their outstanding results in Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) Examinations. We also undertake various philanthropic activities/efforts throughout the year on an ongoing basis. We are committed to remaining responsible for carrying out our CSR activities within the organization, society, and across the country. Each year we increase the volume of investment in CSR over a year before as a socially responsible organization to stakeholders. In 2020, total CSR was Tk.323 Million that is a 46.82% growth in philanthropy compared to last year. Appreciations In 2020, Shahjalal Islami Bank received a number of awards and recognitions from prestigious international and domestic organizations for its outstanding performance. Global and regional recognitions for our best work, accountability, transparency, and good governance have come from GIFA International, International Finance Magazine, South Asian Federation of Accountants (SAFA), and local bodies such as Bangladesh Bank, ICAB, ICSB, and ICMAB, to name a few. Our vision is to be a premier Islamic banking institution in the country and to contribute significantly to the national economy; it was adopted with remarkable foresightedness at the time of the inception of the Bank. We strive to achieve further excellence in our culture of corporate governance and compliance of all statutory bodies as well as promote professionalism in our workforce; we believe these are the foundations of sustainable
  55. 53 development of our institution . Transparency and Accountability Corporate governance is important for an organization’s longterm sustainability. Transparency and accountability have been built into all aspects of Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited’s operations. The duties and responsibilities are appropriately segregated between the Board and the management to provide sufficient check and balance and flexibility for smooth business operations. The Board provides policy guidelines and directions to the management, approves strategic and major policy decisions, and oversees the management to attain business goals. The audit committee reviews the internal control & compliance process, the internal audit reports and related compliances of Bangladesh Bank, while the Risk Management Committee reviews the risk areas and overall risk management process/systems of the Bank. The Statutory Auditors were given absolute freedom in the process of audit and verification of the compliance, risk management and Financial Statements prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standards (IAS) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). As a result, we are committed to being a role model in the corporate industry by adhering to the best practices of Corporate Governance in our bank. The Bank has also emphasized the importance of adhering to all rules, regulations, and guidelines issued by the Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC), Bangladesh Bank, and other regulatory bodies. Future Outlook There exists a significant degree of uncertainty in terms of how the COVID-19 pandemic will progress and is dependent upon the efforts to contain the virus and its longer-term effects. The economic growth in the year 2021, and perhaps even in 2022, will depend on the evolution of the pandemic in Bangladesh and the rest of the world. The future outlook for the banking industry will also be determined by the same. A key takeaway from among the numerous lessons the banking industry as a whole learned during the pandemic is that banking as we know it may not be the norm for the foreseeable future. A large part of our strategy moving forward will focus on the lessons learned during 2020 and will be formulated with particular emphasis on growth, costs and risks. We must strive to create opportunities out of challenging conditions. We are promise bound to strengthen our position in the industry regarding asset quality, innovative banking products, and services, profitability, and compliance. We will explore all our activities by ensuring better risk management, developing the quality of human resources, and improving the corporate governance system. Insha-Allah we will maximize the value for all stakeholders in the coming days. Acknowledgment Honorable Shareholders are the source of inspiration for the bank. I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all shareholders and valued customers of Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited. I also express thanks and gratitude to the Ministry of Finance, Bangladesh Bank, Bangladesh Securities & Exchange Commission (BSEC), Dhaka Stock Exchange Limited, Chittagong Stock Exchange Limited, Registrar of Joint Stock Companies & Firms and National Board of Revenue for their very effective guidance and continued support.

  56. 54 REVIEW FROM THE DESK OF MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO M Shahidul Islam Managing Director & CEO Digital innovations are transforming economies and financial ecosystems worldwide. Customers are demanding banking that is simple, functional, reliable, and seamless. Hence, SJIBL has continued its operations towards digitization in terms of automation and system security adopting new technology across the Bank. ANNUAL REPORT 2020
  57. 55 Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim , It’s a great privilege to present to you the performance of Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited for the year 2020. I would normally address our accomplishments of the preceding year, which were many in 2020. We stepped into the year 2020 with high hopes and deep aspirations for a better year, but witnessed an unusual situation due to the heavy blow from the sudden COVID-19 outbreak, since March of the last calendar year. This pandemic has spread in every corner of the world and hindered habitual life completely. Productivity, trade operation, movements of capital, industrial inputs & outputs remained completely stagnant, and the economy was facing mounting downward pressure. The coronavirus was first identified in Wuhan, China in December 2019, and it has since spread worldwide leading to an ongoing pandemic. In this situation, the government of Bangladesh declared a “lock-down” throughout the nation from 26 March to 30 May 2020 to protect the people from this contagious disease. During the nationwide lock-down, millions lost jobs, the income of the majority of the population contracted and the businesses folded up. The banking sector was also affected. It is observed that due to economic slowdown domestically and globally, demand for both short and long term financing declined substantially. Export hits rock bottom as the importing countries themselves were finding it difficult to keep the economies afloat. To protect the people and the economy, the government rolled out a massive Tk.124,000 crore stimulus package representing 4.30% of total GDP. The robust inflow of remittance lifted the country’s foreign exchange reserves to record highs and put the country on a firm footing. Initially, the sector has successfully met the cash flow challenges in the economy during the lock-down period with some regulatory relaxation in policy rates, i.e., CRR, IDR. Due to the decline of investment appetite and the flow of deposits, deposit rates have been sharply reduced to meet the pressure of surplus deposits. The rate of Bond, Treasury Bill, Call Money and Repo has been reduced substantially, which makes it difficult for treasury operations of the Bank. Government borrowing from the banking sector during 2020 was reduced dramatically. The banking sector is the key player in the economic activities of a country. At the moment, the sector is fighting the situation caused by COVID-19 and supporting the government efforts for handling the crisis. During the strict lock-down, the period when operations in almost all sectors had come to a standstill, banks and other financial institutions continued their operations to ensure the flow of money in the economy. The banking sector has also played a crucial role in distributing the government’s various fiscal stimulus packages. The reopening of the economy in June 2020 was a very bold move and proved to be a judicious one, as the COVID-19 outbreak did not go out of control. The food production, remittance, the stimulus package, the reopening, and the quick uptick in domestic demand and exports put the country on the path of recovery. A surplus in the balance of payment, one of the major indicators of the economy, has been steadily increasing during the pandemic. The big surplus was triggered by the rise in remittance inflow and a dip in import costs. Bangladesh’s GDP growth, which has averaged around 8 percent during the past few years, has been disrupted hugely by the outbreak of COVID-19. However, Bangladesh is set to post the third-highest growth in the world and the highest in Asia in 2020, according to the IMF despite the pandemic. The economy is recovering, but it is not yet back on track to faster and sustainable growth with investments still depressed and external demand wavering. The country’s export is far away from the pre COVID-19 level as the country’s most important markets such as the US and Europe are under threat. In fiscal 2019-20, the import costs dropped 8.56 percent from the previous year. It came down further in the first quarter of 2020-21 due to the corona pandemic. Despite numerous challenges faced in 2020 due to the pandemic, SJIBL achieved planned growth in business and operations during 2020. We have produced impressive results in 2019 and also in the first quarter of 2020. During the period under review, the Bank had been instructed to fix a maximum 9 percent ceiling on the lending rate by Bangladesh Bank which came into force on April 1, 2020. The implementation of the rate adversely affected operating profit in the year 2020. Income from both profit and non-profit sources had a sharp fall due to reduced international trade, foreign exchange dealing and transaction services. Furthermore, excess liquidity and lower appetite along with slow disbursement also affected operational profit in the year 2020. However, considering the capping of the profit rate and the consequence of corona virus in the economy, management revised the profit target for the year 2020. Despite all odds, uncertainties and challenges, we achieved our revised targets by utilizing our strong network, commitment from the employees and operational efficiency. During 2020, we have focused our activities and strategies to become a more resilient, more reliable and customer-oriented institution while keeping abreast of positive growth attaining our well-devised targets in key business areas. SJIBL earned operating profit Tk. 4,095 million which is 9% higher than the revised target and 30% lower than the previous year’s target. The investment portfolio stood at Tk. 196,513 million at the end of 2020. During the year, every effort has been taken to reduce the cost of deposit and at the end of the year the cost of deposit stood at 4.98%. During the year 2020, the performance of the import and export business of the Bank was satisfactory, taking into account the adverse effects of the pandemic. In 2020 import business stood at Tk. 148,469 million as compared to the volume of Tk. 157,060 million in 2019 which decreased by 5.47%. Export business amounted to Tk. 133,580 million as against Tk. 147,052 million in the preceding year, which decreased by 9.16%. Our position regarding fee-based income during the year is satisfactory. During the lock-down, all our AD branches were functional and served our valued RMG client to cater to their export business. As of December 31, 2020, the total assets of the Bank stood at Tk. 293,518 million registering an increase of 10.35% over December 31, 2019. Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE) were 0.68% and 11.08% respectively as of year-end 2020. The Capital Adequacy Ratio of the Bank was calculated at 14.19%, which was above the regulatory requirements. Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited

We have built a strong relationship with the better-rated corporate business house and continue to focus on gaining a higher share of the working capital business. In the SME segment, we have been cautious and focused on building relationships with highly rated SME customers. We want to diversify our portfolio with quality investment against hard collaterals. During the year, we further strengthened our systems and processes to ensure that we respond quickly to early warning signals in our portfolio. During the year 2020, special attention has been paid in effort to increase SME and Retail investment portfolios to a considerable amount within the next two/three years. SJIBL strongly believes that the SME sector is one of the main driving forces of economic growth, having huge potential for socio-economic development. Furthermore, consumer banking also plays an important role in the economic activities of the country. The outstanding SME investment as of 31 December 2020 stood at Tk. 72,573 million and retail investment stood at Tk. 8,999 million. One of the all-time top priorities of the Bank is to curb NPIs by maintaining quality assets and recovery of default investments. Investment monitoring and relationship management were streamlined further to regularize and reduce non-performing investments. Early Warning System (EWS) has been emphasized so that precautionary action can be taken against vulnerable assets. In this respect, the Investment Monitoring Department has been established. Above all, proper monitoring and a strong recovery drive from the branches and the Special Asset Management Division of the corporate office have been intensified to maintain the quality of the assets. As a result of collective efforts, NPI of the Bank reduced to Tk. 8,973 million from Tk. 9,687 million representing 4.57% of investment portfolio which was 4.91% in the previous year. Risk management is an integral ingredient of internal governance involving all areas of operations of the Bank. It is an essential part of helping the Bank to grow and promote sustainability and resilience. Hence, SJIBL has developed a sound Risk Management Framework (RMF) so that the multifaceted risks assumed by the Bank are properly projected, assessed, monitored and addressed incessantly. Under the RMF and in accordance with the guidelines of Bangladesh Bank, the Risk Management Division (RMD) of the Bank monitors total activities in this regard. Based on observations and suggestions of RMD to the Senior Management, the Bank takes necessary measures and actions to restrict and reduce risk exposures, to absorb any unusual shock and financial stress towards the Bank. Digital innovations are transforming economies and financial ecosystems worldwide. Customers are demanding banking that is simple, functional, reliable, and seamless. Hence, SJIBL has continued its operations towards digitization in terms of automation and system security adopting new technology across the Bank. Since its inception, the Bank has been providing online, real-time any-branch service. Our Head Office, all branches and sub-branches of the Bank are supported by a fully integrated, centralized system; all the components of the system are interconnected through an Application Programming Interface (API).
  59. 57 COVID-19 has changed customer behavior and a gamechanger for digital payment in Bangladesh due to the need for contactless payment . Although the pandemic has decreased trade and commerce throughout the country, the rise in digital payments indicates that more and more people have shifted to digital payment services for their business and day-to-day activities. There has been a considerable growth in the number of customers in both mobile financial services and internet banking. Digital financial services have penetrated the rural population too. The Bank has been agile and responsive to the ever-changing situation. We have made good progress on our Digital Banking initiative started last year. SJIBL has already introduced appbased internet banking, ‘SJIBL Net’ to ensure customer services anytime-anywhere. It is expected that within a short span of time our valued customers will be able to open an account from anywhere using our ‘e-Account’ platform. All the technological and operational infrastructures have been put in place for this service to go live. New opportunities for digitalization abound as do new risks to data security and compliance. To safeguard the Bank’s IT assets from cyber-attacks and fraudulent activities, we are taking all necessary precautionary measures to tackle the situation. We are also working on upgrading the current core banking solution to enhance our operational efficiency which will lead to a better customer experience. The Bank has given the emphasis on alternate delivery channels to facilitate our customers round the clock transactions. In addition to 10,000 plus shared ATMs, the bank installed 110 own ATMs across the country, and the number is growing gradually. In 2019, following the concept of Wakalah, launched Shariahbased EMV Complied-Chip based Secured Dual Currency Credit Card to provide convenient and flexible banking services to the clients. Each cardholder can conduct anytime, anywhere cashless transaction through the credit card without any hassle. This unique card has discounts of various rates and EMI Facilities with a 0% Profit rate at selective merchants as well. Our Credit Card is attracting customers increasingly for its convenience and shariah compliance. In 2020, to serve our valued customers round the clock, we have launched a 24x7 ‘Call Centre’ which is reachable at 16302. Through the Call Centre, we answer queries, listen to complaints and suggestions, fix immediate problems, provide product information round the clock. Compliance and discipline have been injected into the core of the Bank’s operations and value system, that are instrumental in creating the image of the Bank. The matter of compliance is looked after by our Internal Control & Compliance and Shariah Inspection Division. They are playing a pivotal role in ensuring regulatory and shariah compliance through their routine inspections. In 2020, all the branches were audited by both divisions. These audits do not only cover the assessment of financial transactions and operational activities of the branches but also minimized the cases of Shariah non-compliance, and consequently the doubtful income. SJIBL is not only profit oriented, rather it believes in 3P philosophy, i.e., “People – Planet – Profit”. With that understanding, SJIBL, through its Foundation, always extends cooperation and generously comes forward for serving humanity through different welfare activities giving due emphasis on health, habitat and education. Being a socially responsible corporate body, SJIBL continued its CSR activities throughout the year. During the year 2020, the Bank spent an amount of Tk, 323.48 million as CSR which covers involvement in charities, scholarship programs and different events for the overall betterment of the nation. Many more welfare activities and institutional development programs will be drawn in the future, Insha-Allah to the cause of serving the communities and the whole country. During the lock-down phase implemented by the government, our branches were operational across the country. I am immensely proud of those who worked during the lock-down fearlessly from the branch and served the customers in their most difficult times. We have taken the health and safety measures for our employees and our customers very seriously. Since early March 2020, we have been preparing our response to COVID-19 which accelerated after receiving Bangladesh Bank instruction. Our “Quick Response Team” has taken adequate measures from time to time following the guidelines of the Director General of Health Department and World Health Organization. We have provided face masks, face shields, protective dresses for front desk officers and also adequate hand sanitizer for both employees and customers. We have disinfected the branch quickly whenever any employee of that branch is found infected. SJIBL has published guidelines on Corona Virus for its employees. Considering the safety of the employees, the Bank also arranged Oxygen cylinders to meet emergency purposes. Our Medical Officer provided medical advice round the clock during the high time of COVID-19. The senior management team maintained regular contact with the employees to boost morale in case of infection. Health insurance proves to be immensely helpful during the difficult period of COVID-19. The Bank achieved several prestigious awards from national and international reputed organizations during 2020. Among the awards, GIFA international awards are the most prestigious global awards in the field of Islamic banking.

ANNUAL REPORT 2020 My sincere appreciation to the Board of Directors for their unstinted cooperation over the year. They have taken a keen interest in the affairs of the Bank and formulation of policies and had been an immense source of support and guidance to me during the year. I thank them for their unmatched guidance and counsel extended to me throughout the recent adversity.

  61. 59 REPORT OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS In the name of Allah The Most Gracious , the Most Merciful Dear Shareholders, Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah Wa Barakatuhu. The Board of Directors is pleased to welcome you all to the 20th Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited. We are delighted to present before you the Directors’ Report and Audited Financial Statements together with Auditors’ Report of the Bank for the year ended on 31 December 2020. We have also provided a brief description of the performance and financial position of the Bank for the same year as well as various aspects of the world economy and Bangladesh economy. World Economy COVID-19 caused a global recession whose depth was surpassed only by the two World Wars and the Great Depression in the past century and a half. Although global economic activity is growing again, it is not likely to return to business as usual in the foreseeable future. The pandemic has caused a severe loss of life, is tipping millions into extreme poverty, and is expected to inflict lasting scars that push activity and income well below their pre-pandemic trend for a prolonged period. The incipient recovery was supported by a partial easing of stringent lock-downs. Various restrictive measures have been reintroduced, however, as COVID-19 has continued to spread around the world. Some areas have experienced a sharp resurgence of infections, and daily new cases remain high. That said, there has been substantial progress in the development of effective vaccines, and inoculation has begun in some countries. A more general rollout in advanced economies and major emerging market and developing economies (EMDEs) is expected to proceed early this year. Most other EMDEs, however, face greater constraints in vaccine procurement and distribution. Until vaccines are widely distributed, effective containment strategies to limit the spread of COVID-19 remain critical. In all, the global economy is estimated to have contracted 4.3 percent in 2020 In advanced economies, the initial contraction was less severe than anticipated, but the ensuing recovery has been dampened by a substantial resurgence of 2.9 2.0 2014 3.8 2.9 2.3 2015 4.2 2.6 1.7 2016 3.2 4.5 2.4 2017 3.0 4.3 2.2 2.4 2018 3.5 1.6 2020 2019 -2.5 4.2 4.6 3.8 4.2 3.5 3.9 2021 2022 -5.2 -7.0 World Prospects for the global economy are uncertain, and several growth outcomes are possible. In the baseline forecast, global GDP is expected to expand 4 percent in 2021, predicated on proper pandemic management and effective vaccination limiting the community spread of COVID-19 in many countries, as well as continued monetary policy accommodation accompanied by diminishing fiscal support. Global Trade Global trade collapsed last year as border closures and supply disruptions interrupted the international provision of goods and services. Goods trade fell more rapidly and recovered more swiftly than during the global financial crisis, while services trade remains depressed. Relative strength in manufacturing, alongside persistent weakness in services, reflects the unusual nature of the recession, which has shifted consumption patterns toward goods and away from services requiring face-to-face interactions. The recovery in global merchandise trade has also benefited from the resilience of global value chains to supply disruptions.

