3.15. SWOT Analysis

3.15.1. Strengths

Western union facility:

National Bank of Pakistan is only one bank which has the facility of Western union. In
this particular scheme money is transfer in Pakistan from abroad. This is the fastest way
to money transfer. You can receive the money from bank to see the name and password
of particular client.

ATM finder:
There is also strength of NBP that they are found the ATM. They now provide this
facility to the customers.

Government’s bank:

In commercial banking system NBP is only the government bank. They make their
policies according to the government’s rules and regulations. It enjoys its position in the
market of banking system in Pakistan. Government of Pakistan also facilitating the
National Bank of Pakistan.

Customer satisfaction:

Because of government’s bank, it is enjoying the customer’s satisfaction. Customers feels

secure their money in NBP.

Online banking:

There is also strength of NBP that 130 branches are online. It helps the speedy services
giving to the customers. There is also help in checking the balances and daily transactions
just at one key press.

Employee’s loyalty:

Employees are very much loyal to NBP. Employee’s turnover is very low in NBP. Very
few employees are leaving the jobs in NBP. So it is very big strength that your employees
are loyal to your organization.

Wide area of services:

They provide the wide area of services. They offer no. Of services relating to the banking
system like, pension to retired government employees, traffic challans, fees received of
AIOU, farms of AIOU, utilities bills, deposits, sales tax , withholding tax, property tax,
and various loan schemes.

3.15.2. Weakness

Lack of communication between employees:

During the internship in NBP I found the problem of lack of communication between the
employees and management. They have not very much understanding with each other
and not share the work of each other.

Punishment is not very strong for employees:

Punishment threat is not very strong for employees. Some employees are not very
professional in their field but top management not takes the action against such
employees.

Public dealing is not very effective:

Public respect is not very effective in NBP. Employees are not taking care of the
customers, especially in pension and bills department.

Staff shortage:

There is also weak point for NBP that staff is very short and more staff is required to
meet the needs of the branch work. They help from internees.

Lack of respect of seniors:

They are not a healthy sign for NBP that respect of seniors is not up to the manners.

Juniors try to avoid the seniors and no take the help from them.

3.15.3. Opportunities

Growing banking system:

Nowadays banking system is growing quickly so NBP have opportunities to improve the
standard and get the more share in the market.

NBP have government back:

In growing era there is a chance for NBP to improve itself and increase the shares in the
market because it is most trustable due to government’s bank.

Increase in economic activities:

The economic activities are increase nowadays, so banks are contributes more in
economic activities. Banks are played role in trade and commerce. So the business of
commercial banks is increase.

3.15.4. Threats

Increase in no. of banks:

Increase in no. of banks is a threat for National Bank of Pakistan. No. of private banks
(commercial and private) are operating their business and provide the same facilities. So
increase in no. of banks is a threat for NBP.
 Modern type of banking:

Modern and computerized banking is required to fulfill the customer’s need. So

maximum branches of NBP are worked in old traditional ways.

Highly skilled people and management required to meet the new

standard of banking. In NBP some employees are totally irresponsible and
lack of complete knowledge of banking system. So these employees are
creating continuous problems in the system of NBP.

The whole structure change to online :

NBP have wide network of branches. Only 130 branches are online, so it is very difficult
and time consumed to convert all branches to online system. So there is also risk involves
that if one commuter of one branch suffers in problem, all system and all commuters of
all branches must be turnoff.

4. Performance Analysis
4.1. Financial Performance

In 2002, NBP increased its pre-tax profit to Rs. 6,045 million from Rs. 3,016 million in
2001, an increase of over 100%. The improved profitability was achieved due to a
combination of higher interest revenue, enhanced fee income and run off of the
amortization of the 1997 Golden Handshake Scheme. Prudent addition to loan loss
reserves was made which continues to improve the cash coverage for non-performing
loans.
All key financial and operating ratios demonstrated improvement. Cost/ income ratio was
0.44 (excluding one off provision of Rs. 832 million for benevolent fund and Rs. 513
million for charge for special separation package) as against 0.52 of the last year. Pre-tax
return on equity was 45.27% as compared to 25.85% of the current year and is impressive
by any yardstick. Pre-tax return on assets improved to 1.43% as against 0.77% of last
year. Capital adequacy ratio of the bank is 14.5%, which is 38% higher as compared to
10.52% of last year.

