MAJID VAKILI Manager of Human Resource Affairs 11 Statement of Chairman Message of EDBI’s CEO In the Iranian year 1390 (year ended March 19, 2012), EDBI was able to reach notable achievements, leading the bank to gain 83% of the market share in ¿nancing the top selected exporters. In the reported year, as the Exim Bank of our country, and based on its mission, EDBI tried to mainly focus on providing an all-inclusive support from development of national nonoil exports and facilitating foreign trade of the country followed by providing the grounds for a sustainable growth and development of economy through establishing close relationship with Iranian exporters and studying their problems. I would like to draw your kind attention to have a short look to the status of Iran’s foreign trade in the reported year. The export of nonoil products in the Iranian year 1390 (year ended March 19, 2012) hit an unprecedented record of USD 43.8 billion, showing 29% increase compared to the last year. In this year, the imports of the country also reached USD 61.8 billion, indicating 4.1% decrease compared to the previous year. Please note that the national nonoil products were exported to 160 countries, and goods were imported into Iran from 153 countries of the 12 world, which fact not only shows that Iran has trades with a major part of world’s states, but also indicates that: 1. Despite economic sanctions, Iran has been able to have trade transactions (including exports and imports) with more than 160 countries, thanks to the efforts and endeavors of economic activists in the Year of Economic Jihad. 2. With a 29% growth of nonoil exports, Iran has been able to prove the competitive edge of economic capacities in production at the international level. 3. According to the comparative ¿gures in the Iranian years 1389 (year ended March 20, 2011) and 1390 (year ended March 19, 2012), Iran’s nonoil trade balance shows a remarkable growth. The subject of EDBI’s activity is as follows: Granting facilities in domestic and foreign currencies, carrying out banking operations and ¿nancing out of credit lines and issuing letters of guarantee and carrying out other related banking operations. The bank mainly focuses its operations on exports. Considering the year 1390 (year ended March 19, 2012), which was named the year of Economic Jihad by the Supreme Leader, EDBI, in addition to focusing on its own activities such as ¿nancing a larger part of the exports, has put a great emphasis on cooperation with other establishments connected to exports as well as with export unions and establishments. Among these, we can mention a contract signed between Export Development Bank and National Development Fund in order to allocate USD 2 billion in support of exports. Moreover, in order to support export of water and wastewater equipment and projects, gold, jewelry and precious stones, handicrafts, agricultural products, etc. EDBI has signed separate MoUs with individual unions in each related industry. Achieving new capacities for motivating exporters to enter into international markets is another priority of Export Development Bank of Iran in the Iranian year 1390 (year ended March 19, 2012), and to this end, EDBI has signed a cooperation MoU with OPEC Fund for International Development in order to ¿nance the execution of projects in less developed countries. The ¿gures and reports show that in the Iranian year 1390 (year ended March 19, 2012) EDBI has allocated a major volume of its facilities to the following sections, in order: 13 industry and mine, chemical and petrochemical sector, technical, engineering and agricultural services, and despite the sanctions, EDBI has been able to keep a relative share of the market at a speci¿ed level, in the exchange documentary credits and letters of guarantee sector. In the Iranian year 1390 (year ended March 19, 2012), the international and reliable rating institute Capital Intelligence, having announced the credit rating of EDBI, stressed on the EDBI’s very powerful capital adequacy and the Bank’s use of a clear and strong business model. The rate awarded by CI institute to EDBI is the highest rate in the country. The rating institutes usually do not award a higher rate than the national rate to the banks of the respective country. CI mentioned the strengths of EDBI, saying: “This governmental and specialized bank, that operates in export of nonoil products, has maintained a very powerful capital adequacy, capital input with low-priced governmental resources, high increase of pro¿ts in foreign exchange sector, and a clear and strong business model in the past year.” The exporters and economic authorities have always acknowledged the prominent role of EDBI in granting credit facilities to the exports sector, specially its developmental and humanitarian activities in other countries, carried out by the bank with the least ¿nancing expenses, which fact shows the developmental position of EDBI and its valuable role in the growth of Iran’s exports. In the next year, the Islamic Republic of Iran is planning to take a bigger step towards achieving USD 75 billion of exports, an issue which is unprecedented in Iran’s foreign trade history, because the government’s goal in the Iranian year 1391 (year ended March 19, 2012) is to balance exports and imports. To achieve this goal, EDBI is required to incorporate high ambition in collaboration with Iran’s exporters and other entities operating in the exports sector. At the beginning of its 3rd decade of activity, it is hoped htat EDBI is able to play, more than ever, its prominent role in trading with other countries of the world in collaboration with international ¿nancial establishments.

