Overview of the Organization

History

The branches of Habib Bank in Pakistan

HBL Plaza in Karachi

Mohammed Ali Jinnah, Pakistan's founding father, realized the importance of financial

intermediation while he was campaigning for the creation of a separate homeland for the

Muslims of India. He persuaded the Habib family to establish a commercial bank that

could serve the Indian Muslim community. His initiative resulted in the creation of Habib

Bank in 1941, with HO in Bombay (now Mumbai), and fixed capital of 25,000 rupees.

The bank played an important role in mobilizing funds from the Muslim community to

finance the All-India Muslim League's campaign for the establishment of Pakistan. Habib

Bank also played an important role in channeling relief funds to the people hurt in the

communal riots and violence that preceded the departure of the British from India.

Page 13: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

After Pakistan was born in 1947, Habib Bank, at the urging of Governor-General Jinnah,

moved its headquarters to Karachi, Pakistan's first capital. This gave Karachi its first

Economic Development (AKFED), a subsidiary of the Aga Khan

Development Network, rights to 51% of the shareholding in HBL, against

an investment of PKR 22.409 billion (USD 389 million).

HBL's UK operation came close to being shut down due to regulatory

issues with the Financial Services Authority. The issue was resolved by

converting the operations to a subsidiary. Then Habib Bank Limited and

Allied Bank of Pakistan merged their operations (Habib contributed its 6

branches and Allied its 4), into a new bank, called Habib-Allied

International Bank, in which Habib Bank has a 90.5 percent shareholding,

Nature of the organization

Accepting Deposits

The primary function of HBL is to accept and receive surplus money from the people,

which they willingly deposit with the Bank. Like all other Banks, HBL also take

incitation to attract as much depositor’s as it can. They offer different deposit

schemes to its customers, which includes the following types. These schemes as

follow.

Current Deposits

This type of account is often maintained by the business

Current deposits are those deposits on which Bank offers no interest but it allows the

account holders to withdraw their money at any time they want without giving any

prior notice to the community, which requires large sums of money very often for

their business transaction.

Profit and loss sharing account (Saving)

Saving deposits or PLS is those accounts on which Bank offers a lower rate of

interest. After the Islamization of the Banking system in the country it has been given

the name of PLS saving account. The Bank undertakes to repay deposits on demand

up to a certain amount.

Virtual University of Pakistan 18

Page 19: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

Fixed deposits

Fixed deposits are those which can be withdrawn only after the maturity period. In this

type of deposits the Bank allows high rates of interest depending on the time period of

deposits. The shorter the period of deposits, the less will be the interest and vice versa.

Making Loans and advances

The second most important function of HBL is to provide financing facility to its

customers. These loans and advances are usually made against document of title to

goods, marketable securities, and personal securities. HBL charges different interest rates

on these loans and advances depending on the terms and conditions settled with the

customers. Following types of loans and advances are made available to the customers.

Demand Finances

Demand finances are those finances which are given to the borrowers for specified period

and can be called back without any prior notice. It is a single transaction finance. It can

be long term, medium term and short term. Mark up is also charge. Here the amount can

be withdrawn once at the time of disbursement.

Running Finance

HBL provides these finances against the security of current assets like shares, bond, cash

crops like cotton and other cashable commodities. The borrower’s account is opened with

the Bank with the amount of the total loan provided or allowed to the borrower. The

borrower is allowed to withdraw any amount from his account within the specified limit

and interest is charged only on the amount actually withdrawn.

Virtual University of Pakistan 19

Page 20: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

Over Draft

This type of facility is usually given to very loyal clients. This allows them to withdraw

over and above the amount held by them in their account, and interest is charged only on

the amount, which is withdrawn in excess of the amount actually held in their account.

Discounting bills of exchange

Discounting bills of exchange can also be considered as a form of loan because it allows

the holder to get the bill encased before the maturity period. A bill of exchange is usually

issued by the importer of goods to the exporters, which allows them to be paid in their

own currency after three months time. If the exporter needs the money before the

maturity of the bill of exchange, he can get his money from the Bank by discounting the

bill of exchange. The Bank utilizes their surplus funds by discounting the bills of

exchange at their market worth i.e. Bank pay to the holders of the bill on amount equal to

their face value after deducting interest at the current rate for the maturity period of the

bill. Our stated objective of being a premier emerging market bank.

Business volume

Habib Bank Limited (HBL), Pakistan’s biggest IPO of Rs 12 bn in terms of value,

will be formally listed today at the Karachi Stock Exchange (KSE). This listing would

Virtual University of Pakistan 20

Page 21: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

further add Rs 162 bn to the banking sector market capitalization of nearly Rs 3,700

bn if we simply take the offer price of Rs 235/share as a proxy. Pakistan’s banking

sector has already got the biggest share of 29% in the market capitalization of KSE

and with this listing it will increase up to 33%.

