Fair value range BDT 9–25, base 16: the price of 17.3 implies a 14% sustainable ROE against our 13%
We put Shahjalal Islami Bank's (SJIBL) fair value at BDT 9–25 a share, base 16 (probability-weighted 16.2), against 17.3 on 29-Oct-2026. The base is 0.61x the September-2026 book of BDT 25.42 and 4.2x our FY2026F earnings to ordinary shareholders. SJIBL is one of the few listed Islamic banks still run normally: its 2025 accounts carry no Bangladesh Bank-deferred provision, its auditor's opinion is unmodified, and it needs no central-bank liquidity support [s1 p.235, p.259; s2 p.60].
Profit has recovered. Net profit was BDT 3.68bn in 2025 (EPS 3.31) after 1.69bn in 2024 [1 p.79], and 4.46bn in the nine months to September 2026 (EPS 4.01, against 3.52) [3 p.8]. Deposits rose 12.5% in nine months to BDT 352bn [3 p.6] while deposits at all Islamic banks fell 4.9% in the quarter to June 2026 [14]: savers are moving to Islamic banks they trust, and SJIBL is one.
The model has three things to get right. First, the fourth quarter: SJIBL has booked year-end provisions and tax true-ups that left Q4 profit at about zero or below in every year from 2022 to 2025 (BDT 75mn, −51mn, −2.36bn, −235mn) [s1 p.79; s9 p.8; s8 p.8; s3 p.8]. We keep that habit, so FY2026F profit is 4.60bn, only 138mn more than the nine months. Second, the Mudaraba payout: depositors received 73.8% of distributable investment income in 2025 [1 p.42]; each 5pp more costs about BDT 0.37 a share of value. Third, credit quality: special-mention investments jumped to 7.5% of the book [1 p.259]. Our base sustainable ROE (to ordinary shareholders, after the AT1 coupon) is 13.0%, the median of its own FY2021–25 ROE after the AT1 coupon. The price implies 13.8%, above our base.

Bulls say
- Deposits grew 9.9% in Q3 2026 alone [s3 p.6; s4 p.6] as money left weaker Islamic banks; a flight to quality inside the segment keeps growth above the system.
- Investment-income cash receipts were 111% of booked income in 9M 2026 [s3 p.8-9]: the profit is being collected, unlike at stressed Islamic peers.
- Cost-to-income fell from 44.9% in 2021 to 32.3% in 2025 [1 p.80].
Bears say
- Special-mention investments rose from BDT 3.9bn to 22.0bn in 2025 [1 p.259]; if they slip into classification, credit cost stays at 2%+ as in 2024–25.
- Tier-1 is only 9.94% and CET1 8.30% [2 p.67]; growth plus the dividend rule may need new capital.
- Sponsors' holding fell from 45.3% to 43.1% in 2025 and sponsor sales continued in 2026 [s2 p.66; s10].
What would change our view
- FY2026 accounts: the size of the Q4 provision and tax true-up, and the classified and special-mention balances.
- The FY2026 dividend: a stock dividend, an authorised-capital increase or a rights issue to reach Tk2,000 crore.
- Mudaraba rates: whether SJIBL pays up to keep the deposits it won in 2026.
Islamic banks hold 17% of deposits, and five of them were merged with shareholders written to zero
Bangladesh's Islamic banks held BDT 3,793bn of deposits at June 2026, 17.2% of the BDT 22,104bn held by all scheduled banks, and their deposits fell 4.9% from BDT 3,989bn in March [14]. Fixed (term) deposits are 56% of the Islamic total and savings deposits 19% [14]. The segment is split. Five weak Shariah banks (First Security, Global, Social Islami, Union and EXIM) were merged into the state-backed Sammilito Islami Bank, and Bangladesh Bank set their net asset value at zero, so shareholders received nothing, as reported by The Financial Express and The Business Standard [s15; s16]; a writ against the merger was rejected by the High Court, reported by The Business Standard [16].
That is the backdrop for SJIBL, owned by a group of local business sponsors. It has no history of a Bangladesh Bank-dissolved board, its CRAR has stayed between 14.2% and 15.1% for five years and its NPI ratio between 4.4% and 7.9% [1 p.80]. With BDT 320.5bn of deposits at June 2026 [4 p.6] it held about 8.5% of all Islamic-bank deposits on BB's count [14]. In the model the sector shows up in two lines: deposit growth (Q3 2026 +9.9%, against a shrinking segment) and the Mudaraba distribution ratio, which SJIBL may need to raise to keep those deposits if trust returns to other Islamic banks.
