Letter of Transmittal All Shareholders of Midland Bank Limited Bangladesh Bank Bangladesh Securities and Exchange Commission (BSEC) Registrar of Joint Stock Companies and Firms Dhaka Stock Exchange Limited (DSE) Chittagong Stock Exchange Limited (CSE) Dear Sir/Madam, Annual Report of Midland Bank Limited for the year ended December 31, 2016 We are pleased to enclose a copy of the Bank’s Annual Report 2016, together with the Audited Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2016 for your kind information and record. Thank you. Sincerely, Md. Hasanul Haque Deputy Company Secretary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Approach The annual report contains some forward looking statements in regards to business environment and its likely effect in the financial position of Midland Bank Limited (MDB). Statements which are not historical facts including statement of MDB’s trust, expectation are forward looking statements. Words such as plan, anticipate are forward looking statements. Forward looking statement involves inherent risks and uncertainties. Some factors may actually cause to differ and some may significantly diverge from the forward looking methodology. Some of the factors that may distress the business environment are given below: Higher rate in Corporate Tax on Bank’s profit (40%). High rate of withholding tax and VAT on banking services. Changes in the overall economic condition resulting from natural calamities. Changes in government policy issues. Over burden of SLR as a PD Bank. Impact of high CRR and SLR of the Banks. Withdrawal / Decrease of incentive given to some thrust sectors which may make the projects slow moving. Directives to reduce the lending rates to finance essential items. Upsurge in provisioning requirement may reduce the ROA and ROE. Dropping the margin ratio for investment accounts. Impulsiveness in interest rate. Sluggish capital market arising from rumors. Compliance issues raised by the international forums which are likely to affect the export growth. Rise in international prices of essentials goods which may result to volatility in Foreign Exchange Market. Risk management of lending portfolio often requires sophisticated mathematical tools and cannot solely be dependent on existing MIS. The level of technology in banking industry is yet to acquire that sophistication. 06 Midland Profile: Success and Promises 07 Corporate Information 08 Value Creation for Stakeholders during 2016 09 MDB Performance Dashboard 10 Mission & Vision 11 Corporate Values 12 Strategic Goals 13 Customer Charter/Ethical Preferences 14 Enhancing Cyber Security 15 Milestones 16 MDB Financial Performance and Ratios: 4 Years Overview 18 The Sponsor Shareholders 19 The Board of Directors 31 Committees of the Board of Directors 32 From the Desk of the Chairman 35 Report of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors 37 Report of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors 41 Report of the Risk Management Committee of the Board of Directors 44 Managing Director & CEO’s Review 47 Directors’ Report 61 Report on Economic Impact/ Value Added and Distribution 63 Corporate Governance 77 MDB Photo Gallery 92 Management Committees 98 Performance by Banking Segments 117 Report on Risk Management 137 Disclosure on Risk Based Capital Adequacy (Basel-III) 159 Sustainability Report, Green Banking & Corporate Social Responsibility 169 Financials 2016 (Auditors’ Report to the Shareholders) 170 Statement of Directors on Adequacy of the System of Internal Control 171 Directors Responsibility in relation to Financial Statements 172 Declaration of Managing Director & CEO and Chief Financial Officer to the Board of Directors 235 MDB Products and Services 239 MDB Service Network Midland Prole: Success and Promises Midland Bank came to the financial frontier of Bangladesh in 2013 as a fourth generation bank to serve people from all walks of life.