We have signaled our positive outlook for the bank in our detailed ‘Pakistan’s

banking jewel’ IPO report on HBL mainly due to 1) our forecasted CY07 ROE of

27% which is also in line with high performing peer banks viz. MCB Bank & United

Bank (UBL) 2) satiating 10% yield on earning assets 3) presence of more than 80%

low cost deposits and mere 4.2% weighted average cost on remunerative deposits 4)

greater market share of fee-based income of 16% vis-à-vis peer banks 5) management

thrust on retail banking 6) strong brand equity. On the flipside, recent draft circular by

State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) regarding withdrawal of forced sale value (FSV)

facility on illiquid securities in taking provision coverage against non-performing

loans (NPLs) is a blow to HBL. HBL has relatively low provision coverage against

historical NPLs and we expect the bank to make more provisioning to the tune of Rs

5.2 bn that could impair our CY07 EPS forecast of Rs 26.85/share.

However Habib Bank feels that its major competitors are as follows:

Virtual University of Pakistan 37

Page 38: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

United Bank Limited (UBL)

MCB Bank

Citibank

Askari Bank

As far as UBL is concerned, Habib Bank feels that it is a competitor because UBL itself

is a sister HBL of Habib Bank as the Abu Dhabi Group has stake in UBL and so there is

always a comparison between them.

Furthermore, Askari Bank is a competitor because of the fact that the product and

services that it offers is fairly similar to that of Habib Bank and its markup rates are

similar as well. MCB, after being privatized has also introduced a wide variety of

services and with its large number of account holders, it is also a big competitor.

Citibank is a foreign bank that has been established in Pakistan for a long period of time

and has introduced a number of first class services and as Habib Bank is also competing

in the services industry, it needs to benchmark its product and services to a bank with a

stature to that of Citibank

Their Goals and Strategies

United Bank Limited

UBL was established in 1959, to provide banking facilities to the nation, after its

nationalization in 1971, the bank became an inefficient enterprise, however after its

privatization in 2000; the whole face of UBL has been changed.

Today UBL stands on a solid network of more than 1000 branches nationwide and 15

overseas branches and with an experience of 46 years its main goal is to become the

leading bank of Pakistan.

To achieve its goal, UBL has introduced innovative products in the banking sector to

facilitate the general public. It was one of the very first banks to introduce internet and

Virtual University of Pakistan 38

Page 39: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

SMS banking to its customers. It has divided its banking into three divisions, each having

customized products to satisfy the needs of that particular division:

Consumer: for individual customers

Commercial: for small and medium enterprises

Corporate: for large national and multinational companies

These strategies have helped UBL to raise its image in the banking sector. Its long term

credit rating is ‘AA+1’.

MCB Bank

In 1974, MCB was nationalized along with all other private sector banks.  This led to

deterioration in the quality of the Bank’s loan portfolio and service quality.  Eventually,

MCB was privatized in 1991. The vision of MCB is

‘Challenging and Changing the Way you Bank.’

The main strategies of the bank have concentrated on growth through improving service

quality, investment in technology and people, utilizing its extensive branch network,

developing a large and stable deposit base and managing its non-performing loans via

improved risk management processes.

In 2006, MCB Bank was awarded the Euro money Award for the ‘best bank in Pakistan’,

which shows its commitment of changing the way you bank.

Askari Bank

Askari Commercial Bank was established in 1992, with the vision of maintaining

excellent standards of banking quality and service, so as to serve its customers better.

With time Askari Bank has also changed its identity, changing its name to a shorter

‘Askari Bank’, a new logo and a new slogan ‘Ask Us’.

Askari Bank has a wide variety of product and services that cater to need of all type of

customers. It also developed a wide variety of products for the ‘Ksaans’ or farmers of

Pakistan, a segment of Pakistani’s neglected by the baking sector of Pakistan. Askari

bank was also the first bank in Pakistan to introduce ATM machines on a third party

basis.

Askari Banks long term rating of ‘AA+’ by Pakistan Credit Rating Agency Limited

(PACRA) also shows its commitment of developing excellent standard of products and

services for its customers.

Citi Bank

international roots and knowledge to make a name in the Pakistani banking sector. Its

main vision is to provide right financial solutions - every time, all the time and to fulfill

their vision Citi Bank has used its ability to identify market needs and develop products

which are unique in concept and fulfill customer requirements. Every customer is served

Organizational structure

Virtual University of Pakistan 40

Page 41: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

A well-developed and properly coordinate structure is an important requirement for

the success of any organization. It provides the basic framework within which

functions and procedures are performed. Any organization needs a structure, which

provides a framework for successful operations. The operation of an organization

involves a number of activities, which are related to decision making, and

communication of these decisions. These activities must be well coordinated so that

the goals of the organization are achieved successfully.

