The 913th meeting of the Executive Committee of Shahjalal Islami Bank PLC was convened on 18 February 2026 at the bank’s corporate head office, where senior leadership undertook a comprehensive review of the institution’s investment portfolio, sectoral credit allocation and medium-term financial planning. The session focused on preserving asset quality and ensuring sustainable growth in light of evolving market conditions and regulatory directives.
The meeting was chaired by Mr Mohammad Sanaullah Shahid, Chairman of the Executive Committee. Under his stewardship, members deliberated extensively on large credit approvals, sector-specific exposure caps and the strategic rebalancing of the investment portfolio. Particular emphasis was placed on aligning new investment approvals with the bank’s Shariah-compliant framework, reinforcing adherence to Islamic banking principles while maintaining competitive financial performance.
Discussions further addressed corporate governance standards, transparency and accountability mechanisms. Committee members underscored the importance of disciplined capital utilisation and rigorous compliance oversight to safeguard depositor interests and institutional stability.
Investment proposals reviewed during the session spanned several key segments, including industrial financing, small and medium-sized enterprise funding, trade-based commercial finance and infrastructure development projects. Participants exchanged views on risk assessment methodologies, asset diversification strategies and measures aimed at maintaining a stable profit trajectory. Consideration was also given to prevailing macroeconomic indicators such as inflationary trends, foreign trade dynamics and policy guidance issued by the central bank. In response to these factors, the committee examined the need to recalibrate sectoral exposure limits to mitigate concentration risk.
Among those present were Vice Chairman Mr Khandaker Sakib Ahmed and Directors Mr Mohiuddin Ahmed, Mr Akkas Uddin Molla, Engineer Mohammad Touhidur Rahman, Mr Fakir Akhtaruzzaman and Mr Abdul Hakim. Managing Director Mr Mosleh Uddin Ahmed presented an operational update, outlining recent performance indicators and detailing the implementation roadmap for decisions adopted during the meeting. A representative from the Board Secretariat also tabled requisite documentation and facilitated formal approval procedures.
The Executive Committee’s mandate includes approving credit proposals beyond delegated management limits, overseeing regulatory compliance and ensuring the effectiveness of the bank’s risk management architecture. During the session, members analysed sectoral credit concentration ratios, non-performing financing levels and key income-expenditure metrics before issuing strategic guidance.