Highly knowledgeable and experienced employees are the foundation of the Bank’s success. In this regard, the Bank enjoys a system to assess the quality of performance measurement as a basis for determining whether the Bank’s goals and objectives are achieved.

All member staff is provided with on-line, real-time computer systems, which present the required information as well as soft-ware to enable the employees to provide with the best services to the Bank’s customers.

The trade ¿nance transactions comprises export and import ¿nancing. In the meantime, ¿nancing falls within the categories of pre-shipment and post-shipment. With regard to pre-shipment ¿nancing scheme, working capitals are made available to Iranian exporters for purchase of machineries, equipments, raw materials to carry on with production, packaging, transportation and re-exportation in as much as covering manufacturing costs. Likewise, post-shipment ¿nancing has been a service of the Bank to enable exporters/ contractors to sell Iranian goods and services on deferred payment basis. The exporters, at the request of buyer, receiving documentary credits on deferred payment basis have been assisted to have their bills of exchange discounted with the Bank. The buyers of Iranian goods and services have also been bene¿ted from the buyer’s credit agreements which are payable out of the Bank’s own resources, Oil Reserve Fund and other export ¿nancing schemes. The buyer’s credit line can be set up on ad hoc basis for foreign employers of major ¿nancial projects undertaken by Iranian contractors. 42 The Bank is going to expand syndicated ¿nancing both domestically and abroad. The Bank has already paid attention on handling transactions for the ¿nancing of selected projects, in cooperation with domestic and foreign banks. With respect to import ¿nancing the Bank has been providing facilities for manufacturing goods and services to be exported abroad as well as import of raw materials, spare parts and production line machineries. Export Financing under Buyer’s Credit Scheme The Bank wishes to maintain a strong position in the ¿eld of foreign trade ¿nancing and to continue to render to its customers abroad scale of products, from different range of technology under unique mechanism of buyer’s credits. The Iranian exporters are going to export and foreign buyers ask from the Bank to grant the ¿nancing schemes. As an extra commercial advantage, Iranian exporters want to offer foreign buyers a payment deferral on favorable terms as regards the interest rate and terms. In the meantime, Iranian exporters would like to be paid immediately and de¿nitively. The Bank offers buyer’s credit to Iranian exporters and their foreign buyers. The characteristics of this scheme are as follows: - A credit facility granted by the Bank directly to foreign buyers (there is a ¿nancial contract separate from the commercial contract); - At an attractive interest rate and with terms of between 2 and 8 years; - With credit insurance against the risk of termination and non-payment (political and commercial risks) offered by the national Export Credit Agency (ECA); - With the possibility of a ¿xed interest rate for the entire duration of the credit facility (drawdown and repayment period). Advantage of the Scheme for Exporters - Extra commercial argument in dealing with their buyers; - Exporters are paid immediately; - All negotiations with the foreign buyers on the ¿nancial aspects of the transactions are taken care of for exporters by the Bank; - All negotiations with the authorities are conducted by the Bank. 43 General Purpose Line of Credit The Iranian exporters of capital goods and/or related services often stand to gain a competitive advantage if they can offer deferred payment terms to the other parties i.e. the foreign buyers. Contrary to traditional ¿nancing techniques, under the supplier’s credit or buyer’s credit - whether or not these are insured by a national credit insurer, the terms and conditions can be negotiated and ¿xed in advance, in so called general purpose line of credit agreements. Agreements of this type allow new ¿nancing structures to be set up quickly and ef¿ciently under the general purpose line of credit. A general purpose line of credit is set up as a framework agreement between foreign customers or buyers and EDBI for a speci¿c overall amount. In this agreement, the conditions are set out for the ¿nancing of future purchase of capital goods. Speci¿c deals can then be imputed to these agreements, which mean that they will be ¿nanced according to the terms and conditions set out under the general purpose line of credit. Deals can be imputed until the total amount of the general purpose line of credit is reached, the amount can be increased if necessary. Depending on the type of ¿nancing that is opted for, the stipulations generally correspond to those of traditional buyer’s credit of ¿nancing, more speci¿cally as regards repayment periods, interest rates, ¿nancial charges and the procedures to be followed. It is self-evident that, the foreign buyers must have relations with the foreign banks with which the general purpose line of credit are concluded. The amount of the general purpose line of credit is usually limited. 