Hi,
I need your help with an important assignment that carries a high weight in my final grade. It is based on a real banking project in Ahli Bank, Oman, and involves applying the Central Bank of Oman’s (CBO) sector segmentation into the bank’s core systems. Your task is to prepare both a research paper and a PowerPoint presentation based on the project’s deliverables, scope, and data I will attach (Excel file).
Context:
Ahli Bank is implementing the CBO’s new directive to segment all clients (corporate and SME) by industry sector. This project involves:
- Mapping customers to the CBO’s official sector definitions.
- Adjusting customer data, risk profiles, and growth targets.
- Updating systems (core banking (Equation for conventional and iMal for Islamic Banking) , credit policy, reporting).
- Creating a sector-based budgeting strategy.
- Validating and finalizing sector growth plans.
The project is fully Oman-market focused, using actual bank client data and CBO segmentation logic. You will use the Excel I provide to extract insights on:
- Growth targets
- Sector exposure
- Risk weightage
- Capital and RWA impact
- Loan concentrations by sector
Structure of the Research Paper:
- Each deliverable should be a separate section with a clear heading, and supported with relevant analysis.
- Executive Summary
- Introduction (Omani market context, CBO requirements)
- Project Scope
- CBO Segment Mapping
- Explain the mapping process. (How will you implement codes for each industry provided and input them in equation and iMal.
- Create and assign industry codes for each CBO sector, which the bank will use in its systems (Islamic vs Conventional).
- Customer Screening & Augmentation
- New Budget Creation
- Validation and Finalization
- Sector Growth Analysis (use Excel data for sector risk, capital, RWA, etc.)
- Strategic Recommendations
- Conclusion
PowerPoint Slides (10–12 slides):
Summarize the above content, with each slide reflecting one of the deliverables or insights. Include:- Executive Summary
- Scope
- Each Deliverable (1 slide each)
- Sector Data Summary (graphs/charts)
- Recommendations
- Conclusion
Attached Files:
- Project scope and deliverables (image)
- Sector growth Excel file (includes data for analysis)
Important Notes:
- This is a real and graded project, so please put full effort.
- Use the Omani banking context and tailor the recommendations to Ahli Bank and CBO regulations.
- The codes you generate for each sector must be consistent with what can be used in banking systems.
- Feel free to add visualizations or tables where needed. Also note down all the deliverables
