Techniques in order to minimize the Credit Risk in MCB Bank

FINANCIAL ANALYSIS:In order to minimize credit risk,

financial analysis is carried out to assess risk, repayment
capacity, liquidity, leverage and debt to equity ratio
Financial Statements i.e; Balance Sheet, Income Statement,
Cash Flow statement are the basis tools which are used to
carry out financial analysis.
Current Ratio which shows liquidity position of a certain
business.
Acid test ratio is used to ascertain the ultimate liquidity
position of the business
 REPAYMENT CAPACITY:
Timely payment of markup on
quarterly basis and completion of other formalities of Bank
shows repayment capacity.
 FINANCIAL BACKGROUND
: Financial background of a particular borrower helps in making credit decision in
sanction credit. Credit Reports of the borrower can be obtian from
other banks, CIB Report, Search Report etc.
MARKET REPUTATION AND GOODWILL:
Repayment behavior can also be assessed by market reputation and
goodwill of a particular borrower. Financial Statements, CIB
Report also shows borrower's behavior towards debt
servicing behavior. For this purpose MCB using tools like CIB
(Credit information Bureau) Report, Search Report from ICIL.
PRIMARY SECURITY:
MCB secure lending by means
of primary security i.e; hypothecation, pledge, lien etc.
SECONDARY SECURITY: MCB secure its financing by
way of secondary security in shape of Mortgate i.e;
Registered Mortgage, token mortgage and Equitable

S.W.O.T Analysis
Strength
 As when Bank Takes Primary and Secondary Security from the Customer to
Which the loan is offered then the Bank Loan Get Saved. If the Customer Fails to
Return the Loan the Bank can Recover its Amount by Selling the Securities such as
Mortgage etc.
Weakness.
 The Weak Point is that if Customer is Fraudulentor Get disappears some where
then the bank be not be able to recover its amount.
 Or If the documents given to Bank are not Legal then bank have to afford the
Loss.
 Or when Customer gets insolvent and its Property which is pledged by Bank is
not sufficient to recover all the debts then the Bank have loss.
Opportunities.
 As we know that the Business is the name
of Risk, if they want to survive in the World
of Business then they have to take Risks,
by taking and facing these Risks the
Business can gets valuable Customers.
The Business can get many opportunities
to expand its business.

Threats.
 There are also many kind of Threat which prevails in
MCB in the Sanction of Loan.
 1. The Threat of Fraud by Customer.
 2. The Threat of Customers Insolvency.
 3. The Threat of Centralizing or Decentralizing of Banks
by Government.
 4. The Threat of Illegal Documentation.
 5. The Threat of deficiency in the Pledged property.
 5. The Threat of Credit Loss.
 6. The Threat of Fraud by Employees
Conclusion.
 According to all above discussion, All techniques
discussed are sufficient to minimize the credit risk but still there are some weak
points such as if customer is fraud or if his purpose is to do fraud then may be the
bank will not be able to recover its amount
 Or if any Authority of the bank involves in fraud then the
bank may faces loss.
Recomendations.
 The Recommendation is that If MCB want to

minimize the Credit Risk at extreme level then they should follow all the Steps
Discussed above(Financial Analysis, Repayment Capacity Securities Etc), they
should hire Honest, talented and Competent People, They should never Trust
Unknown Person who applies for the loan, firstthey should full fill all the
requirements which has been discussed before the sanction of loan.
