With the introduction of more branded products and services DIB couldgrab the market from other nationalized and foreign banks. Customers
already trust DIB and with the introduction of such products it would be an
incentive for them to become customers.
Employees should be sent for training and seminars to get advanced
knowledge about banking.
8.4__Threats:
The increased number of nationalized banks becoming privatized and
foreign banks operating in Pakistan is a major threat for DIB.
The aggressive marketing campaigns of foreign and private banks result in
customers shifting their money to these banks.

9.1__ Recommendations for Improvement:
From the quantum of profit and its financial date it can be easily judged that after
privatization, Dubai islamic bank is performing well. Its deposits are rowing day-by-
day and so its profitability. The controlling body is responsible for the productive
performance of the bank following are many observation and suggestion to improve the
efficiency for the development of economy:
1) Pakistanis working abroad through DIB send a big portion of one remittance. As
we know a big portion of this amount is wasted in purchase of luxuries. The
people can be motivated to save money by offering various investment schemes.
The rate of profit should increase 1% or 2% than other banks and it would be
profitable step for bank..
2) Staff turnover particularly of trained staff result in financial and other losses. The
amount spent by bank on employment, induction and training of outgoing officers
constitutes to beat till another officer should ready prove this work. The exodus of
bank officer in the past has worsened the situation.
3) Most of the bank employees are sticking to one seat only with the result that they
become master of one particular job and loose their grip on other banking
operations. In my option all the employees should have regular job experience all
out-look towards banking. The promotion policy should be reviewed.
4) Refresher coursed for the staff is most important in any international organization.
All the employees should have these coursed according to their requirement.
Foreign experts can also be called for this purpose.
5) Every year some of the employees should be sent for training to another countries
and employees form other branches should be brought here. Some more riding
material should be provided. The purpose should be to educate the employees

with the advance studies in their fields. The employees should be provided the
opportunities to attend and participate in seminars and lectures on banking.
6) Banks should give some more incentive to its employees in order to remove the
conflict between lower and higher officers and should try to improve the working
condition of the bank. As such, system should be designed that every employee who
has some problems with his officers can communication it to higher management and
some steps must be taken to improve that.
7) A proper and conducive centrally managed Internship System should be designed,
so that the forthcoming business students could be able to get firsthand practical
touch.
8) For the last many years, the management of DIB is continuously closing its
unprofitable branches and lying of the personnel of these branches. This is
creating a situation of unemployment in the country. This should be stopped and
an incentive for the bank personnel should be introduced.
9) The management of the bank should take care of its shareholders and a stable
policy regarding cash dividend should be adopted.
10) The bank management should formulate such policies as to target home
appliances market for middle class group because it is a larger market available
with the bank to serve. In this regard proper leasing schemes should be
introduced.
11) The process of establishing On-line Banking system should be conducted at a fast
pace, so that a large number of clients could be served.
12) The automation process should be conducted at a fast pace.
13) The bank should take into series attention to conduct foreign business. Otherwise,
foreign banks will capture the foreign market. In this respect the bank should
capitalize its huge branch network.
14) The ATM machines and other instruments of the banks should be user-friendly.

9.2__Conclusion:
It is evident from this report and the financial statements of DIB that it is making
progress by leaps and bounds. The profits of DIB have grown considerably during the
last few years and this trend is expected to continue into the future. Therefore, we
conclude that DIB has a very prosperous present and future, which assures the
shareholders of wealth maximization. Side by side of it I think that if bank would be able
to cover and control on the above mentioned recommendations then it would be in such a
situation that will really lead it towards the road of prosperity, development and integrity.
And with the above mentioned sentences I think there is too fault of the customers and in
order to make the proper working of the bank the customers should also cooperate with
the bank which will be really a good, ambitious and diligent condition for the bank. And
then bank will be really in such a situation and position to compete its competitors in the
country as well as on international level.
