Continue extending the banks network for market accessibility and thereby promoting access to finance. Identify opportunities for lending in the small & medium sized business segment which comparatively provides a higher rate of return and reduce the banks dependency on corporate loans. Strengthen the image of the bank to become a true caring corporate citizen by contributing to the welfare of the society and the nation at large. Take optimum advantage of the newly installed software for improving the quality of services and introduce new products in the market. Develop essential policies and procedures based on the directives of NRB with regard to capital adequacy and compliance to BASEL II accord.

Our business development philosophy translates to each customer interface being an opportunity to add value
usiness environment in Nepal has had to face challenges since the late 90s as a result of political instability and not-so-conducive investment climate. The banking sector in particular has enjoyed relatively better days in comparison to other sectors, but sustaining growth has been a challenge considering the sluggish business scenario and the increasing number of financial institutions. Nevertheless, we in particular have been consistently registering double digit growth in business volume and profitability as a result of the dedication of the entire BOK team. To maintain present growth trends, we intend to increase outreach by investing in infrastructure, technology and most of all, what matters most - people. With the opening of five new branches in the reporting period, we now have 23 branches and 6 extension counters as of July 2008 and plan to open 10 more branches in various parts of the country within this fiscal year and 7 more in the subsequent year. The expansion strategy of
the bank will facilitate trade and payment through any branch in all the development regions and provide unbanked Nepalese access to modern banking products and services. Customers have always been at the centre of all our activities since the very beginning. Our business development philosophy translates to each customer interface being an opportunity to add value. The BOK team believes in long term relationship and we strive to take that extra mile to understand and meet customer needs. Branch Managers and the concerned staff are constantly taking stock of customer feedback on ways to improve our services. Our product portfolio over the years have undergone a change from generic products to specialized products based on demographics and utility. In order to meet the needs of the urban, peri-urban and rural population, we
hope to regionalise some of the products and services while maintaining standard real time banking to all the customers. We believe in change and continuous improvement. Product innovation has played a crucial role in our growth and we have been able to introduce value additions through investment in technology and by partnering with like-minded institutions. Our fast growing customer base in terms of deposits as well as lending in corporate, business and retail segments are a testament to our ability to consistently meet the expectations of our customers. On one side of our balance sheet, we are proud to have customers from different walks of lives who have built their trust on our wide array of deposit facilities. In the past, we only had core banking products like current, saving and fixed deposits. We today offer products to suit the needs of every segment of the society. In the coming days, we have plans to bring about more specific and customized products that would cater to the ever increasing need of the customers. On the other side of the balance sheet, majority of our asset is in the form of Corporate and Business lending, which has attained reasonable growth in volumes as a result of careful evaluation of project risk and return. BOK strongly supports ventures where the country has competitive advantages such as in renewable energy and tourism. In addition, we also believe in Nepalese entrepreneurship as being the engine of growth that is sustainable in the long run. That is why we have given special importance to the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) segment.
Retail lending today is also an important asset portfolio that has influenced the Nepalese living standard and accounts for approximately 20 percent of the total Loans and Advances. Financing needs of our customer is being facilitated through flexible terms on the basis of existing and potential income streams. We aim to constantly improve the product benefits to the customers who wish to avail housing loan, vehicle loan, education loan for both domestic and studies abroad, festivity loan and individual entrepreneurship loan. Establishment of a dedicated department for development financing has been another important milestone. With this initiative, the bank aims to meet the financing needs of the disadvantaged communities by supporting livelihood activities and providing customized banking solutions to the unbanked population. Corporate branding exercise has been a top priority over the past few years. The banks corporate identity and slogan have been well entrenched in our customers mind as a result of consistency in all communication channels. Careful planning at all stages of marketing campaigns have been instrumental in the success of our products and services. In the coming years, the marketing team will remain steadfast in working closely with the marketplace, customers and the communities we serve. Thus, it is our firm belief that we will be able to deliver even better results in years to come.