STRUCTURE OF HBL

At present the Bank operates through one central and 23 Regional Offices and 1439

branches, all over Pakistan. The president and Executives Committee look after the

affairs of the Bank. Each Regional Head Quarter is headed by a Chief Executive and

assisted by General Manager Operations and General Manager Support Services. The

Regional Head Quarter controls the branches in their area. Overseas operations

consist of 65 main branches, two affiliates, two representative offices and two

subsidiaries. President, from Head Office at Karachi controls the officers of the Bank

with the help of the senior management. Functional responsibilities of the Banks are

broken into seven groups known as 1) International Operations Group2) Corporate

Banking and Treasury Investment Group3) Retail Banking and Operation Group

Finance, Audit and Administration Group5) Assets Remedial Management Group6)

Credit Policy Group7)Corporate Bank, Financial Institutions and Project Finance

Group. In addition to the overall controlling authority, president also manages the

International Operations Group individually. While the Senior Executive Vice

Presidents supervise rest of the functional groups. Each Senior Executive Vice

Virtual University of Pakistan 41

Page 42: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

President is individually responsible for the group which is assigned to him. At the

level of provinces there are Regional Head Quarters headed by Regional Chief

Executives (RCE). Each RCE is assisted by GM operations and GM Support

Services. Branches are also controlled by the RCEs. Circle Offices of the past times

have been removed to reduce Managerial Layers, which were working under the

control of Zonal Offices. This happened as a result of policy of beginning new

changes in the organizational structure.

Comments on the organizational structure

The purpose of an organizational structure is to help in creating an environment for

human performance. It is then, a management tool and not an end in its own. Although

the structure must define the task to be done, the rules so established must also be

designed in the light of abilities and motivation of the human recourse available. By

analyzing the organizational structure of HBL presence of the following elements can be

found in its structure.

Centralized Decision Making

By looking at the organizational structure of HBL would be found that the structure at

HBL is a critical one. All the decisions are made at the top management level and the

subordinates have to obey these decisions. This trend in the decision making shows a

pattern of rigidity in structure of HBL.

Downward Communication

Communication is the process by which information is exchanged and understood by two

or more people, usually with the interest to motivate or influence the behavior of others in

the organization. Downward communication is the message and information sent from

top management to subordinates in a downward direction. Managers can communicate

downward to the employees through speeches, massages in HBL publications,

information leaflets, tucked into pay envelops material on bulletin boards, policy and

procedure mandates. The same pattern is followed at HBL. No doubt it’s a very

Virtual University of Pakistan 45

Page 46: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

traditional approach but it can create problems because it ignores the receiver of the

communication because the issuer

Of policies and procedures does not ensure communication. In reality may the messages

communicated downward are not understood perfectly.

Chain of Command

The chain of command is an unbroken line of authority that links all persons in an

organization and shows who reports to whom. By analyzing the organizational structure

it can be found that there is a scalar principle followed with in the Bank because each and

every person knows to whom can one report. The authority and responsibility for

different tasks and duties are different, as well as every one knows the successive levels

of management all the way to the top.

Authority and Responsibility

The chain of command illustrates the authority structure of HBL. Authority is the formal

and legitimate right of the manger to make decisions, issues orders and allocates

resources to achieve organizational desired outcomes. By analyzing the chain of

command of HBL, one can come to the conclusion that, as there is scalar pattern

followed at the organizational setup of HBL therefore it is implied that everyone in his

position knows that what is one’s authority and what is the responsibility and the

authority it allocated.

Delegation

Virtual University of Pakistan 46

Page 47: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

Delegation is the process, which managers use to transfer the authority and responsibility

to position below in the hierarchy. Most organizations today encourage managers to

delegate authority to the lowest possible level to provide maximum flexibility to meet

customer needs and adapts to the environment. But at HBL no such system prevails the

managers try to keep as much of the authority as they can and if some authority is

delegated it is sure that it will be misused

1. Remittance Department

As it is the function of the Bank to the money to any place where there is a

Bank. It is the most easiest and safe way to send money to any place. Bank

Virtual University of Pakistan 49

Page 50: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

charges menial amount as a commission for the remittance. Here in the Habib

Bank Limited Chubara Road Layyah Branch there is also remittance

Department. There are mostly four methods to remit the money. They Are

i. Demand Draft (DD)

ii. Mail Transfer (MT)

iii. Pay Order (PO)

i. Demand Draft

It is the most commonly method used for remittance of money. It is very

simple, firstly a form is to be filled in which all details are specified that

where and it which branch the draft is to be sent then the money is depositor

which is called draft and money can by drawn after showing to the bank of the

specified branch of the Bank. Only specified person can draw the money on

that draft. Another method to secure the payment of the draft could be the

crossing of the draft, which means that it will only be deposited in the payee's

account.

