Introduction of the organization

business sectors including for:
President's Message
1 of 122
It gives me great pleasure to announce that National Bank of Pakistan is gearing up to
the challenges faced by the domestic banking industry due to innovations and
advances in the international banking world, which is the consequence of
globalization. The bank wishes to effectively utilize the financial assistance being
extended by the Government of Pakistan for banking sector reforms aimed at reducing
operating costs and improving profitability.
National Bank of Pakistan is distinct from other banks in that it has a nonprofit and
service oriented motive, which has manifested itself in the area of salary deposits of
government employees and payment of utility bills. The bank renders both of these
services across the country reaching as far as the remotest regions; from our northern
borders to the Arabian Sea. These services do not contribute towards the earnings of
the bank; rather they put pressure on our resources. Nevertheless, we are committed to
serving small savers and the general public of the country. National Bank is
everyone’s and does not only serve corporate customers. By extending and targeting
our research to improve bank earnings, through customer focus of our commercial
and corporate branches, and by enhanced efforts towards the development of human
capital, we shall very soon transform the bank from a bureaucratic organization to a
fast paced, modern, and competitive bank.
In conclusion, I firmly believe that we have the vision, which will enable us to
achieve even better results, safeguard the interest of our customers and to assist us in
our march towards progress and prosperity in future.

During the year the bank launched “Premium Saver Account” (PLS Saving Account)
and Premium Amdani Certificate
(Monthly Income Scheme Account) offering attractive rates to small depositors.
We are pleased to inform the shareholders that in June 2007 JCR-VIS Credit Rating
Co. Limited upgraded standalone
medium to long-term rating of National Bank of Pakistan to AAA from AA+, the
highest in the banking sector.
JCR-VIS had earlier assigned two ratings to NBP. The stand-alone rating of “AA+/A-
1+” (Double A Plus / A One
Plus) reflected the intrinsic strength of the bank while the credit ratings of “AAA/A-
1+” (Triple A / A-ONE Plus) were based on the sovereign guarantee on the bank’s
deposits extended under the Bank Nationalization Act, 1974.
During the current rating review, JCR-VIS Credit Rating Co Limited (JCR-VIS) has
given due consideration to the sustainability observed in various indicators over the
past few years which reflect the significance of National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) to
the local economy. It is the only public sector bank in the country and has been able to
leverage the advantage to profitably tap certain avenues in both local and foreign
markets inclusive of running the largest treasury operations locally. The organization
has been able to strategically manage and build on its competitive advantages which
have translated into a strong and well - managed improvement in profitability trends
observed over the last few years, a substantial balance sheet footing of sound asset
quality, and strong liquidity and capitalization levels. Globally also, the bank is
20
strengthening its reach and has been actively constructing a branch network in recent
years with focus on South Asia, Central Asia and the Middle East, as well as China.
In consideration of the factors mentioned above, JCR-VIS has upgraded medium to
long-term rating of AAA on a stand-alone basis as well, negating the need for dual
ratings.
We extend our appreciation to the bank’s staff for their commitment, dedication and
hard work in achieving these excellent results. We would like to express our
appreciation to our stakeholders, regulators and our valued customers for their support
and continued confidence in NBP.
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying interim condensed balance sheet of National
Bank of Pakistan as at June 30,2007 and the related interim condensed profit and loss
account and interim condensed statements of cash flows and changes in equity
together with the notes forming part thereof (here-in-after referred to as “interim
financial information”) for the half year then ended. Management is responsible for
the preparation and presentation of this interim financial information in accordance
with approved accounting standards as applicable in Pakistan. Our responsibility is to
express a conclusion on this interim financial information based on our review. The
figures of the interim condensed profit and loss account for the quarters ended June
30, 2007 and 2006 have not been reviewed, as we are required to review only the
cumulative figures for the half year ended June 30, 2007.
21
Scope of Review
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review
Engagements 2410, “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the
Independent Auditor of the Entity”. A review of interim financial information consists
of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International
Standards on Auditing and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that
we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit.
Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that
the accompanying interim financial information is not prepared, in all material
respects, in accordance with approved accounting standards as applicable in Pakistan.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE:
In foreign exchange I worked for one week. Sir Ansar majeed is in charge of
foreign exchange department.
