Development Phase
Nationalization Phase
Privatization Phase
Present Position of MCB
The then PML government also became conscious of the falling standard of the banking sector and
decided to privatize all the commercial banks. Banks (Nationalization) (Second Amendment) Ordinance
1991 was also promulgated to pave the way for privatization of banks in Pakistan.In the wake of above
amendments, 26% shares valuing Rs. 149.8 millions of the Muslim Commercial Bank, held by the State
Bank of Pakistan were sold and the Bank’s management was transferred to the purchasers of these 26%
shares. Mian Mohammad Mansha is the Chairman of the MCB and has played instrumental role in
its success.
In 2009, MCB delivered a superior return on equity of 27.4% and assets crossed the Rs. 500 Billion mark.
This performance is all the more remarkable keeping in view the economic & political challenges faced
by the country during this past year and miscreant created issues that MCB specifically grappled with for
a large part of the year. MCB fundamental belief is that a financial services company can only succeed if
it meets its customers’ needs. If they can understand customer’s financial objectives and offer them the
right products and services so that they can be financially successful, then MCB Bank will continue to
build on its leadership position and provide requisite returns to its shareholders. During 2009, MCB took
several initiatives that brought even closer to their customers. With the launch of MCB Privilege, MCB
became the first local bank to offer a dedicated proposition for the affluent segment; to meet the growth
and protection needs of customers, we introduced Bancassurance and Investment Products in many of our
branches; to enhance transactional convenience for customers, MCB became the first Pakistani bank to
launch mobile banking.These coupled with several other initiatives enabled us to continue on the path of
growing customer base and profitability. Last year, to expand and reach customer proposition, MCB also
reached an agreement with RBS Pakistan to acquire their business. Unfortunately, the deal did not go
through but bank continue to invest organically to further strengthen businesses.

Pakistan's economic reform movement and was later privatized to Nishat Group lead consortium in 1991.

The efficiency of banks can be measured through the use of the return-on-equity (ROE) ratio,

decreasing consecutively from last three years.

reversal rose by 7.8% to Rs. 14.9B from Rs. 13.8B in 2008. Due to rising inflationary pressures
coupled with additional expenditure on insurance and security companies, the administrative
expenses rose by only 8.4% to Rs. 14B in 2009.
Borrowing from other financial institutions increasing from 22,664 to 44,662 in 2009.
Cash dividend per share decreased from 11.50 (2008) to 11.00 (2009).
4. CONCLUSION
The banking system, as a whole, remains healthy despite the economy going through a period of
economic difficulty. The banking sector absorbed the build-up of non-performing loans in the system
while maintaining profitability and robust balance sheets. Much of the
credit for this must go to the SBP for the policies it has pursued over the last decade to ensure that banks
are adequately capitalized and adhere to prudent risk management. The objectives were targeted towards
customers, improved management policies, strong policy framework, improved governance structure,
strategic investment initiatives and
implementation of cost effective measure across bank. The group structure of the bank individually
worked hard in achieving the milestones under continuous monitoring and supervision of the senior
management and Board. The bank displayed extraordinary results in both financial and non-financial
terms. With the banking industry recovering at a steady pace since the 2007 crisis, MCB ensured availing
all possible positive opportunities and delivered substantial profits ensuring sound asset growth
Financial year 2009 MCB stood up to the challenges and produced significant increases in major areas of
its business while maintaining higher profitability, stronger asset base with corresponding increase in
equity. The sector also made positive recoveries while heading
towards its actual position prior to 2007 and 2008 financial market crisis.MCB registered continuous
positive performance, by delivering PBT of Rs. 23B and PAT of Rs. 15B, with a rise of 6% and 1%
respectively, over 2008. Interest Income increased by
29% to Rs. 52B over Rs. 40B in 2008 owing to increased volume and yields. Income earned on advances,
representing 70% of the total Interest Income, increased by 21% over Rs. 30B in 2008, to Rs. 36B in
2009. Interest Expense however, also simultaneously increased by
37%, owing mainly to the increased cost of deposits with interest expensed on deposits rising by 47% to
Rs. 14B in 2009. Despite this, due to larger proportion of Interest Income, the resultant Net Interest
Margin (NIM) of Rs. 36B significantly rose by Rs. 7B, 26% rise
over Rs. 28B last year The Bank's outstanding performance resulted in improved efficiency and
profitability ratios,stable market share, and attractive share price at the close of the year 2009 combined
with a
high Break-up Value (before surplus) of 88.37 per share.
Consequent to the average increase in balance sheet footing and equity of 12% and 16% respectively,
return on assets and return on equity were reported at 3.25% and 27.35% respectively.
5. RECOMMENDATIONS
Following are some of the suggestions and recommendations that I want to give on the basis of shortfalls
/ weaknesses found in the bank.
The target rate of return on assets (ROA) of commercial banks reflects the effectiveness and efficiency
of the use of resources is the embodiment of its operating efficiency and management level of the
important comprehensive index. Emphasis on return on assets, and continuously improve the return on
assets and achieve an operating profit maximization should be the primary objective of Muslim
commercial bank.
A strong ROE is a solid signal that management is doing a good job of generating returns for
shareholders' investments. Active capital management activities will provide better ROEs. Bank that
manages larger reserves due to recent or future investment projects will stymie their ROEs. Another
determinant of the ROE is the operating profit margin of banks. Recently, this tends to converge towards
noninterest
income as net interest margins tend to cause net interest income to be
squeezed over time due to rising competition. Muslim Commercial Bank should enable to raise their
operating profit margins can smoothly enhance their ROEs.Loans with higher returns will produce better
profit opportunities. Alternatively, may diversify earnings through transaction and recurring non-interest
income activities. MCB’s can expand more differentiated products, such as wealth management and
insurance to improve their ROE position.
Profit before tax ratio 55.91% in 2009 which is 7% lower than in that of last year mainly on account of
higher administration cost and provision charge so MCB should control its interest expenses.
The Bank's controlled budgeting and diligent monitoring on operating expenditure block. Effective
monitoring at management level ensured managed increase in administrative charge within the approved
budgetary limits.
Borrowing from other financial institutions increasing from 22,664 in 2008 to 44,662
in 2009 and deposits decreasing the bank should develop strategy, employs the
policy and emphasized to increase deposits reserves that enable to reduce borrowings.
MCB’s lead over rivals if they more emphasis on its aggressive investment strategy and capital
strength, the investments may bolster MCB’s.
MCB Bank Ltd Pakistan’s largest lender by market value should plans to expand overseas and add
branches and employees at home even as economic growth slows after the worst floods in the nation’s
history. Increase staff as it expands tradefinancing, remittances management and mobile-banking
operations.
Better managed expense-to-income ratios will then produce higher operating profit margins. Banks
that use capital more efficiently will have better financial leverage and thus, higher ROEs. A higher
financial leverage multiplier would show that banks are able to leverage on a smaller base of stakeholders
funds to produce interest bearing assets that optimize earnings.
Efficient cost-control procedures may limit the growth of operating expenses leading to higher
operating profit margin. Banks poorly managed their operating expenses.