263 Concluded Agreements 138 Utilized Amount The following graphs illustrate the concluded agreements and the utilized amounts under buyer’s credit mechanism by the 19.03.2012 (in USD Million): 0 44 10 100 1000 Import Finance and Refinance Scheme from Foreign Resources As for ¿nancing of imports of the required goods, the Bank, as one of the sources of ¿nancing these imports continue to offer the customers to utilize the foreign credits on the basis of general and individual credit agreement concluded with many prominent banks. The Bank has received enormous ¿nancing and re¿nancing proposals from foreign banks for import of raw materials, intermediary and capital goods (such as machinery and plants), in order to provide the requirements of Iranian Buyers. The aggregate amount of the captioned ¿nancing is USD 84 million indicating the Reduced of 58.42 % as compared to the previous year. In this line, the Bank attaches high importance to enhance the bilateral banking collaboration with Islamic Development Bank (also known as IDB) which is a multinational development ¿nancing institution. IDB as a multinational bank tries to foster the economic development and social progress of member countries and Muslim communities in non-member countries individually as well as jointly in accordance with the principles of Shari’ah or Islamic Jurisprudence. In this regard, the Bank has received a credit line from the International Islamic Trade Finance Corporation (ITFC) established pursuant to the decision taken by the Board of Governors (“BG”) of the Islamic Development Bank (IDB). Meanwhile, the Bank’s investment in ITFC indicates a growth in order to make more opportunities for ¿nancing Iranian projects. 2010-2011 2011-2012 foreign Resources under Finance and Refinance Mechanism in USD Million from 2010 to 2012 0 50 100 150 200 250 45 In the wake of utilizing the foreign resources, the Bank issued 93 USD million documentary credits under ¿nancing and re¿nancing agreements with foreign banks for the year under review.

These institute must therefore adopt appropriate procedures in order to evaluate, measure and report the risks they face with, in order to ensure that they have created their ¿nancial strength and health. The report outlines the evaluations conducted in order to measure and reÀect the major risks, the bank has been facing with. CREDIT RISK Credit risk is the most important risk threatening the banks. A credit risk originates from the customer’s inability or unwillingness to ful¿ll his obligations against the bank. In Export Development Bank of Iran (EDBI), credit risk is measured according to the customer’s risk history, nature of securities and other information concerning the present conditions of the customer. Risk Management Department actively reviews credit risk management procedures as well as its credit standards and corrects them if required, in order ensure that they match the economic variable environment. The statistical models have been developed, using the historical information and the details of credit behavior of customers, forming part of credit risk management process. In this context, “Concentration Risk”, which is considered as a sub-branch of credit risk, is a banking term denoting the risk resulted from uneven distribution of credit among people or concentration in business sections or geographical regions and it may cause losses that might endanger the liquidity of the institute and dramatically reduce the ability to ful¿ll obligations. In order to measure and evaluate the concentration within the portfolio, we apply the concentration of credit rank, the economic sector in which the customer runs its activity (industry) as well as the size of the loan. In addition, the risky rates are a factor to determine the level of allocation of economic capital and credit losses. Calculating the concentration 99 risk can display a clear image of the status of credit portfolio and consequently improve the credit decision-makings and reduce the credit risk of the portfolio, by applying necessary restrictions, based on the type of concentration. A Summary of the Status of Credit Portfolio Risk in Iranian Calendar Year 1390 (Year Ended March 19, 2012) The analyzes presented are based on the information on balance of facilities and liabilities at the end of the Iranian year 1390 (March 19, 2012). To begin, the results of the estimated distribution of the possibility of loss and volume of loss of the credit portfolio are presented in the following table. Volume of Loss from Credit Portfolio Percent Unit: Rls. Billion Average 4,374 50 4,150 75 5,131 95 6,845 97.5 7,476 99 8,256 99.5 8,814 99.75 9,350 99.9 10,031 So the bank’s credit risk is measured to be Rls. 3,883 billion= 8,256-4,373. During the Iranian year 1390 (year ended March 19, 2012) the balance of facilities and liabilities shows an increasing trend. Current facilities and obligations have witnessed a growth of 7.7% and less than 2%, respectively. As regards the composition of natural and legal customers, almost 98% of the balance of facilities and above 99% of the balance of obligations belong to legal customers. In segmental analysis, the highest balance of facilities pertains to the services sector with 41.93% and the lowest balance pertains to “Agricultural and Processing Industries” with almost 6.45 percent. 