INTRODUCTION

Chapter one is about the introduction of the report. As a part of requirement of MBA degree six week internship is necessary for the student. This includes background, purpose, scope, objectives, and methodology of the study. It also includes introduction of the organization. BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY: Internship training programme during Master in Business Administration Programme is necessary for the partial fulfillment of completion of Degree of Master in Business Administration. It is necessary for me to complete an internship session of about 6 weeks in some manufacturing or services industry relevant to my area of interest and specialization. So I choose banking field because I have the interest in this sector because of my background is related with this sector. PURPOSE: Internship is the capstone experience that provides me with hands-on, real-world experience in a work setting. Ideally, internship will enable interns to: (1) (2) (3) (4) Integrate and use my knowledge and skills from the classroom. Discover where further competence is needed. Take steps to gain that competence under educational supervision. Better acquainted with types of work settings in which such competence can be applied.

SCOPE: This study will facilitate me regarding the working of banking sector of Pakistan because most of the teachers during their lectures use the examples of Banks like MCB, National Bank, UBL, Bank Alfalah and many others. LIMITATION: This study is done with the sole purpose for doing the best work but there were certain limitation faced during the internship period. The most important limitation from which the study suffers is the nonavaliability of information in a manner required for analysis and the secrecy of the bank. Another important limitation of the study is time and space constraint.

OBJECTIVES: I worked as an internee in MCB PIA Society Branch, Wapda Town Lahore. The main objectives to the study in MCB were: (1) (2) (3) (4) To get some experience in working with well reputed organization. To get knowledge about the professional environment of the bank. To know about the technology utilize in the bank. To deal and manage with the situation of stress.

METHODOLOGY: There are mainly two methods that are used for the collection of data. Primary data: (1) Observation of functions of branch operations on the spot. (2) Observation of different processes of branch on the spot. Secondary data: (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) Internet is very helpful for me to study more about banking sector of Pakistan. Different types of booklets of the bank. Annuals reports Journals Newspapers

ORGANIZATION: MCB is one of the leading banks of Pakistan with a deposit base of Rs. 368 Billion and total assets over Rs.500 Billion. Incorporated in 1947, MCB soon earned the reputation of a solid and conservative financial institution managed by expatriate executives. In 1974, MCB was nationalized along with all other private sector banks. The Bank has a customer base of approximately 4 million, a nationwide distribution network of over 1,000 branches and over 450 ATMs in the market. During the last fifteen years, the Bank has concentrated on growth through improving service quality, investment in technology and people, utilizing its extensive branch network, developing a large and stable deposit base.

SUMMARY: This chapter contains the detail introduction of the report. For achieving my purposes, objectives and for the preparation of the internship report I required some kind of data, I used both methods of data collection that are primary sources and secondary sources for this purpose.

CHAPTER # 2

PROFILE OF THE BANKING SECTOR

This chapter includes what the current situation of the banking sector in the Pakistan. MCB in the banking sector of Pakistan and play a role in the economic and social development of Pakistan and all the functions that the organization is performing. OVERALL RESPECTIVE SECTORS IN PAKISTAN: Banking is one of the most sensitive businesses all over the world. Banks play very important role in the economy of the country. Banks are the custodian to the assets of general masses. The banking sector plays a significant role in a contemporary world of money and economy. It influences and facilitates many different but integrated economic activities like resources mobilization and poverty elimination, production and distribution of public finance. HISTORY OF BANKING IN PAKISTAN: Before independence, the financial sector was in the hands of foreign banks some of them were British by origin. The oldest bank operating from 1883 in this part of the world was the Chartered Bank while another bank namely the Grind lays Bank which was also working simultaneously from 1883. In order to expand its business operations, the Grindlays acquired other small banks and merged them into the business of Grindlays. Among the contemporaries, Imperial bank of India was the largest Indian Bank which had started its operations in 1919 which was discharging the role of a commercial banks as well as the Central Bank for India until an independent Central Bank i.e. Reserve Bank of India was established in 1935. However, since the Imperial Bank had the largest network of its branches all over India, it continued to play its role as a subsidiary of the Reserve Bank of India. In the Muslim majority areas which were later on became the part of Pakistan, small branches of Indian banks were operating and soon after creation of Pakistan they shifted their branches and headquarters to India. At the time of independence, two major banks including Punjab National Bank at Lahore and Comila Banking Corporation were working in the then East Pakistan. This trend was so obvious that the total number of bank offices between June 30, 1918 and August 14, 1947 were reduced from 631 to 195 only. During the early part of 1949 the numbers of branches of Imperial Bank of India in Pakistani areas were more than of Habib Bank. In the early days of Pakistan, the government worked hard left no stone unturned to establish and strengthen the banking system in Pakistan. These efforts resulted in the establishment of State Bank of Pakistan which was inaugurated by Quaid-e-Azam on July 1, 1948. Quaid-e-Azam flawed from Quetta to Karachi specially to grace the occasion.
11