Meanwhile, output in China is estimated to have rebounded last year at a faster-than-expected clip, with particular support from infrastructure spending. China’s strength was an exception, however, and disruptions from the pandemic in the majority of other EMDEs were more severe than previously envisioned, resulting in deeper recessions and slower recoveries, especially in countries with recent large COVID-19 outbreaks. Advanced economies EMDEs Source: World Bank Most commodity prices rebounded in the second half of last year; however, the pickup in oil prices lagged the broader recovery in commodity prices due to the prolonged impact of the pandemic on global oil demand. Crude oil prices averaged $41/bbl in 2020, a 34 percent fall from 2019. Oil demand fell 9 percent last year—the steepest one-year decline on record—as a result of pandemic-control measures and the associated plunge in global demand, Oil prices are forecast to remain close to current levels and average $44/ bbl in 2021 before rising to $50/bbl in 2022.

The baseline forecast is subject to several risks. The spread of the pandemic could accelerate, particularly if the vaccination process is delayed, and economic weakness and impaired banking systems may lead to financial crises. In the medium term, the crisis may lower global potential output as a result of lasting damage to health, education, and balance sheets.

Financial conditions are generally loose, as suggested by low borrowing costs, abundant credit issuance, and a recovery in equity market valuations amid positive news about vaccine development. This masks rising underlying vulnerabilities, however, including rising debt levels and weakening bank balance sheets. Banks’ capital buffers are under pressure due to falling profitability and asset quality deterioration. Defaults have already surged in the hardest-hit sectors and countries, and rising credit downgrades point to further strains in the future. Global Foreign Direct Investment Global foreign direct investment (FDI) collapsed in 2020, falling 42% from $1.5 trillion in 2019 to an estimated $859 billion, according to UNCTAD. Such a low level was last seen in the 1990s and is more than 30% below the investment trough that followed the 2008-2009 global financial crisis. Despite projections for the global economy to recover in 2021 – albeit hesitant and uneven – UNCTAD expects FDI flows to remain weak due to uncertainty over the evolution of the COVID-19 pandemic. The organization had projected a 5-10% FDI slide in 2021 in last year’s World Investment Report. $13B -77% $229B -69% $859B -42% Develoved Economics $616B -12% Transi�on Economics Source: UNCTAD ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Bangladesh economy faced Covid-19 pandemic-induced challenges in every economic sector. In this backdrop , the government of Bangladesh and Bangladesh Bank took a series of timely and appropriate initiatives such as stimulus packages of more than BDT 1.21 trillion, policy relaxations, low cost refinance schemes, etc., among others, to support weaker segments of the economy and to ensure sufficient liquidity in the banking system. Due to government efforts combined with the hard work of the people, the Bangladesh economy has been less affected compared to other countries during the pandemic. Aided by those prompt policy initiatives, the economic recovery of Bangladesh remained at the forefront among the neighboring South Asian economies and attained a 5.2 percent growth rate. Agricultural Sector Global FDI in 2020 Developing Economics Bangladesh - just like the rest of the world has and more so as an emerging economy - faced tough challenges - often having to choose between saving lives and preserving livelihoods. Prior to the outbreak of the pandemic in 2020, the Bangladesh economy was somewhat under stress due to the weak performance of a few economic indicators such as exports, imports, private investment, foreign direct investment, and revenue mobilization. Like all other economies, Bangladesh has experienced pressure due to the disruption in economic activities during the pandemic. Both domestic and global demand contracted. As our economy is now integrated with the global economy, a downward trend was observed in case of exports, outflow of Bangladeshi migrants for work, and foreign investment. On the domestic front, depressed domestic demand has been reflected through low investment. Credit flow to the private sector and import of capital machinery had been low. Job losses by a large number of people had also reduced demand. All these had an impact on growth which was on an increasing trend during the last decade. Thus, in fiscal year 2020, the growth of gross domestic product (GDP) was 5.2 percent as opposed to 8.2 percent, which the government projected originally. Several studies have indicated that low growth and slower economic activities had a knock-on effect on poverty, unemployment, education, inequality and many social aspects. The agriculture sector maintained solid growth even amid the COVID period on the back of the healthy production of most of the cereal and non-cereal crops aided by the timely availability of inputs, favorable weather conditions at the time of cultivation and harvesting. Out of the three main sectors of the economy, agriculture emerged as the least affected. With few cases of the virus outbreak in rural areas, activities in agriculture and related sub-sectors (livestock, fisheries etc.,) remained, more or less, uninterrupted. A problem arose at the time of harvest of Boro crops for lack of labors and impending flood. Timely availability of inputs, benign weather conditions during cultivation and harvesting periods favoured satisfactory
  63. 61 crop production . Meanwhile, the stimulus packages announced by the government to disburse credit at low cost among the affected farmers for mitigating the repercussion of the pandemic would likely to cushion the agriculture sector from further spillover effects.

The industry sector decelerated to low but positive growth rates during the first three quarters of FY20, while the growth of the industry sector fell to a negative territory reflected in the growth of Quantum Index of Industrial Production (-14.98 percent) during Q4FY20. Mostly manufacturing sector led by wearing apparel, textile, pharmaceuticals, non-metallic mineral product, leather and related products and chemical production spurred the QIIP. Besides, service sector related activities also climbed out from their pandemic depths. Cargo handled through Chattogram port started increasing sharply after May 2020 and came back to the pre-pandemic level in November 2020 . Private sector credit growth in trade and commerce and consumer finance increased significantly during the first quarter of FY21. Service Sector The service sector, which also impacted by the pandemic but grew by 5.32 percent in FY20 against 6.78 percent in FY19 as most of the leading sub-sector activities such as wholesale and retail trade activities, transport, storage and communication, financial intermediation, education, real estate, renting and business activities waned due to lock-down measures. Inflation CPI inflation became some sort of unstable after the detection of the first COVID patient in Bangladesh in March 2020 and gradually increased to 6.44 percent in October 2020, but then started to decrease to 5.52 percent in November 2020 which came down further to 5.29 percent in December 2020 though average inflation rose to a three-year high of 5.69 per cent in the concluded calendar year. The recent increase in inflation until October 2020 was mainly driven by an increase in food inflation. On the other hand, non-food inflation remained low during the coronavirus pandemic due mainly to subdued domestic demand. Jun'17 Dec'17 Food Noon Food Dec'20 General Source: Bangladesh Bank Money Supply and Credit Growth To accommodate the government’s supportive policies and implement stimulus packages in view of cushioning the economy against the adversities of COVD-19 pandemic, Bangladesh Bank (BB) set an expansionary monetary policy for FY21. BB made the policy relaxations through slashing the policy rates including repo rate, reverse repo rate, cash reserve ratio (CRR), and bank rate to ensure adequate finance at a lower cost to the priority and productive sectors, particularly in agriculture; cottage, micro, small and medium enterprises (CMSMEs), and manufacturing industries, among others, without impairing price stability. The expansionary policy stance set broad money (M2) growth target at 14.00 and 15.60 percent for December 2020 and June 2021, respectively . Broad money (M2) grew by 13.99 percent (y/y) at the end of November 2020, supported by a strong pickup in the net foreign asset (NFA) Amid the COVID-19 pandemic induced by global economic slowdown, net foreign asset (NFA) registered 27.75 percent growth (y/y) in Nov’20, aided mostly by a strong surge of inflows of remittance by 48.54 percent and foreign loans by 53.72 percent. Despite a high growth of credit to the public sector, the slower growth of credit to the private credit pulled down the growth of net domestic asset (NDA) to 10.56 percent at the end of November 2020 from 14.02 percent at the end of June 2020. On the back of a large inflow of foreign loans and a rise in the borrowing through selling of national saving certificates, the growth of credit to the public sector moderated somewhat; nonetheless it remained as high as 18.58 percent at the end of December, 2020, reflecting government’s lower than expected revenue collection in the pandemic period. Although the growth of credit to the private sector started picking up with BB’s policy supports and implementing government’s stimulus package aimed at faster growth recovery of the economy, it still remained as low as 8.37 percent at the end of December, 2020 against the target of 11.50 percent and 14.80 percent for December 2020 and June 2021, respectively . In the period ahead, the growth path of credit to the private sector will recover with an expectation that intensity of the effects COVID-19 would be lesser in the second wave and the vaccine would be available to a larger coverage.

Officially recorded inflows classified under worker’s remittances have increased by more than 38 per cent in the first half of FY21 which is the highest ever in Bangladesh’s history. The remarkable growth in remittance inflows mostly came from the Gulf region which accounted for 57 percent share of total inflows. This has happened at a time when the number of workers going abroad has declined by almost 75 per cent. New workers going out of Bangladesh for work abroad has stopped after February 2020 and has not reopened as of now. At the same time, because of the collapse in petroleum prices and the pandemic induced recession, most oil exporting gulf countries and some others have sent back 300,000-400,000 workers from those countries. Various government policy measures such as relaxation of conditions for incentives including an extension of document submission time from 15 days to 2 months and a pandemic-induced slump in transactions through informal channels supported to strong remittance growth. 21.22% 28.05% 33.66% 35.94% 45.65% Dec'20 Oct'20 Nov'20 Sep'20 Jul'20 29.59% Aug'19 2.39% 21.20% -1.17% Jul'19 Jun'19 16.16% May'19 12.23% 7.73% Mar'19 Apr'19 15.76% 14.68% Jan'19 Feb'19 62.62% Remi�ance Growth Rate in % Export For many, 2020 has been a year of despair.

The weak revenue collection and additional expenditure for health and cash transfer for coping with COVID-19 pandemic increased fiscal deficit. About 70 percent of deficit financing was met from domestic sources. During FY20, total revenue collection decreased by 2.4 percent (y/y) to BDT 2512.0 billion (9.0 percent of GDP) and 72.2 percent of annual revised budget target for FY20. Budget deficit, as percent of GDP, rose to 4.9 percent in FY20 from 4.5 percent in FY19 because of slower revenue collection against higher expenditure, below the revised budget target of 5.5 percent of GDP. In FY20, total expenditure rose by 4.3 percent (y/y) to BDT 3876.4 billion (13.9 percent of GDP) and 77.3 percent of the annual revised budget target for FY20.

The Covid-19 pandemic has added momentum to them. Private banks have scaled up their digital services during the pandemic. As part of digitization, each bank has to launch e-KYC system by December 2021. The first three quarters of 2020 saw U$ 65 Bn+ transaction with 72% of the market dominated by mobile banking. With 96Mn Registered users and U$ 202Mn daily MFS transactions, digital transactions will unlock the digital commerce industry’s potentials. These policy relaxations had a significant impact on liquidity in the banking system. The ratio of total liquid asset to total demand and time liabilities (TDTL) increased to 27.52 percent in Q1FY21 as compared to 23.5 percent Q3FY20 . Similarly, liquid asset excess of SLR to TDTL rose to 12.55 percent from 6.9 percent at the same period.

Between July and December, the trade deficit, which occurs when imports outweigh exports, stood at $6.46 billion, down 21.37 per cent year-on-year. During the period, imports declined 6.8 per cent from that a year earlier to $25.22 billion, eclipsing a 0.44 per cent fall in exports to $18.76 billion. Current account balance, one of the major indicators of the balance of payments (BoP), stood at $4.32 billion in the July-December period in contrast to a deficit of $1.66 billion a year ago. The lower imports and an increase in remittances have widened the current account. The overall balance was $6.15 billion in the first six months of the fiscal year in comparison to $27 million a year earlier. The stronger current account balance and the loans from multilateral lenders helped boost the overall balance of the BoP.

The economic crisis has been exacerbated by the closure or limited operation of businesses during the lock-down at home and abroad. From July to December of FY 2020-2021 imports declined 6.8 per cent from that a year earlier to $25.22 billion. The economic meltdown brought on by the coronavirus pandemic has adversely affected the domestic demand, bringing down import payments. The falling import of capital machinery and industrial raw materials indicated that investment in the private sector is feeble. Capital machinery import stood at $ 1.5 billion in the first half of 202021, down 29.17 per cent from a year ago. This means businesses are reluctant to set up new plants or expand their existing ones. Import of intermediate goods, including industrial raw materials, dipped 8.8 per cent to $15.33 billion, in a sign of lower production than the pre-pandemic period. 2019 Loans & Adva. 2020 NSC Source: Bangladesh Bank Bank Deposit, Advances & NSC Growth 32.31% 22.18% 18.42% 13.74% 12.57% 9.05% 10.65% 10.21% 10.22% 2017 2018 Deposit 13.46% 11.00% 8.22% 2019 Loans & Adva. 2020 NSC Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited

The central bank unveiled a moratorium facility for 2020 to insulate borrowers from the economic hardship caused by the coronavirus pandemic, in a move that reined in the escalation of defaulted loans and brought them down.

NPL Movement in % 5.54 10.30 Government Stimulus Package Implementations Interest (Profit) Rate Outlook While sufficient liquidity in the banking system to be aligned with the government’s effort of implementing stimulus packages to revive the economy from the COVID-19 fallout is critical, the BB cut its cash reserve ratio (CRR) by 150 basis points from 5.50 to 4.00 percent in two steps during March – April 2020. Moreover, BB reduced the bank rate from 5.00 to 4.00 percent in July 2020, which had been remained unchanged at 5.00 percent since 2003, rationalizing it with the current interest rate regime. The BB also slashed its repo from 6.00 to 4.75 percent in three steps during March - July 2020, aiming at easy access for the banks to lend more credit to the priority sectors during the pandemic period. Consequently, the interest rate in the call money market and interbank repo rate continued to decline from 5.14 and 5.96 percent in March 2020 to 2.00 and 0.70 percent respectively in November 2020. Weighted average interest rates in the retail market also witnessed a significant decline both in lending and depositing, following the ceiling of 9.0 percent lending rate cap effective from 1 April 2020. Weighted average lending and deposit rates

The rise in the liquidity in the banking system, amid COVID-19 driven by a weak credit demand, led to a sharper fall in the interest rates on lending, which, in turn, induced to lower the cost of funds by the way of lowering the interest rate on deposit.

In 2019, the operating profit growth was 7%. Although operating profits declined, net profits in 2020 were expected to surge significantly because of lower provision requirements, thanks to the loan classification suspension facility offered for January-December of the year considering the pandemic situation. High returns from investment in government treasury bills and bonds largely contributed to earnings when the private sector credit growth was depressed throughout the year, hovering between 8% and 9%. Banks had to spend only Tk.2,500 crore in an additional provision as a cost for payment deferral of borrowers.

But what the end of 2020 shows is different picture with two major performance indicators – profitability and loan recovery – being far better than expected. Though NPL’s decline was driven by the loan moratorium and the prohibition on banks downgrading loans until December 2020, which delayed the recognition of NPL. Non-performing loans would increase in the coming quarters because of the expiration of credit moratorium period and weakening of the repayment capacity of borrowers as a result of the coronavirus shock. Low private sector credit growth and high investment in government bills and bonds took excess liquidity in the banking sector to above Tk 2 lakh crore in December last year, the highest in the history. The real challenge will be this year as payment holiday has been lifted. The depressed private sector credit growth is another big challenge because banks could not lend even at 5% as businessmen have cash in hand due to one-year payment deferral. The COVID-19 pandemic has ironically brought about a revolution in digital banking as banks are quickly adopting technology-based products, thereby allowing customers to access banking services remotely. Use of both credit and debit cards hit an all-time high in December as people continued to fulfill their demand using the digital means. Digital loan(Investment) is one such product that will give customers a first-time experience in the country of processing loans through their bKash app, reflecting how technology has been taking over the banking industry. In 2020 Bangladeshi banking sector has experienced first block chain-based crossborder remittance service, the pandemic has given a further push to cashless transaction as people from all walks of life are increasingly embracing the different digital financial payment tools to avoid cash in order to keep the coronavirus at bay. Bangladesh Economic Outlook 2021 -0.6 3.5 Banking Sector Outlook 2018 2019 All Banks 2020(E) Source: Bangladesh Bank Even in the corona crisis, the Bangladesh economy is growing much faster than in other parts of the region. It presents itself to international entrepreneurs as the best in its class: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects an economic growth of 3.8% in Bangladesh for the crisis year 2020 – by far the highest value in the whole of Asia. Looking forward, the government has set a 7.4 percent real GDP growth target for FY21 weighing on the rebound in the economic situation aided by continued policy initiatives such as stimulus packages, low cost refinance schemes, and policy relaxations, among others. Bangladesh economy has recovered faster as reflected in sector-wise performance for the first quarter of FY21 amid a dreadful situation as the pandemic continues. The growth targets indicate that growth will recover at a faster pace in FY21 and will increase gradually . The economy is likely to maintain the targeted growth path with an expectation that a second wave of the pandemic would not harm the economy seriously. Besides, an advanced stage of vaccine development would have a positive impact on the global as well as domestic economy. Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited
  68. 66 We hope Bangladesh Bank will continue with expansionary monetary policy stance during the year 2021 . The government has already cut its GDP growth projection at 7.40 per cent from its earlier projection of 8.20 per cent for the FY’21 mainly due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. We predict credit to the public sector particularly the government borrowing from the banking sector is likely to decline in the year 2021 while the private sector credit growth is expected to pick up in the coming months as the launch of coronavirus vaccination is set to contain the spread of deadly virus in the country, thus boosting the peoples’ confidence in economic activities. Opera�ng Profit Against all the odds 2021 ushers in with a lot of expectations. The Covid-19 pandemic which engulfed our economic and social lives in every possible manner in 2020 is expected to be brought under control as hopes are high with the approval of vaccinations developed by a number of companies.