To make it more secured and safe the Bank has coded the amount exceeding

Rs. 15000. Only the banker or the person known the actual amount of the draft

in return bank gets a commission which is its mode of earning.

ii. Mail Transfer (MT)

The money is transferred through mail. One Branch of the bank sends

advice to the branch of the same bank to credit the account of payee. In this

Virtual University of Pakistan 50

Page 51: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

type of transfer the payee must has the Bank account. For example, now

days PTV's licenses are made all over the Pakistan. Bank also gets

commission on the mail transfers.

iii. Pay Order (PO)

Pay order is less expensive method of transfer money. Normally this method

is used to transfer money inside the city. If it is used city wide, it takes a

long time. The bank charge Rs. 10 which is flat fee the pay order and an

excise duty of Rs, 1 per leaf with holding tax of 20% on the sum is also

taken from the party.

Now if the pay order is to be cancelled or duplicate of the pay order is to be

needed is case of misplacement Rs.20 is to be paid.

2. Finance/Advance Department

This department has been working under the supervision of knowledge

experienced & well qualified banker. Mr. Nadeem who has been serving this

bank for last 22 years.

This department has been playing one of the primary function of the bank

because a bank is the organization that accept deposits & give advances.

Advances department is one of the most sensitive and important departments

of the bank. The major portion of the profit is earned through this department.

The job of this department is to make proposals about the loans.

The Credit Management Division of Head Office directly controls all the

advances. As we known bank is a profit seeking institution. It attracts surplus

Virtual University of Pakistan 51

Page 52: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

balances from the customers at low rate of interest and makes advances at a

higher rate of interest to the individuals and business firms. Credit extensions

are the most important activity of all financial institutions, because it is the

main source of earning. However, at the same time, it is a very risky task and

the risk cannot be completely eliminated but could be minimized largely with

certain techniques.

Any individual or company, who wants loan from HBL, first of all has to

undergo the filling of a prescribed form, which provides the following

information to the banker.

There are basically two types of loans.

Fund base

Non-fund base

In fund base the cash is involved while in non-fund base cash is not

involved.

These are following types of advances those are given by the bank.

Cash Finance

Running Finance

Any individual or HBL, who wants loan from HBL, first of all has to undergo the

filling of a prescribed form, which provides the following information to the

banker.

Name and address of the borrower.

a) Existing financial position of a borrower at a particular branch.

b) Accounts details of other banks (if any).

c) Security against loan.

Virtual University of Pakistan 52

Page 53: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

d) Exiting financial position of the HBL. (Balance Sheet & Income

Statement).

e) Signing a promissory note is also a requirement of lending, through this

note borrower promise that he will be responsible to pay the certain amount of

money with interest.

Principles of Advances

There are five principles, which must be duly observed while advancing money to

the borrowers.

Safety

Liquidity

Dispersal

Remuneration

Suitability

a. Safety

Banker’s funds comprise mainly of money borrowed from numerous customers

on various accounts such as Current Account, Savings Bank Account, Call

Deposit Account, Special Notice Account and Fixed Deposit Account. It indicates

that whatever money the banker holds is that of his customers who have entrusted

the banker with it only because they have full confidence in the expert handling of

money by their banker. Therefore, the banker must be very careful and ensure that

Virtual University of Pakistan 53

Page 54: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

his depositor’s money is advanced to safe hands where the risk of loss does not

exist. The elements of character, capacity and capital can help a banker in arriving

at a conclusion regarding the safety of advances allowed by him.

b. Character

It is the most important factor in determining the safety of advance, for there is no

substitute for character. A borrower’s character can indicate his intention to repay

the advance since his honesty and integrity is of primary importance. If the past

record of the borrower shows that his integrity has been questionable, the banker

should avoid him, especially when the securities offered by him are inadequate in

covering the full amount of advance.