Originally the State Bank was scheduled to be established in September 1948. Zahid Hussain, who was the first Governor of the State Bank, devoted all his time and energy to streamline the working of the State Bank. In normal situation, the Central Bank of a country is only established when the commercial banking start working on sound footings. But the circumstances forced the government to establish Central Bank and the task of stabilizing the commercial banking was also assigned to the State Bank, which it really did. At the time of independence, commercial banking facilities were provided fairly here. There were 487 offices of schedule banks in the territories now constituting Pakistan. An export committee recommended that reserve bank of India should continue their function until 30th September 1948. Prior to partition in 1947, banking in Pakistan was dominated by branches of British banks. The State Bank of Pakistan, the central bank, was formed after partition in 1948. By 30 June 1948 the number of offices of the scheduled banks declined from 487 to 195. In order to make the necessary arrangement for the assumption of control and expert committee was appointed to recommend the necessary steps including the required legislation to establish a central bank of Pakistan. The governor general of Pakistan Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad ali Jinnah inaugurated the state bank of Pakistan order was promulgated on may 12, 1948. The first Pakistani note were issued in October 1948 in the state bank of Pakistan withdrew the reserve bank of India notes of the value of Rs. 125.02 crores with the help Pakistani notes. On 1st January 1947 all Pakistani banks were nationalized through nationalization act 1947. Under this law all Pakistani banks become a public property. All small banks merged in bigger banks to create the five major Pakistani banks. These banks were to control by Pakistani banking council. There are still controversies about this act of Government as whether it contributed in success of failure of the banks. However the major changes after nationalization were as follows. Working of banks was extended to under developed areas. Market expansion for credit and deposits. Decrease in service level of bank officers. Decrease in profitability as well. In 1990 the government decided to denationalize all the nationalized institutions. Same was also suggested in the banking sector. For this purpose amendments were made to nationalization act 1974 and two nationalized banks were privatized. The two privatized banks are: MCB taken up by the private group in April 1991 & ABL taken up by its own employees in September 1991. After these a large number of private and foreign banks
12

started their operation in Pakistan. The banking system is passing through a difficult phase mainly because of excessive political interference in the working of the nationalized banks by the different governments in the past. Hence the political interference in nationalized banks did not allow them to carry out their business purely on merit. It may be recalled that some twenty years back, the banking system was working on such a solid ground that various developing and under-developed countries used to take guidelines from Pakistani banks. A little earlier before the creation of country, the role of Muslims of the areas which were later included in Pakistan was of no significance due to their restricted participation in the banking sector. There was only a small bank namely Australasia Bank having a few branches in Lahore and its suburbs. In 1942, the Australasia bank was housed in a garage of a trader of Lahore who used to trade at a small scale with Australia during that period. However the only Bank was run by the Muslims of the sub-continent was Habib Bank which was established in 1941. At that time Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah expressed his desire that another Muslim bank also be established in Calcutta which came into reality when Adamjee with the assistance of Isphanis established Muslim Commercial Bank a few months before the creation of Pakistan in Calcutta. When Pakistan came in to being The Habib Bank shifted its Headquarters from India to Karachi. A few of Habib Bank's branches were already in operation in Pakistan. The Muslim Commercial Bank also moved its headquarters from Calcutta to Dhaka and later on to Karachi. At the time of independence, another small bank namely Bank of Bahawalpur also started business from Bahawalpur from December 1947. The establishment of the National Bank of Pakistan in 1950 on the pattern of Imperial Bank of India was yet another milestone in the banking history of Pakistan. In September 1949 the rupee value was reduced against the Pound sterling which was a major event in the banking circles. Consequently Indian government devalued its Rupee against Pound Starlings; however Pakistan decided not to devalue its currency against Pound Sterling which resulted in increase of Pakistani cotton and jute prices for India which affected our exports to India. Though Pakistan had to suffer economically due to decline of exports to India, it however gave a sense of economic independence to Pakistan. Cut in imports from Pakistan proved as a blessing in disguise as Pakistan had to explore new exports markets for its products. However Indian banks operating in Pakistan refused to finance Pakistani exports. It assumed the supervisory and monetary policy powers of the State Bank of India. In the period of 60s to 70s the emergence of a number of specialized developments finances institutions (DFIs) such as Industrial Development Bank of Pakistan (IDBP) and the Agricultural Development Bank (ADB). These DFIs were either controlled directly by the state or through the SBP, and were intended to concentrate on specific priority sector lending. In 1974 all domestic
13