  97. 95 CMSME , WOMEN ENTREPRENEUR AND AGRICULTURE FINANCING CMSME Financing The development of CMSME is considered as a vital instrument for poverty alleviation and ensures the rapid industrialization in Bangladesh. About 95% private sector enterprises are CMSMEs, major portion of non-agricultural workforce is working in this sector and providing a livelihood for 31.2 million in total of this country. But MSME is one of the hardest hit by COVID-19 pandemic and MSMEs already has become vulnerable due to dependence on a shorter cash cycle, supply chain disruption, and loss of sales. CMSME por�olio in 2020 1% 5% Co�age Micro Small Medium Million BDT Co�age 383 Micro 3591 Small 26171 Medium 42428 36% 58% Exposure in SME in dec 2020 20.06% 36.39% Industry SJIBL Cottage, Micro, small and medium enterprises (CMSMEs) are playing a very important role in employment generation, resource utilization and income generation to a large segment of the society. In a labour surplus country like Bangladesh, the sector accounts for 25 percent of Bangladesh GDP and employed 87% of civilian population. Appealing the significant contribution of CMSME in the economic condition of cross section of population, Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited (SJIBL) has accorded added priority to this sector in its pursuit of expansion of investing portfolio. Facing COVID-19 Challenges SME financing is now at the central point of the Banking sector for its momentous role in socio-economic development. But Covid-19 laid bare and exacerbated weaknesses that existed beforehand. 2020s allocation of Tk.20,000 crore at 9 percent interest rate – 4 percent to be paid by the borrower and 5 percent interest by the government as subsidy to provide working capital loan to the micro, cottage, and small and medium enterprises is a praiseworthy step from Bangladesh government. But CMSMEs are facing numerous challenges in accessing the stimulus package. The main challenge is the disbursement of the credit to the selected firms through our channel in the form of subsidized advances. As the banking sector is already under tremendous pressure due to the high non-performing advance. The bank wants to be a proud partner of implementation of the nation’s dream by subsidizing the CMSMEs at their early stage and remaining a trusted partner throughout their graduation to national level. SJIBL SME Investment Division under Investment Risk Management Division (IRMD) has taken strategies in its business and operations in triangulation of international, national and regulatory visions to provide a comprehensive array of Investment products and solutions to CMSMEs across the country.

  100. 98 Retail Investment The year 2020 was a very tough time for retail investment segment in whole banking industry- most of the banks ’ growth was negative or stagnant. The Retail investment sector experienced double-edged sword –from demand side: customer appetite trimmed due to COVID-19 effect and from supply side: bankers were reluctant due to regulatory cap on profit(interest) against exposure. With rising income levels, Bangladesh economy is becoming an increasingly attractive market for retail financial products. Though the industry has experienced some turbulence, SJIBL exerts its prudence and efforts to carry out its tempo and commitment in retail investment.

  101. 99 Strategy for 2021 Though stress in retail investment may increase in coming months due to a slowdown in income growth and slower pace of job creation in the service sector , we have a solid plan to navigate this time with caution. Our key focus is on 2 particular segments namely 1) House Building Investment Scheme: as low profit rate creates scope for salaried/ sustainable income personnel 2) Credit Card segment: as our comparatively new Credit Card would cater a niche of customers who seek shariah compliant credit card. We thought these 2 segments would be key growth drivers of retail investment in coming days. INVESTMENT RISK MANAGEMENT DIVISION As a response to the COVID-19 outbreak, we made necessary adjustment to our investment procedures for specific sectors and increased our governance and frequency of oversight on our investment clients. Everywhere, the pandemic-induced lock-downs and changing customer behaviors put the business position and revenuegenerating capabilities of some of our clients under pressure. Particularly affected were the travel, hospitality and retail sectors, while some of the sectors continued with little less disruption. We worked tirelessly to accommodate to the new realities of our customers. Throughout 2020, we took proactive steps to ensure an adequate service infrastructure for our clients, while at the same time taking necessary pre-cautionary measures for providing a safe environment for our employees. This allowed us to seamlessly manage client relationships during the pandemic. Bangladesh government and Bangladesh Bank, through its stimulus and support packages, ensured stability and continuity. This enabled us to launch a series of supportive actions to help our clients navigate through the pandemic. Bank’s continued changes and reengineering of Investment Risk Management process during the year, together with its sharper segment focus and a more assertive business development approach, Investment Banking activities posted a resilient performance in 2020 despite of all the odds caused by COVID-19 pandemic. The Bank managed to retain high asset quality withstanding the unprecedented challenges faced by financial sector and economy as a whole due to pandemic. Furthermore, we had oversight for prudent control around the utilization of uncommitted facilities considering the extent of impact of pandemic on specific clients. Our further strengthened TREASURY OPERATIONS Key challenges in 2020 were managing excess liquidity-both in money market and in forex market, managing spread as regulator imposed profit rate (interest) cap, de-growth of advance. Though market was flooded with excess liquidity, Treasury was able to utilize the excess funds which were raised on time during the year to maximize returns until such time these funds were be utilized by the relevant business units. Usually Treasury is exposed to risk due to the uncertainty prevailing in the dynamic business world. With the ever increasing investment monitoring team provided us with the means to monitor our investment exposure on a regular basis across industries and client segments. In most of our investment portfolio jurisdictions, our business benefitted from regulatory forbearance, which saw a relaxation of investment classification requirements until the end of 2020. These measures successfully assisted our customers to better weather the impact of the pandemic. As a result of the rigorous controls we have put in place to manage our investment risk, our high-quality diversified portfolio and proactive measures taken throughout the year, we were able to maintain our NPI ratio at a minimum level. Strategy for 2021 While the future remains unclear and dependent on the scale and speed of the COVID-19 evolution and the timing of an economic recovery, we are confident that our prudent approach to investment extension provides us with a strong framework to protect the interests of all our stakeholders. We are aware the enormity of the challenges but we are ready to face it with resolve and concerted efforts. pace of changes in technology, regulation and compliance within the banking industry, Treasury has been considered as a nerve center of a bank. One of the major functions of a Treasury department is managing and controlling the bank’s liquidity as well as making sure that all parts of the bank can readily have access to the fund required for continuing their operations. In Islamic Treasury environment, it is important to note that for any product or process, Shariah Supervisory Committee approvals are required, before any other processes, so that the pureness of the Islamic banking remains intact. Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited
  102. 100 Shahjalal Islami followings : Bank Treasury primarily focuses on the ●● Utilizing different market opportunities within all risk and regulatory limits. ●● Strengthening ALM operations ●● Creating a diversified fund management channel ●● Enhancing profitability ●● Minimizing market, liquidity and profit (interest) rate risks etc. Therefore, in the process, Shahjalal Islami Bank Treasury has the following desks which operate through the integrated efforts of Money, FX, and ALM to achieve the desired goal. TREASURY DIVISION Money Market Desk ALM Desk In 2020 Corporate FX Desk handled a total volume of USD 211 million compared to USD 152 million in 2019. ALM Desk Stewardship of the bank’s balance sheet is given typically to the Asset-Liability Committee (ALCO). The key function of Asset Liability Management desk is to give insight to ALCO on Bank’s balance sheet & off-balance sheet movement and key insight regarding market and industry trend on liquidity, Interest rate movement. Over the time, the scope of treasury operations has significantly expanded and asset-liability management appeared as the heart of treasury function. In banking business, movement or transformation of the components in the balance sheet is an ongoing process which has a resultant effect on the profitability and overall strength of the Bank. SJIBL ALM plays an important role by identifying and measuring those risks and minimizing or hedging those risks using various financial tools for stabilizing the balance sheet and maximizing profit for bank. From onset of the COVID-19 pressure on markets and the subsequent “lock-down” policy response from the government has created a genuine stress on the economy. Our ALM desk timely analyzed and suggested how best should the Bank address the need to ensure flexibility and rapid decision-making, while maintaining balance sheet robustness during that time. Forex Desk Money Market Desk The Money market desk ensures that the bank remains sufficiently liquid, meeting all its financial commitments and obligations to its customers besides meeting the CRR & SLR and all ALM ratios requirement at minimum risk and cost to the bank. In 2020 Money market dealers were mostly busy in managing and blotting of excess liquidity which surfaced from Bangladesh Bank expansionary monetary policy, de-growth of credit, sale proceed of foreign currency, low appetite of new credit. They had also faced some criticality from a few stressed counter parties particularly NBFI’s for their own fund crisis. Foreign Exchange Desk We have a separate Foreign Exchange (FX) desk where experienced dealers are engaged in foreign currency transactions. In order to settle the transactions of different foreign currencies throughout the year the desk closely monitored the exchange rate movement of USD and other currencies against BDT and accordingly set the exchange rates of major foreign currencies. The interbank foreign market was quite stable throughout the year where market was flooded with liquidity, USD depreciated against BDT and stood at 84.80 as of 30th December’20 which was 84.90 at the very beginning of 2020. ANNUAL REPORT 2020 The Bank’s FX Desk was able to forecast the situation very early and as such handled the situation pragmatically. At the same time FX Desk’ was very active in the interbank Forex market and also dealing with corporate clients, focusing on meeting corporate needs. In 2020, changes in market liquidity and interest (profit) rates might expose banks to the risk of losing money. The Coronavirus crisis and lock-down response to the spread of COVID-19 has demonstrated, among a number of things, the importance of a bank being able to react quickly and decisively to market-wide stressed events. Throughout the year, ALCO proactively control the business in line with firm objectives, focusing on the entire balance sheet. In brief throughout the year 2020, SJIBL’s ALCO managed its balance sheet movement in right track to optimize changing market dynamics. Future Strategy In the coming year, both local and global markets are predicted to be more volatile. Excess liquidity management for both local currency and foreign currency will be the main challenge for the banking sector in the upcoming year as government expansionary monetary policy may continue up to 2nd half of the year 2021 as private sector may remain shy and sluggish to new investment and inflow of foreign currency will be surpassing outflow in next couple of months.

  114. 112 SUSTAINABILITY REPORTING ANNUAL REPORT 2020
  115. 113 MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO ON SUSTAINABILITY In 2020, the global Covid-19 pandemic wrought social and economic disruption on an unprecedented scale. The pandemic is so extensive that it has affected most of the organization’s essential sustainability issues during the year. In the earliest days of the crisis, we implemented preventive measures as our first line of response in line with the guidelines from the Directorate General of Health Services and the World Health Organization. We worked quickly on the procurement of the necessary protective equipment that includes face masks, face shields, gowns, sanitizers and also instituted temperature checks for employees, customers and visitors to our head office and branches. As an essential service provider, we continue to operate as per the guidelines of Bangladesh Bank, the central bank of the country, with the utmost care towards the safety of our customers and employees, and without disruption of our services. For employees in need of the most urgent assistance, a Quick Response Team (QRT) was also formed. In the post-COVID-19 period, the world will be more dependent on sustainable banking, especially for survival. We are committed to create sustainable progress and as a responsible bank, Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited firmly believes that it has a strong role to play in promoting Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Green Banking, Financial Inclusion and Sustainable Development activities to ensure resilient banking growth. We believe that including sustainability in all aspects of our business is fundamental in creating lasting value for all our stakeholders. Corporate Social Responsibility SJIBL believes in making CSR not just an initiative and therefore has instituted the SJIBL Foundation to carry out CSR activities on behalf of the Bank. As a socially responsible organization, SJIBL recognizes that we are part of the community at large, and there is a strong need to contribute to society and support those in need. The Foundation works towards improvement in socioeconomic development and has been supporting education, health, charities, treatment of poor people, donations, sponsoring sports and natural disaster efforts to promote sustainable communities and the environment in Bangladesh. Due to COVID-19, the year 2020 was different for CSR activities. Yet, SJIBL, as a responsible bank, came forward to support the poor and the people who lost their jobs due to Covid-19 generously and distributed substantial relief across the country. The bank also provided face masks and sanitizers to the people as primary protection. SJIBL understands the importance of education among the poor and underprivileged communities for the progress of the country. In this context, SJIBL provides a stipend to meritorious poor students irrespective of gender from HSC to post-graduate to complete their studies. Apart from the stipend, the bank also provided financial assistance to financially weak students. SJIBL also extended support to construct schools and madrasas across the country, and it provides furniture for schoolrooms. It also donated computers and printers to the schools situated in rural areas. SJIBL spent a substantial amount on healthcare management during 2020. Medical equipment was provided to a hospital and an ambulance was also donated to a charitable organization. The Foundation also generously supported poor people in critical health treatment on a case-to-case basis. In 2020, 45 semi-pucca buildings were constructed by SJIBL Foundation for those who have lost their homes due to natural disasters across the country. Furthermore, blankets were distributed among the poor during winter to save their lives from extreme cold and freezing. The bank also donated a fund to arrange sports and cultural programs. SJIBL also donated Tk. 5.00 crore to the Prime Minister’s Relief Fund to support government initiatives in different development activities. Green Banking We always believe in growing responsibly by maintaining an ecofriendly environment across the organization. For that purpose, the Bank circulated the Green Banking Policy Guideline, SJIBL Green Office Guide as well as SJIBL Environmental & Social Risk Management (ESRM) Guideline to all the employees to raise awareness regarding conservation of energy, water and saving paper, etc. We highly encourage our customers to use E-Statement, SMS banking, SMS Alert, and e-mail correspondence to reduce the use of paper. The Bank has developed a number of green banking instruments through which customers can save their valuable time and unnecessary paperwork as well. During the year, SJIBL introduced the Centralized Circular Management System (CCMS) which streamlined banks’ internal circular databases digitally. Our latest updates for paperless banking are internet banking, digital wallet and e-KYC, which have opened up banking opportunities for customers using the latest technology without visiting a branch. The bank is also upgrading its technology to meet the growing demand for digital banking. Green banking is eco-friendly financing. To get a sustainable positive impact from business, green banking is essential. Due to Covid-19, the situation for new investment was not favorable during 2020. As such, Green Finance appetite naturally decreased. Still, we continued financing green projects to keep up with the growth of green finance at all costs. As a result, we achieved the yearly regulatory target of green finance disbursement which was more than 5% of yearly Term Investment disbursed (Tk. 514.32 Million) in the year 2020. Besides, SJIBL successfully implemented environmental risk rating and social risk rating introduced by Bangladesh Bank during appraising investment proposals. Sustainable Development The Bank is committed to observe the Sustainable Banking Guidelines of Bangladesh Bank. It has demonstrated such commitment duly considering the environment, social and governance risks and pertinent impacts when underwriting investment as well as providing investments directly to support the country to move toward sustainable development goals. Recently, the Sustainable Finance Department of Bangladesh Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited
  116. 114 Bank has issued a new circular which has been considered by all concerned as a regulatory paradigm shift from Green Product Financing into Sustainable Financing . As per the new circular, green finance, sustainable agro-finance, sustainable SME Finance, cottage industry finance and socially responsible finance altogether will be considered sustainable finance. For the first time since the inception of the Green Banking movement in the banking sector of Bangladesh, financing Jute (once the golden fiber of Bangladesh), cane and cottage industry trading have been decided to be included as sustainable finance by the regulatory body. The environment and natural resources are fundamental to the well-being of people, sustainable business conduct and longterm national development. The Bank believes that businesses should play an important role in alleviating climate change, striving to reduce adverse effects of its operations on the environment and promote conservation of natural resources. The Bank is fully aware that climate change and global warming have widespread effects on all sectors, including the Bank and its customers. The Government of Bangladesh has planned infrastructure development projects that will create investment opportunities, especially the mega projects such as Padma Multipurpose Bridge, Matarbari Seaport, Payra Deep Sea Port, Dhaka Metro rail, Dhaka Elevated Expressway, new Railway project, Karnaphully Tunnel, expansion of Highway, new terminal of Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport. These large-scale projects will stimulate investment and further economic development. The projects will also help drive and elevate the financial sector towards the desired sustainable development of the country. As a responsible financial institution, Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited intends to support such development by seeking to offer a variety of financial products that meet sustainability principles and thereby help facilitate the country’s sustainable growth plan. Customer Relationship Management The Bank is committed to providing service excellence, acting responsibly, treating customers fairly and honestly, observing industry standards. The quality of the service we deliver to the customers is critical to the long-term success of the company. Today, commercial banks in Bangladesh are facing intense competition to retain customers. Accordingly, the Bank is determined to build and maintain good relationships with customers while improving the quality of its products and services. To enhance the satisfaction of existing customers and attract new customers, the Bank constantly improves its service delivery systems to ensure that they are fast and convenient to meet the customer’s expectations. We constantly seek to enhance the quality of our service and regularly create opportunities to share feedback on their experience with us. In this respect, the Bank conducts a customer satisfaction survey periodically to promote customer engagement, to listen to their views and to understand situations or problems, so it can improve service quality to be in line with customer’s needs. This is to ensure quality professional services that can respond to the needs of all customer groups so that the ANNUAL REPORT 2020 bank impresses customers and becomes their bank of choice. The findings of the survey help identify key areas for service improvement and development to provide better service and satisfy customers. Human Resource The Bank recognizes employees as invaluable resources and believes that delivering the best possible service begins with building and supporting the best possible team. We work to attract and sustain a diverse, engaged, agile and capable workforce, creating values for our employees and rewarding their contribution. We are committed to creating an engaging, inclusive and sustainable workplace in which we maintain a safe and healthy working environment. Learning and developing continuously and keeping a healthy growth is essential to ensure our workforce remains capable and relevant in the face of change. We continue to deploy best-in-class learning and development programs to nurture our employees at all levels. Employees are encouraged to take personal ownership of their development by upgrading their skills and taking assignments of higher responsibility for career development. Furthermore, the bank has introduced the policy regarding the “Prevention of Sexual Harassment Policy” to ensure the safety and wellbeing of the employees. Conclusion Our responsibility to provide resilient and sustainable financial solutions for our customers and society also guides our initiatives to support the businesses of our clients during the financial hardship and uncertainty caused by COVID-19. A number of our corporate clients have faced unprecedented challenges as orders were cancelled, revenues slumped and supply chains were interrupted. In some cases, clients experienced a shortfall in liquidity. SJIBL, as a strong financial institution, has supported its clients during 2020 on its own and through the government stimulus package. The COVID-19 pandemic deeply affected the entire planet, changing everyone’s priorities. There is, however, one priority that remains unchanged for us, to keep our focus on personnel, on our customers and on the society where we operate. We will continue to improve our responsible business practices and exercise prudence to transform our businesses and our economies towards a greener and more sustainable future. These are goals that not only correspond to SJIBL principles and objectives but also set the foundation for generating value for our personnel and our shareholders. Finally, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to all stakeholders for the trust, support and confidence given to us in the past year on our sustainability path.

