Preface to the Fifth Edition

In the light of current economic activities and experiences thereof, the fifth edition of the revised directory on compilation of Banking Statistics Returns is in the process of being published. Information/data on banking sector of the country play an important role in formulating monetary policy and determining the trend of economic activities. In order to meet that end, the SBS forms which were used earlier for collection of all types of information/data from the banking sector in Bangladesh have been revised and enlarged. The Statistics Department of the Bangladesh Bank published Banking Statistics Guidelines 8 (Eight) years ago in the form of a booklet for enabling the scheduled banks to fill in the above forms properly and submitting the same to the Bangladesh Bank. In the current edition of the booklet, detailed explanatory notes of the terms have been given in addition to the revisions of definitions of some terms. Necessary changes and modifications have also been made in some areas pertaining to deposits and advances and on codes relating to advances classified by economic purpose.