Foreign Exchange, currency and money claims, such as bank balances and bank
drafts, expressed in the equivalent value in foreign money.
In the broader sense, the word foreign exchange is related to the exchange of methods
through which
o The currency of the one country is exchanged for that of another;
o The forms in which exchanges are conducted and
o The ratio at which they are affected.
.
National central banks play an important role in the foreign exchange markets. They
try to control the money supply, inflation, and/or interest rates and often have official
or unofficial target rates for their currencies. They can use their often substantial
foreign exchange reserves to stabilize the market.
The use of foreign exchange arises because different nations have different monetary
units, and the currency of one country cannot be used for making payments in another
country. Because of trade, travel, and other transactions between individuals and
business enterprises of different countries, it becomes necessary to convert money
into the currency of other countries in order to pay for goods or services in those
51
countries. The transfer of money values from one country to another and the
determination of the price at which the currency of one country will be surrendered
for that of another constitute the main problems of foreign exchange.
Foreign exchange plays an important role in the payments of international trade.
The foreign exchange market is unique because of
1. Its trading volumes,
2. The extreme liquidity of the market,
3. The large number of, and variety of, traders in the market,
4. Its geographical dispersion,
5. Its long trading hours: 24 hours a day except on weekends (from 5pm EST
on Sunday until 4pm EST Friday),
6. The variety of factors that affect exchange rates.
7. The low margins of profit compared with other markets of fixed income
(but profits can be high due to very large trading volumes)
8. The use of leverage
52
Those transfers whereby residents of one
country acquire securities (stocks and bonds) and tangible assets (land) in
foreign countries with the purpose of earning profits in future.
b. Short term capital transfers:
Those transfers which move relatively
quick from country to country.
Fore speculative purposes
To take advantages of differences in interest rates
As balancing items where a country has a debit or credit
balance on current accounts
For example:
• Money gold and
• Holdings of commercial credit, bills, cheques etc
• Transactions with I.M.F
In National Bank of Pakistan, four currency accounts are available:
1. US Dollar

Spot
A spot transaction is a two-day delivery transaction (except in the case of the
Canadian dollar, which settles the next day), as opposed to the futures
contracts, which are usually three months. This trade represents a “direct
59
exchange” between two currencies, has the shortest time frame, involves cash
rather than a contract; and interest is not included in the agreed-upon
transaction. The data for this study come from the spot market. Spot has the
largest share by volume in FX transactions among all instruments.
Forward
One way to deal with the Forex risk is to engage in a forward transaction. In
this transaction, money does not actually change hands until some agreed upon
future date. A buyer and seller agree on an exchange rate for any date in the
future, and the transaction occurs on that date, regardless of what the market
rates are then. The duration of the trade can be a few days, months or years.
Future
Foreign currency futures are forward transactions with standard contract sizes
and maturity dates.
Swap
The most common type of forward transaction is the currency swap. In a
swap, two parties exchange currencies for a certain length of time and agree to
reverse the transaction at a later date. These are not standardized contracts and
are not traded through an exchange.
Option
A foreign exchange option (commonly shortened to just FX option) is a
derivative where the owner has the right but not the obligation to exchange
money denominated in one currency into another currency at a pre-agreed
exchange rate on a specified date. The FX options market is the deepest,
largest and most liquid market for options of any kind in the world.
Exchange Traded Fund
Exchange-traded funds (or ETFs) are Open Ended investment companies that
can be traded at any time throughout the course of the day.
Speculation
Controversy about currency speculators and their effect on currency
devaluations and national economies recurs regularly.

Although exchange rates are affected by many factors, in the end, currency
prices are a result of supply and demand forces. The world's currency markets
can be viewed as a huge melting pot: in a large and ever-changing mix of
current events, supply and demand factors are constantly shifting, and the
price of one currency in relation to another shifts accordingly. No other market
encompasses (and distills) as much of what is going on in the world at any
given time as foreign exchange.
Supply and demand for any given currency, and thus its value, are not
influenced by any single element, but rather by several. These elements
generally fall into three categories: economic factors, political conditions and
market psychology.
