The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development was established in 1991 when communism was crumbling in central and eastern Europe and ex-soviet countries needed support to nurture a new private sector in a democratic environment. Today the EBRD uses the tools of investment to help build market economies and democracies in countries from central Europe to central Asia.
The EBRD is the largest single investor in the region and mobilises significant foreign direct investment beyond its own financing. It is owned by 61 countries and two intergovernmental institutions. But despite its public sector shareholders, it invests mainly in private enterprises, usually together with commercial partners.
It provides project financing for banks, industries and businesses, both new ventures and investments in existing companies. It also works with publicly owned companies, to support privatisation, restructuring state-owned firms and improvement of municipal services. The Bank uses its close relationship with governments in the region to promote policies that will bolster the business environment.
The mandate of the EBRD stipulates that it must only work in countries that are committed to democratic principles. Respect for the environment is part of the strong corporate governance attached to all EBRD investments.
Every EBRD investment must
* Help move a country closer to a full market economy: the transition impact
* Take risk that supports private investors and does not crowd them out
* Apply sound banking principles
Through its investments, the EBRD promotes
* Structural and sectoral reforms
* Competition, privatisation and entrepreneurship
* Stronger financial institutions and legal systems
* Infrastructure development needed to support the private sector
* Adoption of strong corporate governance, including environmental sensitivity
Functioning as a catalyst of change, the EBRD
* Promotes co-financing and foreign direct investment
* Mobilises domestic capital
* Provides technical assistance
Our Vision:
To be the acknowledged leader and chosen partner in providing financial solutions through inspired people.
Our Mission:
Combining entrepreneurial spirit with empowered people and leading edge technology to constantly exceed stakeholder expectations
Our Values:
Treasure professional & personal integrity at all times
Demonstrate mutual respect in all our interactions
Passionate in everything we do
Committed to being customer centric
Courage to change, challenge and be different
Demonstrate unity in diversity
In 1888, Hatton Bank commenced business in Sri Lanka's hill country station of Hatton, to serve the flourishing tea industry that produced the country's most famous export.
In 1948, with the independence of Ceylon, Brown & Company Ltd., a leader in the engineering business, bought over the interests of the original investors and fittingly restructured the bank with greater Sri Lankan participation. Thus began the voyage of what was to become a truly national bank that would grow to be recognized as Sri Lanka's Flagship among commercial banks.

Headquartered in Manila, and established in 1966, ADB is owned and financed by its 67 members, of which 48 are from the region and 19 are from other parts of the globe.
ADB’s main partners are governments, the private sector, nongovernment organizations, development agencies, community-based organizations, and foundations.
Under Strategy 2020, a long-term strategic framework adopted in 2008, ADB will follow three complementary strategic agendas: inclusive growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration.
In pursuing its vision, ADB’s main instruments comprise loans, technical assistance, grants, advice, and knowledge.
Although most lending is in the public sector - and to governments - ADB also provides direct assistance to private enterprises of developing countries through equity investments, guarantees, and loans. In addition, its triple-A credit rating helps mobilize funds for development.
Genesis
IndusInd Bank derives its name and inspiration from the Indus Valley civilisation - a culture described by National Geographic as 'one of the greatest of the ancient world' combining a spirit of innovation with sound business and trade practices.
Mr. Srichand P. Hinduja, a leading Non-Resident Indian businessman and head of the Hinduja Group, conceived the vision of IndusInd Bank - the first of the new-generation private banks in India - and through collective contributions from the NRI community towards India's economic and social development, brought our Bank into being.
The Bank, formally inaugurated in April 1994 by Dr. Manmohan Singh, Honourable Prime Minister of India who was then the country’s Finance Minister, started with a capital base of Rs.1,000 million (USD 32 million at the prevailing exchange rate), of which Rs.600 million was raised through private placement from Indian Residents while the balance Rs.400 million (USD 13 million) was contributed by Non-Resident Indians.
A NEW ERA
The merger with the Bank in June 2004 of Ashok Leyland Finance Ltd., among the largest leasing finance and hire purchase companies in India, set in motion a process of consolidation through the combined customer base of the merged entity and its increased geographical penetration. IndusInd Bank has become one of the fastest-growing banks in the Indian banking sector today with its branch network expanding from 61 as on March 31, 2004 to 137 as on March 31, 2006 – reflecting an increase in excess of 125% in 24 months. The Bank has approximately 150 ATMs of its own, and has concluded multilateral arrangements with other banks with a total network of 15,000 ATM outlets. All the outlets of the Bank, including its branches and ATMs, are connected via satellite to its central database that operates on the latest version of IBM’s AS400-720 series hardware and Midas Kapiti (now, Misys) software.