100 Bank’s Rates In order to provide suitable ground for expansion of its activities throughout the world, EDBI obtained the international rate from Capital Intelligence Institute for the 5th time. The bank’s rates published by CI in December 2011, are as follows: National Rating Long-Term BB- Short-Term B National Outlook Stable Foreign currency rate Long-term BB- Short-Term B Support Factor Rate 3 (highest support factor after rate 4) Outlook Foreign currency Stable Financial strength Stable Factors Supporting the Bank’s Rate - Very high capital adequacy ratio alongside a lower lever, - It is a state-owned bank, which brings about capital support and low ¿nancing cost for the bank. - Maintaining a clear business model as an authorized bank specialized in development of exports, which issue has provided the ground for Export Development Bank of Iran to have an active presence in new markets for non-oil exports, - Improved liquidity status as a result of remarkable increase in customers’ deposits - Increased gross income and net pro¿t Market Risk Market risk is de¿ned as the loss resulted from unexpected impairment of the net value of the ¿nancial institute’s assets as a result of changes in market prices, which can principally occur following the Àuctuations in foreign exchange and interest rates or the stock prices. 101 For EDBI, the major items subject to market risk, are summarized within the foreign exchange open status, leading to an unexpected loss in the form of decline in value of receivables or increase of the value of obligations as a result of foreign exchange Àuctuations in the market. Since various exchange values in open foreign exchange status vary on daily basis, in order to estimate the scope of Àuctuations in its value, in a way that it is only due to changes in rates, the average foreign exchange values available in the transactional portfolio were calculated and applied for one year. So with the assumption of average values of Ɨi for different currencies existing in the transactional portfolio, the quantity of Pj=i Ɨi * eij as the market value of currency transactional portfolio was calculated for all days of the Iranian year 1390 (year ended March 19, 2012) by calculating the currency rates eij (exchange rate of i on the day j). Finally upon extracting a frequency graph (histogram) for the above data, a picture was created to show the range of Àuctuations in foreign currency open status in the year 1390 (year ended March 19, 2012) based on the Rial-equivalence foreign currency rates, which result is demonstrated in the following graph: Source: daily reports of foreign exchange status in the Iranian year 1390 (year ended March 19, 2012) 102 As shown in the above graph, the Àuctuations in the value of foreign exchange open status are accumulated around two limits (Rls. 11,200 billion and Rls. 12,600 billion, respectively), and the reason is due to sudden increase of Rial price of the US dollar at the end of Iranian year 1390 (year ended March 19, 2012) because of change of foreign exchange rate regime by the Central Bank. However, according to the Basel II standard, the market risk index is equal to the endangered value for the said portfolio and equal to the limits ranging from the mean and the ¿rst percentile (1%), which is measured as Rls. 535.4 billion. Operational Risk Operational risk is the possibility of losses incurred by inappropriate and insuf¿cient processes, methods, individuals and internal systems and/or caused by events outside the credit institute. The main elements of operational risk are as follows: Individuals Risk: Potentialities, competencies and motivations of individuals in the organization, Technology Risk: system breakdown, system security, support plans and accident recovery plans, IT related crimes, etc. Legal Risk: documentation for transactions, collaterals, and keeping the customer’s secrets, Reputation Risk: Shareholders’ and customers’ insights about the organization, the observer’s perception method, The bank must take measures to effectively manage those operational risks that are indivisible part of the important products, activities and systems. This management includes evaluation, measurement, reporting and controlling the operational risk. Like the previous year, in the year 1390 (year ended March 19, 2012) the standardized method was used as the base method in estimating the operational risk of Export Development Bank of Iran. In order to use this method to measure the capital reserve required to cover the operational risk, the entity’s annual gross income must be calculated for three consecutive years as hereunder described. In this method, the entity’s activities are divided into 8 work groups and the operational risk of each work line, is determined through the correlative coef¿cient of ȕ multiplied by the gross income of the same line. 103 Work Line Coef¿cient ȕ 1- Corporate ¿nancing 18% 2- Sale and commercial 18% 3- Retail banking 12% 4- Business banking 15% 5- Payment and settlement 18% 6- Agency services 15% 7- Asset management 12% 8- Retail dealership 12% Finally the following formula is used to obtain the total operational risk: ȈȈ(GI . ȕ)ij /3 3 KTSA= 8 i=1 j=1 In which i is the index of three consecutive years from the previous years, j is the index of work lines and GI is the gross income of each work line. Considering the type of activity of EDBI, the localized work lines for EDBI are as follows: 1. Gross income from sales and commercial activities 2. Gross income from retail banking, 3. Gross income from business banking 4. Gross income from payment and settlement 5. Gross income from agency services Table bellows shows the details and results of calculation of annual gross income of Export Development Bank of Iran in the ¿rst 6-month periods of the Iranian years 1388 (year ended March 20, 2010) through 1390 (year ended March 19, 2012). It is worth mentioning that all ¿gures in the table have been extracted from the audited ¿nancial statements of the bank in the referenced years. 