commercial banks were nationalized by the Government. The Pakistan Banking Council was established, which assumed the role of a banking holding company but with limited supervisory powers. However, PBC was dissolved in 1997, leaving the SBP as the sole regulatory authority for banks and financial institutions in Pakistan. Nationalization of the banking sector led to pet projects. The branch network of NCBs also proliferated in an effort to provide banking services to all regions/territories of the country, often with disregard to the viability or feasibility of such expansion. CHANGES INTRODUCED IN BANKING SYSTEM: It should be kept in mind that Pakistan despite formulating good policies has not been able to attain the desired results mainly due to poor implementation of the polices. Deregulation of the financial sector and capital markets led to mushrooming growth of banking companies in the private sector. Several big industrial groups set up their own banks, which to date remain relatively small compared to the NCBs and other larger foreign banks. The new banking sector reforms have also stripped the government of its powers to interfere in a banks operations. All such powers now rest with the SBP only, thereby significantly reducing political influence/intervention in financial institutions and, hence, credit quality. After the change the SBP has taken a number of steps to introduce professional management in the nationalized banks. The strategy of the SBP is to, first improve the quality of new loans and then to tackle the non-performing loans problems. All nationalized banks have been asked to curtail their overheads, especially the head counts. Professionals from the private sector have been appointed as Presidents to improve the health of nationalized banks and make them more attractive for privatization. The SBP has completely revamped the disclosure laws and introduced a highly informative new format for presenting annual accounts of banks. Under the new format, banks would now have to provide details about bad loans, the level of provisioning held, maturity profile as well as the currency breakdown of both assets and liabilities, and details of transactions with associated companies. Interest rate has been under pressure since 1997. The SBP has been coercing banks, specially nationalized commercial banks to lower their mark-up rates. A number of NCBs have announced a reduction in maximum mark-up rates, ranging from 2% to over 5%. Yield on government securities have also been driven down to just over 16% to 17.5%. The new military coups government seems to be relying on a lower interest rate
14

