Moreover, they are becoming successful in decreasing the percentage of non-performing loan. So their businesses are found quite profitable.

It is observed that PCBs have shown mentionable growth during the period 2001-10.

The performance of PCBs in respect of the profitability determinants are found quite satisfactory. This indicates the prospect of PCBs in Bangladesh is bright. With a view to face competition in coming days, PCBs require to concentrate more on the profitability determinants.
