Gajera, At. - Makhiyala, Ta - Dist Junagadh Pin: 362014 Printed by: Vaibhav Printing Press – Makhiyala III Dedication “Supreme sacred respected father and my mother stages” IV PREFACE An efficient banking system is necessary for the overall growth of an economy and in the case of a developing economy it becomes rather much more important. Only an efficient banking system can contribute towards the formation of capital and implementation of monetary policy of a country. Banking system serves as an important channel to accomplish higher economic development by mobilizing the small savings of the people from household sector and diverting them to the productive uses in Industrial sector. Efficient banking system of a country also makes a contribution towards the societal welfare by providing financial services at an economical cost to its citizens (Valverde et al., 2003. Because of the socioeconomic implications of the banking sector the analyses of relative efficiency of banks has gained popularity among people from banking sector, policy makers, researchers and academicians and other interested parties. Other important reasons for continued interest in this area are the financial liberalization and increasing competition in the sector. Financial liberalization was first introduced in developed countries and later on it was taken by developing economies.

DIKSHA YADAV EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In today’s world, speed is the buzzword and to remain on the top is also one of the most difficult things to do. Nowadays, competition is the first thing that comes to the mind of every organization. If you ask the Managing Director or the Chairman of any organization, what is that one thing they are interested in the response would definitely be to remain on the top position and to going victory over competitors in the corporate world. Human resource development is a key to organizational robustness. The combative and competitive capability of an organization, especially a service organization like a bank brings very largely on the collective competence and skills of its people. Rapid advances in technology and knowledge together with breath taking changes in the market place coupled with the raising client expectation, make for rapid obsolescence of old ways of doing things.

A bank links together customers that have capital deficits and customers with capital surpluses. Due to their influential status within the financial system and upon national economies, banks are highly regulated in most countries. Most nations have institutionalised a system known as fractional reserve banking, in which banks hold only a small reserve of the funds deposited and lend out the rest for profit. They are generally subject to minimum capital requirements based on an international set of capital standards, known as the Basel Accords. Banking in its modern sense evolved in the 14th century in the rich cities of Renaissance Italy but in many ways was a continuation of ideas and concepts of credit and lending that had its roots in the ancient world.

This report highlights the great strides made to deliver our Innovation BIS 2025 strategy and how the BIS has responded over the past year to the unprecedented challenges presented by the Covid-19 pandemic. In the year that marked our 90th anniversary, the world experienced a health crisis unlike anything we have seen before in our lifetimes. Central banks have been at the front line of the economic policy response, leveraging the full scope of their tools and expertise. Working together with governments, they have prevented the pandemic’s dramatic financial and economic shock from spiralling into a worst case scenario. Even though the global economy is not out of the woods yet, there are good reasons for optimism, largely because central banks and their determined efforts have laid the foundations for economic recovery. But, even though the global recession has been milder than expected, economic conditions have diverged significantly across sectors and countries. Continued international dialogue and cooperation are crucial in a crisis of this magnitude, underscoring the BIS’s essential role as the global forum for central banks. The BIS has risen to the challenge alongside central banks, adapting and innovating to meet central banks’ evolving needs.