It is obligation on the banker to ensure that his borrower is a person of character

and has capacity enough to repay the money borrowed including the interest

thereon.

c. Capacity

This is the management ability factor, which tells how successful a business has

been in the past and what the future possibilities are. A businessman may not have

vast financial resources, but with sound management abilities, including the

insight into a specific business, he may make his business very profitable. On the

other hand if a person has no insight into the particular business for which he

Virtual University of Pakistan 54

Page 55: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

wants to borrow funds from the banker, there are more chances of loss to the

banker.

d. Capital

This is the monetary base because the money invested by the proprietors

represents their faith in the business and its future. The role of commercial banks

is to provide short-term capital for commerce and industry, yet some borrowers

would insist that their bankers provide most of the capital required. This makes

the banker a partner. As such the banker must consider whether the amount

requested for is reasonable to the borrowers own resources or investment.

e. Liquidity

Liquidity means the possibilities of recovering the advances in emergency,

because all the money borrowed by the customer is repayable in lump sum on

demand. Generally the borrowers repay their loans steadily, and the funds thus

released can be used to allow fresh loans to other borrowers. Nevertheless, the

banker must ensure that the money he is lending is not blocked for an undue long

time, and that the borrowers are in such a financial position as to pay back the

entire amount outstanding against them on a short notice. In such a situation, it is

very important for a banker to study his borrower’s assets to liquidity, because he

would prefer to lend only for a short period in order to meet the shortfalls in the

wording capital. If the borrower asks for an advance for the purchase of fixed

assets the banker should refuse because it shall not be possible for him to repay

when the banker wants his customer to repay the amount. Hence, the baker must

adhere to the consideration of the principles of liquidity very careful.

f. Dispersal

The dispersal of the amount of advance should be broadly based so that large

number of borrowing customer may benefit from the banker’s funds. The banker

Virtual University of Pakistan 55

Page 56: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

must ensure that his funds are not invested in specific sectors like textile industry,

heavy engineering or agriculture. He must see that from his available funds he

advances them to a wide range of sector like commerce, industry, farming,

agriculture, small business, housing projects and various other financial concerns

in order of priorities.

Dispersal of advances is very necessary from the point of security as well,

because it reduces the risk of recovery when something goes wrong in one

particular sector or in one field.

g. Remuneration

A major portion of the banker’s earnings comes form the interest charged on the

money borrowed by the customers. The banker needs sufficient earnings to

meet the following:

a) Interest payable to the money deposited with him.

b) Salaries and fringe benefits payable to the staff members.

c) Overhead expense and depreciation and maintenance of the fixed assets of

the bank.

d) An adequate sum to meet possible losses.

e) Provisions for a reserve fund to meet unforeseen contingencies.

f) Payment of dividends to the shareholders.

h. Suitability

Virtual University of Pakistan 56

Page 57: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

The word “suitability’ is not to be taken in its usual literary sense but in the

broader sense of purport. It means that advance should be allowed not only to

the carefully selected and suitable borrowers but also in keeping with the overall

national development plans chalked out by the authorities concerned. Before

accommodating a borrower the banker should ensure that the lending is for a

purpose in conformity with the current national credit policy laid down by the

central bank of the country.

Cash Finance

Cash finance is the biggest loan given to the businessmen, industrialists. After

the proper investigation and documentation these finances are given and

genuine property is pledged as a matter of security. These loans are taken for the

purchase of stocks etc. the bank appoints its staff of two or three persons at the

place where that stock is lying. This is a very common form of borrowing by

commercial and industrial concerns and is made available either against pledge

or hypothecation of goods, produce or merchandise. In cash finance a borrower

is allowed to borrow money from the banker up to a certain limit, either at once

or as and when required. The borrower prefers this form of lending due to the

facility of paying markup/services charges only on the amount he actually

utilizes. If the borrower does not utilize the full limit, the banker has to lose

return on the un-utilized amount. In order to offset this loss, the banker may

provide for a suitable clause in the cash finance agreement, according to which

the borrower has to pay markup/service charges on at least on self or one

quarter of the amount of cash finance limit allowed to him even when he does

not utilize that amount.

Bank also keeps three records of the stock and current position. a notice is

also written at the place that the stock are pledged with the bank To get these

Virtual University of Pakistan 57

Page 58: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

types of loan prior permission from the zonal office of the HBL is also

required the bank gets back its principal amount and also markup for the loan.

The rate of markup is Rs. 0.521/1000 per day.

Document Required For the Loan

1. Demand Promissory Note DP Note

This document is filled in by the party that promises to pay the amount

whenever it is demanded.

2. Facility Letter

This is the requisition of the finance facilities to the bank by the party.

3. Balance Confirmation

After the approval of loan this letter is written by the party that such amount is

in the account of the party.

4. Letter of Pledge (IB26)

For the getting of the cash finance a letter of pledge is to be given to the bank

that such property is to be pledged with the bank as a security.

5. Letter of Guarantees (IB 29)

A letter for the personal guarantees is also required, in which the guarantee

from a sound person to the party is attached with the application.

6. Agreement for Financing (IB 6)

This agreement for the short term medium term/long term on the markup

basis. At most these are the documents required in attaining of the loan.

Virtual University of Pakistan 58

Page 59: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

Running Finance

When a customer borrows from a banker a fixed amount repayable either in

periodic installments or in lump sum at a fixed future time, it is called a

“loan”. When bankers allow loans to their customers against collateral

securities they are called “secured loans” and when no collateral security is

taken they are called “clean loans”.

