About 47.6% of its population is living bellow the poverty line whoever as about 18% of the population is living below the hard core poverty line (with less then 1800 calories per head per day).

After the devastating flood 1998 and 2001, the economic activities of the country resume by taking various rehabilitation program and bumper production in the agriculture sector helps to recover the blow. Bangladesh economy has faced severe set back again after the terrorist attack on world trade center of USA on 11th September 2001, Afghan war, and Iraq war. This event has changed the world economics scenario and caused global economic recession.

7.1  Problems of United Commercial Bank Ltd.

 In recent Years, The banking business of united commercial bank Ltd is developing at a faster rate. Although the banking business loading day by day there are also some problems around it they are as per observation:

  • There is no efficient management information system.
  • There is lack of improved technology.
  • There is no customer complains desk for this reason it is sometimes occurs as an irritate matter.
  • Application of modern technology such as computerization is not sufficient.
  • There is lack of training program for the UCBL personal.
  • Lack of fair entrepreneur class.
  • Some banking operation are not come to change at all, which very painful for customer.
  • Internal conflict within the employees, which is not good sign for development of UCBL.

7.2 Recommendations:

United Commercial Bank Ltd is an established privatized bank in our country. My some recommendation about it operations are:

I Introduction of such services would be an upgrade of facility to the customer.

I To arrange more employee for reducing the pressure.

I UCBL should be made advertisement on TV so that every initiative of the bank can go at the door of customers.

I Training programme should be taken more seriously.

I It facility are very important to faster the activities.

I Try to remove any conflict within the employees as early as possible.

7.3 Concluding Remarks:

Private commercial banks are paying a vita role in the development of our economy. But Govt. and Bangladesh bank play a crucial role to the private commercial banks through imposition of deposit restriction, lending role or other operations. In recent years of banking business, united commercial bank Limited has shown better performance comparing with other first generation banks.

It was great pleaser for me to do my internship program in esteemed organization like UCBL. I think it provides me a wide range of scope to observe the operation of bank.

Overall, the bank must make appositive attempt to be more outward looking in there goals and aware of what is happening. I hope, in spite of my all limitations, this experience of sharing works with such working environment will help me a lot in professional life.
