5 Message from the It is now over four decades since the Bangladesh Institute of Bank Management (BIBM) was set up to impart training to bank officials as its core objective. The blooming years saw the Institute going through many stresses and strains in setting up the basic infrastructure - both physical and academic - to meet the growing demand for training. The need was especially acute in the formative years as no bank had any training institute of its own and, hence, looked up to BIBM for this purpose. It is a matter of some gratification that we at BIBM have arrived at a stage where the Institute may be said to have crossed the "take-off point" (to borrow a phrase from Walt Rostow) and is well on its way to a "self-sustained growth." Till December 2015, BIBM has imparted different types of training to about 78,420 bankers and awarded graduate degrees to 978 MBM and EMBM students. But, we pledge not to rest on our laurels. We will continue to uphold professional excellence and maintain our position as the premier training school for bankers in Bangladesh. In this endeavor, BIBM solicits the support and assistance of all its stakeholders. ()

6 BIBM PROFILE The need for a national level training institute was keenly felt in the early seventies (immediately after the war of liberation) to fulfill the management training requirements of the banking sector of Bangladesh. The birth of Bangladesh Institute of Bank Management (BIBM) was a logical consequence of the necessity of the banking sector. Accordingly, BIBM was established in 1974 with the primary focus of providing training to the officials of banks and financial institutions of Bangladesh in order to strengthen the banking sector by improving knowledge and skills of the human resources. It was registered under the Societies Act, At the beginning, BIBM had to concentrate on training of the entry level officers due to absence of appropriate training infrastructure in the banking industry. However, with the passage of time, it assumed the responsibility of providing training to the mid and senior level officials of the banking sector. Meanwhile, the banking sector of Bangladesh demanded upgradation of capabilities of managerial level officials as the banks expanded their horizon of operations. In line with that, BIBM remodeled its training programs in terms of both contents and methodology. Governance and Finance BIBM Academic Building The highest policy making body of BIBM is the Governing Board, chaired by the Governor of Bangladesh Bank, the central bank of the country. The Governing Board also includes Deputy Governors of Bangladesh Bank, the Managing Directors of the member banks. To assist the Governing Board there is an Executive Committee made up of the representatives selected from the Ordinary Members by turns and a representative from the universities. The Executive Committee is headed by a Deputy Governor of the Bangladesh Bank. The Director General of BIBM is the Member Secretary of the Governing Board as well as the Executive Committee. The Director General is the chief executive of BIBM who oversees the day to day activities of the institution. BIBM activities are financed by the member banks. Every year, BIBM prepares a budget which is subject to approval of the Governing Board. Once the budget is approved by the board, the budgeted fund is contributed by the members. The largest contribution to the budgeted fund comes from Bangladesh Bank. Lash Green Campus of BIBM

It is a program of nine months with two modules: first module is offered online by the Frankfurt school; and the second module is delivered by BIBM in its own campus. The initial response from the banking community is really encouraging. The first two batches (first intake) for the course were enrolled in September 2015 and already completed Module A with the Frankfurt School.