The amount of loan is placed at the borrower’s disposal in lump sum for the

period agreed upon, and the borrowing customer has to pay interest on the

entire amount. Thus the borrower gets a fixed amount of money for his use,

while the banker feels satisfied in lending money in fixed amounts for definite

short periods against a satisfactory security.

This is the most common form of bank lending. When a borrower requires

temporary accommodation his banker allows withdrawals on his account in

excess of the balance which the borrowing customer has in credit, and an

overdraft thus occurs. This accommodation is generally allowed against

collateral securities. When it is against collateral securities it is called

“Secured Overdraft” and when the borrowing customer cannot offer any

collateral security except his personal security, the accommodation is called a

“Clean Overdraft”. The borrowing customer is in an advantageous position in

an overdraft, because he has to pay service charges only on the balance

outstanding against him. The main difference between a cash finance and

overdraft lies in the fact that cash finance is a bank finance used for long term

by commercial and industrial concern on regular basis, while an overdraft is a

temporary accommodation occasionally resorted to.

any time, and as such the bank is not entirely free to employ such deposits.

Until a few decades back, the proportion of Current Deposits in relation to Fixed

Deposits was very small. In recent years, however, the position has changed

remarkably. Now, the Current Deposits have become more important; but still the

proportion of Current Deposits and Fixed Deposits varies from bank to bank,

branch to branch, and from time to time.

Saving account

Savings Deposits account can be opened with very small amount of money, and

the depositor is issued a cheque book for withdrawals. Profit is paid at a flexible

rate calculated on six-month basis under the Interest-Free Banking System. There

is no restriction on the withdrawals from the deposit accounts but the amount of

money withdrawn is deleted from the amount to be taken for calculation of

products for assessment of profit to be paid to the account holder. It discourages

unnecessary withdrawals from the deposits.

In order to popularize this scheme the State Bank of Pakistan has allowed the

Savings Scheme for school and college students and industrial labor also. The

purpose of these accounts is to inculcate the habit of savings in the constituents.

As such, the initial deposit required for opening these accounts is very nominal.

4. AgriFinance Department

At HBL Agri Finance we understand the peaks and troughs of farming. That’s

why we have designed our lease, loan and hire-purchase agreements to match

your income situation. On an arable or dairy farm, for example, cash flow is tight

early in the year when you are buying stock and feed. You may have a surplus at

harvest time or when you receive the single farm payment.

We simply arrange to take high repayments when cash flow is good and lower

ones at quieter periods. If necessary, you can even hold off payments during

periods when your income is under pressure.

Flexible loan

Our lease, loan and hire-purchase agreements do not just apply to farms. We also

help finance equipment used by local authorities, landscape gardeners and sports

clubs in caring for grounds. Unlike buying equipment outright, this allows you to

spread your payments over several yearly budgets. If club membership is an issue,

it means you can spread costs fairly between present and future members. For

more information, contact your local HBL Agri Finance

If you need a range of different pieces of equipment or vehicles over period of

time, we may be able to arrange a credit line for you. We can make an agreed

amount of finance available to you to draw down (take) as you need. Ask your

Agri Finance area sales executive about credit lines and agency purchasing.

Outright purchase

If you want to buy equipment outright, our hire-purchase agreement is the flexible

and cost-effective alternative to overdrafts or term loans. Full ownership passes to

you at the end of the agreed term. On the other hand, with a loan agreement, you

will own the equipment from the beginning. This can be useful in grant-aided

projects, for example, where you need an invoice in your own name. Hire

purchase and loan agreements offer:

fixed repayments, making budgeting easy;

repayments which you can time to suit the income pattern

Of your farm;

the option to claim capital tax allowances on the equipment;

interest on your repayments which is tax-deductible ;

A flexible deposit;

VAT which you can claim back immediately on the whole purchase

Price (except for motor vehicles); and

with a hire-purchase agreement, no need for extra security or to repay

On demand (unlike bank loans).

Ask your HBL Agri Finance area sales executive to explain

The benefits to you in detail.

Lease agreements

Leasing is an efficient way of paying for the use of equipment over a set

Period of time. You negotiate the purchase of the equipment you want and we

will pay

The supplier and keep legal ownership of the equipment. You then rent the

equipment from us over an agreed term - from five up to seven years for tractors.

You can then choose from the following options.

Carry on using the equipment for a small yearly rental fee.

Sell the equipment as our agent and keep all the sales proceeds.

Trade it in as a repayment against new equipment.