environment to spur domestic industrial activity. The intention is to cut mark-up rates, to make working capital more affordable. Banks have been straining under the burden of non-performing loans and low capitalization, and unable to step up lending activities in the recent past. Banks have concentrated on building up provisions. However, the weakness in interest rates is expected to continue. With interest rates set to weaken further the spreads is likely to improve. Large banks with widespread networks would be ideally suited to leverage-off their traditional cost advantage to capture cheap deposits. Profitability is expected to improve dramatically for the banking sector. The banking sector in Pakistan has been going through a comprehensive but complex and painful process of restructuring since 1997. It is aimed at making these institutions financially sound and forging their links firmly with the real sector for promotion of savings, investment and growth. Although a complete turnaround in banking sector performance is not expected till the completion of reforms, signs of improvement are visible. The almost simultaneous nature of various factors makes it difficult to disentangle signs of improvement and deterioration. Commercial banks have been exposed and withstood several types of pressure since 1997. Some of these are: 1) multipronged reforms introduced by the central bank, 2) freezing of foreign currency accounts, 3) continued stagnation in economic activities and low growth and 4) drive for accountability and loan recovery. All these have brought a behavioral change both among the borrowers as well as the lenders. The risk aversion has been more pronounced than warranted. Commercial banks operating in Pakistan can be divided into four categories: 1) Nationalized Commercial Banks (NCBs), 2) Privatized Banks, 3) Private Banks and 4) Foreign Banks. While preparing this report efforts have been made to evaluate the performance of each group which enjoy certain strengths and weaknesses as per procedure followed by State Bank of Pakistan (SBP). The central bank has been following a supervisory framework, CAMEL, which involves the analysis of six indicators which reflect the financial health of financial institutions. These are: 1) Capital Adequacy, 2) Asset Quality, 3) Management Soundness, 4) Earnings and Profitability, 5) Liquidity and 6) Sensitivity to Market Risk. Capital adequacy: Protect the interest of depositors as well as shareholders, SBP introduced the risk based system for capital adequacy in late 1998. Banks are required to maintain 8 per cent capital to Risk Weighted Assets (CRWA) ratio. Banks were required to achieve a minimum paid-up capital to Rs. 500 million by December 31, 1998. This requirement
15

has been raised to one billion rupee and banks have been given a deadline up to January 1, 2003 to comply with this. The ratio has deteriorated after 1998. However, it was fallout of economic sanctions imposed on Pakistan after it conducted nuclear tests. The shift in SBP policy regarding investment in securities also led to a fall in ratio. However, most of the banks have been able to maintain above the desired ratio as well as direct their investment towards more productive private sector advances. Higher provisioning against non-performing loans (NPLs) has also contributed to this decline. However, this is considered a positive development. Asset quality: Asset quality is generally measured in relation to the level and severity of nonperforming assets, recoveries, adequacy of provisions and distribution of assets. Although, the banking system is infected with large volume of NPLs, its severity has stabilized to some extent. The rise over the years was due to increase in volume of NPLs following enforcement of more vigorous standards for classifying loans, improved reporting and disclosure requirements adopted by the SBP. In case of NCBs this improvement is much more pronounced given their share in total NPLs. In case of privatized and private banks, this ratio went up considerably and become a cause of concern. However, the level of infection in foreign banks is not only the lowest but also closes to constant. The ratio of net NPLs to net advances, another indicator of asset quality, for all banks has declined. Marked improvement is viable in recovery efforts of banks. This has been remarkable in the case of NCBs, in terms of reduction in the ratio of loan defaults to gross advances. Although, privatized banks do not show significant improvement, their ratio is much lower than that of NCBs. Only exception is the group of private banks for which the ratio has gone up due to bad performance of some of the banks in the group. However, it is still the lower, except when compared with that of foreign banks. Management soundness: Given the qualitative nature of management, it is difficult to judge its soundness just by looking at financial accounts of the banks. Nevertheless, total expenditure to total income and operating expenses to total expenses help in gauging the management quality of any commercial bank.

16

Pressure on earnings and profitability of foreign and private banks caused their expenditure to income ratio to rise in 1998. However, it started tapering down as they adjusted their portfolios. An across the board increase in administrative expenses to total expenditure is visible from the year 1999. The worst performers in this regard are the privatized banks, mostly because of high salaries and allowances. Earnings and profitability: Strong earnings and profitability profile of banks reflects the ability to support present and future operations. More specifically, this determines the capacity to absorb losses, finance its expansion programme, pay dividend to its shareholders and build up adequate level of capital. Being front line of defense against erosion of capital base from losses, the need for high earnings and profitability can hardly be overemphasized. Although different indicators are used to serve the purpose, the best and most widely used indicator is return on assets (ROA). Net interest margin is also used. Since NCBs have significantly large share in the banking sector, their performance overshadows the other banks. However, profit earned by this group resulted in positive value of ROA of banking sector during 2000, despite losses suffered by ABL. Pressure on earnings was most visible in case of foreign banks in 1998. The stress on earnings and profitability was inevitable despite the steps taken by the SBP to improve liquidity. Not only did liquid assets to total assets ratio declined sharply, earning assets to total assets also fell. T-Bill portfolio of banks declined considerably, as they were less remunerative. Foreign currency deposits became less attractive due to the rise in forward cover charged by the SBP. Banks reduced return on deposits to maintain their spread. However, they were not able to contain the decline in ROA due to declining stock and remuneration of their earning assets. Liquidity: Movement in liquidity indicators since 1997 indicates the painful process of adjustments. Ratio of liquid assets to total assets has been on a constant decline. This was consciously brought about by the monetary policy changes by the SBP to manage the crisis-like situation created after 1998. Both the cash reserve requirement ((CRR) and the statutory liquidity requirement (SLR) were reduced in 1999. These steps were reinforced by declines in SBP's discount rate and T-Bill yields to help banks manage rupee withdrawals and still meet the credit requirement of the private sector.