Deposits of the bank increased by Rs. 12 billion. While there was increase in private
sector loans due to adjustment / repayment of loans by large public sector entities and
substantially lower commodity operations borrowings, advances decreased by Rs. 30
billion.

4.2. Industry analysis

Banking is one of the most sensitive businesses all over the world. Banks play
very important role in the economy of a country and Pakistan is no exemption.
Banks are custodian to the assets of the general masses. The banking sector plays
a significant role in a contemporary world of money and economy. It influences
and facilitates many different but integrated economic activities like resources
mobilization, poverty elimination, production and distribution of public finance. It
is purchase of car or building of a home banks are always they’re to serve you
better. It is play ground or any educational or healthy societal activities the money
of banks nurtures them. It is an industrial project or agricultural development of
the country the sponsor-ship of banks is very much involved. Banks play very
positive and important role in the overall economic development of the country.

Pakistan has a well-developed banking system, which consists of a wide variety of

institutions ranging from a central bank to commercial banks and to specialized agencies
to cater for special requirements of specific sectors. The country started without any
worthwhile banking network in 1947 but witnessed phenomenal growth in the first two
decades. By 1970, it had acquired a flourishing banking sector.

4.2.1. Comparative Study of Domestic Banking Industry

Nationalization of banks in the seventies was a major upset to domestic banking industry
of the country, which changed the whole complexion of the banking industry. With
irrational decision at the top all the commercial banks were made subservient to the
political leadership and the bureaucracy. Specialized banking institutions were already
working in the public sector. The new accountability paradigm changed the business
ethics in the banking industry, and with this change started the disaster. Nationalization
of banking industry was accompanied by violent changes in the external value of rupee.
The commercial banks thus lost their assets management equilibrium, initiative and
growth momentum. They ceased to be a business concern and became big bureaucracies.
This was accompanied by indiscreet loaning under political pressure. They suffered from
three terminal diseases: non-performing loans; higher intermediation cost; and loss of
initiative and entrepreneurship. The rise to Labor Unions and Officers Associations made
life tough and working conditions ugly to honest, dedicated and industrious workers in
the realms of domestic banking industry.

The era of nineties was the climax of privatization, deregulation and restructuring
in the domestic banking industry and financial institutions. The Muslim
Commercial Bank was the first bank to privatize. Followed by Allied Bank
limited, United Bank Limited and now the Habib Bank Limited have been
privatized. One thing good for that particular period was the recruitment of fresh
officers in the domestic banking industry through well-organized policies of
Banking Council. With the decay of Banking Council there was flood of
insincere, nonprofessional, incompetent candidates directly appointed/ recruited
in all the domestic banks of the country.

4.2.2. Public Sector Commercial Banks

National Bank of Pakistan NBP

First Women Bank Limited FWB
The Bank of Khyber KB
The Bank of Punjab BOP

The government of Pakistan permitted small private sector banks to operate, which
indulged in doubtful policies to promote business. The public sector banking, which
constituted the backbone, thus continued to suffer because of their approach, size and
carried over liabilities. Mehran Bank is the prime example of that kind of lax banking in
the country, which ultimately merged into National bank of Pakistan i.e. last resort of
domestic banking industry.

4.2.3. Local Private Banks

Askari Commercial Bank Limited

Bank Al-Falah Limited
Bank Al Habib Limited
Bolan Bank Limited
Faysal Bank Limited
Metropolitan Bank Limited
Platinum Commercial Bank Ltd
Prime Commercial Bank Limited
Saudi Pak Commercial Bank Ltd
PICIC Commercial Bank Limited
Soneri Bank Limited
Union Bank Limited
Muslim Commercial Bank Limited
Allied Bank of Pakistan
Union Bank Limited
Mashreq Bank

In the meanwhile, western banks started entering into the business. They, with the
support of ruling elite, concentrated on the big business, leaving the routine business to
the local banks. This reduced the profitability of the local banks.