  120. 118 Environmental Sustainability To achieve long-term sustainable development , we must responsibly manage environmental and social (E&S) risks. Rapid urbanization and industrialization help to improve the livelihood of the human beings. Simultaneously, it creates strain on natural resources, such as energy, water and food supplies. Our planet’s ability to meet the growing demand of natural resources may be depleted if we don’t become environment-conscious. We introduced certain procedures and templates to assess our Environmental & Social (E&S) Risk which has been further improved every year. As a continuous process, E&S structure being updated to cope with different advancements and get the best output in terms of good investments. ●● Environmental & Social risks are considered in all of our investment proposals, where appropriate. ●● All investment proposals are taking into account of local laws and regulations and internationally acceptable environmental and social standards where these are more stringent. ●● Risks associated with both environmental and social issues are being properly recognized, evaluated and where appropriate mitigated. ●● Appropriate procedures are designed to meet these policy requirements e.g. project finance proposals are assessed in accordance with international best practices. Power, water and other resources consumption management SJIBL believes that every small ‘GREEN’ step taken today would go a long way in building a greener future and that each one of us can work towards a better global environment. Through proper planning and management, SJIBL has ensured minimal wastage of natural resource. We finance business that invests in renewable energy or simply suggests our employees switch their lights off after office hours, use daylight instead of electrical lights, turn of all air-conditioned after 6 pm, going towards paperless office work and so on. Climate change & carbon footprint Climate change has become a global concern as it has direct impact on biodiversity, agriculture, forestry, water resources and human health. People across the world now admit that Bangladesh is one of the major victims of climate change. Banks, like all other companies, produce greenhouse gases (GHG) directly or indirectly (through financing of clients and projects that generate GHG gases) from their activities. As a corporate citizen and environmentally-responsible financier, SJIBL has introduced green banking not only to help to save the environment but also for a sustainable economic growth. developed fast and user friendly digital services for customers such as SJIBL Net (Internet Banking App), introduction of e-Account Opening, 24/7 Call Center, etc. Financial system of the entire world is changing very quickly. This is also true for Bangladesh’s banking industry as most of the financial transactions will take place digitally in near future. SJIBL is ready for the transformation.

As such, CSR is now widely recognized and appreciated as a positive tool to help promote sustainable development.

There are new conceptual variants of CSR in the present times. New phrases like ethical business, socially responsible behavior, sustainability, triple-bottom line, social innovation, benefit corporations, social business etc., have been put into practice.

SJIBL is continuously pursuing its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities with utmost importance. We have espoused and embarked upon diverse activities particularly in the areas of education, poverty alleviation, healthcare, national and sponsoring environment friendly initiatives for the greater benefit of present and future generations. CSR for environmental cause As part of going green SJIBL emphasizes upon quantification of in-house facilities and energy consumption to promote paperless office and enhance energy efficiency. Greater emphasis on green banking projects is being given for quantification of in-house facilities and energy consumption to promote paperless office and enhance energy efficiency. We recognize that the policies and practices we adopt today will shape not only our lives but also those of future generations.

Sakib’s father is a small farmer with very small earnings. After completion of HSC from Syed Nazrul Islam College, Mymensigh he was selected in a competitive exam to get enrolled into Dhaka Medical College as MBBS student. His father was unable to carry out the expenses of his higher education. He came to know the scholarship of SJIBL and he applied for the scholarship to complete his MBBS degree. Considering his merit as well as family hardship, SJIBL Foundation decided to award him scholarship to run his MBBS degree in Dhaka Medical College in 2016.

One such example is Sharmin Akter who was born in a poverty striken family in Charbhodrason, Faridpur. Sharmin has been passionate about her studies and had dreams of studying from University of Dhaka, Oxford of the East. Her father, Md. Shahid Munshi has to maintain a family of five members with a small amount of Tk.60000 yearly income. Through competitive varsity admission exam she got the opportunity to study in the University of Dhaka. As such, she needed additional financial support since her fathers financial back up was not enough to continue her study at all. One of her relatives referred her to the country’s reputed scholarship program that supports students - from college to post-graduation. SJIBL’s stipend proved game changer for Sharmins life. Today, Sharmin has been on her way to complete graduation from Dhaka University and stipend money of SJIBL works as true back-up to bear her educational expenditure. She opined: “Without SJIBL stipend I would have to do private tuition heavily to manage the additional money which could have disturbed my study.” ANNUAL REPORT 2020

Lutfur Rahman Khan commenced their partnership business in the name of Blue Jeans Washing Plant in 2013.

As a result, they are expecting that both quantity of production and return on sales will maximize. As such, they approached to Tongi branch of Shahjalal Islami Bank which allowed them HPSM-Machinery of Tk.3.00 million to install ETP at capacity of 10m3/hr for washing factory. Besides, Bai-Muajjal Commercial TR-Revolving (Working Capital) of Tk.2.00 million was approved for purchase raw materials for denim washing plant.

  137. 135 ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIAL OBLIGATIONS Converting paddy fields into industrial land , filling of water bodies for construction purpose, encroaching into forest lands to turn it into agricultural lands are some of the un-responded silent crimes for which social issue was raised side by side with environmental issue in the world. As SDG goals of UNO are mainly directed for environmental conservation and social protection, credit/investment operations of banks and FIs are supposed to be conducted addressing environmental and social risk issues adequately. As such, SJIBL investment personnel always consider such sensitive factors before investment client selection. While human beings suffered the worst since the outbreak of COVID 19 pandemic, nature and other natural creatures enjoyed the air of freedom in a care free mode. In a roundabout way, COVID 19 taught us how cruel nature can be, if human beings do not act more responsibly. In this new context, human obligations towards environment and society have become most talkedabout issue than ever before. ●● Implementation of Green Office Guide ●● Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) with special emphasis upon healthcare ●● Green Strategic Planning to reduce carbon footprint in SJIBL ●● Ensure Gender Equality through female recruitment and empowerment Environmental & Social Risk Management ●● Replacement of child labor by adult labor ●● Setting up Green Branches ●● Preparation of Sustainability Reporting for stakeholders ●● Implementation of SDG Goals with special emphasis upon job creation and SME & Micro Finance to overcome economic impact of COVID 19 ●● Retention of existing Green Finance clients by renewal of investment facility ●● Awareness creation for COVID 19 ●● Popularizing home office instead of physical presence to ensure social distancing SJIBL always streamlines its efforts to look beyond short-term quantitative gains and concentrates on issues that make the institution socially responsible. Customer experience over the last couple of years has become the key competitive differentiator in banking. With a view to keep up with the changing customer expectations, SJIBL embraced emerging technologies and accordingly adopted evolving business models. However, due to COVID 19 following changes took place in 2020: ●● E-Attendance instead of Biometric Attendance. ●● Emphasis upon internet Banking and SMS Banking. ●● Email-Statement instead of hard copy of statements. ●● Video Conferencing instead of physical visit. At present, some social issues which Shahjalal Islami Bank limited has been addressing for all its stakeholders including itself to comply with ESRM Guideline of Bangladesh Bank as well as for all its vendors/ suppliers are as follows: ●● Zoom meeting instead of physical presence in meeting. ●● Training via Zoom. ●● Emphasis upon card-based transaction & transaction through digital wallet. Particulars SJIBL address Child Labor ●● Continuation of 24/7 days IT Support. Gender Inequality SDG Relevance GOAL 16: Peace and Justice Strong Institutions GOAL 5: Gender Equality ●● Introduction of home office by connecting through internet and mobile. Minimum Wage GOAL 10: Reduced Inequality Environmental & Social Agenda Maintaining an environmentally and socially clean portfolio naturally has impact in CAMELS rating, liquidity, capital requirements, credit growth and brand image. As such, Environmental & Social Agenda of Shahjalal Islami Bank limited in 2020 in light of COVID perspectives were as follows: Decent & Safe Work GOAL 8: Decent Work and Environment Economic Growth Protection of Indigenous People GOAL 15: Life on Land Manusher Jonno Foundation (MJF), a renowned local NGO conducted a national survey on violence against women during Covid-19. From May to July of 2020, women and adolescents faced the most violence and child marriage rates rose. The rise in child marriage shows a huge implication. Adolescents are the Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited
  138. 136 most vulnerable , and yet we have no system to support them through this difficult time. In this backdrop SJIBL organized workshop on Gender Equality which was participated by banks 500 employees. Besides, in 2020, no incident of gender discrimination and violation involving rights of indigenous people and child labor has been recorded in SJIBL. Moreover, our bank does not make collaboration with any stake holder that compromises with the compliance issues like gender right, minimum wage, safe work environment etc. The bank’s green banking initiatives include online and paperless banking, reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, efficient energy use, financing environment friendly projects, plant nursery, horticulture projects etc. Issues like gender equity, child & force labor, minimum salary structure and protection of the interest of indigenous people etc. are being addressed in every possible way so that the organization can have the title of truly sustainable from all stake holders of the society. Bank’s previous record confirms the followings: ●● Decline of investment in conventional brick field. ●● Monitoring issue of minimum wage & bonus to bank’s outsourced cleaners by concerned companies. ●● Nomination of banks suppliers on the basis of merit. ●● Enlistment of investment surveyors on the basis of market reputation. ●● Meeting with customers on issues related to social awareness. ●● License obtaining by each SJIBL branch separately to comply with Bangladesh Labor Law 2006 and Bangladesh Labor Rules 2015. ●● Observing factory work environment of different clients by our RMs on routine basis. Financial Inclusion through No-Frill Accounts Promoting financial inclusion in line with SDG Goal No. 9 namely “Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure” and SDG Goal No. 10 namely “Reduced Inequality” through providing access to affordable funding is central to the Bank’s economic objectives. Financial inclusion is facilitated through the Bank’s extensive network of customer contact points (Branches, ATM Booths & Agent Banking Booths) and Collateral free SME & Agriculture financing facilities targeted at the country’s most underserved segments and ongoing investments in financial literacy and capacity building programs. ANNUAL REPORT 2020 According to the World Bank, “Financial inclusion means that individuals and businesses have access to useful and affordable financial products and services that meet their needs— transactions, payments, savings, credit and insurance—delivered in a responsible and sustainable way.” Bangladesh Bank and the government have been extensively working to expand financial services for disadvantaged groups for the past few years, but it has been challenging to implement. This is due to low literacy amongst rural dwellers, lack of interest to open bank account and unavailability of bank branch in rural area. With a view to ensure mass peoples participation in formal economy Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited opens no-frill accounts with minimum balance ranging from 10 to 100 taka. Being No Frill accounts, no service charge is deducted from such accounts. In order to ensure inclusive growth of the society as per Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations Organization (UNO), our Bank is also committed to include common people into banking network. At present SJIBL has following categories of No frill (10 & 100 Taka) Account: Mudaraba Street Urchin and Working Children Account Mudaraba Savings Leather Employee Account Mudaraba Savings School Banking Account No Frill Account (AC with 10 and 100 Taka opening balance) Mudaraba Savings Lacta�ng & Working mother Account Mudaraba Savings Garments Employee Account Mudaraba Savings Farmer's Deposit Account The objective of opening such no frill account is to bring entire population of Bangladesh under formal financial network gradually. Since SJIBL is committed to ensure mass peoples participation in formal economy, it emphasized on opening such 10 Taka & 100 Taka accounts regardless of any cost-benefit analysis: Number of 10 Taka & 100 Taka Accounts (Cumula�ve) 2051 1557 857 Mudarabaha Garments Employee AC Mudarabaha Farmer’s Deposit AC Mudarabaha Lacta�ng & Working Mothers AC Number of Accounts (Cumula�ve)
  139. 137 In addition , SJIBL has opened account for a remarkable number of garment workers as per instruction of Bangladesh Bank to disburse government benefit and workers’ salary through bank account at the earlier stage of pandemic. Ironically thus COVID 19 became blessing for financial inclusion of the country. Post COVID period will encourage bankers to open many such accounts which they were reluctant to open previously. In order to address present challenges for opening no-frill accounts and financial inclusion, SJIBL emphasized upon Agent Banking booth establishment so that people of under-banked areas can open no-frill accounts as well as normal saving accounts. SJIBL has arrangement with Bkash for fund transfer. The newly introduced SJIBL App-based service also has been helping to ensure inclusive growth since it enables customers to make transactions sitting at home. Financial Inclusion through School Banking Bangladesh Bank directed all the scheduled banks to start a financial inclusion policy for school-going students under the name of School Banking through BRPD circular number 12 on November 2, 2010. Slowly but steadily, many banks initiated the service for students. In this backdrop, SJIBL started to open School Banking Account in different educational institutions on regular basis. To popularize school banking, central bank introduced lead bank concept. So, Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited organized School Banking Conference as Lead Bank in different districts of the country: School Banking Conference Brahmanbaria Year-2017, Lead Bank-Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited Brahmonbaria Branch School Banking Conference Laxmipur, Year-2018, Lead Bank-Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited Laxmipur Branch School Banking Conference Pabna, Year2019, Lead Bank-Shahjalal Islami Bank, Pabna Branch However, School Banking Conference 2020 in different districts was cancelled all across Bangladesh by the decision of Bangladesh Bank to avoid social contact due to pandemic. As such, Shahjalal Islami Bank also canceled its scheduled School Banking Conference 2020 in Patuakhali district for COVID 19 in the year 2020. Instead, branches of SJIBL were instructed to continue opening school banking accounts. The upward trend of School Banking Account opening ensures SJIBL’s commitment for inclusive economy of the country by inclusion of all minor student accounts: School Banking AC in Number In the end of December 2020 cumulative outstanding amount in school banking account stood at Tk.138.20 million. SJIBL has been planning to promote school banking with fresh campaigns in post COVID phase so that huge number of school banking accounts can be opened and targeted financial literacy can be achieved. Ensuring Inclusive Growth as Social Commitment of SJIBL In Bangladesh, Poverty levels are yet very high, and access to products and services are unacceptably low. In SJIBL, we have designed and developed inclusive growth strategy that allows us to cost-effectively extend our reach into smaller markets that exist well beyond the large cities. Taking vital financial products and services closer to the mass people will aid in reducing the cost of living for the poorest of the poor. Inclusive growth is a concept that advances equitable opportunities for economic participants during economic growth with benefits incurred by every section of society. The definition of inclusive growth implies direct links between the macroeconomic and microeconomic determinants and economic growth. Bangladesh has embraced a wide range of financial inclusion since 2010 by allowing a vast population to open an account with an initial deposit of Tk. 10 to Tk. 100 as the government looked to bring the unbanked under the umbrella of the banking sector. In addition, there was a requirement of digital financial inclusion to address the pandemic-stricken economy. Such financial system also helped people maintain social distancing to avoid the deadly pathogen. In promoting inclusive growth Shahjalal Islami Bank has been setting new agent banking booths in different unbanked areas by avoiding risk of COVID 19. Amidst challenges of COVID 19 SJIBL agent banking booths are working with commitment and sincerity that has been helping to expand banking in under penetrated areas. Financial Inclusion Avenues Tradi�onal Banking Digital Banking Agent Banking 26,080 17,110 12,457 Branches SMS & Internet Banking ATM Digital Wallet 7,470 2017 2018 2019 2020 Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited
  140. 138 Another successful attempt of SJIBL is launching internet banking for customers . Realizing the importance of digital platform, internet banking was launched amidst COVID 19 which inspired many existing customers of SJIBL for choosing it as preferable organization. From the same realization of the growing importance of digital platform, SJIBL launched SJIBL Net or app based banking which is the latest technology in banking industry of Bangladesh. Many potential customers who were not ready to take SJIBL service are now responding quite positively which will help in more traffic of customers into SJIBL. CSR is another strong weapon for SJIBL to contribute into financial inclusion. In 2020, healthcare sector was more emphasized for CSR which was also a regulatory requirement. Medical equipments were distributed to the hospitals and clinics that were dealing with COVID patients. Year 2020 exclusively emphasized upon health so that healthcare of financially marginalized people could also be ensured. Apart from the above issues, social obligation also appears with investment clients in which case following factors are considered by SJIBL management: Social Obligation in investment of SJIBL As part of social obligation, Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited addresses following four (04) mandatory social issues for all its investment proposals to comply with regulatory requirement: Occupa�onal Health & Safety (OHS) Risk Labor and Working Condi�ons Community Health, Safety and Security Community consulta�on with key stakeholders including Indigenous people ANNUAL REPORT 2020 ●● Customer reputation/ image as perceived by all its stakeholders. ●● Negative media report ●● Serious accident or incident ●● Workers unrest, riots, demonstration in the road etc. ●● Any past record of non-compliance related fine or penalties by regulatory bodies. Patronization to different Social, Cultural & Sports programs as a socially responsible organization COVID-19 is considered a game changer for sponsorship and patronization. Many events have already been cancelled, and many more are likely to be cancelled, postponed or converted into digitalized form. As such, SJIBL renegotiated all sponsorships in light of practical scenario as a socially and ethically responsible business organization. SJIBL sponsored many programs in digital platforms in the year 2020 to maintain social distancing.
  141. 139 The concept of “sponsor” is also considered a kind of social responsibility. Corporate organizations give sponsor not always for branding but also to promote a certain sector or project. Apart from branding many national and international programs, small social, cultural and sports programs are patronized locally under the banner of “branding” only to help for greater community development. Sponsorship We have donated a substantial amount of money to BIBM in the year of 2020 to promote education, training and research on banking and finance of Bangladesh. All types of national and international cultural and sports programs were suspended from March, 2020 and onward due to lock down for COVID 19. However, awareness and public relation were continued using digital platforms. SJIBL sponsored many health awareness programs on corona virus in different private televisions. Mentionable that prior to the spread of COVID 19, SJIBL sponsored “2nd Palli Kabi Premier League 2020” organized by Kabi Jasim Uddin Hall Student Union of the University of Dhaka in January 2020. Community Development Sustainable Finance Department of Bangladesh Bank has issued circular latter no.06 dated 31 December, 2020 to do Sustainability Rating like CAMELS Rating from 2021 and onward on different sustainability criteria of banks and FIs, some of which are directly related to community development: ●● Minimum 20% female employees in the workforce ●● Minimum 25% CSR expenditure on rural areas Sustainability Rating being new in banking sector’s rating, banks and FIs are supposed to comply the above from 2021 and onward. However, SJIBL has already a remarkable number of female work forces and SJIBL CSR is channeled through rural and urban branches simultaneously. Community development is a holistic approach grounded in principles of empowerment, human rights, financial inclusion, social justice, self-determination and collective action. Community development considers community members to be experts in their lives and communities, and values community knowledge and wisdom. It has an explicit focus on the redistribution of power to address the causes of inequality and disadvantage. There are actually two approaches of SJIBLs community development: 1) Contribution to welfare economy and 2) Contribution to Sustainable Investment/Finance. Contribu�on to Sustainable Investment or Finance Contribu�on to Welfare Economy CSR & Zakat Digital Banking Tax & VAT Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited is committed to serve the society through employment creation, support community projects etc. and be a responsible corporate citizen. Every year many new employees are recruited in this organization. As a socially responsible organization, SJIBL recognizes that there is a strong need to contribute to the society and support the community on financial or non-financial basis with a view to pay back to the society. Financial literacy campaign is one of such steps. SJIBL run financial literacy campaign through all its branches. Due to COVID 19 financial literacy campaign was run on digital platform during 2020. SJIBL pays direct and indirect tax to government treasury and thus contribute to national growth. Besides, as an Islamic bank it always pays a substantial amount of Zakat and facilitates Hajj service to a remarkable number of pilgrims every year. Refinance at lower rate Green Finance Agriculture & SME Investment In spite of agreement signed with HAAB, no step can be taken since Hajj program was cancelled by Saudi Arabian government in 2020 for COVID 19. If COVID can be controlled, SJIBL will facilitate Hajj for pilgrims in 2021. SJIBL has paid an appreciable amount of Zakat in the year 2020 which was Tk. 160.98 million. The proceeds were distributed among different eligible beneficiaries as per Islamic Shariah. As a shariah compliant bank, SJIBL gives zakat on its statutory reserve and retained earnings each year and the zakat fund is utilized for greater public welfare as per regulations of Islamic Shariah. In the year 2020 an amount of Tk. 160.98 has been distributed as zakat which is Tk. 140.73 million in 2019. Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited
  142. 140 SME Investment As per Bangladesh Bank SMESPD circular No-02 dated 05 September 2020 , every year SME Loan/Investment will have to be increased by 1% (in disbursement) and by year 2030 it will have to be increased to 50% of the total disbursement target of each scheduled bank. SJIBL SME team has been moving with the objective to fulfill the target. There is also separate women entrepreneurship desk in the bank. The main objective of SJIBL SME investment is growth of entrepreneurship which in turn ensures growth of the community. SJIBL do not allow investment where interest of the minority or indigenous people might be jeopardized. The growth of SME investment is satisfactory in SJIBL. Manufacturing sector mainly dominates SJIBL SME which is Tk.42,550 million. Side by side with medium and small sector, SJIBL has been giving investment for micro and cottage industry. Total SME investment of SJIBL was Tk. 72,573 million in 2020. The specialty of SJIBL CMSME investment is shown in the diagram below: Quicker Approval process Lesser Documenta�on SJIBL CMSME Banking Collateral Free Investment Dedicated CMSME Personnel If the owner of proprietorship Business is women or if 51% of the total shares in either partnership business or private limited company owned by the women, it is treated as “Women Entrepreneur” by SJIBL women entrepreneurship desk. SJIBL financed women entrepreneurs to promote female entrepreneurship and disbursed Tk. 1310.66 million in 2020 for women entrepreneurs. Onion financing under SJIBL Agriculture Investment Scheme Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited received Shommanona Sharok at Banker & SME Women Entrepreneur Conference and Product exhibition Fair-2020 Agriculture Investment surrogate promotes agriculture through different refinance schemes. Recently Bangladesh Bank offered refinance at only 4% profit rate through its COVID-led Agriculture Refinance Scheme to recover affected agro businesses. Another priority sector of government is agriculture and there is a large demand of pulses, oil seeds, maize and spices in the country. But due to insufficient production, we have to import them. Apart from crops and fisheries, live stocks are dominant agricultural product in Bangladesh. Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited disburses agriculture investment every year on crops, fisheries and live stocks. In the year 2020 the bank disbursed Tk.4,996 million as Agri Investment out of which Tk.570 million was in the form of refinance at lower rate. Bangladesh Bank as governments ANNUAL REPORT 2020 In this backdrop, Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited gave agriculture investment only @ 4 percent profit rate for cultivating pluses, oilseeds, spices and maize. In 13 January 2020 with a ceremony Shahjalal Islami Bank gave Tk.1.50 Million Agri investments to Ethnic People of Tangail and Mymansing District which is a step towards financial inclusion of the Bank.
  143. 141 Other issues SJIBL focused on dispensing digital banking services to its customers located in rural areas through its Agent Banking platform . Through this platform that truly helps achieve our objective of democratizing access to formal banking, we were able to offer cost-effective, secure and faster banking services, facilitated by simplified processes and automated systems. In a dynamic business environment, SJIBL is also reinforcing this platform with a plethora of world-class security features as well as scalability that will ensure that the platform is able to serve evolving business and regulatory requirements. 40% of Branch customers traffic lifted-off/diverted to SJIBL ADC (ATM, Internet Banking, Credit Card etc.) in 2020 SJIBL contribute in all three aspects of sustainability. Social contribution is made through CSR and different sponsor to ensure equitable society, environmental contribution is made in the form of green finance and in-house environmental management to make climate change bearable. On the other hand, economic contribution is made by giving direct and indirect tax to the government treasury to make the economy viable. In order to comply with regulatory requirement, SJIBL has dedicated and special desks in different branches with officers assigned with adequate training and experience. SJIBL Women Entrepreneurship Desk SJIBL SME Desk SJIBL Sustainable Finance Desk Steps taken to address COVID 19 Besides, SJIBL offer refinance to its clients as per agreement with different national and international authorities.

