BANGLADESH BANK Head Office Motijheel, Dhaka-1000 Bangladesh Website: www.bb.org.bd Department of Off-site Supervision 10 Magh 1429 DOS Circular Letter No. 03 Date: ------------------------- 24 January 2023

Managing Director/Chief Executives All Scheduled Banks in Bangladesh. Dear Sir, Introduction of new Input Template for Comprehensive Risk Management Report (CRMR) Please refer to DOS Circular No. 04 dated 08 October 2018 on the captioned subject. As per this circular, banks are required to submit half-yearly CRMR along with other documents to Bangladesh Bank (BB). 2. It is noticed that banks have been submitting their CRMRs in different file formats (e.g., MS Word, MS Excel, pdf, etc.) which make the extraction of required data and analysis of risk management ratings more strenuous and time-consuming at BB’s end. Therefore, with a view to circumvent such complexity and facilitate uniformity in reporting formats, an Excel-based data input template has been developed. 3. Banks are now advised to submit the required data in the excel-based data input template (copy attached) on half-yearly basis (i.e. end of June and December) to DOS of BB (e-mail: rmmcms.dos@bb.org.bd), in addition to the documents listed in the aforementioned circular. 4. Banks are also advised to replace the existing data tables in the CRMR with the data tables provided in this excel-based input template and to carry out their risk analysis accordingly. Besides, banks may also supplement the risk analysis in the CRMR by including any other issues they consider important and relevant to their own risk profile. 5. In this regard, the submission time frame for the required documents will be replaced as follows: Sl. No. Document types Submission deadline 1 Half-yearly excel-based data input template Within 31st July and 31st January respectively 2 CRMR prepared for June & December Within 10th August & 10th February respectively 3 Half-yearly Stress Test report Along with half-yearly CRMR 4 Monthly Risk Management Report (MRMR) Within next month of the reporting period