4.2.4. Foreign Banks

ABN Amro Bank

Al Baraka Islamic Bank
American Express
The Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi
CITI Bank
Credit Agricole Indo Suez
 Deutsche Bank
Doha Bank
Emirates Bank
Habib Bank A. G. Zurich
Hong Kong Shangai Banking Corporation
IFIC
Mashreq Bank PJSC
Oman Bank
Rupali Bank
Standard Chartered Bank

4.2.5. Specialized Banks

Zari Tarqiati Bank Ltd.

Industrial Development Bank of Pakistan
Punjab Provincial Cooperative Bank
Limited

There are 17 listed banks in Pakistan 2004. Four banks are still not listed, which are
Habib Bank, United Bank, Allied Bank of Pakistan, Dawood Bank. Standard Chartered
Bank, Citibank, Deutsche Bank and ABN AMRO Bank are main foreign banks in the
country. These four banks continue to enjoy a significant share in the market, both in
terms of deposits and advances. All the foreign banks of the country are busy to invest
heavily in the field technology and e-commerce in order to overcome branch limitation.
All the foreign banks have been busy to introduce new products and idea to grab larger
proportion of the local markets. Foreign banks are carrying major proportion of local
business in credit cards, consumer finances and housing finance.

Many domestic banks have increased their general standards. Ours is the age of plastic
money. Internet-based services are constantly increasing the number of ATM machines,
either by installing their own machines or making arrangements with other networks. The
number of Debit Cards has also been increasing at an unprecedented rate.

All the domestic and foreign banks vigorously institutionalized consumer financing in the
country and earned handsome profits. The borrowing to private sector has also increased
which ultimately boasted the profitability of all the domestic banks of the country. In the
last 3 to 4 years many domestic banks have been suffering from surplus liquidity crisis
mainly due to low demand for credit and slowdown of manufacturing sector in the
country. Almost all the banks are now buy to invest in capital markets to increase their
exposure in equities. To stop that risky trend the State Bank of Pakistan issued the
instructions to follow the Prudential Regulations in letter and spirit and not invest in the
capital markets beyond the limits. The domestic bank’s lending under consumer finance
and housing finance has also been growing. The analysis of Annual Reports of banks
shows that their income from core banking activities has been growing. The other
positive point is that there are growing expectations for increase in interest rates.

The growth in advances has started matching growth in deposits. The quality of asset as
well liability products have been improving. The ratios of non-performing loans have
decreased. The SBP29 Scheme has benefited the banks as well as the borrowers to pay-
off their long-standing dues. Bank Alfalah is the first to opt for the listing policy of the
government and also offered its share to general public. Two of the state-owned banks,
Habib Bank and United Bank, have been privatized.

Allied Bank of Pakistan was privatized in early nineties. But due to many internal and
external reasons it continues to suffer. Some meaningful senior managerial changes
would be better at the earliest. Dawood Bank has recently emerged on the banking
scenario of Pakistan and it is good addition. The bank has come into existence as a result
of acquisition of Pakistan operations of a Sri Lankan bank by a local business group. It is
also not listed at the local stock exchanges. Meezan Bank is the first bank of the country,
which is carrying complete Islamic banking.

4.4. Marketing Analysis

4.4.1. Market Recognition

For the second consecutive year, NBP was recognized as the best bank in Pakistan by the
prestigious periodical, “The Banker" UK (a subsidiary of Financial Times Group).
Furthermore M/s JCR-VIS Credit Rating Company Limited maintained its rating of
AAA, while the standalone rating was raised by one notch to AA-, which is one of the
highest in the banking sector.