17

Foreign banks have gone through this adjustment much more quickly than other banks. Their decline in liquid assets to total assets ratio, as well as the rise in loan to deposit ratio, are much steeper than other groups. Trend in growth of deposits shows that most painful part of the adjustment is over. This is reflected in the reversal of decelerating deposit growth into accelerating one in year 2000. Sensitivity to market risk: Rate sensitive assets have diverged from rate sensitive liabilities in absolute terms since 1997. The negative gap has widened. Negative value indicates comparatively higher risk sensitivity towards liability side, while decline in interest rates may prove beneficial. Deposit Mobilization: Deposit mobilization has dwindled considerably after 1997. Deposits as a proportion of GDP have been going down. Growth rate of overall deposits of banks has gone down. However, the slow down seems to have been arrested and reversed in year 2000. Group-wise performance of deposit mobilization is the reflection of the varying degree with which each group has been affected since 1998. Foreign banks were affected the most due to their heavy reliance of foreign currency deposits. They experience 14 per cent erosion in 1999. However, they were able to achieve over 2 per cent growth in year 2000. Similar recovery was shown by private banks. Deposit mobilization by NCBs seems to be waning after discontinuation of their rupee deposit schemes linked with lottery prizes. Growths in their deposits were on the decline. Despite the decline NCBs control a large share in total deposits. Aggressive posture of private banks in mobilizing more deposits in year 2000 is clearly reflected in their deposit growth, from 1.9 per cent in year 1999 to 21.7 per cent in year 2000. This has also helped them in increasing their share in total deposits to over 14 per cent in year 2000. Due to the shift in policy, now banks are neither required nor have the option to place their foreign currency deposits with the SBP. Although, the growth in foreign currency deposits increases the deposit base, it does not add to their rupee liquidity. The increasing share of foreign currency deposits in total base is a worrying development. In order to check this trend, SBP made it compulsory for the banks not to allow foreign
18

currency deposits to exceed 20 per cent of their rupee deposits effective from January 1, 2002. Credit extension: Bulk of the advances extended by banks is for working capital which is self-liquidating in nature. However, due to an easing in SBP's policy, credit extension has exceeded deposit mobilization. This is reflected in advances growing at 12.3 per cent in year 1j999 and 14 per cent in year 2000. Group-wise performance of banks in credit extension reveals three distinct features. 1) Foreign banks curtailed their lending, 2) continued dominance by NCBs and 3) aggressive approach being followed by private banks. Private Banks were the only group that not only maintained their growth in double-digit but also pushed it to over 31 per cent in year 2000. With this high growth, they have surpassed foreign banks, in terms of their share in total advances in year 2000. Banking spreads: Over the years there has been a declining trend both in lending and deposit rates. Downward trend in lending rates was due to SBP policy. The realized trend in lending rates was in line with monetary objectives of SBP, though achieved with lags following the sharp reduction in T-Bill yields in year 1999, needed to induce required change in investment portfolio of banks. Downward trend in deposit rates was almost inevitable. One can argue that banks should have maintained, if not increased, their deposit rates to arrest declining growth in total deposits. However, this was not possible at times of eroding balance sheet; steady earnings were of prime importance. Consequently banks tried to find creative ways of mobilizing deposits at low rates. However, due to inefficiencies of the large banks, the spread has remained high. Asset composition: Assets of banking sector, as per cent of GDP, have been on the decline. Slowdown in asset growth was also accompanied by changing share of different groups. Negative growth in the assets of foreign banks during 1998 and 1999 was the prime reason behind declining growth in overall assets of the banking sector. Share of NCBs have