We have been able to continuously enhance our operating efficiencies by creating a secure, productive and responsive operating platform
ll operating systems re-engineering in BOK revolves around developing sound and efficient processes and procedures with the aim of making life easier for both our internal and external customers. It is our belief that an institution should be driven by systems and procedures and not by any individual. Hence, we have put in place appropriate systems, updated at regular intervals, to suit the changing market conditions which have enabled us to offer superior service delivery mechanism to our customers across branches, without having compromised on the associated risks and regulatory requirements. Over the years, BOK has been re-engineering its back-end processes to achieve enhanced operating efficiencies and put effective tools of checks
and controls internally in place by moving towards paperless environment with the help of sophisticated technologies and systems. Key operating functions are being centralized at the central office with some functions being taken care at the regional level to avoid over dependency and work overload at the central level. Centralization also avoids inconsistencies and helps maintain uniformity of service delivery across branches. Centralized environment can incorporate and implement frequent changes in external/ internal requirement at one go across all branches, as it only requires specialized training to the back-end team at the central or regional offices. This has allowed branches to concentrate on sales and service activities by focussing their energy and resources in maintaining better customer
relations and delivery of superior customer services. With the support of the robust Information Communication Technology (ICT) network and modern banking applications, all branches now work under a single central database allowing the regional and central office to take care of all backend processes. At the same time allowing regular monitoring and control over the operations and compliance to internal and external systems and associated rules and regulations. Central logistics ensures consistency in branch dcor and provides all Logistic/administrative support in maintaining uniform identity of the bank across the board. Human Resource takes care of timely recruitments and all training needs for the new branch employees. The Regional & Central Operations takes care of all back-end operations, enabling the newly opened branch to start operations with full range of services to its customers from day one. As we are rapidly expanding our reach to the semi-urban and rural interiors of the country to provide modern day banking services, to the unbanked population, we are also giving priority to recruit local youths in the
new branches, promoting employment at the local levels. The presence of a local team has also been beneficial to the bank in promoting a sense of ownership and stronghold of the branch in the community. The Bank considers training as an important risk management tool in addition to the risk management mechanism built into the system. We are thus providing regular training on general and task specific functions to employees as a capacity building measure to mitigate potential risks. Sky is the limit for good performers in BOK. On-going reinforcement of its performance based work culture in the recent past has resulted enhancing efficiencies as well as job satisfaction of the employees across the bank to a great extent. In summary, it can be rightly said that we have been able to continuously enhance our operating efficiencies by creating a secure, productive and responsive operating platform geared to deliver the customized needs of the modern day customers and in providing greater values to all our stakeholders.

We are confident that all investments and efforts to develop a robust ICT backbone will make life easier for our valued customers
he banking sector, in Nepal and globally, demands real time service without compromising on risks presented by the dynamics of domestic and global financial markets. Embracing technology and technology enabled operations and services have become the key to business process reengineering and meeting the high standards of services demanded by modern day customers and in achieving our goal communicated through our slogan We make your life easier. As BOK is moving towards becoming a complete Information Communication Technology (ICT) enabled banking service provider, our team has been continuously working to introduce ICT infrastructure backed by appropriate
ICT solutions in all banking operations and services. We are confident that all investments and efforts to develop a robust ICT backbone will make life easier for our valued customers. It is our pleasure to inform you that we have successfully upgraded to the 7th version of FINACLE, banking software developed by Infosys, India considered to be among the best globally. The application is highly efficient and equally reliable as it has been tested in live conditions to handle 2,000 branches and over 5 million customers. With the implementation of the Card Management System and SWITCH, the bank has significantly addressed problems associated with ATM services and now also offers
VISA/SCT Debit Cards through its own infrastructure. Credit Card services and International Debit Cards are also being introduced later this year. Recently, the bank has also enhanced the capability of its Internet Banking (BOK Click) system allowing BOK account holders to perform banking transactions from any location using the internet. In addition to the core banking applications, we are also continuously working in coordination with various departments to implement Management Information System and systems that facilitate decision making in areas of market analysis, risk management, operational efficiency. We are also planning to implement supporting applications such as Share Point, a Microsoft product for improving work flow, approval process and resource management. Developing a robust ICT network has been a priority in the last few years to support the rapidly expanding branch network, centralizing of all banking operations and logistics and anywhere branch banking services. All
branches, even the branch located in Jumla, operates under one secure central database connected by fiber or VSAT. Plan is underway to introduce a dual communication system to ensure uninterrupted 365 days banking services. Our team is in the process of adding voice communications in our network for interbank communications resulting in substantial savings on communication costs. The focus of the IT department has been to introduce system interfaces to raise the standard of our processes, more convenient transactions for the customers, better customer handling and an efficient back-office system for better control of activities. Some of the projects currently undertaken by the department are customization of FINACLE, SMS banking, upgrading to Share Point, introducing Credit Card services and establishing our own POS network. In the coming years, technology will drive improvement in BOKs systems and product offers and our bank is definitely technology ready to deliver appropriate banking solutions making life easier for our customers.