IndusInd Bank’s broad lines of business include Corporate Banking, Retail Banking, Treasury and Foreign Exchange, Investment Banking, Capital Markets, Non-Resident Indian (NRI) / High Networth Individual (HNI) Banking, and (through a subsidiary) Information Technology.
IndusInd Bank provides multi-channel facilities including ATMs, Net Banking, Mobile Banking, Phone Banking, Multi-city Banking and International Debit Cards. It was one of the first banks to become a part of RBI’s Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) system. It has implemented an enterprise-wide risk management system encompassing global best practices in the area of Risk Management, with help from KPMG. This has enabled the Bank to remain in the forefront in complying with the requirements of Basel II. It is the first bank in India to receive ISO 9001:2000 certification for its Corporate Office and its entire network of branches.
With its roots in Indian tradition and emphasis on customer care, IndusInd Bank’s service philosophy is well reflected in the communication tagline “We Care… Dil Se”.

Grameen Bank (GB) has reversed conventional banking practice by removing the need for collateral and created a banking system based on mutual trust, accountability, participation and creativity. GB provides credit to the poorest of the poor in rural Bangladesh, without any collateral. At GB, credit is a cost effective weapon to fight poverty and it serves as a catalyst in the over all development of socio-economic conditions of the poor who have been kept outside the banking orbit on the ground that they are poor and hence not bankable. Professor Muhammad Yunus, the founder of "Grameen Bank" and its Managing Director, reasoned that if financial resources can be made available to the poor people on terms and conditions that are appropriate and reasonable, "these millions of small people with their millions of small pursuits can add up to create the biggest development wonder."
As of August, 2008, it has 7.56 million borrowers, 97 percent of whom are women. With 2,529 branches, GB provides services in 82,994 villages, covering more than 99 percent of the total villages in Bangladesh.
Grameen Bank's positive impact on its poor and formerly poor borrowers has been documented in many independent studies carried out by external agencies including the World Bank, the International Food Research Policy Institute (IFPRI) and the Bangladesh Institute of Development Studies (BIDS).
We are one of Asia's leading financial services groups and one of the largest financial institutions in the combined Singapore-Malaysia market with total assets of S$181 billion. We have an extensive network of over 460 branches and representative offices in 15 countries and territories including Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, China, Hong Kong SAR, Taiwan, Brunei, Myanmar, Japan, Korea, Australia, UK and USA.

Syndicate Bank was established in 1925 in Udupi, the abode of Lord Krishna in coastal Karnataka with a capital of Rs.8000/- by three visionaries - Sri Upendra Ananth Pai, a businessman, Sri Vaman Kudva, an engineer and Dr.T M A Pai, a physician - who shared a strong commitment to social welfare. Their objective was primarily to extend financial assistance to the local weavers who were crippled by a crisis in the handloom industry through mobilising small savings from the community. The bank collected as low as 2 annas daily at the doorsteps of the depositors through its Agents under its Pigmy Deposit Scheme started in 1928. This scheme is the Bank's brand equity today and the Bank collects around Rs. 2 crore per day under the scheme.
The progress of Syndicate Bank has been synonymous with the phase of progressive banking in India. Spanning over 80 years of pioneering expertise, the Bank has created for itself a solid customer base comprising customers of two or three generations. Being firmly rooted in rural India and understanding the grassroot realities, the Bank's perception had vision of future India. It has been propagating innovations in Banking and also has been receptive to new ideas, without however getting uprooted from its distinctive socio-economic and cultural ethos. Its philosophy of growth by mutual sustenance of both the Bank and the people has paid rich dividends. The Bank has been operating as a catalyst of development across the country with particular reference to the common man at the individual level and in rural/semi urban centres at the area level.
The Bank is well equipped to meet the challenges of the 21st century in the areas of information technology, knowledge and competition. A comprehensive IT plan is being put in place and the skills and knowledge of the Bank's personnel are being upgraded through a variety of training programmes to promote customer delight in every sphere of its activity.

There are few leaders of the pre-independence era who, after having plunged themselves into the political struggle, continued to take an active interest in social, cultural and educational work. Lala Lajpat Rai was one of such leader. Born on 28th January, 1865 at a small village, Dhudike in the Ferozpur district of Punjab, he belonged to the Agarwal Baniya caste and it was perhaps because of this, in addition to taking part in social and political life of the country, he took keen interest in industrial and financial matter also. His father was a teacher of Persian and Urdu in a government school.
(1865-1928)
Having passed the final examination in Law from Punjab University, he started his practice in1883, when he was barely 18 years old. Endowed with a rich legacy of moral and intellectual background, Lala Lajpat Rai had benefit of education in his the practical rationalism of western science combined with the religious purity and moral elevation of Eastern literature put on him the hallmark of true culture. While sympathizing with and aiding every movement made for progress, Lala Lajpat Rai identified himself very closely with Arya Samaj, in which he found ample scope for the exercise of his patriotism, philanthropy and religious zeal.