4.4.2. Future Outlook

The reduction in the interest rate environment will overall have a negative impact on the
financial sector's profitability in the short term. To meet these challenges we will focus
on building our loan portfolio, both on corporate and retail side. On the retail side focus
will be on additional fee business while maintaining stringent controls over cost. Longer
term we will be focusing on those sectors in the country, which have traditionally
received less attention from the financial sector, i.e. agriculture, small and medium
enterprises and of the entire range of retail products. Our key strength remains our
customer base of over 9 million and we are confident that we are positioned to capitalize
on the opportunities.

6.2. LEARNING AS A STUDENT INTERN:

There are following learning points for me in the bank.

6.2.1. Duties

In my first week in NBP, they assign me worked in pension department. Pension manager
Mr. Muhammad Iqbal trained me very nicely and I learned lot of things in this
department. They give the pension to retired Govt. employees. There are three type of
pensions given,

1= Provincial
2= Central

3= Defence

These are different according to their PPO numbers

For example:

Provincial PPO 123456

Central PPO 12345/pak

Defence PPO da/dg1/gh/4 etc.

I am full trained now in this particular job and I serve 1000 people in this week. How to
fill farm? How to enter in ledgers and balance account and what is file and book and all
other things relating to pension department.

In second week I perform following tasks relating to the banking system.

In second week I worked on opening of account. In this week I repeatedly performed this
activity.

In third week they assign me with operation manager Mr. Numan sagheer He handled the
activities relating to the branch; check all the work in the branch. He gave me official
computer. In this week I type and print so many letters for example;

• Statement of account

• Letter of tax verification

• Letter of issuance of clearing certificate

• 4 letters for cheques clearing

• Letters of relieved of transfer employees from this branch to another

branch

• Joining letters of new employee come from other branch through

transfer

• Exceptions reports of Mr. Saeed and so many other things.

I also print and type the data of advances department and foreign exchange departments.
Cheques clearing daily sheet is also made by me in this week and I am assisted by the
other officers. I also learn about the reserve of the branch and daily finances need by the
bank and also get some raw information about the opening new accounts.

In fourth week I assign the same task and learn some more complex and major operation
of Sir Numan Sagheer I learn about accounts in which the branch deal with the main and
other branches, these are as follows;

1. General Account

2. Suspense Account

3. Commission Account

4. Exchange Account

In general account the branch debt or credit the other branches of the NBP. Usually they
debit or credit the main branch which transfers the cheques on this. In suspense account
branch expenses are made and at the end of six months period inform and show the
balance to main branch. In commission account bank charges commission against its
services. In exchange account they also earn, so from last two accounts branch receives
earnings from main branch against its services.

Secondly in this week I also learn hoe to open an account in the branch, it is a procedure
and after it bank open an account.

On computer I type and print so many letters like,

Reconciliation letter

In this week I do same job again and print letters, reports, statements and daily clearing
statement of cheques. Also work with Mr. Shafique and from him I learn about opening
an account, payment order and demand draft. Payment order is made to send payment
with in city and draft is made for payment outside the city but inside the country.
S C is that when cheques are coming from outside city for cash and those cheques which
come from branches inside city are sent to clearing house, so I made the statement to
clearing house for clearing cheques.

In fifth week I performed following activities:

Monday

On this day I perform the duty on the seat of bills where following work is being done,

Opening an account

Issue new cheques books

Make a payment order

their account but most of them have non in this branch. Rent from those holders how
balances have has been deducted from their accounts through vouchers and to remaining
holders reminding letters have been sent. This is the end of Friday.

　
　

6.2.2. Problems faced by branch:

During my internship at this particular branch of national bank of Pakistan, there are
following problems I have found which are directly affect on efficiency and performance
of the bank. There problems are also called as an internal problems. So these are
discussing below.

1. Lack of communication among the employees:

During the period of my internship I found this problem as a biggest problem that, they
are not very effective in communication between themselves. They do not share the
experience with each other and do not care the other employee. If one employee has a
problem, then he asked to other, but he does not give clear solution to that problems.
They are shows the facial expressions against each other. Pension manager and other
employees are always tried to gain cash/performance award and use the references to get
it. They are talk against each other in front of me. So finally it is very needy for a public
services organization to keep atmosphere friendly among the management and
employees. National bank of Pakistan (Tech Society Branch) is lack in communication
skills among the employees.