he Central Logistics department takes care of all the non-banking functions of the bank such as purchase of stationery and equipments, lease of branch buildings, design and construction, etc. in line with the annual expenditure plan. Centralizing the function of non-banking activities has helped to maintain corporate identity, increase productivity of the department and branches as they get to focus on core banking functions and maintaining financial discipline. Providing access to modern day banking services to the non-banked section of the community has been a priority in BOK. Identifying appropriate locations for establishing our new branches has thus been an important function of the department. We have thus been the first private sector bank to reach the remotest districts of Nepal such as Jumla.
In the present fiscal year, the department has undertaken a major responsibility to develop a state-of-the-art nine storey corporate building in Kamaladi. The new building has allocated more space for general customer service area, with luxurious priority customer rooms while centralizing presently scattered departments under a single roof. We have been exercising extreme caution to keep expenses within approved limits as a result of which the department was able to make substantial savings on expenses in the previous years. Global recession and increasing market inflation is bound to put even more pressure on the expense side but the department would like to reassure the shareholders and its customers of our commitment to maintain expenses within approved limits.
We are the first private sector bank to reach the remotest districts of Nepal such as Jumla
eveloping a strong capital base is essential not only for meeting central banks capital requirements but also to support the banks business growth and cushion any unforeseen loses beyond the banks control. Over the years, the bank has made adequate arrangements to meet all short and long term capital requirements through proper capital planning, finalized and approved by the Board of Directors, based on Business Expansion Strategy of the bank. The bank has achieved optimum returns on its investments year after year through efficient management of the investment portfolio, constant monitoring of market interest rates, and managing overall liquidity
requirement of the bank. Based on the liquidity and interest rate gap analysis, the bank has developed Asset and Liability Management strategies to ensure optimum liquidity and higher return from portfolio in order to contribute towards higher returns for shareholders. Adequate amount of funds are invested in government securities, as a buffer, to meet any unforeseen liquidity requirements. Foreign exchange transactions are attractive sources of revenue but entails substantial risks. Risks in foreign exchange transactions are managed with the help of Treasury Manual, foreign exchange position limits, appropriate dealing authorities and close monitoring of the foreign exchange market with the help of Financial Information Provider (Thompson Reuters in
The bank has been able to give optimum returns to its shareholders through efficient fund management
our case). Based on the liquidity profile of foreign currency deposits, the bank invests in suitable investment products (placements, bonds, etc) of sound foreign banks. Care is taken to ensure the investments are safe and provide reasonable returns. The bank has attained good growth in both deposits and loans and advances in the reporting period. Proper Asset Liability Management along
with proper Credit Management has resulted in a significant growth in Net Profit. The bank uses a centralized database system bringing all branches, even those as remote as Jumla under the same network on real time basis. The system supports the banks strategy in ensuring that all braches follow the same accounting practices.

he role of internal audit has been redefined over the years and is no longer only limited to fraud detection and compliance. Considered as one of the four pillars of Corporate Governance, our team of auditors serve as the centre of expertise for managing risks by demonstrating command in risk management and business process improvement. Our growing volume of business and geographical coverage demands an even stronger system for compliance to internal and external rules and regulations. At the operational level, we have established various policies, guidelines and authority levels which are regularly monitored for compliance. Regular monitoring helps in ensuring internal control are sound and operating effectively.
It is our concern to ensure, that risk management practices are effective and key risks are being managed at acceptable levels. As a result of our effective risk management practices, BOK has a very effective and efficient operations complying with rules and regulations of the bank and of the regulatory authorities. The task of managing risk is an on-going process and we will develop better systems and monitoring mechanisms though the use of ICT and applications that provide even better security to the shareholders and depositors of our bank.