  146. 144 INTEGRATED REPORTING ANNUAL REPORT 2020
  147. 145 OUR APPROACH TO INTEGRATED REPORT An integrated report is a concise communication about how an organization ’s strategy, governance, performance and prospects lead to the creation of value over the short, medium and long term. The primary purpose of an integrated report is to explain to providers of financial capital how an organization creates value over time. However, an integrated report benefits all stakeholders interested in an organization’s ability to create value over time, including employees, customers, suppliers, business partners, local communities, legislators, regulators and policymakers. An integrated report aims to provide insight about the resources and relationships used and affected by an organization- collectively referred to as ‘the capitals’. It seeks to explain how the organization interacts with the external environment and the capitals to create value over the short, medium and long term. The capitals are categorized in the international framework as financial, manufactured, intellectual, human, social & relationship and natural capital. External Assurance Standards and Principles We have taken external assurance from the following audit firms/ organizations for maintaining proper transparency: ●● Financial Assurance ●● Financial Statements of SJIBL Financial Statements of SJIBL Securities Provident Fund Gratuity Fund Given By ACNABIN, Chartered Accountants K.M.

  148. 146 BUSINESS MODEL Resilient capitalism needs financial stability and sustainability in order to succeed and Integrated Reporting is intended to underpin both of these issues through communicating to providers of all capitals . Therefore, a report of mere financial data is no longer sufficient, but has to be extended with information about our exchanges with all capitals- financial, manufactured, intellectual, human, social & relationship and natural. Just as money is not natural, but a 7,000 year old cultural invention that became meaningful with financial value, same with capitals. All these capitals work as input on business activities that result in output for the same in the form of value creation as depicted in below Business Model: Our Capitals Financial Capital Social & Rela�onship Capital Human Capital Manufactured Capital Intellectual Capital Natural Capital ANNUAL REPORT 2020 What We Do COMMERCIAL BANKING We invest money to customers to support their growth aspira�ons and working capital needs in shariah compliant manner.

The Government of Bangladesh initiated a nation-wide lock-down from March 26, 2020 for three weeks which was extended to May 30, 2020 in three phases. Several countries took unprecedented fiscal and monetary actions to alleviate the impact of the crisis. The Central Bank of Bangladesh has announced several measures to ease stress in the financial system, including enhancing system liquidity, a moratorium on investment repayments for borrowers, asset classification standstill benefit to overdue accounts where a moratorium has been granted and relaxation in liquidity coverage requirement, among others. Taking this into consideration, SJIBL is closely monitoring the scenario and reinforcing its operational position to handle any uprising situation. Risk is inescapable in the banking business, as such risk management is an integral part of the culture across the bank.

  169. 167 FROM THE DESK OF CHIEF RISK OFFICER (CRO) Keeping Enough Strength in Challenging Moment Mohammed Ashfaqul Hoque, FCA, FCS Chief Risk Officer The whole world is going through one of the most turbulent situations with challenges which are unprecedented due to the outbreak of the Covid-19 Pandemic. Economic activity had almost come to a standstill as we lived through a period of intense uncertainties and the impact is sweeping across every segment of society. However, amidst these challenges, it is evident that these events have only accelerated the pace of change and these will perpetuate a revolutionary change in the field of new technological paradigms which are difficult to envisage at present. Considering the ongoing situation, it’s expected that 2021 is going to be a turning point. But the good news is that the introduction of the Covid-19 vaccination has come up with a ray of hope by giving us a signal that turmoil situation is going to be minimized. Since the beginning of my journey as Chief Risk Officer (CRO), I have deeply observed that Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited (SJIBL) has demonstrated strength in steering through challenging circumstances. The businesses of the Bank have been driven with a focus on risk-calibrated profitable growth. The financial statements of the Bank have been strengthened substantially as well as risk management practices have focused on generating sustainable and stable growth in business. The steps taken have enabled the Bank to emerge more dynamic and this reflects at the performance of the Bank in the year 2020. Sound Risk Management Framework The Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited (SJIBL) is constantly scanning the risk background for new areas of potential concern and taking informed risk decisions while engaging with customers, granting investment, entering into treasury dealings and providing other services. In this regard, the Bank employs a comprehensive approach to risk management so that it may mitigate the risks it faces with a sound Risk Management Framework (RMF) without obviating its appetite for risk. The RMF is evaluated yearly by the Board Risk Management Committee (BRMC). The Bank is continuing to invest extensively in technology in order to develop and expand its risk management capabilities. Bank’s Risk Profile and Performance in 2020 In 2020, the Bank has remained resilient, with its asset quality remaining broadly stable, as well as its capital and liquidity metrics, continuing to be at healthy levels. The comparative analysis of key risk profile indicators are outlined below in the table: Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited
  170. 168 Risk Category and Parameter Investment Risk : Quality of Investments Portfolio 31.12.2020 <5% 4.57% 4.91% Net NPI Ratio <3.50% 2.82% 3.26% Provision Maintenance Ratio ≥100% 100.16% 100.00% Gross NPI Ratio Rated Investments of Total Eligible Investments portfolio 90.05% 83.68% ≤92% 79.62% 87.47% Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) ≥100% 390.52% 204.10% Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) >100% 130.31% 150.47% 5.94% Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) Strategic Risk 31.12.2019 80% - 100% Investment Deposit Ratio (IDR) Liquidity Risk Actual Position Policy Parameter Key Risk Indicator ≥4% 4.74% Statutory Liquidity Requirement (SLR) ≥5.50% 11.50% 7.43% Minimum Capital Ratio (CRAR) Plus Capital Consurvation Buffer ≥12.50% 14.19% 15.58% Tier-I Capital Plus Conservation Buffer ≥8.50% 9.15% 9.03% Tier-II Capital (Gone Concern Capital)* ≤4% 5.04% 6.55% Leverage Ratio ≥3% 5.29% 5.38% AA2(ST-2) AA2(ST-2) AA2(ST-2) Surveillance Rating-CRAB *Tier-II capital is admissible above 4% of RWAs up to 88.89% of excess CET-1 capital ratio over 7%. The above table proves that the quality of investments, liquidity and capital position of the Bank is strong enough to continue its operation smoothly. However, The Bank remains vigilant against existing and emerging risks that may impact its business and utilize portfolio reviews and stress testing to assess the risk landscape. In 2020, the Bank has focused on dealing with these existing and emerging risks by taking into consideration on: ●● Increasing the status of ratings of eligible investment clients for minimizing Risk Weighted Assets (RWA) as well as the capital requirement of the Bank. ●● Building a robust risk management culture across the Bank. ●● Raising awareness on risk management by providing adequate training. Bank’s Risk Management Approach The Bank Management has embedded the Risk Management Framework (RMF) across the Bank including branches and subsidiaries. It allows the Bank to identify and manage risks holistically as well as strengthening the Bank’s capabilities to understand, articulate and control the nature and level of the risks the Bank Management takes while still serving its clients soundly. In 2020, the Executive Risk Management Committee (ERMC) reviewed the RMF. During this process, the ERMC analyzed Core Risks and made improvements to the Bank’s approach to the Core Risks Management Committee (CRMC) in order to mitigate the risks more smoothly. The Bank will consider whether any of the other existing or emerging risks should be treated as material risks over time. The table below provides an overview of the bank’s Core Risks and risk management process. Type of Core Risks Investment Risk Managing Process The Bank has a robust investment risk policy framework embedded with prudent investment guidelines to minimize investment defaults and losses and manages its investment exposures following the principle of diversification across products, geographical area, client segments and industry sectors. Asset and Liability Risk The Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) of the Bank has analyzed the market liquidity and investment position as well as profit rate of deposit and investment while reviewing and offering deposit profit rate with attractive deposit products of Bank in line with industry and holds an adequate buffer of HQLA to survive extreme but plausible liquidity stress scenarios for at least 30 days without recourse to extraordinary central bank support. Foreign Exchange Risk The Bank maintains its FX holdings as per the need faced by the clients and manages Foreign Exchange Risk within the approved Risk Appetite. The Bank is also conscious of managing FX positions so that any FX losses don’t cause material damage to its regular FX operation. Internal Control and The Bank has effective guidelines to maintain strong internal control systems through which regular and special inspections are conducted by the team of IC&CD and report accordingly to the higher management of the Bank. Compliance Risk Money Laundering Risk The Bank has formulated “Guidelines on Prevention of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing” and applies, measures and monitors risk-based Customer Due Diligence (CDD), business relationship and transaction pursuant to national regulations and international standards. ICT Risk The Bank continuously enriches its technology risk management capabilities by adopting a strong “Information & Communication Technology (ICT) Security policy” and reviews its system fluctuations and penetration testing and a dedicated IT audit team carries out its functions to ensure findings which are sufficiently addressed to a higher authority. Apart from dealing with these Core Risks, SJIBL as a practitioner of Shariah Based Islami Banking also faces Shariah Non-Compliance Type of Risks Shariah NonCompliance Risk ANNUAL REPORT 2020 Risk and takes action to manage the same risk more efficiently by taking this into consideration as follows: Managing Process The Bank has established Shariah Supervisory Board (SSB) and Shariah Inspections and Report Review Committee (SIRRC) in order to monitor and review Shariah Compliance in the Islamic Banking Business.

  171. 169 a refreshed approach on the enhancement of operating model to clarify accountabilities between the first and second lines of defense ; increased training and awareness alongside crisis management exercises to ensure business responses with a focus on clients and critical services which has facilitated greater insights into the Bank’s risk position. In addition to the Core Risk Types that the bank manages through risk type frameworks, policies, and risk appetite, the bank also keeps an inventory of Emerging Risks. Focus on Key Risk Priorities In view of the challenging risk environment, it is essential that the Bank continues to optimize the way of risk is managed within the Bank. Innovation is the prime agenda of Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited and the Bank is making progress on the risk priorities set out on a need basis: ●● ●● ●● Strengthen the Bank’s Risk Culture: The Bank’s Risk Management Framework (RMF) has been embedded and rolled out to all concerns of the Bank. In 2020, internal messaging from senior management promotes a healthy risk culture by valuing risk-based thinking across each line of defense, encouraging risk awareness, challenging the present position and creating a transparent, safe and open environment for employees to communicate risk concerns. Emphasize on Client’s Credit Rating: SJIBL always remains vigilant about the rating status of the clients and monitors the rating status of the investment clients on a regular basis as SJIBL presumes that credit rating is an effective tactic to manage and mitigate investment risk. The bank provides noticeable attention to the branch level so that the branch also remains watchful about increasing the number of credit rating clients. A significant improvement in the rating status of the clients is made in this year as the percentage of rated clients stood at 90.05% in 2020 which was 83.68% in the previous year. Enhance Information and Cyber Security (ICS): A new strategy of Bank’s ICS has been developed to align with the overall corporate strategy and drive cohesion across the Bank on managing ICS Risk. In 2020, the Bank embedded Type of Emerging Risks Climate-related transition Risk Regulatory Changes, Regulatory reviews, investigations and legal proceedings New technologies and digitalization, including business disruption risk and obsolescence risk Risk trend since 2019* ●● Managing Climate Change Risk: Climate change remains one of the greatest challenges facing the world today, given its widespread and proven impacts on the environment and human life. The Bank recognizes the need to manage both its contribution through direct and financed emissions and the financial and non-financial risks arising from climate change. The Bank is responding responsibly and has committed to measure, manage and ultimately reduce the emissions linked to its financing in line with the Guidelines of regulatory authorities. ●● Manage Financial Crime Risks: The Bank remains committed to be leading in the fight against financial crime. The Bank reclassified the Fraud Risk sub-type from Operational Risk to Financial Crime Risk, thus providing new insights and a more holistic view of Financial Crime threats. The Bank is demonstrating delivery against its mission through its Correspondent Banking Channels, its ongoing deployment of upgraded systems for AML, sanctions, fraud and customer due diligence. Bank’s Insightful View towards Emerging Risks Emerging Risks refer to unpredictable and uncontrollable outcomes from certain events and circumstances which are on the radar but not yet fully measurable may have the potential to impact our business materially. The following table summarizes the Emerging Risks that the Bank may face and its managing process: Managing Process ●● The Bank is developing a Climate Risk framework to deliver a consistent approach to climate risk management. ●● The Bank is actively collaborating with clients, regulators, investors to solve the collective challenges in the approach to managing climate-related risks. ●● The Bank continues to train and educate its human resources on relevant issues including conduct, conflicts of interest, information security and financial crime compliance in order to reduce its exposure to legal and regulatory proceedings. ●● The Bank repeatedly monitors emerging trends, opportunities and risks in the technology space which may have implications on its core banking operations. ●● The Bank continues to make headway in harnessing new technologies, actively targeting the reduction of obsolescent/end of support technology and ensuring operational resilience. ●● The Bank has an integrated strategy to leverage technology to manage new technological risk and combat cyber-enabled financial crime.