Islamic banks work under the same Bank Company Act, capital and dividend rules as conventional banks, but lend through trade and lease contracts rather than loans, cap financing at 92% of deposits (the investment-deposit ratio, IDR) and share profit with Mudaraba depositors instead of paying fixed interest [s1 p.78, p.42]. Compensation charged on overdue investments and interest received from foreign banks are not counted as income; they go to charity through the Shahjalal Islami Bank Foundation [2 p.37].
Bai-Muajjal and HPSM are 73% of a BDT 293bn investment book; garments and textiles take 30%
SJIBL is a trade-finance and corporate bank. At December 2025 its investments (Islamic financing) were BDT 293bn: Bai-Muajjal (deferred-sale trade finance) 38.3%, hire purchase under Shirkatul Melk (HPSM, a lease-to-own partnership) 34.9%, Export Development Fund refinance 10.4%, Mudaraba 5.7%, Bai-Murabaha 4.6% and Bai-Salam 2.5% [1 p.259]. Garments (BDT 49.4bn) and cotton and textiles (39.3bn) are 30% of the book; trading is 37.5bn and food and beverage 20.7bn; 79% is booked in Dhaka division [1 p.175].
Import LCs of BDT 421bn (+13.3%) and export bills of 409bn (+22.5%) in 2025 drive commission and exchange income, and 34 exchange houses brought inward remittances of BDT 38.4bn (+12.4%) [1 p.80]. Remittances matter for the fee line and for deposits: they arrive as low-cost balances and as foreign currency the bank sells. Exchange gains fell to BDT 1.80bn in 2025 from 2.32bn as the taka stabilised, which is why commission, exchange and brokerage fell 6.8% to BDT 3.63bn [s2 p.71; s1 p.42]. In 9M 2026 the line rose 13.2% to BDT 3.03bn [3 p.8]; we forecast +12% for FY2026F and +8% a year after.
The franchise is small in branches (142) and agent outlets (143) and has 1.18mn customers [1 p.80]. Most deposits come from term and scheme savers and from companies: Mudaraba term deposits were BDT 125.5bn and Al-Wadeeah current and other accounts 83.5bn at December 2025, including 50.0bn of sundry (mainly LC-margin) deposits [2 p.61].

Mudaraba deposits are 72% of funding and take 73.8% of distributable income; each 5pp of that ratio moves value about BDT 0.37
Mudaraba depositors are partners, not lenders: the bank invests their money and pays them a share of the income it earns, set first as a provisional rate and finalised at year end. In 2025 SJIBL paid Mudaraba depositors BDT 14.2bn, 73.80% of the distributable investment income from the Mudaraba fund [1 p.42]. Working back, distributable income was about 70.7% of total investment income, and applying that 70.7% share to earlier years gives implied ratios of 75.6%, 74.2%, 70.5% and 75.6% for 2021–24 [1 p.79] and 74.1% for 9M 2026 [3 p.8] (implied, not reported).
Because the payout follows income, we forecast profit paid as the distribution ratio × 70.7% of investment income: 74.5% for Q4 2026 and 74.0% after. Net investment income therefore moves with the investment yield and the book, not with a separate deposit rate. The resulting cost of deposits (4.44% in 2025, 3.19% in 2021) [1 p.80] is well below the system's 6.21% weighted deposit rate [14], which leaves SJIBL room to pay more if it must. In the bear case the ratio rises 5pp in FY2027–28 (to 79%, above the five-year range) as competition for Islamic deposits returns; in the bull case it falls 5pp.
Deposits grew 9.6% in 2025 and 12.5% in 9M 2026, to BDT 352bn [s1 p.79; s3 p.6]. Mudaraba deposits (savings, term and schemes) were 72.4% of the total at September 2026; Al-Wadeeah current and other accounts (the CASA analogue) were BDT 91.2bn [3 p.6]. We forecast 3% growth in Q4 2026 (Q4 2025: +2.8%), then 11% and 10%, taking deposits to BDT 443bn by FY2028F. Investments grow a little slower (3%, 10%, 9%) so the investment-deposit ratio keeps below the 92% cap (81.59% on BB's basis at December 2025) [1 p.78].