ending, an important function of a financial institution, is the key source of risk. Be it Corporate, SME or Retail, managing risks surfacing from lending activities takes centre-stage at both policy and operating level activities. The bank is exposed to credit risk at every stage of loans and advances. We closely watch the performance and activities related to loans and work together with the customers and other departments to identify and timely mitigate such risks. As a credit control function, our team of professionals ensure compliance in the documentation from the time of request for loan until its approval.
Besides evaluating individual loan requests, our team is regularly monitoring micro and macro economic indicators and market trends, vis-vis our credit portfolio, to mark a threshold to sectors with inherent risks. In addition to the guidelines of NRB, BOK has also imposed restrictions on certain sectors as a measure to avoid sectoral concentration. Credit Risk Management is a continuous process and we thus remain ever vigilant of micro and macro economic indicators and follow-up on individual accounts at the time of credit administration. Our team grades each individual accounts on four set parameters namely; industry,
business in question, financial performance of the business and account performance (in case of existing relationship) and use our techniques on assessing early warning signal to assist in identifying potential risks in individual accounts and identify appropriate risk mitigation strategy . These two approaches being adopted by BOK have been particularly effective in working with our customers to timely mitigate potential risks. The department remains committed in providing up-to-date information on credit risks arising from changes in the national economy and micro
economic environment as well as analysis of the banks credit portfolio on a regular basis to guide policy level decisions. Our efforts in managing credit risks have been well rewarded as bad loans have been consistently decreasing over the years. In the reporting period, we were able to reduce bad loans from 2.51 percent to 1.85 percent and hope to reduce it even further through more prudent vigilance.

eople provide the competitive advantage required for the success of any organisation. It is through their contribution that the bank has been able to achieve its goal. With the bank expanding rapidly in the recent time, recruitment has become an important activity and due vigilance is being maintained to ensure transparency and fairness in the recruitment and selection process. The bank has been hiring people at the local level from towns where the branches have been opened. Also with the objective of injecting new
managerial cadres, the bank has continued to hire management trainees every year. The bank has recently established a training centre in Balaju (Industrial District), with the aim of regularizing in-house training programs. The bank has been providing in-house training on general banking and customer service for all branches and is in the process of devising specialized training on banking. To make best use of the skills within the organization, priority is being given to in-house trainers, however for expertise unavailable
internally, it also outsources. While many of the training programs are skill specific, equal importance is given to developing people skills such as communication, leadership, interpersonal relations and team building. Maintaining high level of employee satisfaction is critical and to ensure their dedication and a positive feeling of equitable treatment, the bank has a system of evaluating individual performance so as to adopt a systematic approach in appraising and rewarding performance and identifying training needs of the employees. Performance based incentives, salary
increments and opportunities for participating in seminars / workshops and in sporting activities has been regularised. Satisfied employees are the foundation to the institutions bright future and it is our priority to create a professional and friendly working environment. All is not achieved, and BOK as a team is continuously working towards enhancing its care and support to every member of the family and in making their life easier.

ustomers today have access to unparalleled information through various channels, which presents a major challenge for sellers to communicate with customers in the midst of all the clutter. Corporate Communication department at BOK takes up the challenge to communicate its corporate vision, market its products and services to present and potential customers and foster communication within the organization. We have taken up corporate branding a step forward in the last few years to establish BOKs corporate identify and corporate slogan in the mind of
our stakeholders. Marketing collaterals in all forms are consistent with our corporate brand guideline, as a result of which, all our employees, customers and stakeholders associate with our corporate logo, colors and slogan We make your life easier. Our department maintains a close relationship with all points of customer interface to get cues on the customer needs and thereafter provide important inputs to the product development team. In the process, we have always strived our best to provide value added features and benefits
that are in-line with their needs, lifestyle and utility to live up to our corporate slogan. The product portfolio at BOK receives the due attention from the Corporate Communication department with marketing campaigns targeted at particular market segments using the right message, appropriate media channels and supporting communication materials. Our strict adherence to consistency in corporate branding in all product marketing campaigns has not only enhanced our corporate branding activities but also created synergy in our marketing efforts resulting in a higher return on marketing investments. BOK believes that a true corporate citizen needs to think beyond the purview of the organizations functions and benefits. Corporate Social Responsibility is thus a top priority and the department has partnered with various NGOs and communities across the region to support need based social initiatives in health, education and environment with equal participation from the banks employees.
Over the years, the bank has made significant contributions to helping the poor and disadvantaged members of the society through direct intervention programs to add on to the various banking activities. In the last one year, we have closely worked with various NGOs such as Hospital and Rehabilitation Center for Disabled Children (HRDC), Community Based Rehabilitation (CBR)-Biratnagar, Skill Development and Rehabilitation Center for Disables-Nepal, Keta Keti Ashram-Bansbari, Help to Helpless Council-Dharan, Save the Children US in Far Western region, Development and Equity for Women in Empowerment-Nepal,Traffic PoliceGaushala, Naxal Yuva Manch-Nagpokhari to name a few. Our team understands upholding the corporate mission and vision and corporate slogan goes beyond corporate boundaries and will continue to live by the slogan We make your life easier for our customers and the society at large.