Final Words Risk is an area that provides both challenges and opportunities. The sound Risk Management Framework will act as a catalyst of key elements to the ultimate success of the Bank. The bank was hit by an outbreak of the novel coronavirus in early 2020. But the Bank continues its vigilant focus on its risk management capabilities that will help the Bank to navigate these headwinds, to ensure a sustainable, innovative, resilient and more convenient client-oriented Bank. The awareness of the Bank’s such precaution and vigilance is being treated as key to the optimum success of the Bank and helps the Bank to look forward to walking in the journey of uncertainty and taking challenges and exploring new opportunities full of thrilling and excitement.

  172. 170 RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK Sound risk management is essential in delivering consistent and sustainable performance for all of stakeholders and is therefore a central part of the financial and operational management of the Bank . The Bank adds value to clients and the communities in which they operate by taking and managing appropriate levels of risk, which in turn generates returns for shareholders. The Bangladesh economy would be impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic with contraction in industrial and services output across small and large businesses. The banking system is expected to be impacted by lower growth of investment and income in the short to medium term and an increase in operational costs. The effect of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Bank’s output is still unclear, as it depends on the spread of the virus, additional government and central bank measures to alleviate economic distress, Bank actions and the time it takes for economic activity to return to normal levels. It is presumed that the inventory and subsequently introduction of vaccines against Covid-19 has fetched a ray of new hope across the whole world as the wheel of the world economy will move on in its own way soon. Bangladesh’s economy is also trying to come back at its own rhythm because Bangladesh Bank and the government have been extensively introducing effective financial initiatives to come out of this situation. Taking this into consideration, the bank is closely monitoring the scenario and reinforcing its operational position to handle any uprising situation. 1.0 Risk Management Overview Risk management is a discipline at the core of every banking company and encompasses all activities that affect its risk profile. A bank should attach considerable importance to improve the ability to identify, measure, monitor and control the overall risks assumed. Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited (SJIBL) embraces risk management as an integral part of its business, operations and decisionmaking processes. In ensuring that SJIBL achieves optimum returns whilst operating within a sound business environment, the risk management teams are involved at the early stage of the risk-taking process by providing independent inputs, including relevant valuations, investment evaluations, new product assessments and quantification of capital requirements. These inputs enable the business units to assess the risk-vs-reward of its propositions, thus enabling risk to be priced appropriately in relation to the return. Generally, the objectives of Bank’s risk management activities are to: ●● Promote better risk culture ●● Develop the standards for risk management practices ●● Ensure that risk-taking activities are consistent with risk policies and the aggregated risk positions are within the risk appetite as approved by the Board ANNUAL REPORT 2020 ●● Improve internal financial soundness and stability ●● Adopt and implement a sound risk management framework and ●● Introduce important risk management tools and techniques for assessment and necessary treatment of different risks 2.0 Bank’s Risk Management Policy It is important not only to fulfill regulatory requirements but also to improve the financial and operational performance of the Bank. The risk management policy has progressed as a key part of the organizational structure. Indeed, it is now more vital for the stability of banks in the long run. Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited has an all-inclusive outlook on risk management. As a result, all of the activities related to risk management are being driven by the bank’s risk management policy, delineating a clear vision for our entire enterprise. SJIBL risk management policy covers detailed guidelines for sound risk management. We also adhere to the industry’s best practices at the national and international levels. To illustrate this, SJIBL risk management policy includes, but is not limited to, the following aspects: ●● An outline of the dimensions of risk management ●● An inclusive risk management framework ●● A rigorous process for sound risk management ●● Emphasis on capital management for sound risk management ●● Application of disclosure requirements of risk reporting 3.0 Bank’s Risk Management Framework Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited has developed a Risk Management Framework (RMF) as a standardized approach to effectively manage its risks and opportunities. The Bank’s Risk Management Framework provides its Board and Management with tools to anticipate and manage both the existing and potential risks, taking into consideration changing risk profiles as dictated by changes in business strategies, the external environment and/or the regulatory environment. The key components of the Bank’s Risk Management Framework are represented in the diagram below:

The Board of Directors set the strategies and the senior management is responsible for implementing those strategies and communicating them throughout the Bank. Risk Appetite is defined as the amount and type of risks that the Bank is able and willing to accept in pursuit of its strategic and business objectives. SJIBL sets risk appetite including tolerance and limit every year to ensure appropriate alignment between strategy, growth aspirations, operating plans, capital and risk. Bank’s Risk Appetite Framework consists of risk capacity, risk appetite statement and key risk appetite measurement. Application of the risk appetite statement and monitoring of the key risk appetite measurement help to ensure the Bank stays within appropriate risk boundaries. Risk appetite statement plays an important role in cascading the risk strategy down through the Bank. As per instruction of the central bank, the Bank sends a board-approved copy of the same appetite to the Bangladesh Bank within the prescribed time each year.
  177. 175 3 .5 Risk Management Process Risk Management Process is the systematic application of management policies, procedures and practices to the assessment, treatment, controlling and monitoring of risk. It is an iterative process that, with each cycle, can contribute progressively to organizational improvement by providing management with a greater insight into risks and their impact. Risk assessment is the process of risk identification, analysis and evaluation. It is a series of multi-steps that, when undertaken in sequence, enable continual improvement in decision-making. Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited adopts the following steps of the Risk Management Process: ●● Communicate and Consult: This is a preparatory step that aims to identify the responsible persons involved in risk assessment and also the persons engaged in the treatment, monitoring and review of risk. ●● Establish the Context: This is another preparatory stage that closes to starting the formal risk management process. ●● Identify the Risks: The next step is to identify possible risks that may affect, either negatively or positively, the objectives of the business and the activity under analysis. ●● Analyze the Risks: The risk analysis step assists in determining which risks have a greater consequence or impact than others. ●● Evaluate the Risks: Risk evaluation involves comparing the level of risk found during the analysis process with previously established risk criteria and deciding whether these risks require treatment. ●● Treat the Risks: Risk treatment is about considering options for treating risks, evaluating those options, preparing the risk treatment plans and implementing those plans to achieve the desired outcome. ●● Monitor the Risks: Risks need to be monitored periodically to cope up with changing circumstances. The risk management process needs to be regularly repeated so that new risks are captured in the process and effectively managed. 3.6 Risk Management Tools and Models In managing investment, market, liquidity, and operational risks, Bank follows the latest six (6) Core Risk Management Guidelines, Stress Testing Guidelines and related circulars issued by Bangladesh Bank. Sound risk management includes different tools and models which are guided by the Bank’s risk appetite framework and integrated with the Bank’s strategies and business planning process. 3.6.1 Risk Policies, Procedures, Process, Standards and Limits Policies and Procedures The Board of Directors and Senior Management have formulated risk management policies and procedures to deal with various risks that arise from the bank’s business and operational activities.

  179. 177 RISK MITIGATION METHODOLOGY Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited develops and implements its own guidelines and different types of risk management tools inconsistent with the complexity , size and nature of the business, risk strategy and Bangladesh Bank guidelines to sound risk management and risk mitigation. The Bank considers capital adequacy, the expected level of profitability, market reputation, experienced personnel, logistic support, macro and microeconomic scenario, risk management practices, etc to determine its risk strategy. Bank’s reputation and achievement depend on the ability to identify, assess and mitigate risks at all levels. The Risk Management strategy is therefore fundamentally based on maintaining adequate capital, liquidity and operational control at all times in order to safeguard the interest of depositors, borrowers, shareholders and other stakeholders. 1.0 Risk Mitigation Approach NPI levels was assessed using a range of additional stress tests. In addition, the Bank reviewed the risk of elevated industries in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Notable action was also taken to mitigate Cyber risk by introducing several security measures. The Bank has adopted a Sound Risk Mitigation Approach (RMA) to ensure risk exposures within the Bank. Risks of the Bank are mitigated consistently in line with the Board-approved risk appetite that supports the Bank’s strategy. The RMA sets standardized practices to promote accountability and necessary oversight for the effective management of all these risk types. 2.0 Risk Management and Mitigation Tactics Risk mitigation tactics need to be dynamic to successfully establish sound risk management. However, there are certain types of risks which are more likely to occur and impede business goals. Hence, effective policy or action plans need to be in place to ensure highly effective risk management. In the banking business, the risk is inherent. As a result, risk management can have a significant impact on financials. As a part of regulatory and global benchmarking, the Bank has developed risk mitigation tactics based upon six (6) core risks guidelines of Bangladesh Bank and Basel framework. The acknowledged risks which the Bank are currently mitigating or intends to mitigate in the future are represented in the below diagram: Taking into consideration of COVID-19 pandemic situation and to alleviate the risks, the Bank has taken several fruitful steps in response to the COVID-19 pandemic including; work from home arrangements for staff, strict adherence to safety instructions issued by Health Authorities to ensure staff health and safety, and strengthening the Disaster Recovery sites as part of the Business Continuity Plan.

Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited
  188. 186 DISCLOSURE OF RISK REPORTING In the banking business , the risk is inherent. Risk needs to be minimized to achieve the organizational goal. Risk management has a significant impact on financials. Bangladesh Bank has identified 6 (six) key risks for Banks and issued policy guidelines for sound management of these core risks which are central to the functioning of risk management activities in the banking industry. As per Bangladesh Bank’s directive, Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited formulates its own strategies to manage particular risks i.e. Investment Risk, Market Risk, Operational Risk, Liquidity Risk, etc. and prepares risk management report monthly, quarterly, half-yearly and yearly basis in a comprehensive nature. 1.0 Risk Management Principles SJIBL is continuously following the international standards for managing risks as specified by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in its core principles of effective banking supervision which, along with others, are: PRINCIPLE 15 PRINCIPLE 16 PRINCIPLE 17 PRINCIPLE 18 PRINCIPLE 19 PRINCIPLE 20 Risk Management Process Capital adequacy Investment (Credit) risk Problem assets, provisions and reserves Concentra�on risk and large exposure limits Transac�ons with related par�es PRINCIPLE 21 PRINCIPLE 22 PRINCIPLE 23 PRINCIPLE 24 PRINCIPLE 25 Country and transfer risks Market risks Interest rate risk in the banking book Liquidity risk Opera�onal risk 2.0 Risk Profile & Risk Management Process Risk profile of a bank is measured by the economic capital usage calculated for investment, market and operational risk. Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited determines the overall risk positions by calculating total Risk-Weighted Assets (RWAs) of investment, market and operational risk at each quarter-end and allocated capital against them. The risk profile of Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited as measured by economic capital allocation by risk types are as follows:  Amount in Million Particulars Investment Risk Weighted Assets Market Risk-Weighted Assets Operational Risk Weighted Assets 2020 2019 175,181 164,316 4,136 4,077 16,838 14,383 As per the risk profile, Investment Risk was accounted for 89% of total Risk-Weighted Assets (RWA) where the Market Risk and Operational Risk were 2% and 9% respectively at the end of December-2020. 3.0 Capital Adequacy Capital adequacy is the measure of the financial strength and sustainability of a bank. Bank’s capital is the “cushion” for potential losses which protects the bank’s depositors or other borrowers. Thus, capital management is considered as an integral part of the risk management of Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited. The Bank has a capital management process in place to measure, deploy and monitor its available capital as per the guidelines on the Risk-Based Capital Adequacy Framework in line with the Basel III issued by Bangladesh Bank. 196,155 182,776 Minimum Capital Requirement 19,615 18,278 Capital to Risk Weighted Assets Ratio (CRAR)  Amount in Million Total Regulatory Capital 27,828 28,477 Particulars Total Risk-Weighted Assets Investment Risk Market Risk Opera�onal Risk ANNUAL REPORT 2020 2019 27,828 28,477 Total Risk Weighted Assets 196,155 182,776 CRAR 14.19% 15.58% Total Regulatory Capital Risk Profile (RAWs)-2020 2 9 89 2020 At the end of 2020 and 2019 Capital to Risk-Weighted Assets Ratio (CRAR) of Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited stood at 14.19% and 15.58% respectively which indicates that Bank is far above the Basel-III implementation road map of Bangladesh Bank to maintain targeted CRAR of 12.50% with buffer.
  189. 187 3 .1 Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR) under Pillar-1 of Basel III As per Basel III Road Map, Minimum Capital Requirement (MCR) for the banks in Bangladesh is currently 10.00% of its total RWA with the addition of Capital Conservation Buffer of 2.50% of total RWA from the year 2019.  Particulars Tier 1 Capital Tier 2 Capital Amount in Million 2020 2019 17,949 16,507 9,880 11,970 Total Regulatory Capital 27,828 28,477 Minimum Capital Required @ 10% of RWAs 19,615 18,278 Buffuer @ 2.50% of RWAs 4,904 4,569 Excess /Shortfall 3,309 5,630 At the end of 2020 and 2019, the total Regulatory Capital of Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited was BDT.27,828 million and BDT.28,477 million respectively. The Bank has maintained BDT.3,309 million and 5,630 million excess capital after deducting minimum requirement of 12.50% of RWAs plus buffer in 2020 and 2019 respectively. 3.2 Adequate Capital Requirement under ICAAP of Basel-III (Pillar-2) The Supervisory Review Process (Pillar-II of Basel-III) of the risk-based capital adequacy framework aims to ensure that banks have sufficient capital in place to mitigate all risks. It encourages banks to take action in creating and making proper use of sophisticated risk management techniques in terms of monitoring and managing the risks. Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited is maintaining an adequate level of capital each year as per Bangladesh Bank’s SREP review and the Bank has perfectly minimized the capital charge under residual risk year to year through rigorous oversight of the Bank’s SRP Team. 3.3 Market Disclosure: Pillar-III of Basel-III Market discipline has established transparency and discipline in the financial markets. Stakeholders can judge a bank’s position concerning assets held. It also allows them to take note of the risks relating to these assets and the adequacy of capital available to handle any likely losses. Thus, SJIBL has created a set of disclosure principles as per guidelines of Bangladesh Bank which includes information on assets, risk exposure, risk assessment processes, and capital adequacy to meet risk. The disclosure has been reported in another section of this annual report. 4.0 Stress Testing Report The underlying tool is used to assess the bank’s vulnerability to unexpected but presumable changes in various related factors (e.g. increase in NPI, change in the profit rate, fall of security value, etc.). The impact of this model is expressed through the change in the overall CRAR of the Bank. Central Bank has advised all banks to perform stress testing quarterly. The outcome of stress testing needs to be submitted to Bangladesh Bank upon review of senior management and Board. Stress Testing Result: Particulars Performing investment directly downgraded to B/L: Sectoral Concent. 1 Performing investment directly downgraded to B/L: Sectoral Concent. 2 Increase in NPIs due to default of top large investment( loan) borrowers Negative shift in NPIs categories Decrease in the FSV of collateral Increase in NPIs Profit(Interest) Rate FEX: Currency Appreciation Equity price Combined Shock CRAR after Combined Shock 5.0 Investment Risk Investment Risk arises from the potential when a bank’s borrower will fail to meet its obligations under agreed terms and results in a negative effect on the profitability and capital of the bank. Measuring the investment risk of an entire bank is a complicated assessment, involving many quantitative and qualitative factors. In the context of Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited, the most important of which are summarized below: 5.1 Investment Concentration: When the investment portfolio of a bank is concentrated within a few individuals or entities or sectors, investment concentration risk arises. Investment risk is increased from Investment concentration like portfolio, geographic, sector, group concentration, funded and non-funded, etc. To avoid concentration, the principle of investment diversification is followed as per the Risk Appetite Statement (RAS) and IRM policy guidelines. 2020 Minor Moderate (0.12) (0.37) (0.20) (0.60) (3.92) (5.84) (0.33) (1.37) (0.28) (0.57) (1.01) (3.56) 0.00 0.00 (0.02) (0.04) (0.23) (0.47) (1.87) (6.01) 12.31 8.18 Major (0.62) (1.00) (7.20) (1.96) (1.15) (7.80) 0.00 (0.07) (0.94) (11.92) 2.27 2019 Minor Moderate (0.16) (0.47) (0.11) (0.32) (3.92) (6.03) (0.36) (1.63) (0.32) (0.63) (1.03) (3.67) 0.00 0.00 (0.05) (0.10) (0.14) (0.28) (1.89) (6.31) 14.13 9.71 Major (0.78) (0.53) (8.13) (2.30) (1.28) (8.12) 0.00 (0.14) (0.57) (12.42) 3.60 Por�olio Concentra�on-2020 15.9% 12.3% 2.0% 3.1% 2.5% 0.3% 2.3% 61.8% Agri, Fishing & Forestry Industry Terade & Commerce Construc�on Transport Consumer financing Investment to Financial Ins�tu�ons Miscellaneous Industry Concentra�on-2020 0 10,569 35,918 35,876 14,205 6,158 118 546 3,055 1,186 11,587 2,316 RMG Tex�le Food & Allied Pharmaceu�cals Chemical, Fer�lizer, etc. Cement & Ceramics Ship Building Ship Breaking Power & Gas Other Manufacturing Service Others Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited

A good rating of the borrowers implies the identification of the quality borrowers that improve the quality of the asset and also require less capital. The client’s credit rating is considered the most important tool to manage investment risks as per the Standardized Approach of Risk-Based Capital Adequacy (RBCA) guidelines of Basel-III by Bangladesh Bank. The Bank gives more attention to its branches to increase the rated investment clients for reducing Risk-Weighted Assets (RWA). The rating growth is graphically presented here. Rest Borrowers 5.2 Assets Quality Quality of assets is the paramount importance and how well the banks manage it to remain with high quality of assets dictates the success of the Bank. One of the major parameters of measuring banks’ performance is the quality of assets. It draws attention to the quality of investment that provides earnings to the bank. This shows the stability of the bank when faced with particular risks. Investment Classifica�on-2020 5.4 Non Performing Investment (NPI) Non-Performing Investment (NPI) has severely spread into the country’s banking sector that impedes the overall economy to grow and deprives honest borrowers to collect required funds at a reasonable price and, for the rise of default culture, banks are losing out revenues and need to make provisioning against the bad investment from income.