Net investment income reaches BDT 15.5bn by FY2028F; Q4 provisions hold FY2026F profit to 4.6bn
Investment income rose 22.9% to BDT 27.3bn in 2025 as the yield on investments rose from 8.7% to 9.7% (bank-reported return on general investment 9.35%) [s1 p.79, p.80]. It has eased since: 9.2% annualised in 9M 2026 and 8.9% in Q3 [3 p.8]. Mark-ups on Bai-Muajjal and Murabaha are fixed at signing and reset only on renewal, so the yield follows market rates slowly. With the system lending rate at 12.13% (12.33% a year earlier) [14] and T-bills at 8.6–8.8% [13], we take 8.8% for Q4 2026, 8.7% in FY2027F and 8.6% in FY2028F.
Income from shares and securities, mostly government Islamic sukuk held at cost, rose to BDT 2.84bn in 2025 and 3.17bn in 9M 2026 [s2 p.71; s3 p.8]. Holdings rose to BDT 65.3bn (18.5% of deposits) by September [3 p.6]; we hold that share and a 7.0–7.3% yield, giving 5.2bn by FY2028F. Staff cost rose 15.9% in 9M 2026 [3 p.8]; we take +14% for FY2026F and +9% after. Zakat (2.58% of reserves, BDT 289mn) is expensed every year [s2 p.16; s1 p.250]. Cost-to-income stays near 32%.
The fourth quarter. In each of the last four years, profit for the full year was at or below the nine-month figure, because Q4 carried most of the year's provisions (BDT 503mn, 969mn, 4.17bn and 3.06bn for 2022–25) and a tax true-up [s1 p.79; s9 p.8; s8 p.8]. We set provisions and tax for the full year: credit cost 1.9% of average investments and a 55% tax rate. That leaves Q4 2026 provisions of BDT 2.92bn and Q4 profit of 138mn, against 1.35bn in Q3 [3 p.8]. The step down is the named driver (year-end provisioning), not a guess: if Q4 instead matched Q3, FY2026F EPS would be about 1.09 higher.

NPI fell to 4.46% after BDT 3.1bn of write-offs, but special-mention investments rose to 7.5% of the book
First check: no deferred shortfall. Bangladesh Bank's inspection letter of 5-Apr-2026 told SJIBL to hold extra general and specific provisions, reverse some 2025 income and fully provide certain placements with banks and NBFIs; the auditor reports that the bank maintained the required provision as per that letter [s1 p.235-236]. Required provision for investments was BDT 12.58bn and maintained 12.60bn (surplus 16mn), including BDT 871.5mn of additional general provision 'as per BB requirement' [1 p.259]. Unlike ISLAMIBANK, there is no provision shortfall to deduct, so we value SJIBL on its reported book adjusted only for net NPI and the subsidiary.
Classified investments fell from BDT 21.2bn (7.88%) to 13.1bn (4.46%) in 2025: BDT 3.08bn was written off and the rest recovered, upgraded or rescheduled; bad/loss is 11.8bn of the total [1 p.259]. Specific provision held is BDT 6.30bn and general 6.29bn plus 1.72bn off-balance sheet; profit suspense grew to BDT 11.1bn [s1 p.80, p.263]. The worry is the special-mention account, up from BDT 3.9bn to 22.0bn (7.49%) under the stricter classification rules of BRPD Circular 15 of November 2024 [s1 p.259, p.235]. In 9M 2026 the bank added BDT 2.74bn of general provision but released specific provision [3 p.18]; it does not disclose the classified balance in the interim.
We set credit cost at 1.9% in FY2026F, then 1.7% and 1.6%, between the 0.5–0.7% of 2022–23 and the 2.05% of 2024–25, and an NPI ratio of 5.0% rising from 4.46% as part of the SMA book migrates. In adjusted book we deduct half of net NPI (BDT 3.39bn). Investment-income cash receipts were 109% of booked income in 2025 and 111% in 9M 2026 [s2 p.17; s3 p.8-9], above the 85% red-flag level, so we apply no income-recognition haircut. Credit cost of 2.5% in FY2027–28 would take fair value to 14.5; NPI of 8–10% with 3% credit cost and full haircut to 11.3.

