The Word--“Bank”

There are various view points about the origin of the word ‘Bank’.
Some of them are:

♦ The word bank is said to be derived from the Italian word

“BANCO”—meaning a bench. The early bankers, the JEWS in


Lomberdy used to transact their business on benches in market
place. The original meaning of the “Bank” as a commercial
institution is identical with the bank of a ditch where the contents
are piled up.

♦ The word bank is said to be derived from the German word,

‘Banc’, which means a joint stock firm.

Evolution of Banking

The history of banking is traced to as early as 2000.B.C. The priests in


Greece used to keep money and valuables of the people in temples. These
priests thus acted as financial agents. The origin of banking is also traced to
early goldsmith. They used to keep strong safes for storing the money and
valuables of the people. The persons who had surplus money found it safe
and convenient of deposit their valuables with them. The first stage in the
development of modern banking, thus, was the accepting of deposit of cash
from those persons who had surplus money with them.

The goldsmiths used to issue receipts for the money deposited with
them, these receipts began to pass from hand to hand in settlement of
transactions because people had confident in the integrity and solvency of
goldsmiths. When it was found that these receipts were fully accepted in
payment of debts; then the receipts were drawn in such a way that it entitled
any holder to claim the specified amount of money from goldsmiths. A
depositor who is to make the payments may now get the money in cash from
goldsmiths. Or pay over the receipt to the creditor. These rece8pts were the
earlier bank notes. The second stage in the development of bnka9in thus was
the issue of bank notes.

The goldsmiths soon discovered that all the people who had deposited
money with them do not come to withdraw their funds in cash. They found
that only a few persons presented the receipts for encashment during a given
period of time. They also found that most of the money deposited with them
was lying idle. At the same time; they found that they were being constantly
requested for loan on good security. They thought it profitable to lend at
least some of the money deposited with them to the needy persons. This
proved quite a profitable business for the goldsmiths. They instead of
charging safe keeping charges form the depositors began to give them
interest on them money deposited with them. This was the third stage in the
development of banking.

Central Bank
Every civilized country, now, has its own central bank, because all the
banking structure of the country revolves around it. Its main function is to
manage the monetary system of the country internally as well as externally.
It also acts as the banker’s bank. It is closely associated with the money
market and banking system in the country. It is not a profit making concern.

Ø State Bank of Pakistan

State bank of Pakistan is acting as the central bank of Pakistan. At the


time of independence, the immediate and foremost task of the Government
of Pakistan was to establish a Central Bank. Because at the time of partition,
it was decided with India that the “Reserve Bank of India” would continue to
act as the Central Bank and currency authority, under “Monetary System and
Reserve Bank Order 1947”, till the establishment of its own Central bank.

The General Governor of Pakistan late Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali


Jinnah soonly realized that the Reserve Bank of India could not be relied
upon and further dependence, so he issued the order on 1st of July 1948 for
the establishment of own Central Bank. This order of 1948 has been
substituted by the State Bank of Pakistan Act, 1956.

Commercial Banking in PAKISTAN


The historical background of Banking & Financial sector in which
great improvement and growth is observed since the formation of Pakistan.
For studying the growth of this sector, we can divide it into three stages,
whish are s follows;
A. Pre-Nationalization Era.
B. Nationalization Era.
C. Post Nationalization Era.

A. PRE NATIONALIZATION PERIOD:

There were only two Muslim books in Indo Pak before partition, they
were:
Habib Bank Ltd.(estd, in 1941 at Bombay) & Australia Bank
Ltd.(estd in 1944 at Lahore). All other banks, at that time, were either owned
by Hindus or Foreigners.
At the time of partition there were 631 bank branches in area which
came under Pakistani control. But due to blood shed and violence at large
scale, mostly branches were closed and the disparity can be assessed from
the fact that on July 1948 there were 195 branches with deposits of Rs. 88
crore (880 million) only. Also a factor lagging in Pakistani industry was a
central bank of its own, by that time Reserve Bank of India was acting as
central bank for both countries and same currency notes were used in both
countries. But Reserve Bank of India was biased and set down Pakistan on
many occasions such as the issue of funds transfer etc, etc.
In this period drastic steps were taken in government sector for the
improvement of overall position. The private sector also responded to those
changes and some very positive changes were observed. Some of the steps
taken by the government in this regard were as under:

Ø Inauguration of State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) on 1st July


1948.
Ø Setting up of National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) in
November, 1949 to control the ‘Jute’ export in East Pakistan
and to act as agent of SBP.

Ø Larger powers were given to SBP through SPB Act 1956 for
controlling purposes.
Ø Banking Companies Ordinance 1962 for protection and
guidance to banks.
Ø Establishment of specialized banks, such as: -
v ADBP (1952);
v HBFC (Nov, 1952);
v PICIC (Oct, 1957);
v IDBP (Aug, 1961);
v NDFC (Jan, 1973).
These were the steps, which built a from the facts that by 1973 there
were almost 10 foreign banks were working in Pakistan and all over strong
banking sector in Pakistan. This is also obvious deposit was around Rs.2300
crore (Rs. 23,000 million). A bird eye view of 5 top banks was as given
below:

B. NATIONALIZATION PERIOD:
On January 01, 1974 all Pakistani banks were nationalized through
Nationalization Act 1974. Under this law all Pakistani banks became a
public property. All small banks were merged in bigger banks to create
5major Pakistani banks. These banks were to control by Pakistan Banking
Council. There are still controversies about this act of government as
whether it contributed in success of failure of banks. However the major
changes after nationalization were as follows:
Ø Working of banks was extended to under developed areas.
Ø Market expansion for credit and deposits.
Ø Decrease in service level of bank officers.
Ø Decrease in profitability as well.
However the effect of expansion was enormous and it can also be
depicted with the help of table 2 which shows the deposit & branch positions
of different nationalized banks.

C. POST NATIONALIZATION PERIOD:


In 1990 the government decided to denationalize all the nationalized
institutes. Some was also suggested in banking sector. For this purpose,
amendments were privatized. Along with this a permission to open banks in
private sector was also granted. The rules regarding establishment of new
banks and for incoming foreign banks were also revealed.
The three privatized banks are: -
a) MCB taken up by a private group in April, 1991.
b) ABL up by its own employees in September, 1991.
c) UBL taken up by U A E party in 2002.

After theses changes a large number of private and forign banks


started their operations in Pakistan and the present status can be seen from
the following figures:

SCHEDULE BANKS
Category No.of Banks.
Nationalized Commercial Banks 3
Private/ Privatized Commerce Banks 18
Public Sector Speicalized Banks 4
Foreign Banks 19
Total Scheduled Banks 44
In addition to above mentioned scheduled banks there are 7 Development
Financial Institutes, `14 Investment Banks and Modarbah Companies.

WHERE DID I INTERNSHIP:

I joined Soneri Bank Limited (Defence Branch (0011)) to get my


internship experience of two months, which falls under the category of
Private BANKS in PAKISTAN.

While it is felt in certain quarters that the operations of the private


banks tend to inhibit the development of the Pakistan, other fell that
private banks must be allowed to play their valuable role by setting up
sound traditions which can help the national banking system to develop
on the healthy lines. A rather important feature of private bank
financing is the predominance of exports, and stock exchange securities
financing in their operations. In the past few decades, the financing of
the private banks in these agriculture, manufacturing, commerce, and
construction has been so far increasing.