Economic factors
These include economic policy, disseminated by government agencies and
central banks, economic conditions, generally revealed through economic
reports, and other economic indicators.
Economic policy comprises government fiscal policy (budget/spending
practices) and monetary policy (the means by which a government's central
bank influences the supply and "cost" of money, which is reflected by the level
of interest rates).
Economic conditions include:
61
Government budget deficits or surpluses: The market usually reacts negatively
to widening government budget deficits, and positively to narrowing budget
deficits. The impact is reflected in the value of a country's currency.
Balance of trade levels and trends: The trade flow between countries illustrates
the demand for goods and services, which in turn indicates demand for a
country's currency to conduct trade. Surpluses and deficits in trade of goods
and services reflect the competitiveness of a nation's economy. For example,
trade deficits may have a negative impact on a nation's currency.
Inflation levels and trends: Typically, a currency will lose value if there is a
high level of inflation in the country or if inflation levels are perceived to be
rising. This is because inflation erodes purchasing power, thus demand, for
that particular currency. However, a currency may sometimes strengthen when
inflation rises because of expectations that the central bank will raise short-
term interest rates to combat rising inflation.
Economic growth and health: Reports such as gross domestic product (GDP),
employment levels, retail sales, capacity utilization and others, detail the
levels of a country's economic growth and health. Generally, the more healthy
and robust a country's economy, the better its currency will perform, and the
more demand for it there will be.
Political conditions
Internal, regional, and international political conditions and events can have a
profound effect on currency markets.
For instance, political upheaval and instability can have a negative impact on a
nation's economy. The rise of a political faction that is perceived to be fiscally
responsible can have the opposite effect. Also, events in one country in a
region may spur positive or negative interest in a neighboring country and, in
the process, affect its currency.
Credit has been defined as "A question of ability to pay coupled with an
intention to pay."
62
If it can be said that one department is more important in a commercial bank than
another, surely the credit department is that one. A great deal has been written of late
in regard to the systematic gathering of credit information.
Sir Shabbir Dar is incharge of credit department.
It may be defined as
“The sale of goods and services and money claims in the present in exchange
for a promise to pay in future. “
The most important activity of the bank is the granting of credit to the
customers. NBP provides short term long terms financing for domestic and
international trade. The policies made by central office of the cash can be
amended on the basis of the rules and regulation, economic risk of each
country board of directors and committee of the NBP made this type of
decisions and informed about these decisions to the branch managers.
Manager can grant the credit limit to each customer with in the declared limits
approved by the controlling offices i.e., co, GHQ, circle and zonal. Banks
grant credit to the customer for a certain period of time. The banks provided
credit to the customers so that they can purchase ahead of their liability. By
giving these facility to the customer’s large scale production of commodity
can be achieved and economic growth rate can be increased. The power to
sanctioned loans had been delegated for controlling different offices,
according to amount of loan. This department is also called as risk
management group.
The following elements are used for credit selection.
Character: It is based on the borrower willingness to repay the obligation.
The loan officer sees the family background mode of living, business nature,
habits, moral reputation and etc. before giving the loan.
Capacity: The ability of borrower to repay the loan when due. The borrower
ability to repay the loan is assessed by the office so that he will be able to
repay the loan in future.
Capital: The officer assesses the capital of the borrower. If assets held by the
borrower are liquid, they can be easily convertible in cash; but if non liquid is
used then it is risky to given loan.
Collateral: It is collateral security. It may consists of stocks bonds , bill of
exchange, bills of lading, etc. the bank has protect him self from any
63
discrepancy in the future. They increase the ability of the borrower to obtain
the funds from the bank.
Condition: The economic condition of the borrower is determined. The
economic conditions of the borrower in and out side the country effects the
repayment of loan. If condition is favorable then loan is given otherwise vice
versa.
Functions
64
Security against running finance is that which is easily convertible in to cash
and bank kept 25% margins with it.
Non-Fund: Bank provide non fund advance in the following form:
a. Guarantee
b. Imports
Guarantee: A guarantee is a promise between one person to another person or
party to answerable for the debt of a third party. Bank issues guarantee after
100%cash collaterals are provided by the person i.e.50% in the form of the
property.