2. Ineffective public dealing:

There is also a big issue that they think its government’s bank so it does not care
customers. It is a wrong perception. There must be a good public dealing in public
service organization. If one customer asked a question twice. They angry on him and stop
working. I personally experienced in pension department. The manager pension (Mr.
Iqbal) have no respect to the old pensioner and he used wrong wording against them
same is also happened in bills executive in bills (Mr. Shafique) is also angry on
Customers, when they asked question twice, so there should be solve this problem to
create a good environment of the NBP.

3. Lack of commitment:
Lack of commitment is also a bib problem faced by the national bank of Pakistan (wahdat
road branch). Employees are not committed to the work and their duties. This is very
common problem.

For example, Rao Ikhlaq not received the letters from last two months. ATM machine is
under Rao Ikhlaq but it is run by operation manager. Mr. Kamran not attached the scroll
at time. Mr. Qamar Zaman going on leave of 3 days but he does not come back even after
3 weeks. So internees are performed duties on his seat. So employees are not very
committed to their jobs and duties. Top management is also not very committed to this
branch. They are not provided employee after transfer of the Rao Ikhlaq. One executive
on leave while other transferred. But not a single executive provide to the branch finally
it is conclude that there is a lack of commitment from employees and top management
also from employees and Top management also.

4. Low Efficiency of employees:

Efficiency of employees is also low at this branch. For example Mr. Qamar Zaman Aulik
has 10 years experience at national bank of Pakistan but he is not professional even at
single seat in the bank. Where he assign the result is zero. During my internship firstly he
works in advances. He does not sent returns to head office at last dates. 95% of returns
are not sent to the regional head quarter. So he was not too much professional. After this
he assign in passing the cheques but results are same (zero). So for this efficiency is very
low at this branch.

5. Not very regular and punctual:

Regularity and punctuality shows the character of a big and good executive. But this
problem is also faced by the NBP (Wahdat road) many executive not come at time.

For example Mr. Saeed compliance officer came 10 A.M. While bank is started at 9AM.
So some other executives are also not coming at time. So there must be solved that
problem by the Top management.

In regional head quarter Mr. Munawir Shah is HRM assistant manager is also come at 10
Am.

6. lack of computing skills:

Computing skills are also low, some executive are very efficient in computing skills but
some are not totally aware from this system. For example ATM machine at this branch is
only handled to Mr. Imran operation manager. When operation manager is on leave due
to heart patient, ATM machine is off not worked because no body knows to run this
machine. Western Union is not worked effectively. The person who handled western
Union is careless and other employees are not taken interest in tat field. So there is
western Union for just name actually it does not worked.
 7. Misuse of resources:

Resource are very needy, so there must be avoid to misuse the resources but in this
branch it is reverse case, there is very wrong use of the resources, employees does not
take care of resources and not used them in right direction. For example wrong printing,
extra printing, after service time Mr. Hasnain at token used telephone almost one to two
hours to take personally outside the bank. So these are the real problems which are faced
by the bank.

Finally it is suggested that if these problems are solved there are much more chances for
increase the performance of NBP. Particularly this branch.

6.2.3. NEW KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED

During the internship there is practical knowledge acquired about the banking sector.
What activities are performed by banks and how to deal with public? Also commitment
about work and operations of banks. Financing and credits and other public services are
performed by the banks. What are implementations of banking rules in banking sector?
And much learn about the various executive’s experiences and their skills. What is role of
higher authority (manager) in decision making and how to solve the problems? How
much money or reserves are used to meet the requirements in the branch. What are the
duties of operation manager and how to pay cheques and all procedure relating to
opening account in the banks?

6.2.4. Problem encountered:

During my internship in this bank, the problem which I faced that was proper training.
