CAMELS Rating System in Bangladesh
CAMELS Rating System
During an on-site bank exam, supervisors gather private information, such as details on problem loans,
with which to evaluate a bank's financial condition and to monitor its compliance with laws and
regulatory policies. A key product of such an exam is a supervisory rating of the bank's overall condition,
commonly referred to as a CAMELS rating.
CAMELS is an international bank-rating system with which bank supervisory authorities rate institutions
according to six factors. The six areas examined are represented by the acronym "CAMELS."
The six factors examined are as follows:
C - Capital adequacy
A - Asset condition
M - Management quality
E – Earnings records
L – Liquidity position
S - Sensitivity to Market Risk
Banking Sector of Bangladesh and CAMELS Rating:
A total of 48 scheduled commercial banks including 8 (eight) foreign banks have been operating business
in Bangladesh through 6,383 Branches. Out of total business 56.5% handled by private commercial banks
(PCBs) and rest 43.5% dealt by nationalized commercial banks (NCBs).
The total operations of every bank were assessed according to five fixed criteria. These criteria are
Capital adequacy, Asset condition, Management quality, Earning records and Liquidity position
(CAMEL).