Status reports: A credit report is an assessment of borrower’s character and
capacity from a banker’s point of view. Credit reports on borrowers called
Status Reports, financial reports, banker’s opinion or confidential reports. All
these terms carry more or less the same meanings. The study of a borrower is a
65
study of his character, capacity and capital, and collateral often known as the
4Cs to consider his credit worthiness and eligibility for the bank advance.
The purpose of compilation of credit report of the borrower is to assess their
net worth. It must contain information about borrower’s means, character,
integrity, assets, liabilities, business and experience. Besides, borrowers own
investment, details of properties, must be obtained. The borrower may be
asked to give written clarification of their existing liabilities.
In the case of Limited Companies, their borrowing powers to be verified from
their Memorandum & Articles of Association. Their certification of
incorporation to be examined, exiting borrowings, prior charge on their fixed
assets, paid-up capital, reserves, profit and loss position, detailed particulars of
their directors and complete analysis of balance sheet must be incorporated in
the credit report. Independent inquiries about the borrowers and opinions form
their previous bankers must be made. As such a comprehensive credit report is
compiled which serves as a constant guide to the banker about his borrower.
This report is prepared by the bank of the intending borrower with a view to
considering his Credit Worthiness and Eligibility for the Bank Finance.
Besides other things it contains the net worth of the borrower.

1. Financial Condition
Which is reflected in the trends of:
Net sales
Gross sales
Operating profits
Net profits (at least for the last 3 years)
2. Structural Liquidity: It refers to the extent of liquidity usually available
in the business, or which is the routine requirement of the borrower based
on the nature of his periodically maturing liabilities.
3. Industry/Business Of Operation: The banker has to check that in which
industry or segment of market the loan is being given this is important
because if there were a recession in that industry for decades then it would
not be feasible to invest in such a business.
Certain traditionally stable industries are in Pakistan in which NBP feels
satisfied while investing. For example in they feel satisfied by investing in ICI.
4. Debt Equity Management: Excessive reliance on debt, rather than plough
back of profits or injection of fresh equity, to maintain a healthy
combination of debt and equity is thought with danger because ultimately
the debt servicing requirements place a heavy burden on its liquidity
thereby its survival.
5. Assets Management: Asset management involves the analysis of how
productively the assets of the company are being used. Sales and
profitability can be measured with this.
6. Borrower’s Credit Worthiness: In order to get a complete picture of the
borrower’s credit worthiness, inquiries will have to be made about:
a. His business.
b. Trade experience.
c. Assets and liabilities.
d. His account with bank or with other banks.
e. His financial statements and income tax returns.
67
f. An interview with him will be necessary to elucidate or supplement the
information that may have been collected.
7. Management: Before giving loan NBP also checks whether the
management have the depth, skill and experience. If the management is
aggressive and adoptive to the new changes then it is most likely that the
banker may receive the loan back on due date
8. Securities: In case the borrower is not in a position to meet his obligations,
there must be something else to call back upon. So bankers take securities to
have a resource to them to guard liquidity, that is, security is an insurance
against calamities. In case of cash finance the customer have to give the same
amount of money to the NBP as a security for which it takes loan.
Condition for security: The security must be liquid or radically convertible to
cash with more then adequate margin of safety fully under the banks control,
having high value, which can with stand volatile market condition.
Secured by acceptable immovable tangible collateral with necessary margin
and fair degree of marketability under the forced sale situation (should have
buyer). The types of securities may vary from a piece of land or building to
commercial papers or ornaments. Further, security has its own importance, not
only as constituting the ultimate source of recovery in the event of failure of
the borrower or his enterprise, but as providing a measure to the borrowers
own stake in the enterprise and also placing the limitation on his future
borrowings. However, though security serves as a cushion to fall bank upon in
case of need, but its adequacy alone should not form the sole consideration for
judging the suitability of the loan. So the choice of security is not made in
isolation, but keeping into consideration the customer and security offered
together.

During the period of my internship I learn how to deal with different people’s in
for the Govt. related matters. Sir Aziz is the head of Govt. section.
