T he need for a national level training institute was keenly felt in the early seventies
to cater to the management training needs of the banking sector.
The birth of the Bangladesh Institute of Bank Management (BIBM) was a sine qua non
for the development of human resources of the banking institutions at that time. In the
beginning, BIBM had to concentrate on training of the entry-level officers due to
absence of appropriate training infrastructure in the banking industry. However, with
the passage of time, it assumed the responsibility of imparting training to the mid and
senior level officials of the banking sector.
In the early nineties, the financial sector of Bangladesh underwent a number of reform
measures as part of structural adjustment in the economy. In line with these reforms, the
banking institutions have been adopting new strategies and methods for improving their
services. BIBM is also keeping pace by putting up its best efforts to respond to the need
for capacity-building of bank officials for implementation of the reform measures.
Meanwhile, the banking sector of Bangladesh demanded upgradation of capabilities of
managerial-level officials as the banks expanded their horizon of operations. In line
with that scenario, BIBM regularly updates its training areas, contents and methods.