104 Fiscal Period Work Lines First 6 months of the year 1390 First 6 months of the year 1389 First 6 months of the year 1388 547,601 306,896 253,419 34,317 21,577 15,282 903,658 670,221 646,044 Gross income from payment and settlement 11,980 8,305 11,605 Gross income from agency services 81,655 120,188 23,405 Bank’s gross income (risk-weighted) 252,640 177,887 149,956 Gross income from sales and commercial activities Gross income from retail banking Gross income from business banking Bank’s total gross income in 3 periods (risk-weighted) 580,482 capital cover for operational risk in standardized method 193,494 All ¿gures are stated in Rls. million. Since the audited ¿nancial statements for the year ended March 19, 2012 were not available at the time of reporting, the operational risk-weighted assets are estimated based on the information derived from ¿nancial statements for the ¿rst 6-month periods of the Iranian years 1388 (year ended March 20, 2010) to 1390 (year ended March 19, 2012). As you can see in the above table, the estimated ¿gure is the capital cover related to the ¿rst six month period of the Iranian year 1390 (year ended March 19, 2012) and the operational risk capital cover for the whole year should be considered two times the said ¿gure, equal to Rls. 4,837,350 million. Capital Adequacy Capital adequacy ratio is an index for measuring the ¿nancial power of a ¿nancial institute and it is somehow the bank’s capacity to absorb liability and create risk-associated assets and it is stated as ratio of the bank’s capital over its weighted assets. According to the guidelines issued by the Basel Committee, this ratio for the banks must be 8% at least. Table below shows the details of calculating the capital adequacy ratio based on the Basel – II Approach: 105 Table: Calculation of the Capital Adequacy Ratio Based on Basel II Approach Credit risk-weighted assets 48,530,070 Market risk-weighted assets 6,692,500 Operational risk-weighted assets 4,837,350 Total risk-weighted assets 60,059,920 Core capital 22,292,938 Capital adequacy ratio 37% Figures in Rls. million This ratio is much higher than the one proposed by the Basel Committee and it shows the bank’s high ability when encountering speci¿c conditions and also its strength against unexpected losses; though it shows that the loans have been mostly ¿nanced out of the bank’s capital. 106 Social & Organizational Responsibilities 107 Social & Organizational Responsibilities Apart from its role in ¿nancing the non-oil exports and other technical and engineering services, the Bank for the year reported strived to ethically conduct its banking operations aligned with societal, stakeholders and other environmental concerns. For that reason, engaging in a fair competition and marketing of the banking services received due attention. As part of its social responsibilities though, the Bank demonstrated ethical considerations when performing in a competitive environment and so devised mechanisms to optimize resource allocation and utilization for the sake of sustainable development. Meanwhile, the Bank in the year reported proved having fully adhered to its documented code of ethics and practice, and deemed itself entirely accountable at all stages of banking operations undertaken either by its branch-network and or any other subsidiary in its entirety. The Bank is aware that as well as contributing to the economic wellbeing of the nation, it should play a pivotal role to be of bene¿t to the environment in which it is operating and thus has adapted itself with the changing environmental demands. Contributing to the charitable organizations, encouraging the staff to partake in the relief programs, raising funds for the humanitarian causes, holding seminars and other training programs that will assist the society having access to low-cost loans especially with respect to the Islamic banking products, partnering with the academic research institutions were also among the programs the Bank has been involved in, for the year reported. A sound social environment is an important factor determining long-term business success. So the Bank takes requisite measures on this regard. For instance it supports the charitable organizations and projects around the world. The Bank also encourages its employees to engage in volunteering in order to bene¿t all the society. The Bank has consistently focused on its impact on social activities as a whole. The Bank strives to act with integrity, responsibility, fairness, transparency and discretion at all times in order to secure the trust of its shareholder, customers and employees, as well as other stakeholders. All the Bank’s employees comply rigorously with its code of conduct, which sets out core values such as integrity, responsibility and respect, as well as a commitment with sustainability. 