Paid-up capital of Tk1,113 crore bars cash dividends from FY2026; SJIBL needs 80% more shares
Bangladesh Bank's SPCD circular 06 of 23 May 2026 bars any cash dividend while a bank's paid-up capital is below Tk2,000 crore and caps cash at 50% of the total dividend above it, from the year ending 31 December 2026 [11 p.1]. SJIBL's paid-up capital is Tk1,113 crore and its authorised capital only Tk1,500 crore [s3 p.6; s1 p.79], so it cannot even issue enough bonus shares without first raising authorised capital at an EGM. The gap is Tk887 crore, 80% of today's capital. No such step had been announced by 31-Oct-2026 [10].
Capital actions in the last 24 months [10]: 10% cash for FY2024 (record date 22-May-2025); a board decision on 28-May-2025 to issue a 7-year BDT 6.0bn 4th Mudaraba subordinated bond, subject to approval (not issued by September 2026: Mudaraba bonds still BDT 10.0bn [3 p.6]); 13% cash for FY2025 (record date 30-Apr-2026, paid by 30-Jun-2026); and sponsor transfers and sales (Akkas Uddin Mollah 21.0mn shares in Aug-2025, Anwer Hossain Khan's transfers to LankaBangla Finance and Bangladesh Finance, a director's 1.0mn-share sale in Oct-2026). No rights issue, stock dividend or placement. Outstanding hybrid capital: a BDT 5.0bn Mudaraba perpetual bond (AT1, profit 6–10%, 10% paid for 2025) and a BDT 5.0bn 3rd subordinated bond amortising 20% a year from 2027 [1 p.263].
Our base: stock dividends of 35% for FY2026 and 34% for FY2027, funded from retained earnings (BDT 5.8bn available at end-2026 against a BDT 3.9bn bonus), take paid-up to Tk2,013 crore by mid-2028, with no cash for FY2026–27. For FY2028 we assume 20% of profit in cash and an equal stock part. A bonus moves no value: base value per post-bonus share would be 8.6 after both bonuses. The alternative, a Tk10 rights issue for the whole gap, means about four new shares for every five held; at today's price the theoretical ex-rights price is 14.06, and base value per share after the rights would be 11.8.
Capital is adequate but not rich. CRAR was 14.19% at December 2025, Tier-1 9.94% and CET1 8.30% against minimums of 12.5%, 8.5% and 7.0% with buffers [2 p.67]. Retaining all of 2026–27 profit lifts CRAR to 14.4% in FY2027F and 14.4% in FY2028F. The dividend rule changes how value reaches shareholders, not the value: in our method retained profit earns the bank's return.

A 3-member Shariah committee, sponsors at 43% and a brokerage valued at BDT 1.6bn to the bank
Shariah structure. A Shariah Supervisory Committee chaired by Mufti Shamsuddin Zia, with Mufti Mohammad Mizanur Rahman and Mufti Abdullah Masum, reviews products and income [1 p.20]; its fees were BDT 0.8mn in 2025 [2 p.16]. Income it treats as doubtful (compensation on overdue investments, interest from foreign banks) is kept out of distributable income and given to charity: the compensation-realised account held BDT 2.60bn and compensation realisable and suspense another 1.65bn at December 2025 [s1 p.263; s2 p.37]. The committee's 2025 report is published in Bangla [1 p.232]; it did not disclose a non-compliant-income amount we could read (labelled gap).
Ownership and board. Sponsors and directors held 43.08% at December 2025 (45.30% a year earlier), institutions 24.47%, the public 32.45% and foreigners nil [2 p.66]. Mohammed Younus was elected chairman in February 2026 [10]. The board has 15 sponsor-linked directors and 2 independent directors; directors' related firms had BDT 1.52bn of investments (0.5% of the book) [s1 p.20; s2 p.56]. ECRL affirmed AA+ / ST-1 with a stable outlook in April 2026 [10]. We apply a 3% probability of resolution (value zero), at the low end of the band for Islamic banks, reflecting the 2024–25 Sammilito precedent rather than SJIBL's own figures.
