Private banks provide better conditions
for interaction with people, mostly due to the reduced bureaucracy. The new
managing director of Eghtesad Novin Bank, Jalal Rasoulof said, "We are seeking
a model to protect interests of stockholders as well as national interests
while providing modern and efficient services through the banking system in
view of requirements of bank customers."
He mentioned improving active services
of the bank; diversification of services, especially with regard to
consumption; providing resources for job creation; as well as implementing
projects which attach more significance to customers, to be his main goals as
managing director of Eghtesad Novin Bank.
Referring to reduction of the profit
rate of bank facilities, Rasoulof stated that private banks have decided to
cut the profit rate of their facilities to realize goals of the Fourth
Economic Development Plan and Eghtesad Novin Bank will soon decide about
cutting down profit rate of its facilities.
Jalal Rasoulof, the successful former
managing director of Bank Keshavarzi (Agriculture Bank), who handed in his
resignation after Mohammad Reza Eskandari came to Ministry of Agricultural
Jihad, and then requested retirement, finally reached an agreement with
stockholders of Eghtesad Novin Bank and became managing director of the first
private bank of Iran.
During his eight-year tenure as managing
director of Bank Keshavarzi, Rasoulof turned the nearly bankrupt bank into a
successful one both at domestic and international levels. Now, everybody is
waiting to see whether Rasoulof can repeat that successful record in Eghtesad
Novin Bank.
