About BIBM
Bangladesh Institute of Bank Management (BIBM) registered under the Societies Act, 1860 was established in 1974 with an initial primary focus of providing training to the officials of banks and financial institutions of Bangladesh in order to strengthen and update their skill. Since then with more and more banks settings up their own training institutes to handle a significant part of their own objective based training needs, particularly those of their junior level officials, BIBM has also modified its training activities and broadened its operation to cover other areas of activities such as providing education in the form of degree- Masters in Bank Management (MBM) and Evening MBM (EMBM), carrying out research in banking & finance, holding seminars and roundtable discussions or aiding the banks in their recruitment.
Even with these activities, which are somewhat complementary with one another, training still occupies the centre-stage of BIBM operation. But BIBM now imparts training to only mid-level and senior officials of banks and financial institutions and generally in areas where all its members have common interest.
Beside training and education, BIBM’s current activities include undertaking research, organizing seminars and publishing reports on the issues relevant to the banking and financial sector. BIBM publishes a journal and a bulletin on a regular basis. The institute also provides support in recruiting bank officials. Since inception till December 2010 BIBM trained a total of 63,269 officers of banks and financial institutions. Further, 523 MBM graduates passed out from BIBM during the period 1996–2010 and almost all of them have joined the banking profession. Besides, 55 Evening MBM graduates passed out from BIBM since inception in 2006.
