process is becoming faster, easier, and the banking area becoming wider. As the demand for

In order to survive in the competitive field of the banking sector, all banking organization are
looking for better service opportunity to provide their fellow clients. As a result, it has become

objectives and missions of my research were to represent Import and Export activities in EXIM
Bank Ltd, Gulshan Branch. EXIM Bank Ltd believes in the vision of to be the best Private
Commercial Bank in Bangladesh. To achieve the desire goal the bank is showing the excellence
at all stages with a climate of continuous improvement. Banks strategic plans and networking

environment.
Banking sector is growing day by day. Besides general banking, foreign exchange operation is
playing vital role in overall banking and economic sector. I have tried to make clear
understanding about foreign exchange operations and findings their loopholes. Here I have face
some problems during working on report. Time limit is not sufficient for preparing an
outstanding report.
This report provides an analysis and evaluation of the current organizational change happened in
Export Import Bank of Bangladesh Limited, Gulshan Branch. The report draws attention to the
fact that in the year of 1999 EXIM Bank Management decided to change its banking process by
changing principle of conventional banking to Shariah based banking principle. Principle of
Shariah would be the EXIM Banks’ new process and conventional interest based banking would
be banned. EXIM Bank bring this change by changing human resources first, change the
structure inside the organization, change the products of the bank, and change overall business
operations. To bring this change EXIM Bank faced resistance that rose inside and outside the
organization. The report also finds the prospects of the company after the successful
transformation of conventional banking to Shariah based banking.