108 Complying with Rules and Regulations The Bank fully adheres to the principles set out by Central Bank of Islamic Republic of Iran. Iran’s Central Bank periodically reviews the arrangements, strategies, processes and mechanisms implemented by the Bank to comply with the provisions of the law and evaluate the risks to which the Bank is or might be exposed to. This review and evaluation is updated at least on an annual basis. The Bank’s main corporate governance documents include the Articles of Associations, the Organizational Guidelines and Regulations, the Charters of the Board of Directors and of each of its committees. One of the Bank’s key objectives last year was to take concrete steps to help restore trust in the financial sector. The Bank, therefore, engaged in an open and constructive dialogue with regulators to help shape the debate about how our industry should evolve. Internal Audit & Risk Management Internal audit is part of the organizational control of the Bank; it is one of the methods used by the management to ensure the orderly and ef¿cient running of the business as a whole and is part of the overall control environment. The Bank’s internal audit helps management to manage the risks in relation to fraud and error, and exercise proper stewardship. A properly functioning internal audit department is part of good corporate governance, as recognized by international codes on corporate governance. The internal audit function is operated in order to assess the ongoing control as well as all the ¿nancial and non-¿nancial risks that could keep the Bank from achieving planned objectives. Effective internal controls form the foundation for the Bank’s system of risk management. The risk management function plays a central role in the Bank as it creates appropriate transparency providing a sound basis for management to de¿ne a suitable risk pro¿le. Risk Management is instrumental in ensuring a prudent and intelligent approach to risk-taking that appropriately balances risk and return and optimizes the allocation of capital. 109 Community Involvement The Bank believes that a responsible approach to business is a decisive factor determining its long-term performance. To support its strategy, the Bank has consistently focused on key factors: the quality of its people and culture, its customers and the communities in which it operates. The Bank aims to make a positive contribution to the community to which it belongs, in all the markets where it operates. It does so by taking initiatives and by providing ¿nancial supports to external projects that meet its requirements as regards community involvement. Sustainable development programs of the Bank require contribution to the community and any related projects. As a member of community, the Bank sponsors many educational programs, competitions and undertook participating in national exhibitions and banking fairs. Advocating compliance programs and enhancement of business strategies are among other tasks of the Bank to achieve its set cooperate social responsibility goals. These business strategies fully comply with laws that protect sustainability of ¿nancial activities and prevent the illicit banking operations. Activities requiring participation in charitable events for helping the people in disaster stricken areas were undertaken and all members of staff also encouraged for taking part. All these efforts made on the base of the assumption that the Bank has a social responsibility for building a congruent society and creating value for the national economy. In this regard, the Bank will continue its efforts to promote a coordinated international approach to banking supervision. The Environment The Bank has recently focused on its impact on the environment. In addition to several initiatives, for the year under report the Bank established a new environmental performance targets to achieve a reduction in electricity, gas and water usage. In wake of taking several policies, the Bank has competed to be pioneer among the Iranian banks on environmental issues through lowering energy consumption and raising employee awareness of these issues. 110 Social dialogue Holding seminars with the aim of making studies in Islamic banking, international corporate and trade ¿nance in the Bank attracted a wide audience. The end result of these gatherings believed to be highly conducive to making business of banking decisions and arriving at new business models. Code of Ethics The Bank strives to be well recognized as a reputable ¿nancial institution by aligning its ¿nancial performance with its ethical stance. The most important business ethics guidelines are contained in the code of conduct for employees, a uniform set of rules for all Bank’s employees governing their professional conduct towards their employer, customers, colleagues and society as a whole. Speci¿c rules are in place governing conduct in certain areas or activities. The codes include trust, integrity, quality and honestly, and employees are required to demonstrate these behaviors and comply with the codes whenever they are identi¿ed as representatives of the Bank. Stakeholder Engagement The Board and management of the Bank believe that stakeholder engagement help them to