Along with regulatory compliance, the implementation of IIRRS has further strengthened the risk assessment process against allowing credit facilities. The CRO is evaluating and viewed the risk profile of the clients with greater investment values than ever. ●● Deferral Documentation Review Project: As advised by the Management, RMD conducted a review on the Investment clients who are availing investment facility keeping deferral of documentation based on the position of 31.07.2020. The report contains the observations and recommendations along with the risk associated with the pending deferral of the documentation. Exiting meetings were held with related Branch Managers who were physically visited, prior to finalizing the Report that helped to reduce documentation lapses of the Bank. ●● Reduced Documentation Lapses: Bank is maintaining its additional capital requirement for documentation lapses for funded credit portfolio. During the year 2020, a strong monitoring process helps the Bank to reduce the capital charge against the documentation lapses. Risk Management Division of the Bank worked with the Audit Report of the Bank and screened the errors of documentation. Good numbers of lapses have been rectified through strong persuasions of RMD. As a result, the capital charge against Residual Risk has been reduced and the capital requirement under Residual Risk was at BDT. 168.40 million under ICAAP-2019 submitted in the last year-2020. ●● Maintaing HQLA: Bank is required to maintain adequate High-Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA) against Bank’s Commitments and the commitment would not be more than 250% of HQLA. Risk Management Division is pursuing continuously to bring the Commitment within the limit of 250% of HQLA. In the year 2020, Bank has maintained BDT. 42,087.94 million HQLA and reached the Ratio of Commitment to HQLA at 214.47% which is below the trigger point of 250% of HQLA. ●● Sectoral Lending Cap: Investment portfolio of the Banking Industry is concentrated in few sectors, areas or some large groups and SJIBL is no exception to the industry. To avoid the concentration risk, the Bank has duly adopted the lending cap for 2020 and throughout the year the Bank has regularly monitored the changes in the investment portfolio in line with the approved lending cap. Based on observations, various strategies have been formulated to During the year 2020, the Risk Management Division (RMD) of the bank took different initiatives to strengthen the overall risk management functions of the bank. Followings are the major initiatives taken by RMD for the year 2020: ●● ●● ●● ●● Reached at the Land Mark of Borrowers Credit Rating: Credit rating quantifies or assesses the creditworthiness of a borrower in general terms or with respect to a particular debt or financial obligation. Credit rating plays a pivotal role to reduce the RWA and helps to maintain the minimum capital at an adequate level. SJIBL has conducted numerous initiatives to take the challenge of achieving 90% credit rating of its rateable clients set by the Bank management and has achieved this milestone successfully at a percentage of 90.05 at the end of 31st December 2020. Improved Bank Risk Profile: Bank exposures both in the On & Off-Balance Sheet have been increased from year to year. Contrary, the Risk-Weighted Asserts (RWA) of Bank has been increased at a decreasing rate. Risk Management Division of the Bank has taken various initiatives to reduce the risk weight of the Assets of the Banks that results, the ratio of RWAs to Total Exposures (On & Off-Balance Sheet) stands at 58% at the end of 31st December 2020. Improved Capital Management: Risk Management Division always provides the necessary recommendations to the Board of Directors and the Senior Management of the bank to select the investment clients having creditworthiness, sound SME clients keeping adequate financial collaterals. It helped to reduce the capital requirement of the Bank. As a result, at the end of the year 2020, Bank has able to maintain an adequate CRAR of 14.19% against requirement of 12.50% and more specifically, Tier-1 Capital with Buffer at 9.15% as against 8.50% which is 0.65% higher than the standard. Appointed CRO with Specific Roles: It was a major regulatory compliance issue regarding segregation of duties of CRO as well as CRO and head of RMD to be the same person as per Risk Management Guidelines-2018 issued by Bangladesh Bank. For better risk management of the Bank, Risk Management Division has raised the issue and submitted a paper to Board to specify the roles and responsibilities and the reporting line of CRO. In the year 2020, the Board has appointed a new CRO of the Bank specifying the terms of reference and approved separate roles and responsibilities for the CRO.

  198. 196 DISCLOSURE OF RISK BASED CAPITAL (BASEL-III) Background and Purpose Basel III is an internationally agreed new set of capital and liquidity standards developed by the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision in response to the financial crisis of 200709. The objective of the reforms was to manage the use of excessive on and off-balance sheet leverage, the gradual erosion of level and quality of the capital base, insufficient liquidity buffer, pro-cyclicality and excessive interconnectedness among systematically important institutions. These factors are identified for reasons of bank failure. Through its reform package, BCBS also aims to improve risk management and governance as well as strengthen banks’ transparency and disclosures. To cope up with the international best practices and to make the bank’s capital shock absorbent, Bangladesh Bank issued ‘Guidelines on Risk-Based Capital Adequacy (Revised Regulatory Capital Framework for banks in line with Basel III) in December 2014 with the instructions to maintain the minimum capital requirement under pillar-1, an additional capital requirement under Pillar-2 and market disclosure requirement under Pillar-3. Shahjalal Islami Bank has also adopted the Basel-III framework as part of its capital management strategy in line with the revised guideline. As part of Basel-III compliance, Market Discipline (pillar 3) is formulated to establish a more transparent and more disciplined financial market so that stakeholders can assess the position of a bank regarding holding of assets and to identify the risks relating to the assets and capital adequacy to meet probable loss of assets. For the said purpose, Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited has developed a set of disclosure frameworks containing the key pieces of information on the assets, risk exposures, risk assessment processes, and hence the capital adequacy to meet the risks. Components of Disclosure Framework As per Bangladesh Bank’s guidelines, the following components are the disclosure requirements under Pillar-3 of the Basel framework: 1. Scope of Application 2. Capital Structure 3. Capital Adequacy 4. Investment (Credit) Risk 5. Equities: Disclosures for Banking Book Positions 6. Profit (Interest) Rate Risk in the Banking Book (PRRBB) 7. Market Risk 8.

  207. 205 6 . Profit (Interest) Rate Risk in the Banking Book (PRRBB) Qualitative Disclosures a) The general qualitative disclosure requirement including the nature of PRRBB and key assumptions, including assumptions regarding investment prepayments and behavior of non-maturity deposits, and frequency of PRRBB measurement. Profit rate risk is the risk where changes in market profit rates might adversely affect Bank’s financial condition. Changes in profit rates have the following two types of effect: i. Earning Perspective (Current Earnings): It affects a Bank’s earnings by changing its net profit income and the level of other profit (interest) sensitive income and operating expenses. The short-term impact of changes in profit rates is on the Bank’s Net Profit (Interest) Income (NII). ii. Economic Value Perspective (Net Worth of the Bank): The economic value of future cash flows changes when the profit rate changes. In the longer-term, changes in profit rates impact the cash flows on the assets, liabilities and offbalance sheet items, giving rise to a risk to the net worth of the Bank arising out of all re-pricing mismatches and other profit rates sensitive position. In Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited, the Treasury Division under the supervision of the Asset & Liability Committee (ALCO) is responsible for managing market risk arising from Banking book activities of the Bank. Techniques of Addressing PRRBB: Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited are applied the following techniques to manage the Profit Rate Risk in the Banking Book. Re-pricing Schedules Gap Analysis i. Dura�on ii. Quarterly Stress Tes�ng Re-pricing Schedules: It is the simplest techniques for measuring a Bank’s profit rate risk exposure and that is generating a maturity/re-pricing schedule that distributes profit sensitive assets, liabilities, and OBS positions into a certain number of predefined time bands according to their maturity (if fixed-rate) or time remaining to their next re-pricing (if floating-rate). Those assets and liabilities lacking definitive re-pricing intervals (e.g. sight deposits or savings accounts) or actual maturities that could fluctuate from contractual maturities are assigned to re-pricing time bands according to judgment and past experience of the Bank. Gap Analysis: It helps to assess the profit rate risk of current earnings. To evaluate earnings exposure, profit rate-sensitive liabilities in each time band are subtracted from the corresponding profit rate-sensitive assets to produce a re-pricing “gap” for that time band. This gap is then multiplied by an assumed changed in profit rates to yield an approximation of the change in net profit income that would result from such a profit rate movement. i. Duration: A maturity/re-pricing schedule is also used to evaluate the effects of changing profit rates on a Bank’s economic value by applying sensitivity weights to each time band. Typically, such weights are based on estimates of the duration of assets and liabilities that fall into each time band. ii. Quarterly Stress Testing: It is conducted quarterly as per the directives of Bangladesh Bank to gain better insight into the vulnerable issue of PRRBB. Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited

Market risk Qualitative Disclosures a) i) Views of BOD on trading/investment activities ii) Methods used to measure market risk iii) Market Risk Management system iv) Policies and processes for mitigating market risk The Board approves all policies related to market risk, limits and review on Core Risk compliance on a regular basis. The objective is to provide cost-effective funding to finance asset growth and trade-related transactions. Standardized approach has been used to measure the market risk. The total capital requirement in respect of market risk is the aggregate capital requirement calculated for each of the risk sub-categories. For each risk category, the minimum capital requirement is measured in terms of two separately calculated capital charges for “specific risk” and “general market risk”. The Treasury Division manages market risk covering liquidity, profit rate and foreign exchange risks with oversight from the Asset-Liability Management Committee (ALCO) comprising senior executives of the Bank. ALCO is chaired by the Managing Director. ALCO meets at least once a month. There are approved limits for Investment (credit) to deposit ratio, liquid assets to total assets ratio, maturity mismatch, commitments for both on-balance sheet and off-balance sheet items and borrowing from money market and foreign exchange position. The limits are monitored and enforced on a regular basis to protect the loss against market risks. The exchange rate of the Bank is monitored regularly and the Bank reviews the prevailing market condition, exchange rate, foreign exchange position and transactions to mitigate foreign exchange risks.

By its nature, Operational Risk cannot be eliminated. Like other Banks, SJIBL also operates its business with few potential external events that may significantly affect the Bank into operational risks are as follows: ●● General business and political condition ●● Inflation ●● Changes in taxation rules ●● The risk of the litigation process ●● Changes in the credit quality of borrowers ●● Damage of physical asset ●● Volatility in the equity market ●● Information security ●● External fraud, Vendor Risk, etc. ●● Business disruption and system failure etc. ●● Directives from Regulatory Authorities ●● Changes in Environment, Climate, etc. To mitigate the day-to-day Operations Manual including Internal Control & Compliance, Risk Manual is approved by the Board taking into account the relevant guidelines of Bangladesh Bank. Senior Management Team (SMT), Executive Committee, Risk Management Division (RMD) & Banking Operations Division (BOD) regularly analyzed different outlook of Operational Risks and go up the findings to appropriate authority and Internal Control & Compliance Division (IC & CD) formulate appropriate policies to alleviate Operational Risk of the Bank. Apart from that, there is adequate check & balance at every stage of operation through Department Control Function Check List (DCFCL), Quarterly Operations Report (QOR), Key Risk Indicator (KRI), Internal Audit, etc. v) Approach for calculating the capital charge for Basic Indicator Approach (BIA) was used for calculating the capital charge for operational operational risk risk as per Guidelines on Risk-Based Capital Adequacy of Bangladesh Bank. Under BIA, the capital charge for operational risk is a fixed percentage, denoted by α (alpha) of the average positive annual gross income of the Bank over the past three years and multiply the average income by 15% to determine capital charges. Figures for any year in which annual gross income is negative or Zero should be excluded from both the numerator and denominator when calculating the average. Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited

Liquidity Ratio Qualitative Disclosures i) Liquidity Risk Liquidity risk is the risk that a given security or asset cannot be traded quickly enough in the market to prevent a loss (or make the required profit) or when a Bank is unable to fulfill its commitments in time when payment falls due. Thus, liquidity risk can be of two types: (i) Funding liquidity risk and (ii) Market liquidity risk. ii) Views of Board of Directors on system to reduce The Bank’s Board of Directors already approved the strategy and significant policies liquidity risk related to the management of liquidity. According to the strategy and policies, SJIBL maintains a diversified and stable funding base comprising of core retail, corporate and institutional deposits to manage liquidity risk. The responsibility of managing the liquidity risk of the Bank lies with Treasury Front Office. Different key ratios including LCR and NSFR are regularly discussed in the monthly meeting of ALCO. The committee meets at least once a month to review the Asset-Liability and Liquidity position of the Bank. Treasury Division maintains liquidity based on current liquidity position, anticipated future funding requirement, sources of fund, options for reducing funding needs and ALCO monitors present and anticipated asset quality, present and future earning capacity, present and planned capital position, etc. iii) Methods used to measure liquidity risk A sound liquidity risk management employed in measuring, monitoring and controlling liquidity risk is critical to the viability of the Bank. The measurement tools which are used to assess liquidity risks are: i. Cash Reserve Requirement (CRR); ii. Statutory Liquidity Ratio (SLR); iii. Investment to Deposit Ratio (IDR); iv. Structural Liquidity Profile (SLP); v. Maximum Cumulative Outflow (MCO); vi. Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR); vii. Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) etc. iv) Liquidity risk management system The Asset Liability Committee (ALCO) meets at least once a month to discuss and monitor the overall position of the Bank including liquidity. Treasury Division closely monitors liquidity requirements on daily basis by appropriate coordination among funding activities. Besides, monthly fund flow projection is reviewed in ALCO meetings regularly in order to manage the liquidity risk of the Bank. v) Policies and processes for mitigating liquidity risk In order to develop a comprehensive liquidity risk management framework, the Bank has a Board-approved Contingency Funding Plan (CFP), a set of policies and procedures that serves as a blueprint for the Bank, to meet its funding needs in a planned manner at a reasonable cost. Thus, CFP is an extension of ongoing liquidity management that formalizes the objectives of liquidity management by ensuring: a) Reasonable liquid assets being maintained; b) Measurement and projection of funding requirements during various scenarios; and c) Management of access to sources of funds. Maturity ladder of cash inflows and outflows is an effective tool to determine the Bank’s cash position. A maturity ladder estimates a Bank’s cash inflows and outflows and thus net deficit or surplus (GAP) on a day to day basis in different time buckets (e.g. call, 2-7 days, 1 month, 1-3 months, 3-12 months, 1-5 years, over 5 years).

Leverage Ratio Qualitative Disclosures a) i) Views of Board of Directors on system to reduce The responsibility of monitoring the excessive leverage of the Bank lies with the excessive leverage concerned divisions under the guidance of the Board of Directors of the Bank. The Board delivers policies and processes from time to time for managing the Bank’s leverage ratio up to the mark. ii) Policies and processes for managing excessive on and The leverage ratio was introduced into the Basel-III framework as a non-risk-based off-balance sheet leverage backstop limit, to supplement risk-based capital requirements. In order to avoid building-up excessive on and off-balance sheet leverage in the Banking system, a simple, transparent, non-risk-based leverage ratio has been introduced by the Bangladesh Bank. The leverage ratio is calibrated to act as a credible supplementary measure to the risk-based capital requirements. The leverage ratio is intended to achieve the following objectives: ●● iii) Approaches for calculating exposure Constrain the build-up of leverage in the Banking sector for the broader financial system and the economy; and ●● Reinforce the risk-based requirements with an easy-to-understand and nonrisk-based measure. The exposure measure for the leverage ratio generally follows the accounting measure of exposure. In order to measure the exposure consistently with financial accounts, the following approaches are applied by the Bank: i. On-balance sheet, non-derivative exposures are being netted of specific provisions and valuation adjustments (e.g. surplus/ deficit on Available for Sale (AFS)/ Held-for-Trading (HFT) positions). ii. Physical or financial collateral, guarantee or investment risk mitigation purchased is not allowed to reduce on-balance sheet exposure. iii. Netting of investments and deposits is not allowed. The Bank has calculated the regulatory leverage ratio as per the guideline of BaselIII. The numerator, the capital measure is calculated using the new definition of Common Equity Tier 1 capital applicable from January 01, 2015. Quantitative Disclosures b) Leverage Ratio A minimum Tier 1 leverage ratio of 3% is being prescribed by Bangladesh Bank on both a solo and consolidated basis. The Bank measures and maintains a leverage ratio on a quarterly basis. The status of the leverage ratio at the end of each calendar quarter is submitted to Bangladesh Bank.

