The objective of Credit Risk Management (CRM) of BDBL and other five commercial bank is to minimize the risk and maximize bank’s risk adjusted rate of return by assuming and maintaining credit exposure within the acceptable parameters.

To understand the performance of present credit risk management process, the year by year ratio of loans which are grouped on basis of classification rules in the total loan and advances has analyzed. From the performance analysis, it is found that the collection of standard loan of BDBL from year 2012 to 2016 is not so good. Among the other five banks, private commercial banks have the higher collection of standard loan. The reason behind the lower standard loan of BDBL can be many like- fallen of national economy, fallen of world economy etc. As the standard loan decreased in these years, the balance of Special Mention Account (SMA), Sub Standard, Doubtful and Bad/Loss loan increased these years.