Subsidiary. Shahjalal Islami Bank Securities Ltd (91.8% owned, cost BDT 2.52bn) is a broker with BDT 3.20bn of margin loans; it earned BDT 1.8mn in 2025 after a 15.0mn margin provision (16.8mn before it) [s1 p.286, p.300], under 0.5% of group profit, but its cost is 9.8% of the bank's equity, so we test it on value. Consolidated CET1 deducts a BDT 1.05bn 'shortfall in provisions required against investment' that does not appear in the bank's own capital [s2 p.66-67]; it is the broker's margin-account shortfall (BDT 568mn) plus its own-portfolio unrealised-loss shortfall (484mn), both deferred by BSEC to 2030 [1 p.292]. On its own fundamentals (ROE about 0.1%) the broker is worth at most its book net of that shortfall: 91.8% × (2.79 − 1.05) = BDT 1.60bn, so we write the bank's stake down by 0.92bn in adjusted book. Writing it off entirely would take fair value to 14.3. A sum of the parts does not apply.

We forecast net profit of BDT 4.6bn in FY2026F and 6.0bn in FY2028F, with ordinary ROE near 15%
Each line has its own driver. Investment income = yield × average investments; profit paid = distribution ratio × 70.7% × investment income; securities income = sukuk yield × holdings (a share of deposits); fees, other income, staff and other costs grow from their 2025 base; zakat is 2.6% of the statutory reserve; provisions = credit cost × average investments; tax = an effective rate that tracks the provision charge (46–51% in 2021–23 at 0.5–0.7% credit cost, 57–69% in 2024–25 at 2.05% [1 p.79]). Excess liquidity sits in cash and placements, which we do not credit with income: a conservative choice. FY2026F is the 9M 2026 actual plus a fourth quarter built from the September balance sheet.
The result: net profit of 4.60bn, 5.40bn and 6.05bn in FY2026–28F; after the BDT 500mn AT1 profit, ordinary EPS of 3.68, 4.40 and 4.99 and ROE of 15.2%, 16.0% and 15.4%. FY2027F rises because credit cost and tax ease from 2026 levels and the book grows about 10%. Scenarios move the risk-table drivers symmetrically: deposit and investment growth ∓3pp in Q4 and ∓5pp a year, investment yield ∓0.3/0.6pp, distribution ratio ±2/5pp, fees ∓4pp, credit cost ±0.4–0.7pp, NPI to 8% or 3.5%. Beyond FY2028 the cases fade back to SJIBL's own record: sustainable ROE of 13.0% in the base and 11.0% / 15.0% in the bear / bull, 2pp either side and inside the FY2021–25 post-AT1 range of 5.2–15.0% [1 p.80]. The probability of resolution is 5% / 3% / 2% in the bear / base / bull. The cost of equity is not stacked into the cases, and the NPI haircut moves symmetrically (75 / 50 / 25%). A fully stacked case is shown separately as a stress line.

Fair value range BDT 9–25, base 16: a 13.0% sustainable ROE justifies 0.73x adjusted book
Method. Residual income on adjusted book (80%) and a justified P/E on normalised earnings (20%), multiplied by 1 − p, the probability of resolution (3%). The cost of equity is 15.3%: the 10-year T-bond cut-off of 9.27% [13] plus beta 0.80 × a 7.5% equity risk premium. The measured beta is low (against the DSEX raw 0.55, Blume 0.70, R² 0.22; against the DSES Shariah index raw 0.46, Blume 0.64) [12] because the stock trades thinly, so we apply the F01 G1 rule (bank beta floor 0.80). Residual income charges Ke on adjusted book in every year and applies (P/ABV − 1) to the adjusted 2028 book; profit retained beyond what growth needs (the SPCD cash ban forces it) is treated as excess capital earning Ke, so it neither adds nor destroys value. Adjusted book is December-2025 equity of BDT 25.63bn, less no provision shortfall, less half of net NPI (3.39bn) and the subsidiary write-down (0.92bn): BDT 21.32bn, or 19.16 a share.
Sustainable ROE. We anchor on SJIBL's own record, not on our FY2028F forecast (which gives 15.4%). SJIBL's own ROE on NPAT was 12.4, 9.1, 10.5, 11.0 and 11.1% in 2016–20 [7 p.225] and 13.7, 16.9, 15.9, 7.2 and 15.0% in 2021–25 [1 p.79]; after the AT1 coupon, 2021–25 was 11.6, 15.0, 14.1, 5.2 and 13.0%. Base 13.0% = the median of the five post-AT1 years 2021–25. It is consistent with the 10-year NPAT median of 11.8% plus a margin for the lower cost-to-income of recent years (32% in 2025 against 41–45% in 2021–23 [1 p.80]), which we do not add separately. The forecast years earn more (ROE 16.0% in FY2027F); the anchor assumes they fade. Bear and bull sit 2pp either side (11% / 15%); 15% is SJIBL's best post-AT1 year (2022).