Govt. department deal with the Govt. bills, Pensions etc. Making F-110 & F-15 is
the responsibility of this department. Sir Aziz passes every bill for payments.
Because Govt. department is responsible for the dealing with people therefore, I spend
2 weeks there. In the days of pensions, there was too much rush of pensioners. It was
difficult to handle them because they are all older & want that they get pension as
82
soon as possible. And also the dates of salaries in those days, so it was too hard to deal
with pensioners & govt. bills at a time.
As I had done MBA in HRM, & in this subject I study how to deal with people’s,
what type of planning needs to handle this type of situations, what type of behavior
need at this situations & how to remove conflict in this situation, so it is easy to me to
handle them effectively without any problem.
I made proper planning with cash department for doing work effectively before the
dates of pensions & because of proper planning I was able to complete this task.
I also work in deposit, credit, clearing section, foreign exchange there I also deal with
people effectively.
According to the bank staff, there is too much difficult in work govt. department
because there we meet all types of people & difficult to handle them in rush but
because of doing specialization in HRM, I run this department effectively.
And in this way my internship is related to the knowledge of my area of
specialization.

Self assessments
Company records
Customer complains
New technology
Employee grievances
Interview with managers
Customer satisfaction survey
Observation etc.
In 1949, the first year of operations the NBP has one hundred employees one its
payroll but with in two years this number had grown to 1505 by 1960 the figure has
risen to 5023 and now in 1996 it is the order or 20694.
During the first ten years the NBP trained its own staff through a series
of training programmed both for junior officers and clerical staff. By 1958 how ever it
was obvious that one thins more comprehensive was needed and the bank established
a staff college Karachi. Three mote colleges at Islamabad, Lahore and Peshawar, setup
later. These colleges provide course of instructions, supervisor personnel and clerks to
meet the Bank’s ever growing trained personnel. This needs springs not only from the
steady grown for the bank’s business but also to replace wastage due to retirement
resignation, ill health or death.
The staff college receives junior bank officers for further training in
banking the course lasting from six to nine weeks with about twenty five students in
each course.
89
The staff college course are designed not only to impart technical
instruction, but also develop qualities of judgments decisions, leadership and
management, since these student are likely to be those men who may expect to the
seniors most executive positions the bank has to offer.
2. Employee development:
NBP applies on-job and off-job strategies to train its employees (middle & higher
level).
NBP training & development academy advises Job rotation to ensure & facilitate the
producing of all rounder.
90
The source of this assignment confirms the availability of the training plan at least 2
months before the commencement of New Year, in order to make it easy for the
socializing and orientation of the new employees.
NBP believes in pre-post training test for existing employees & post training test for
new employees. The trainees will be required to submit back-home action plan, which
will be followed up by the JNMDC/Staff colleges. These plans will help in evaluation
and end use of training
D. Performance management
So the output of the organization depends upon the feedback provided to the
employee timely. Especially the newcomer to the organization needs to understand
their jobs and their work setting. The longer-service employees also want positive
91
feedback on the good things they do. So the NBP is an organization where the
management feels about the employees.
The employees feel sense of belongingness in return. HRD section always takes this
opportunity to evaluate the performance of the employees. The appraisal system also
helps the management of the NBP to help the managers with placement, pay, and
other HR decisions. The HRD section of the NBP carries out the appraisal for the
following uses;
It allows the employee, the Manager to take necessary about the improvement of the
performance.
The system also helps in promotion and pays increase of the deserving employees
after their evaluation and also prepares the next person for the succession plan.

Benefit: additional financial rewards rather then basic pay include paid vacations, sick
leaves, holidays, medical insurance.
Non financial rewards: non monitory rewards such as enjoyment of work performed
or a pleasant working environment.
Besides a competitive financial package, they offer excellent working conditions, job
satisfaction, superior leadership, and a conducive environment for growth.
94
Change Management Program: NBP has started an ambitious Change Management
Program to further train its employees to meet the challenges of present day
requirements
Promotion
The promotion policy introduced in 1979 was based on three parameters i.e.
(i) Qualification,
(ii) length of service and
(iii) Standard of service.