  287. 285 FROM THE DESK OF CFO Md . Jafar Sadeq FCA Chief Financial Officer Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim By the grace of Almighty Allah, Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited (SJIBL) has completed another year which was different from any other year. Our operating profit had negative growth but other financial indicators were stable and improving in a different scenario. As on 31 December 2020, our market capitalization was Tk. 22,444 million, with 28,924 shareholders. We had Tk. 293,518 million of total assets, Tk. 196,513 million of General Investment, Tk.218,443 million of deposits and Tk. 17,949 million of shareholder’s equity. Covid-19 impact and management The COVID-19 pandemic has created global crisis of a completely different magnitude and one that requires a response of unprecedented scale. Business activities of majority of the organizations interrupted because of the lockdown, starting from 26 March, 2020. In addition RMG businesses started losing their confirmed orders. With limited operations, banks continued to face reduction in earnings from non-interest/non-profit income sources as well as interest/ profit income for implementation of 9% interest/profit rate cap. The realization of loan/investment has reduced drastically as well as the private sector credit/ investment growth was lower than expected. In order to manage the negative impact of COVID–19 government has announced various stimulus packages of Tk.1,240,530 million, majority of which is facilitated by the commercial banks. Accordingly, SJIBL has actively participated in all the stimulus packages and distributed Tk. 12,867.20 million to different clients under different packages. We have taken every possible step to lessen the adverse impacts of COVID-19. Budget and achievement Budget, the numerical expression of a plan of the Bank, plays an important role to specify the position to be reached by a stipulated time period. So, we have prepared our business budgets for helping us to achieve our ultimate goal. In order to make the budget realistic, participation of both the branches and Head Office management is essential. Accordingly, we have prepared our budget with the participation of both branches and head office. First quarter of 2020 was very much impressive; there were tremendous growth in almost all the indicators. The growth was seriously affected by COVID-19 pandemic as well as profit rate cap by Bangladesh Bank. In this adverse situation we had to revise our target and fixed up a revised Budget. Fortunately, we have achieved almost all the targets set in our revised budget 2020. The important targets and their achievements of 2020 are shown below:  Amount in million Taka Sl. Particulars 1 Deposit Budget 215,650 Actual Achievement 218,443 101% 2 Investment 207,330 196,513 95% 3 Operating profit 3,750 4,095 109% 4 Export 126,200 133,580 106% 5 Import 132,900 148,470 112% Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited

In this regard, Financial Administration Division had made a drive of cost rationalization awareness and initiatives across SJIBL. We had made a noteworthy contribution by reducing Rent, Taxes, Insurance, Electricity etc. by 6.06%, Stationary, Printing, Advertisement, etc. by 30.19% and Other Expenses by 8%. In spite of savings of operating expenses, cost to income ratio increased slightly due to profit rate cap. In the coming days, we will focus more on cost rationalization that will reap up the benefits for the Bank. Financial performance highlights of SJIBL Banking industry passed a challenging year due to COVID 19 pandemic in 2020. Despite intensified challenges, SJIBL managed its portfolio efficiently closing the year 2020 with an NPL of 4.57% that was 4.91% in 2019 which is lower than that of industry average of 7.77%. The prime focus during the year has been improving asset quality, recovering classified investments, mobilization of low cost no cost deposits, process automation, upholding service excellence, and rationalizing costs. A brief review of financial performances is as follows: ●● ●● ●● Net profit income decreased by 21.77% in 2020 compared to last year due to profit rate cap by Bangladesh Bank and negative investment growth for COVID 19 during the year. Profit income decreased by 16.05% and profit expense decreased by 12.92%. Non-profit income decreased by 4.13% mainly due to decrease of commission, exchange and brokerage income by 14.84% and increase of income from investment in shares and securities by 30.61%. A decrease in export and import business due to outbreak of COVID 19 pandemic all over the world resulted a decreased commission, exchange and brokerage income in 2020. On the other hand Bank had huge liquidity due to lower investment appetite in the market due to COVID lead uncertainty. The Bank used its idle money in investment in shares and securities as a result income from investment in shares and securities increased by 30.61%. The operating income decreased by 16.19% and operating expense increased by 1.50% during the year 2020 compared to last year. As a consequence, operating profit of the Bank decreased notably by 30.18% and reached at Tk. 4,095 million in 2020 from Tk.5,865 million in 2019. ANNUAL REPORT 2020 2018 2019 2020 ●● Total provision decreased by 77.10% in 2020 compared to last year due to extension of moratorium period up to 31 December 2020 and restriction imposed by Bangladesh Bank for classification of investment as well as increase of market price of quoted securities. ●● Total tax provision decreased by 20.25% in 2020 compared to last year mainly due to decrease of operating profit by 30.18% in 2020. ●● Finally Bank’s profit after tax (PAT) increased by BDT 189.90 million or 11.05% in 2020 compared to 2019. ●● ROE increased to 11.08% from 10.98% and ROA increased to .68% from .67% due to increase of profit after tax by 11.05%. Cost to income ratio increased slightly due to lower growth of operating income than that of operating expense. The Capital to risk weighted assets ratio (CRAR) decreased to 14.19% in 2020 from 15.58% in 2019. CRAR decreased due to regulatory deduction and repayment of Mudaraba Subordinated Bond. Return of Equity (%) 10.98 11.08 10.47 2018 2019 2020 Appropriation of profit Profit after tax of the Bank stood at Tk. 1,908.20 million during the year out of which Tk.728.68 million was required to transfer to statutory reserve in 2020. Thus, cumulative profit available for distribution stands at BDT 1,187.96 million out of which the Board of Directors recommended 12% dividend (7% cash & 5% stock) for the year 2020. The Bank has been paying attractive dividend to its shareholders from its inception representing attractive market value of its share. Capital adequacy status under Basel III Bank’s Capital to Risk Weighted Assets Ratio (CRAR) remains consistently within the comfort zone against the requirement of 12.5% (Minimum total capital ratio plus capital conservation buffer) and ended at 14.19% as on 31 December 2020. The
  289. 287 Bank issued 1st and 2nd Mudaraba Subordinated Bond of BDT 4 ,000 & 6,000 million respectively. Repayment of 1st Mudaraba Subordinated Bond is going on. However, to keep pace with the business growth and increased CRAR requirement, issuance of Mudaraba Perpetual Bond of Tk.5,000 million is under process, which will increase our Additional Tier-1 capital as well as the 5% stock dividend will also increase our Tier-1 capital further. The bank will also keep focusing on quality of assets consistently in order to reduce the risk weighted assets as well as retention of profit to strengthen its capital base. Non-performing Investments Non-performing investment of banking sector of Bangladesh stood at 7.77% as on 31 December 2020 whereas nonperforming investment of SJIBL was 4.57% at the same period which is significantly lower than the country position. The Bank has strengthened investment discipline and streamlined the recovery process to reduce the NPIs to an acceptable level. NPI of SJIBL came down to 4.57% from 4.91% of previous year. However, we are taking more initiatives to realize and regularize non-performing investments and reducing it further. Regulatory Compliance Our utmost priority is to safeguard the interest of our customers and shareholders. We have continued to work closely with the regulators to ensure compliance in every aspect. Our focus during 2020 was to conduct businesses prudently keeping ourselves within regulatory framework. Accordingly, we complied with all key regulatory ratios of the Bank namely CRR, SLR, ID ratio, CRAR, leverage ratio, MCO, capital market exposure, LCR & NSFR that clearly shows our commitment to key stakeholders. All the reports, returns, statements required to submit different regulatory authorities has been submitted within stipulated time in a complete and correct manner. The bank complied with all regulatory requirements of primary regulator Bangladesh Bank as well as all other regulators during the year 2020.

Responsibilities of Management and those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and Internal Controls Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements of the Group and also separate financial statements of the Bank in accordance with IFRSs as explained in note no. 2.1, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated and separate financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Banking Companies Act, 1991 and the Bangladesh Bank regulations require the management to ensure effective internal audit, internal control and risk management functions of the Group and the Bank. The management is also required to make a self-assessment on the effectiveness of anti-fraud internal controls and report to Bangladesh Bank on instances of fraud and forgeries. In preparing the consolidated and separate financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s and the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group and the Bank or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Group’s and the Bank’s financial reporting process. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated and separate financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated and separate financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated and separate financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s and Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated and separate financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group and the Bank to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated and separate financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated and separate financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion. ANNUAL REPORT 2020
  295. 293 We communicate with those charged with governance regarding , among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated and separate financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements In accordance with the Companies Act, 1994, the Securities and Exchange Rules, 1987, the Banking Companies Act, 1991 and the rules and regulations issued by Bangladesh Bank, we also report that: (i) we have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purpose of our audit and made due verification thereof; (ii) to the extent noted during the course of our audit work performed on the basis stated under the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements section in forming the above opinion on the consolidated financial statements of the Group and the separate financial statements of the Bank and considering the reports of the Management to Bangladesh Bank on anti-fraud internal controls and instances of fraud and forgeries as stated under the Management’s Responsibility for the financial statements and internal control: (a) internal audit, internal control and risk management arrangements of the Group and the Bank as disclosed in the financial statements appeared to be materially adequate; (b) nothing has come to our attention regarding material instances of forgery or irregularity or administrative error and exception or anything detrimental committed by employees of the Bank and its related entity; (iii) financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2020 of subsidiary namely Shahjalal Islami Bank Securities Limited have been audited by K.

Also, provision for sub-standard loans, doubtful loans and bad losses has to be provided at 20%, 50% and 100% respectively except (a) short-term agricultural and micro-credits were 5% for sub-standard and doubtful loans and 100% for bad & loss loans; and (b) cottage micro and small credits were 5% for sub-standard, 20% for doubtful and 100% for bad & loss loans depending on the duration of overdue.

The financial guarantee liability is subsequently measured at the higher of the amount of loss allowance for expected credit losses as per impairment requirement and the amount initially recognised less, income recognised in accordance with the principles of IFRS 15. Financial guarantees are included within other liabilities. Bangladesh Bank: As per BRPD circular no. 15 dated 09 November 2009, financial guarantees such as letter of credit, letter of guarantee will be treated as off-balance sheet item.

Conversely, the Bank has neither any intention nor any legal or regulatory compulsion to halt operations and liquidate its assets in the near term at what may be very low fire-sale prices. Key financial parameters (including liquidity, profitability, asset quality, provision sufficiency, capital adequacy and credit rating) of the Bank continued to demonstrate a healthy trend for a couple of years. The management is not aware of any material uncertainties that may cause to believe that significant doubt upon the Bank’s ability to continue as a going concern. ANNUAL REPORT 2020

  315. 313 2 .7.4 Impairment of Financial Assets An asset is impaired when its carrying value exceeds its recoverable amount as per IAS 36: Impairment of Assets. At each balance sheet date, Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited assesses whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets, i.e., general investments, off-balance sheet items and investments in shares and securities are impaired. A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired and impairment losses are incurred if- There is objective evidence of impairment as a result of a loss event that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset up to the balance sheet date; The loss event had an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or the group of financial assets; and A reliable estimate of the loss amount can be made. In the event of impairment loss, the Bank reviews whether a further allowance for impairment should be provided in the profit and loss statement in addition to the provision made based on Bangladesh Bank guidelines or other regulatory requirements. 2.7.5 Fixed Assets including Premises, Furniture and Fixtures Recognition and Measurement All fixed assets including premises, furniture and fixtures are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation as per IAS 16: Property, Plant and Equipment. Land is measured at cost. The cost is the amount of cash or cash equivalents paid or the fair value of the other consideration given to acquire an asset at the time of its acquisition or construction or, where applicable, the amount attributed to that asset when initially recognised in accordance with the specific requirements of the IAS. The cost of an item of fixed assets including premises, furniture and fixtures is recognised as an asset if- it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the entity; and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The cost of an item of fixed assets including premises, furniture and fixtures comprises: (a)Its purchase price, including import duties and non-refundable purchase taxes, after deducting trade discounts and rebates; (b) Any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management; (c)The initial estimate of the costs of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located, the obligation for which an entity incurs either when the item is acquired or as a consequence of having used the item during a particular period for purpose other than to produce inventories during that period. Subsequent Costs The cost of replacing part of an item of fixed assets is recognised in the carrying amount of the item if it is probable that the future economic benefits embodied within the part will flow to the company and its cost can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. The costs of the day to day servicing of fixed assets are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Depreciation No depreciation is charged on land. Depreciation is charged on straight-line method. Charging depreciation against fixed assets commences from the date of acquisition and ceases at the date when the assets are disposed. Asset category-wise depreciation rates are as follows: Name of the Assets 2019 Method of Dep. Rates of Dep. (%) Method of Dep. 2.50 Straight line 2.25 Reducing balance Furniture & Fixtures other than residence 10 Straight line 10 Reducing balance Furniture & Fixtures - residence 20 Straight line 20 Straight line Office Equipment 20 Straight line 20 Reducing balance Computer & Network Equipment 20 Straight line 20 Straight line Vehicles 20 Straight line 20 Straight line Books 20 Straight line 20 Straight line Building 2020 Rates of Dep. (%) Gain or loss on sale of fixed assets is recognised in profit and loss statement as per provision of IAS 16. Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited
  316. 314 A change in accounting estimates is an adjustment of the carrying amount of an asset or liability , or related expense, resulting from reassessing the expected future benefits and obligations associated with that asset or liability. Upon approval of the Board, Building, Furniture & Fixtures other than residence and Office Equipment has been depreciated under straight line basis instead of reducing balance from 01 January 2020. Construction Work in Progress/Building under Construction Building under construction is recognised and reported under Fixed Assets as per IAS 16 as Construction work in progress until the construction work is completed and the asset is ready for intended use. This asset is stated at cost and depreciation of the asset will be charged from the date of its intended use. Intangible Assets a. Goodwill Goodwill that arises upon the acquisition of subsidiaries is included in intangible assets. Acquisitions of minority interest (non-controlling interest) are accounted as transactions with equity holders in their capacity as equity holders and therefore no goodwill is recognised as a result of such transactions. Subsequently goodwill is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. b. Software Software acquired by the Bank is stated at cost less accumulated amortisation and accumulated impairment losses. c. License Value of license is recognised at cost and since it has an indefinite useful life it is not amortised. The value of the license is not measured at fair value. 2.7.6 IFRS 16: Leases Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited applied IFRS 16: Leases using modified retrospective approach where the Bank measured the lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments and recognised a right-of-use asset at the date of the initial application on a lease by lease basis. According to IFRS 16, a contract is, or contains, a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control is conveyed where the customer has both the right to direct the identified asset’s use and to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from that use. An asset is typically identified by being explicitly specified in a contract, but an asset can also be identified by being implicitly specified at the time it is made available for use by the customer. Upon lease commencement, the Bank recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at the amount of the lease liability plus any initial direct costs incurred by the Bank. Adjustments may also be required for lease incentives, payments at or prior to commencement and restoration obligations or similar. After lease commencement, the Bank measures the right-of-use asset using a cost model. Under the cost model, a right-of-use asset is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. The lease liability is initially measured at present value of the future lease payments discounted using the discount rate implicit in the lease. Subsequently, the lease liability is adjusted for interest and lease payments as well as the impact of lease modifications, amongst others. The Bank has elected to account for short-term leases and leases of low-value assets using the practical expedients. Instead of recognising a right-of-use asset and lease liability, the payments in relation to these are recognised as an expense in profit and loss account on a straight-line basis over the lease term. On the balance sheet, right-of-use assets have been included in fixed assets including premises, furniture and fixtures and lease liabilities have been included in other liabilities. 2.7.7 Impairment of Fixed Assets At each balance sheet date, the Bank assesses whether there is any indication that the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable amount. An asset is carried at more than its recoverable amount if its carrying amount exceeds the amount to be recovered through use or sale of the asset. If this is the case, the asset is described as impaired and an impairment loss is recognised as an expense in the profit and loss account unless the asset is carried at revalued amount in accordance with IAS 16 in which case any impairment loss of a revalued asset should be treated as a revaluation decrease under that accounting standard. No impairment loss was recognised up to the reporting period as there were no such indications existed as at balance sheet date. 2.7.8 Investment Properties a) Investment property is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both and the future economic benefits that are associated with the investment property but not held for sale in the ordinary course of business. b) Investment property is accounted for under cost model in the financial statements. Accordingly, after recognition as an asset, the property is carried at its cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. ANNUAL REPORT 2020

The global economy including Bangladesh has been seriously affected since March 2020 due to the outbreak of COVID-19 that has caused serious disruption in Export and Import business, especially in the month of April and May 2020. As a result, commission income has been reduced significantly during the period. Moreover, investment appetite in business sector has showed negative trend which has been reflected in our portfolio. As a result, investment income has also been reduced in the year 2020. 2.32 General Information i. Figures appearing in these Financial Statements have been rounded off to the nearest Taka. ii. Figures of previous year have been rearranged wherever necessary to conform to current year’s presentation. Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited

  381. 379 Independent Auditor ’s Report To The Shareholders Of Shahjalal Islami Bank Securities Ltd. Report On The Audit Of The Financial Statements Opinion We have audited the financial statements of SHAHJALAL ISLAMI BANK SECURITIES LTD., which comprise the statement of financial position as at December 31, 2020, and statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), the Companies Act, 1994, the Securities and Exchange Rules 1987, BSEC’s Risk Based Capital Adequacy Rules, 2019 and other applicable laws and regulations. Basis for Opinion We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants together with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in Bangladesh, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these ethical requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with IFRSs, the Companies Act 1994, the Securities and Exchange Rules 1987 BSEC’s Risk Based Capital Adequacy Rules, 2019 and other applicable laws and regulations and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so. Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process. Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. As part of an audit in accordance with ISAs, we exercise professional judgement and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also: Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management. Shahjalal Islami Bank Limited
  382. 380 Conclude on the appropriateness of management ’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Company’ financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication. Report on other Legal and Regulatory Requirements In accordance with the Companies Act 1994, the Securities and Exchange Rules 1987 and the BSEC’s Risk Based Capital Adequacy Rules, 2019 we also report the following: a) we have obtained all the information and explanations which to the best of our knowledge and belief were necessary for the purposes of our audit and made due verification thereof; b) in our opinion, proper books of account as required by law have been kept by the Company so far as it appeared from our examination of these books; c) the statements of financial position and statements of profit or loss and other comprehensive income dealt with by the report are in agreement with the books of account and returns; d) Capital to total risk requirement ratio as required by BSEC has been maintained by the company adequately; and e) the expenditure incurred was for the purposes of the Company’s business.

  388. 386 3 .6 IFRS 16: Leases Shahjalal Islami Bank Securities Limited has applied IFRS 16: “Leases” for the first time of 1 January 2020 using modified retrospective approach where the company measured the lease liability at the present value of the remaining lease payments and recognized a right-of-use asset at the date of 1 January 2020 on a lease by lease basis. In according to IFRS 16 Leases, a contract is, or contains, a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration Control is conveyed where the customer has both the right to direct the identified asset’s use and to obtain substantially all the economic benefits from that use. An asset is typically identified by being explicitly specified in a contract, but an asset can also be identified by being implicitly specified at the time it is made available for use by the customer. Upon lease commencement the company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at the amount of the lease liability plus any initial direct costs incurred by the company. Adjustments may also be required for lease incentives, payments at or prior to commencement and restoration obligations or similar. After lease commencement, the company measures the right-of-use asset using a cost model. Under the cost model a right-of-use asset is measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment.