Other benefits of leasing include:

Fixed rentals making budgeting easy;

Rentals you can time to suit your income;

Using the equipment just as if you owned it;

Rentals which are fully tax-deductible (except for motor vehicles);

Using an overdraft facility for other purposes;

You do not usually need extra security which you would for a bank loan;

And

a flexible first rental payment.

farmers. It has been observed that farmers usually utilize the credit facility to meet

short term credit needs mostly for purchase of inputs. The banks are also interested

in extending short term credit. The experience of developed economies shows that

agri/rural credit for investment in the form of machinery, equipment and

infrastructure has played major role in increasing productivity and future cash

flows. Therefore, banks need to increase the supply of credit in the form of medium

to long term investment in the farm and nonfarm sector. Farmers can also avail the

opportunity to transform their lands into mechanized farming units to reduce cost

and increase profitability.

Mobilization of funds

The business of accepting deposits of money and lending and/or investing of such monies

is an activity governed by specific laws. The Central Bank has, in terms of the provisions

of the Banking Act No. 30 of 1988 or the Finance Companies Act No. 78 of 1988,

authorized the following three categories of institutions to carryon such business:

Licensed commercial banks

Licensed specialized banks

Registered finance companies

Only the following categories of institutions/organizations are exempted from the

requirement to obtain a license from the Central Bank for the purpose of carrying on the

business of.

Too much institutional capital

Virtual University of Pakistan 73

Page 74: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

Cooperatives need to find ways to increase member funding, since this provides the

lowest cost, lowest risk form of capital for operations and investment. As government

and donor support continues to decline, increasingly this also becomes the only practical

source of funding for cooperatives. Even where outside support is still available, the

advantage of increased reliance on member funding is that it gives greater autonomy to

the cooperative and lowers the risk of eventual withdrawal of outside funding.

The strategy for increasing member funding depends on the particular circumstances of

the cooperative, the type of activity it is engaged in and its scale of operation. Among the

strategies to consider are:

Improving member services and patronage

Most strategies for cooperative development require increased funds. The strategy for developing

the cooperative so that it maintains or expands its market position should focus on operational

efficiency and on patronage, on how the cooperative can maintain existing business and attract

more business and new members. Increased patronage provides an important source of member

capital. However, it also usually requires more working capital for the operation of the business

of the cooperative and may require more investment in fixed assets such as buildings and

equipment.

Consider use of outside funding

In simple terms, the higher the institutional and member capital, the more outside lenders such as

HBL and suppliers will be willing to loan funds to the cooperative. Care should be taken in

borrowing, however since the higher the outside funding as a proportion of funds used, the higher

the risk if something goes wrong. (This risk is measured by the gearing ratio - an increased

gearing ratio meaning a higher risk). If more funds are required, a low gearing ratio can be

maintained if member contributions are also increased. For example, if the cooperative owns

$1000 and needs an additional $1000, it will be highly geared (50% gearing ratio 4) if all funds

Virtual University of Pakistan 74

Page 75: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

come from a loan. Alternatively, if the cooperative raises an additional $500 from member

funding, the sum to be borrowed would be lower The gearing ratio would then be 25% 5

representing a considerably lower risk. It is also easier to find a bank or other lender willing to

provide the less risky loan. The interest rate will also often be lower

4 i.e. gearing ratio = 1000 ÷ (1000 + 1000) × 100 = 50%

5 i.e. gearing ratio = 500 ÷ (1500+ 500) × 100 = 25%

Improving operating efficiency

Improving efficiency can be important for the mobilization of funds. It enables a

cooperative to offer more competitive prices, securing and keeping member loyalty.

Funding and efficiency are related. Cooperatives with sufficient funds are able to invest

in training and technology to reduce costs, and to increase or improve production. Well

managed, technologically efficient cooperatives are generally more likely to accumulate

capital.

Promoting patronage

The more members use the cooperative’s services - that is by selling through or buying

from the cooperative - the more funds the cooperative will receive. It is therefore

important for the cooperative to promote patronage. This is most easily achieved when

cooperatives provide services valued by members, offer competitive prices and prompt

payment.

Virtual University of Pakistan 75

Page 76: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

Giving priority to mobilizing member funds

Most cooperatives will have to rely on member generated funds to finance their

operations. Members’ financial stakes in the cooperative enforce greater accountability of

the cooperative to members, build member participation in decision making and

strengthen cooperative financial self-reliance and operational autonomy. There are a

number of ways in which member funds are obtained. In many cases, increased levels of

funding can be achieved through adjusting these methods:

Non-refundable membership fees upon joining

These fees are often small, but they need not necessarily be so if new members are

buying into a successful business that provides valuable services.

Member shares

All members are required to purchase shares, which are usually the primary source of

member capital. Shares purchased should earn interest and are refundable to the member

upon withdrawal from membership or to his/her heirs in the event of the member’s death.

