4.2 Recommendations
Though Islami Bank Bangladesh Ltd. (IBBL) is performing well but it has some
crucial areas to improve which are prescribed below:
1. It is a modern banking era. Each and every commercial bank is properly utilizing
technological innovations. So, IBBL needs to utilize more modern technologies to
keep pace with the changing time.

in the investment sector to attract more female customers.

regarding indirect generation of interest, which means no difference between
conventional banking & IBBL, because people have no proper knowledge about