19

been decreasing since private banks were allowed to operate in 1992. In terms of asset share, private banks are now as large as foreign banks. Problem bank management: The central bank is the sole authority to supervise, monitor and regulate financial institutions. It is also responsible to safeguard the interest of depositors and shareholders of these institutions. Lately, SBP took actions against two private banks which became a threat to viability of the financial system in the country. These were Indus Bank and Prudential Commercial Bank. On the basis of detailed investigations, the license of Indus Bank was cancelled on September 11, 2000. After successful negotiations, management and control of Prudential Bank handed over to Saudi-Pak group. Outlook: Commercial banks have been going through the process of restructuring. There are efforts to reduce lending rates. The SBP has been successful in implementing its policies. Most of the banks have been able to adjust to new working environment. The proposed increase in capital base will provide further impetus to financial system in the country. In the post September 11 era, the GOP borrowing from SBP and commercial banks is expected to come down substantially and private sector borrowing to increase. However, a temporary decline in repayment ability of borrowers may increase provisioning for the year 2001. The situation is expected to improve in year 2002. Unless efforts are made by banks to shrink spread, depositors will not be able to get return which corresponds with the rate of inflation in the country. Privatization of NCBs is expected to be delayed due to external factors. However, it is an opportunity for the banks to further clean their slate.

STRENGTH:

SWOT ANALYSIS OF BANKING SECTOR

Allocates funds for the highest value use while on the flip side. Proponents of state controlled mechanism of firms operations; the enterprises need monopoly in markets mainly to achieve social objectives such as creation of employment opportunities. Banking system of Pakistan is a two-tier system including the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), commercial banks, specialized banks, Development Finance Institutions (DFIs), Microfinance banks and Islamic banks. The banks in Pakistan provide settlement and cash services to individuals and companies, including correspondent-banking. Banks also offer domestic and cross-border remittance services to the population. Depository services for the accounting and safekeeping of securities. 80 percent of the banking assets are held by the private sector banks and the privatization of nationalized commercial banks has brought about a culture of professionalism and service orientation in place of bureaucracy and apathy. Banking Technology that was almost non-existent in Pakistan until a few years ago has Revolutionized the customer services and access on-line banking, Internet banking, ATMs, mobile phone banking/ branchless banking and other modes of delivery have made it possible to provide convenience to the customers while reducing the transaction costs to the banks. The Credit Cards, Debit Cards, Smart Cards etc. business has also expanded. Islamic Financial Services (IFS) needs careful nurturing and development to make a significant impact on the financial landscape of Pakistan.

68

WEAKNESS: Credit risk is the key challenge of the banking system in Pakistan these days. The overall fragile economic situation and weaknesses in the operating environment has aggravated the credit risk since end 2008. As a result, Non Performing Loans (NPLs) have been mounting and the advances declining.
Interest rate volatility, besides affecting interest rate risk, alters the cost of borrowing which is inextricably linked to the repayment capacity of the borrowers.

High government borrowing, persistent fiscal deficits and the resultant rampant inflation are largely to blame for the lending rates remaining in double figures.
Banks loan classification by major segments indicates that in line with the overall slow growth in advances, the shares of loans to the corporate sector, SMEs, Agriculture and Consumer Finance all declined.

