Financial Soundness Indicators for Financial Sector Stability in Bangladesh
Raihan, Selim | September 2015
Abstract
Financial soundness indicators (FSIs) are compiled to monitor the health and soundness of financial institutions
and markets, and of their corporate and household counterparts. With support from the Investment Climate
Facilitation Fund under the Regional Cooperation and Integration Financing Facility, this report describes the
development of FSIs for Bangladesh and analyzes FSIs to identify key challenges to financial sector stability in
the country. A large number of FSIs are not yet available for Bangladesh, notably outside the formal banking
sector including nonbank financial institutions, insurance companies, and microfinance institutions. Another
key challenge for Bangladesh is the improvement of coverage, frequency, timeliness, and quality of FSIs and to
make them more available to a wider audience.
