The study gave me an overview of the functioning of a bank's treasury. I learnt about the significance of a treasury department, the objective of a treasury department and its function in the new evolving banking sector. I also learnt about the risk management department and the various kinds of risks that a bank faces. I gained insight into the daily functioning of a treasury department.2.
In addition to the above, I learnt the dynamics of debt markets in India. The reason for issue of securities by the government, the trend in the debt markets, the process of issuance of the various SLR securities etc. In addition I got an insight into the operations of the markets- the auctioning process, allotment of securities, the clearing process etc as well. Overall the study project added to my knowledge about the banking sector considerably.The opportunities and insights I got from being a part of the bank's activities and interacting with the personnel were immense.
The recommendations to UBI would be: 1. Integration between the different departments. Because of this the paper work will reduce and it would also avoid multiple entry of same data or operation at different departments. 2. The department was completely dependent on few employees for the some of its integral operations hence absence of such employees affects the treasury operations.BibliographyStock Exchange, Investments and Derivatives- V Raghunathan ; Prabina Raji B Treasury Management- ICFAI
