Our economy is largely dependent on foreign exchange business specially remittance. Expatriates are remitting huge amount of foreign currencies which hugely contribute to our national income. Moreover export import business has always been an important source of our national income. Since the very inception IBBL has been playing pioneering role in channeling foreign currencies to our economy. Now IBBL happens to be on the driving seat in this arena. In no way we can overlook their contribution in this regard. Islamic banking is relatively a new concept in the world. Before the inception of Islamic banking phenomenon, banks were institutes to be avoided by the millions of Muslims. Keeping aloof themselves from banking, Muslims began to lose their market in the world economy.
As the competition of the Business world became more and more severe, businessmen had no alternative banking premises and many of them were getting involved in the traditional banking. But the traditional banking is based on interest, which is fully prohibited in Islam. To overcome this problem, Muslim scholars, philosophers, economists etc, were thinking to establish a new interest free banking stricture right from the 1940’s. At last they succeeded to formulate an appropriate Islamic banking structure. Islamic banks do not give more importance only on earning profit but also try to ensure social welfare in term of its activities.
This report has shown that the Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited is pioneer in introducing Shari’ah based interest free banking in Bangladesh with a mission to establish welfare oriented banking system and to ensure equity and justice in the field of all economic activities. This report mostly focuses on foreign exchange business of IBBL.

The limitations were-

Different bases of storing data regarding National economic variables create problems in analysis.
Another limitation of this report is Bank’s policy of not disclosing some data and information for obvious reason, which could very much useful.
Since the major source of the data was secret, a lot of important data could not be used in preparing this report.
The employees of the Banks were busy with their scheduled work. As a result I could not manage them to give me enough time.
Lastly, lack of in-depth knowledge, experience and analytical ability for writing such report.