Having qualified as a pleader, Lala Lajpat Rai started practice at Hissar and soon became a leading lawyer of the district. He organized the Arya Samaj there and put it on proper lines. In 1892, he transferred his practice to the wider field at Lahore.
Education, both secular and religious, was in Lala Lajpat Rai’s view an important factor in national development. HE took part in the foundation of the D.A.V. College at Lahore.
Lalaji and Politics
Lala Lajpat Rai always felt drawn towards politics. It was in 1888 that he joined the Indian National Congress when it met at Allahabad under the presidency of Mr. G. Yule.
In 1905, the Indian National Congress Committee having recognized in him an austere, sincere and selfless devoted worker selected him as one of its delegates to place before the British public the political grievances of the Indian people. He met the expenses of his trip from his own pocket. He along with Gokhale carried on the political campaign in various parts of England and brought home to the mind of the British, the evils of an unsympathetic and bureaucratic government under which India was labouring and pleaded in eloquent language, adding facts and figures in supporting their contention, cause of the half starving and half dying people of India. Lala Lajpat Rai created an impression on the public of England.
After his return from England, he was busy devising and organizing ways and means for political advancement and industrial emancipation of the country.
The movement of “Swadeshi” was in the offing and he put his heart and soul into it. He preached the message of swadeshi to the people of Punjab and made it very popular. This naturally enraged the bureaucracy and he came to be regarded as a revolutionary by the Bitishers and the Anglo-Indian press. He was openly dubbed as a Revolutionary and an instigator of the armed forces.
The Jalianwala Bagh tragedy and the Government's denial to censure the conduct of its officers made him a complete non cooperator. He lost his faith in the British and threw himself whole heartedly into the non-cooperation movement.
In 1925, he joined the Swaraj Party and became its deputy leader. He took active part in the deliberations of the debates of the Assembly. It was he, who moved the resolution for the Boycott of the Simon Commission in the Assembly. It was while leading the boycott procession at Lahore on the 30th October, 1928 that he received lathi blows on his chest which ultimately brought about his death on the 17th November, 1928.
Lala Lajpat Rai and PNB
Lalaji was keenly concerned with the fact that though Indian capital was being used to run English Banks and companies, the profits went entirely to the British, while Indians had to contend themselves with a small interest on their capital. He echoed this sentiment in one of his writing while concurring with Rai Mul Raj of Arya Samaj who had long cherished the idea that Indians should have a National Bank of their own. At the instance of Rai Mul Raj, Lala Lajpat Rai sent a circular to selected friends insisting on an Indian joint stock Bank as the first step in constructive Swadeshi and the response was satisfactory.
After filing and registering the memorandum and Articles of Association on 19 May, 1894, the bank was incorporated under Act VI of the 1882 Indian Companies Act. The prospectus of the bank was published in the Tribune, and the Urdu Akhbar-e-Am and Paisa Akhbar. On 23rd May, 1894, the founders met at the Lahore residence of Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, the first Chairman of PNB, and resolved to go ahead with the scheme. They decided to hire a house in the famous Anarkali Bazar of Lahore opposite the post office and near well known stores of Rama Brothers.
On 12th April 1895, the bank opened for business, a day before the great Punjabi festival of Baishakhi. The essence of the Bank’s culture was clear at this first meeting itself. The fourteen original shareholders and seven directors took only a modest number of shares; the control of the bank was to lie with the large, dispersed shareholding, a purely professional approach that was as uncommon then as it is today.
Bank Negara Malaysia is the central bank for Malaysia. It was established on 26 January 1959, under the Central Bank of Malaya Ordinance, 1958, with the following objectives:
1. To issue currency and keep reserves safeguarding the value of the currency;
2. To act as a banker and financial adviser to the Government;
3. To promote monetary stability and a sound financial structure;
4. To promote the reliable, efficient and smooth operation of national payment and settlement systems and to ensure that the national payment and settlement systems policy is directed to the advantage of Malaysia; and
5. To influence the credit situation to the advantage of the country.
In meeting these objectives, the Bank is guided by the principle that it should act only in the economic interest of the nation and without regard to profit as a primary consideration.
First HQ Hence, the functions of the Bank are carried out within the context of the broader goals of promoting economic growth, a high level of employment, maintaining price stability and a reasonable balance in the country's international payments position, eradicating poverty and restructuring society.
In particular, the Bank ensures that the availability and cost of money and credit in the economy are consonant with national macroeconomic objectives. In this respect, the Bank acts as the banker for currency issue, keeper of international reserves and safeguarding the value of the ringgit, banker and financial adviser to the Government, agency responsible for monetary policy and management of the financial system and banker to the banks.