Terminal. Growth is the lower of 7% (6% in the bear) and what SJIBL can fund: ROE_s × (1 − its 40% median cash payout of FY2021–25) = 7.8%, so g = 7.0%. The economic payout is 1 − g/ROE_s = 46.2%; the SPCD rule only decides how much of it is cash. Justified P/ABV = (ROE_s − g)/(Ke − g) = 0.73x. Residual income FY2026–28F adds BDT 0.73bn and the terminal -4.94bn (-28.9% of the value). Rolled to 30-Oct-2026 and less the FY2025 cash dividend paid, residual income gives 16.0 a share. In the bear case ROE_s of 11.0% gives g = min(6%, 11.0% × 60%) = 6% and a justified P/ABV of about 0.54x. Retention of 60% is 1 − SJIBL's median cash payout of 40% in FY2021–25 (40, 37, 43, 66 and 39% of NPAT) [s1 p.79-80].
Justified P/E. Payout × (1+g)/(Ke − g) = 5.97x on normalised ordinary EPS of 2.64 = 15.8; it uses the same ROE, g, payout and adjusted book as the residual-income leg; the legs differ only because residual income also counts FY2026–28F returns above the anchor (16.0 against 15.8 in the base; 9.2 against 10.6 in the bear). We do not use SJIBL's own year-end P/E (4.99x in 2025, 12.07x in 2024 [2 p.89]). The peer P/B leg is dropped: we have not read the Islamic peers' books from their filings on the same basis. Blend: (0.8 × 16.0 + 0.2 × 15.8) × 0.97 = 15.5, 0.61x September-2026 book, 0.81x adjusted book and 4.2x FY2026F ordinary EPS. The price implies a sustainable ROE of 13.8%.

- Deposit flight: if trust returns to Sammilito or other Islamic banks, the 2026 deposit gains could reverse (deposit growth line) or cost a higher distribution ratio (profit paid line).
- Regulation: a new BB inspection could again require extra provisions or income reversal, as in April 2026 (provisions line, adjusted book).
- Capital: a rights issue below fair value to meet the Tk2,000 crore rule would dilute value only if priced below the post-issue value per share (Dividend rule sheet).
- Liquidity: about 0.1–0.3mn shares trade a day, so the price can stay far from fair value.
Signposts
- FY2026 accounts (around April 2027): Q4 provisions, NPI and SMA, and the final Mudaraba rate.
- FY2026 dividend: stock dividend size, authorised-capital EGM, or rights issue.
- Status of the BDT 6.0bn 4th subordinated bond and quarterly deposit growth.

FAQ
- What is Shahjalal Islami Bank's (SHAHJABANK) fair value?
- We estimate BDT 9–25 a share, base 16 and probability-weighted 16, against 17.3 on 29-Oct-2026, from residual income on adjusted book (80%) and a justified P/E (20%), weighted for a 3% resolution probability.
- Does Shahjalal Islami Bank have a Bangladesh Bank-deferred provision shortfall?
- No. At December 2025 required provision for investments was BDT 12.58bn and maintained 12.60bn; the auditor reports the bank maintained the provision required by Bangladesh Bank's letter of 5 April 2026.
- Can SJIBL pay a cash dividend for 2026?
- Not under the current rule: Bangladesh Bank's SPCD circular 06 bars cash dividends while paid-up capital is below Tk2,000 crore. SJIBL's is Tk1,113 crore and its authorised capital Tk1,500 crore, so it needs about 80% more shares and an authorised-capital increase first.
- What is the Mudaraba distribution ratio?
- In 2025 SJIBL paid Mudaraba depositors BDT 14.2bn, 73.8% of the distributable investment income from the Mudaraba fund. Its cost of deposits was 4.44%, against a 6.21% system deposit rate.
- Is the brokerage subsidiary material?
- It earned BDT 1.8mn in 2025 (16.8mn before a margin provision), so not for earnings; its BDT 2.52bn cost is about 10% of the bank's equity. Net of a BDT 1.05bn group provision shortfall we value the bank's stake at about BDT 1.6bn and deduct the difference from book.
