Interpretation:
The ratio is used to give idea of the company's ability to pay back its short-term liabilities with its short-term assets. The higher the current ratio, the more capable the company is of paying its obligations, therefore, the bank in year 2009 is in a very good position to pay its obligations as they come due. In 2006 and 2007 the

firm had a low ratio so may be due to short term financing a great improvement can be seen from 2008 to 2009.

Internship Report
The RHQ inspection officers check the branches once in a month so the employees are always vigilant.
Weaknesses
Employees are not satisfied because the pays of employees are less and there is no clear criterion for promotion. Lack of job security due to the pressure on employees to bring more and more customers to the bank. There are old employees having lack of information technology and cannot use latest banking software effectively. Lack of professionalism. Employees at branch level are not properly motivated to work by heart. They take the all routine activities as a boring job. During salary days too much customers gather in the branch but there is no proper place where they can sit and wait therefore the bank should be spacious. Some employees are given the job on personal relation with some senior employee which is not justifiable for the other people applying for the same job.

According to my financial analysis of Return on assets there has been a remarkable change in the year 2006 in comparison with 2005, but in the year 2007 a sudden fall in the graph can be seen it means that the firm has not utilized its assets properly therefore the assets value is greater against the total income. From 2008 to 2009 the graph is again upwards and there is an improvement in the utilization of assets. Then coming on the financial analysis of the current ratio, the ratio is used to give idea of the company's ability to pay back its short-term liabilities with its short-term assets. The higher the current ratio, the more capable the company is of paying its obligations, therefore, the bank in year 2009 is in a very good position to pay its obligations as they come due. In 2006 and 2007 the firm had a low ratio so may be due to short term financing a great improvement can be seen from 2008 to 2009. Net profit Margin is an indication of how effective a company is at cost control. In other words, net profit margin refers to that which is left for the owners from a dollar of sales after all expenses have been paid. From year 2005 to 2008 there has been a decline but in the year 2009 the value increases again. The management has been effective in reduces its expenses in the year 2009 in comparison with other years. The ratio measures how the company is leveraging its debt against the capital employed by its owners. If the liabilities exceed the net worth then in that case the creditors have more stake than the shareowners. Debt-equity ratio, if higher, is thought to be risky because the firm has more liability. There is a fluctuation in the values. There is a downward trend in 2006 and then 2006 onwards there is an upward trend in 2008 and again a downward trend in 2009. So debt ratio is fluctuating every year in comparison with the equity. It measures the efficiency of the investments. Return on investment is

about how a firm uses its capital to generate profits. The year 2006 has the highest peak which shows that the bank generated remarkable returns from its investments whereas 2007 is a downfall and the graph becomes upward gradually in the next two years. As 2007 is seen to be a depressing year for the bank, it seems that the management made serious good decisions in diversified businesses. Return on deposit ratio shows the profits in comparison with the deposits. There is a peak in the year 2006 which shows a good return on deposits. As we can see from the above calculations that the trend of the ratio is decreasing from next year onwards in 2007 and 2008 while there in 2009 we can see that HBL has again started gaining profits and the ratio is 0.196%. Investments to total assets show a fluctuation. Again in the year 2007 there is the highest peak which means that the bank did excellent investments in this year. 2005 and 2006 are at the same investment level but in the year 2008 the investment declined to a great extent and an upward movement of investments in comparison with assets in the year 2009. Deposits to total liabilities is showing good position in 2005 which means that bank is maintaining numerous deposits. But from 2005 to 2007 there is much decreasing trend which means that there is a reduction in deposits as compared to liabilities. From 2008 to 2009 it is increasing due opening of new branches and introducing new & different schemes that benefit the customer. The deposits are increasing which shows the good performance of bank. Equity to asset ratio shows the relationship between the equity and the total assets. It shows the capital adequacy of any organization. It is showing an increasing trend from 2004 to 2006 which means that shareholders equity is increasing.
Internship Report
In 2007 it is showing decreasing trend means shareholders equity is decreasing as compared to assets. But again in 2008 it is increasing means increase in shareholders equity which is showing good position of company. Advances of the bank as compared to the deposits, there is an increasing trend in from 2005 to 2006 which shows that bank has increased its advances which is a good sign for bank. In 2007 this ratio is decreasing because advances are decreasing and deposits are increasing. In 2008 it is again increasing means the bank is giving more advances. This shows that advances are increasing than deposits which are good for bank. In 2009 it decreases again. Return on Equity ratio tells how much profit a company earns with the money shareholders have invested. The higher the ratio percentage, the more efficient management is in utilizing its equity base and the better return is to investors. In 2005 and 2006 there is a great extent of profits generated for the shareholders. From 2007 to 2009 there is a fluctuation. At first in the year 2007 the ROE percentage is 15.94% in 2008 it is 16.384% and in 2009 the ROE is again showing a downward trend. Operating profit margin tells how effective a company is at controlling the costs and expenses linked with the normal business operations. The higher the ratio, the better a company is. There is a fluctuation in the percentage values. 2006 has the highest peak which means that the company has lower fixed cost and a better or increasing sales faster than costs. 2006 year onwards there is a decreasing trend and again in the year 2009 the percentage has improved. So, according to me overall performance of HBL is seen to be good in the years 2006 and 2009. While, there are also some ratios that are seen to be giving good
Internship Report
values in the year 2007 and 2008. So the values of ratio calculations fluctuate in every year. In SWOT analysis I concluded that HBL is the oldest Bank established in 1947 having 62 years of experiences. HBL has largest net-work mode and customer base in Pakistan with 1469 branches in Pakistan. It has now 680 online branches in Pakistan. HBL has a qualified and excellent management. It has strong recognition in domestic and foreign market. It advertises through billboards and other media. It has a good security system. The RHQ inspection officers check the branches once in a month so the employees are always vigilant. But its Employees are not satisfied because the pays of employees are less and there is no clear criterion for promotion. Also there is shortage of trained and specialized staff. There are old employees having lack of information technology and cannot use latest banking software. There is no specialist person who can train employees in IT. These things are showing weakness. HBL has also opportunities i.e. due to privatization management can make its own decision for the benefit of firm. Products and services can be enhanced for customers .By increasing technical and professional staff, progress of firm can be increased. There are also threats to HBL. Different Schemes launched by other banks have increased competition for HBL. Products and services introduced by HBL in the past have been copied and followed by other commercial banks. Employees are leaving because of low salaries and no promotions. As there are low barriers to entry competition is increasing not domestically but also

globally. For the last of 2 to 3 years, Pakistan is facing economic and political instability which is a big threat.
In the end my recommendation for the bank is that HBL should increase its deposits and advances and attract more and more customers by winning their confidence. Staff should be provided with professional training in marketing, selling, and finance in order to sharpen their abilities and developing skills. Bank should emphasize on hiring of business graduates and computer experts who can use latest banking software. Proper salaries & incentives should be given to the employees so that they are motivated. Proper training programs should be started for new as well as old employees. The website contains insufficient information, needs improvement. Operating expenses of the bank should be brought down to increase profitability. Interior of the bank must be changed. HBL needs to focus on spacious branches to prevent customers from botheration in salary days. Some branches are still batch and so they should also be switched to online ones. Working for a bank is a good experience specially from the point of view of learning something and to have broad understanding of practical work. I spent almost 6 to 7 weeks in the bank and came to know about HBL as an institution very closely, The Islamia University of Bahawalpur
