Conclusion
Despite all the economic challenges and political crisis faced in previous years EXIM Bank Ltd. stood resolute in its firm commitment to financial growth. The objective of EXIM Bank Ltd. is geared towards the changing needs of its customers. The Bank is on a strong footing to impart tailored services. The focus of the Bank lies on its large clientele base and their expectation from the Bank. It is the aim and intension of EXIM Bank Ltd. to accelerate the trend of growth and development in advanced level, so as to reach a position where the Banks brand will be associated with being the leading provider of quality banking and financial services in the country. Modern Commercial Banking is an exacting business. Commercial banks are great monetary institutions, important to the general welfare of the economy more than any other financial institution. It has a vastly sobering and exacting responsibility. Today is not like yesterday and tomorrow will be different from today. Given the fast changing, dynamic global economy and the increasing pressure of globalization, l consolidation and disintermediation, it is essential that EXIM Bank Limited should make a reasonable change in its inanimate environment to serve its consumers in a more attractive and effective way that are sensitive to these changes. To improve the customer service programs further, EXIM Bank Limited should adopt some of the industry best practices that are not practiced currently.