Separate marks were prescribed for each of the three parameters and, after
obtaining the minimum qualifying marks varying from cadre to cadre; one could
be promoted to the next higher position. While formulating the merit based
promotion policy introduced in 1999, the considered opinion was that separate
points should not be prescribed for qualification and length of service. The simple
reason for this thinking was that the minimum qualification stood, as prescribed at
induction for different levels of hierarchy. The other consideration for such views
was that in case the employee had increased his qualification for his better
performance as compared to other colleagues, then the said qualification would be
reflected on his performance and this would obviously have him rated better than
others. Views regarding the seniority of an employee were similar. Thus under the
merit based policy of 1999 the overall assessment of an employee was based on
the combination of (a) average of points earned by the employee in his PERs
during previous three years and (b) the points that he would earn in an evaluation
by the Promotion Committee. The awarding of points by the Promotion
committees, however, again reduced the exercise to a mechanical process as 60%
points were fixed for qualification, length of service & standard of service and
only 40% points could be awarded on objective criteria. Further improvements in
the policy are being planned.
Transfer
Transfers on request, however used to take place only on compassionate and medical
grounds while another reason was that these were initiated by the Bank for meeting its
business or administrative requirements i.e. filling up the vacant positions.
95
Maintenance of office-wise seniority lists up to OG-1 (on the General Side) and up to
OG-2 (T.O) (on the Cash side) had also contributed to the lack of movement of
employees from one office to another. Resultantly all the employees become
permanently positioned in their place of work, whether the head office or the field
offices of the Bank. At the same time, there was much movement within the
unit/division of posting. Although instructions provided that an employee can remain
posted in one unit for up to 3 years and in a division for up to 6 years, yet some
offices used to frequently transfer their employees from one unit/division to another.
On the other hand, transfers from one department to another at the Head Office were
rare. This had further deteriorated the level of efficiency both at the head office and
the field offices.
With the objective of preparing staff to accept new challenges, acquire new skills and
diversified experience, the following transfer policy has been framed for all
categories/sides of employees (other than clerical & non-clerical staff of the Bank):
1. The seniority list of all OG-1 and above will be maintained on an all-Pakistan
basis.
However, all employees including those of Cash department shall remain transferable
from one office to another.
2. All transfers involving change in office up to OG-3 shall be made by the
Director Administration, OG-4 & above with the approval of the Managing
Director.
3. Employees on promotion as OG-4 and above shall invariably be transferred
from the office/department where they were working before their promotion.
4. An employee transferred from one office to another shall be allowed to seek
his posting back to his parent office or to the office of his choice subject to
administrative convenience immediately after completion of 3 years.
5. The Chief Manager shall not remain posted at one office for a period of more
than 3 years.
6. The shortage of employees at an office because of review of staff position will
be made good after calling options from the interested employees of the Bank.
If no such employees are available, the vacant positions will be filled through
transfers of employees from the offices where sufficient/surplus staff is
available. Duration of such transfers would be for a period of two years to
avoid inconvenience.
96
Procedures
2. Employees desiring a transfer will submit a written request for transfer to his/her
department head. The employee should identify the specific vacancy in which they
are interested. The department head will forward the request to the Department of
Human Resources for recommended action.
3. The Department of Human Resources will determine whether the desired job or a
suitable job opening exists. If a suitable job is available, the Department of Human
Resources will arrange for the employee's application to be reviewed by the
department in which the opening exists.
4. Employees will be allowed time off with pay for job interviews related to transfers.
5. The decision to affect the transfer will be made by the head of the department in
which the job opening occurs.
Demotion

CRITICAL ANALYSIS
It is true that bank is trying to adopting computerized system but their most of staff is
unable to use computerized system or not familiar with computer.
There are no proper facilities in bank for customer. No proper facilities for old age
people, they face so many problems in bank.
There is no any shop for bank staff so that they can bring something for themselves or
their guests in break time.
Their all system is manual so much time waste in different process.
There is also an electricity problem in this bank.
There is reduction of staff in some departments, so they complete almost their work
from internees.
There is reduction of law & order, so sometimes branch faces so many problems
especially in the dates of pensions.