Sectorwise distribution of loans to the private sector also highlights credit risk concentration as loan to the textile and sugar sector alone constitute almost 40 percent (about 20 percent each) of banks loans portfolio. Management of a bank is failing to discharge its responsibility in accordance with the applicable statutory criteria or banking rules & regulations or is failing to protect the interests of the depositors or for advancing loans and finance without due regard for the best interests of the bank or for reasons other than merit. OPPORTUNITIES:

Agriculture is strategically an important sector for the economy, having above 20% share of GDP and a major source of livelihood for 65% of the countrys population living in rural areas. The sector is largely unserved / under-served by banks; less than 20% of about 7 million farm households in the country have access to bank credit. SME sector is another under-served area. Presently only 0.2 million SMEs have access to bank financing out of 3.1 million SMEs across the country. The low presence of banking services in SMEs is attributable to the high risk perception about SMEs, over conservatism of banks in underwriting the risks in serving the non-traditional sectors like SMEs and agriculture. On the contrary, banks place their surplus funds in risk free government securities.
69

Housing finance is another attractive avenue. Despite a deficit of more than six million housing units in the country - that is increasing due to supply shortage - the housing finance market is largely under developed; mortgage loans are approximately 1 percent of GDP, which suggests that a huge un-tapped market awaits banks to exploit. A large portion of 180 million people in Pakistan are potential consumer loan customers. However, banks need to developing sound lending strategies to manage their risk. Islamic banking and generally Islamic Financial Services are a growing phenomenon, which came into existence to meet the needs of the devout Muslims around the world; Pakistan with 97% Muslim population presents a huge market for Islamic Financial Service. Microfinance is another sector which provides a lot of opportunities. Commercial banks and other financial institutes may have an opportunity to invest their funds in this sector. THREATS:

Major challenges facing the domestic economy can only be partly attributed to the GFC. Indeed there was a decline in exports due to recession in economies which are Pakistans major trading partners, and there was pressure on capital flows where strained liquidity position in global financial markets impacted foreign portfolio investment. Factors such as the power shortages leading to under utilization of industrial capacity and rise in the cost of production, the longstanding issue of intercorporate circular debt, considerable decline in foreign direct investment due to weak economic fundamentals, high inflation, security concerns and above all, the mounting fiscal deficit breaching previous records. Public sector borrowed heavily from banks for budgetary support, financing needs of Public sector Enterprises (PSEs) and commodity operations.

70

The leading evidence of these various pressures on domestic firms and industries is that their loan repayment capacity has been compromised, with a consequent rise of nonperforming loans (NPLs) on the banks balance sheets. Banks have been forced to build contingency reserves and provide for infected assets. Such requirements have been affecting their dividend payments and consequently putting pressure on their share prices.

CHAPTER # 8
STRENGTH: 4TH largest Bank of Pakistan in term of deposits. Mainly operated by Mansha's group. MCB is working in Pakistan over 60 years of success. 3RD largest Privatized Bank of Pakistan.

SWOT ANAYSIS OF MCB

MCB offering Customized Products and services aggressively betters than its competitors. Improved operational efficiency as to its past. Courteous Customer service and fast delivery of online and offline services. Marvelous Image and Reputation of the bank in the eyes of its customers. Extensive Branch network. MCB Product positioning is very effective. MCB targets the segment like salaried person, business people and self employed person. MCB product positioning affects the life style of the people as they help in improving standard of living. 1166 Branches all over Pakistan. Stands in the list of Profitable bank in stock exchange. Overseas Branches.

72

Bank is continuously focusing on developing new and innovative products to attract their target market. Brand image because of "Muslim" word in the name in an Islamic country. Personnel of MCB are very well trained. Majority of employees have many years of experience in banking sector and are an asset for the bank.

WEAKNESS: No standardization in terms of branches some of the branches are very attractive and most of the branches are not very good like other branches. In some regions, urban areas of Pakistan service of MCB are not good as compared to other privatized banks.

Customer facing problem of NADRA verification while opening their accounts because its process is time consuming. No promotions in MCB and it can be gone couple of years. Lack of organizational loyalty among employees. The application time is also quite lengthy. MCB is a step behind in using new technology as compared to other banks. All branches need orientation for customer dealing. Most of the employees are overload with the work and promotion is also not timely. Most of employees are experienced and they are not able to deal customers well, adopt new culture and above all they are unable to use of new technology like computers. As most of the employees are young they have more tendencies to switch the organization and to seek more opportunities.

73

No separate training center to train their employees. Employees are not well dressed. Workforce is not diverse. Security system in most of the branches is not up to the mark. OPPORTUNITIES:

Bank can extend its network in other cities of Pakistan like other 4 remote cities, it would increase their sales. Proper orientation of employees in all branches can help them to cope up with foreign banks. Bringing new technology and modern business processes will bring the change and increase their profitability. Call centre services should be improved to enhance their network.