understand what the stakeholder expect of the Bank. So, in order to achieve sustainable success, the Bank must continuously earn the trust of its stakeholders and acts as a reliable and professional partner at all times. The main stakeholders of the Bank include customers, government (as the sole shareholder), employees, regulators and media. The speci¿c stakeholder engagement activities for the year under report included a review of how the Bank supports customers facing ¿nancial hardship. The Bank also contributed to public policy-making process through regular engagement with regulators. The Bank’s approach to the stakeholder engagement reÀects its long-term goal to create relationships of integrity and mutual respect with all of its stakeholders. As a result the extent to which the Bank might exceed its obligations to stakeholders has seriously been taken. 111 Customer Satisfaction The Bank has been fully committed to provide exporters and importers with comprehensive advice on possible ¿nancing schemes. The expert advices enable the customers to properly structure their transactions in order to mitigate the risks associated with international trade and business. The customer satisfaction is the Bank’s top priority. In this regard, the customer relationship of¿cers in the branch networks have received extensive training on multiple types of trade ¿nance driven products and can serve the customers on case by case basis. The customers’ help-line is a permanent service of the Bank to respond to the growing demand of customers for having access to the updated information in the ¿eld of trade and banking operations. The Bank’s retail customer satisfaction at 96.6% in providing the on time services was recoded for the year under report. Electing EDBI as the best supporter in non-oil export sector by the related organizations for export promotion reÀects the success of the Bank in implementing policies in line with achieving its goals. Responsibility towards Employees The Bank devised mechanisms for better ¿nancial planning in order to create value for the public at large as well as serving the economic well being of the people. This so far included providing employment opportunities, enhancement of Islamic Banking, offering training and development plans and opportunities for its staff members in conjunction with organizing meetings and other social gatherings for their family members. The Bank’s human resource is responsible for succession management, talent and competence, and for handling personnel issues. The human resource department is in charge of implementing the relevant policy and standards, and it takes additional initiatives adapted to social conditions. The Bank capitalizes on its workforce as an intangible asset and all training and development programs are tied to enhanced motivation within the Bank as well as employability in the career development program that each member of staff might personally pursue. 112 Recruiting- Attracting Junior Talent In this Bank where access to top talent is paramount to success, Human Resources consistently attract, retain and develop exceptional staff. The Bank also strives to create a stimulating working environment with challenging tasks and attractive career opportunities within multicultural teams. The Bank offers a safe workplace that attracts, retains and motivates high performance by stimulating innovation, rewarding excellence and treating people with respect. Highly knowledgeable and experienced employees are the foundation of the Bank’s success. The Bank has established a number of integrated programs aimed at attracting and retaining employees from a wide variety of backgrounds ranging from apprentices and high school graduates to university graduates and experienced professionals. Employee Satisfaction Since employee motivation and satisfaction are the driving force behind much of the success of any corporate, the Bank regularly measures level of satisfaction and involvement by surviving its staff in the interest of building a relationship of honesty, integrity, and trust, among organization employees. The results are communicated effectively and acted upon by the organization. Finally, the organization’s managers need to track progress and communicate implementation successes and failures. The Bank uses the ¿ndings of the surveys to take speci¿c measures. The surveys have revealed that employee satisfaction has improved in recent years. The results help line managers to identify the needs of their employees. At the same time, the results provide management with a representative picture of employee satisfaction. Performance Measurement The performance targets are set for each management and actual performance assessed against these on a regular basis. Reasons for under performance are also ascertained and where appropriate, changes made to the relevant compositions. 113 In this regard, the Bank enjoys a system to assess the quality of performance measurement as a basis for determining whether the Bank’s goals and objectives are achieved. The performance review and reward management tries to achieve equity and fairness. Hence, through continual assessment and by modifying and making its remuneration policy more transparent, the Bank aims to increase its staffs’ development potential and to pay them a fair salary.