All types of pensioners are treated same day that’s why this creates problems.
The balance sheet shows the good position of the bank and income statement
provides us a brief look over it success during the year. Although income statement
showing profit during the year but still there are few thing that should be improved
102

STRENGTHS
These are strengths of national bank of Pakistan.
1. NBP one of the largest financial institutions of Pakistan with eight million
of customer base NBP holds 24.6% share of time and demand deposits in
103
the country. Local currency deposits comprise 67% of bank's total deposits
while foreign currency deposits account for the rest.
3. NBP's total assets stood at Pak Rs.370 billion on December 2000. This
included total earning assets of about Pak Rs.268 billion with gross loan
portfolio of Pak Rs.140 billion. The bank also has an investment portfolio
of Pak Rs.91 billion, which comprises treasury securities, corporate bonds,
shares and other securities.
WEAKNESSES
1. NBP staff especially at lower considers their work as burden. They usually
waste time in other task a part in performing their duty. Using government
property for there own need. They are reluctant to accept change brought by
latest restructuring efforts.
2. The general out look and interior layout of branches are not as required
according to modern banking
3. NBP bearing up large burden in running those branches, which are not
producing any income but keep on adding expenditure.
104
4. NBP is relying on its traditional sources of income it has not taken benefit
from innovation in banking like introducing retail banking or consumer
banking and using any type of scheme to generate more deposits and
producing more advances. Further, more don’t even continue its credit card
due mismanagement and lack of control.
5. NBP is far behind in offering modern banking facility like automated teller
machines then other commercial bank in Pakistan as only eighteen branches in
all over country have this facility.
6. NBP has only forty-four on line branches. While from remaining branches
data gathering is time consuming, and not fool proof. Quantum of settlement
within different branches is pending because of this updating daily record is
becoming very difficult.
8. In NBP, most of the time merit not has importance in hiring of employees.
Such practices are black spot on the face of bank and resulted big losses and
fraudulent acts by NBP own employees.
OPPORTUNITIES
1. The world today has become a global village because of advancement in
technologies, especially in communication sector. More emphasis is now
given to avail the modern technologies to better the performances. NBP can
utilize the electronic banking opportunity to ensure online banking 24 hours a
day. This would give the competitive edge over others.
2. Because of the need of micro financing in the market, there are lot of
opportunities in this regard. Others banks have already initiated, now the time
has arrived when the NBP must realize it and take on step to cater an ongoing
demand.
105
THREATS
Following are the major threats which national bank of Pakistan is facing:
2. Retail banking and consumer banking resulting in the products such as credit
cards, housing finance and automobile finance lending to small individual
consumers, and purchases of automobiles, housing, and consumer goods are
generally made on a cash basis. These are causing another threat, if not
counter will result in significance loss of customers
4. Now banks are using technology which covers the distance no matter how far
away any one, through a satellite based, on-line real-time banking system and
by offering telephone banking, electronic funds transfer, E-Banking and other
modern facilities.
106
1. It appears a lengthy process of sanctioning advance.
7. It seems that there shall be a great the rush days for the customers as well as
for the staff members If the No of counter are limited or very few
8. It might not be possible for every borrower to repay the money in due time.
SUGGESTIONS
1. NBP major fault is that wasn’t keeping its pace with on going changing in
banking industry unlike other bank. Now this bank combining all it power and
trying to approach other banks.
2. Latest reorganizing efforts are necessary to make it cost effective also making
its facility accordingly to modern banking. These must continue.
3. Bank management has to put its all effort to change the prevailing culture of
the bank and to put the foundation stone of business oriented culture. In which
employees give important to the bank and its customer.
107
4. To attract the customer in the future NBP have to make extensive effort to give
facilities of retail and consumer banking. Plus the technology in the banking
which will be necessary for future banking is another week area need to be
stressed.
5. The outlook and interior lay out of the branches is another thing which needs
to be improved.
6. The procedure of taking services from the bank must be made easier and
straight forward not involving long difficult procedure for simple task.
To remain in the market bank need to be vigilant in the eyes of customer. One way is
through promotion efforts, so that people aware about he services of the banking and
any addition which the bank as made in the portfolio of its services.