Emergence of Islamic banking in the country and MCB is increasing its Islamic Banking operations. Bank has earned a good name by introducing innovative products like car financing home financing credit cards these products can easily enhance the market share. Bank introduces Islamic banking in country that attracts large number of people. Free staff training facilities offered. Greater profitability can be achieved through strong internal control. Profit and deposit of banking industry have shown an increasing trend because of better marketing environment. Elimination of risk of fraud through professional training.

74

Opportunity to open branch in ruler area to increase its branch network and gain more profit. The bank can earn more profit by advancing to farmers and industrialists at low rates. New schemes for deposits and finances should be introduced regularly.

THREATS: Large and increasing competition. High operating costs. Unregistered business concern and Weak economic condition of Pakistan. Current economic crunch and Political instability. Political instability. Rising deposit rates and People losing trust in banks. Foreign banks in market having more marketing budgets. People losing trust in banks. Decline in private and public sector credit due to tight monetary policy. Participation of foreign banks in local market that can hurt the market share. Growing NPL's of the industry which may hurt MCB also. Mergers & acquisition activities, consolidating the banking sector and MCB is also vulnerable to it. The market is already saturated Uncertainty in Pakistan and poor law and order situation are also big threat for bank. Restructuring of privatized banks. Tough competition by foreign nationalized and privatized banks in foreign trade business in fact competition is always a threat for organization.

75

The stiff competition also causes switching of employee bank have to pay more salaries to their employees. Cost of doing business is increasing day by day so its very hard to compete with financial sector. Government policies are changing day by day and government stability is also not there.

76

CHAPTER # 9

IDENTIFICATION OF PLAUSIBLE PROBLEM

Lack of knowledgeable staff working in the branch. No proper ventilation system. No proper shelves of banking books and they are separated here and there. ATMs performance is so bad (card stuck and some other problems). There is no lighting system in the branch. Each cabin has very bad conditions and all the glass sheet are broken from different sides.

Server issue occurs many times; sometimes it could be disconnected from the main head office and maintained after three or four hours. There is no proper person of banc assurance and in the credit department. There is no maintenance of notice board.

77

CHAPTER # 10

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR SUITABLE COURSE OF ACTION

Proper ventilation system is going too maintained in the branch. Changing the ATM machine. Oracle 10.1 MCB software has been installed in the computer system to solve the issue of server disconnected. Cabin could be maintained proper wood and glass fiber should be used to make a good impact on the customer.

Proper maintenance of notice board each new information can be on notice board. Proper recruitment of banc assurance and for the credit department.

78

CHAPTER # 11

CONCLUSION

The banking in Pakistan - a highly regulated industry - has witnessed a rapid progress in recent years and has been characterized by an increasing sophisticated provision of banking services. However, a large portion of the 180 million population of Pakistan is still un-banked or underserved by the formal financial system which is attributable to, among others, low penetration of the banking system particularly in rural/semi rural areas and general dislike for interest income (un-Islamic banking system). A World Bank study on access to finance published in 2008 estimated that only 14% of the population in Pakistan is banked and has access to the formal financial system. Thus a huge un-tapped market is available for financial services. Today, the biggest challenge for Banks in Pakistan is increase in non-performing loans (NPLs) and low private sector credit demand as high lending rates and weak economy is adversely affecting the borrowers payment capacity. Furthermore, heavy flooding in Pakistan during August 2010 caused humanitarian disaster and altered the macroeconomic outlook. These adverse developments create a difficult operating environment for banks. However, some experts are of the opinion that the weak economic growth is for a short run. Due to the said challenges, Pakistans banking industry has been undergoing risk consolidation since 2009 by rebalancing its assets from advances to investment. The banks efforts to contain the element of credit risks are clearly visible from their inclination to invest in government securities and their preference to meet financing needs of the government rather than the private sector. Notwithstanding the difficult operating environment, the Banks numbers show that the banking sector in Pakistan has been performing well - though dominated by five large commercial banks.