Shares in some cooperatives can be paid for over time through check-offs from a

member’s transactions with the cooperative. The members share account is credited with

the amount of the deduction.

Many changes in cooperative financing are underway in Europe. These have included the

issue of new classes of shares in addition to member shares, that are weighted on the

.asis of one share, one vote, providing control and governance incentives that result from

cooperative solidarity but not necessarily by the traditional ownership structure. This

technique can attract additional members and capital from those who would otherwise not

Virtual University of Pakistan 76

Page 77: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

be willing to contribute their capital due to their relative lack of control when capita

entitles each member to only one vote regardless of the members’ investment in the

cooperative. Other changes involve the use of limited company forms of organization for

certain activities undertaken for the benefit of cooperatives and their members. These

activities may include wholesale or other large scale marketing activities.

Retention of surplus.

A surplus arises when the cooperative is able to retain some of the proceeds from sales of

members’ produce or from members’ purchases from the cooperative. This surplus can

either be retained by the cooperative as institutional capita, or paid out in patronage

refunds to members following the close of each year In practice, cooperatives often offer

prices more favourable than those prevailing in the market, creating little surplus and

making it impossible to offer patronage refunds. In other cases, cooperatives are

protected by governments and do not operate in competitive markets, making any surplus

unrelated to competitive performance.

Whenever possible, these practices should be altered either to build up surpluses or

increase patronage refunds and attract new members.

Deferred payments

A surplus creates two opportunities for increasing capital available to a cooperative. One

is the surplus retained, and the other is the patronage refund that is allocated but not

immediately paid out in cash. During the period between the realisation of the surplus

and the cash pay-out of patronage refunds, the cooperative has the use of the cash. Pay-

out may take the form of a share or of an obligation to pay the member in the future.

Virtual University of Pakistan 77

Page 78: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

Cooperatives in North America have been particularly creative in finding ways of

retaining cash while allocating surpluses. The usual procedure is to issue notes payable

over several years, such as five or seven. The member receives a portion of the allocation

each year, while the cooperative is able to rotate its capital over the same period.

Making member delivery rights transferable

In certain new processing and marketing cooperatives in North America the founder-

members can purchase delivery rights which guarantee that the cooperative will purchase

a given amount of produce each year. They also oblige the member to provide a certain

amount of produce. These rights are freely transferable, which gives them a market value.

This feature gives members an incentive to behave in a manner that maintains and

increases the market value of their rights.

Too much institutional capital

For the majority of cooperatives in developing countries, the possibility of accumulating

too much institutional capital any time soon is small. However, members should be aware

that it is actually possible for the original purpose of the cooperative to be lost if the

amount of institutional capital becomes too large. This may result in the exclusion of new

members, because present members do not want others to benefit from the services

provided and surpluses produced by the capital accumulated. It may lead to strategies for

intentional losses so that the capital accumulated returns to the members in the form of

unrealistic prices for services. It may also lead to the conversion of the cooperative to

another legal form, such as a limited company While this may benefit existing members

by providing them with higher incomes, the members should be aware that many of the

ideals of a cooperative may be lost in the process.

customers, small and medium businesses and institutional clients.

  Banks source their funds from customer deposits and wholesale

Virtual University of Pakistan 80

Page 81: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

markets (domestic and international). Since the onset of the global financial crisis in

late 2007, bank funding costs have become a topic of considerable discussion given

their link to retail interest rates. The deposits are the major sources for a commercial

bank. There are two kinds of deposits in a bank including checkable deposits and

non-transaction deposits. Checkable deposits form 9% of the all sources of funds

and non- transaction deposits form 61% of all sources of funds. The other sources

of funds for a bank are borrowings from other banks and bank capital which almost

makes 24% and 6% of the total sources of funds respectively.

 

When examining banks’ funding, it is important to recognize that it is not free and

the price of funding varies according to a range of factors.

 

For most of the last decade, banks’ funding sources and the cost of funding has

been relatively predictable. Movements in the Reserve Bank’s cash rate have

generally closely approximated changes in total bank funding costs.

Since the global capital markets crisis in late 2007, the Reserve Bank’s cash rate has

not provided an accurate indicator of changes in bank funding costs. By providing

an overview of bank funding, the paper aims to help explain why this is the case.

Over the past year, financial markets have experienced a serious global financial

event, triggered by the US sub-prime lending market

For banks, the global credit crisis has made it more difficult to access funds and

those funds are more expensive

No-one is predicting a quick end.  There is a possibility that it may take two years

to see conditions in financial markets stabilize.

Virtual University of Pakistan 81

Page 82: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

Debt markets

In terms of funding access, for well-rated institutions (i.e. those with strong

credit ratings) borrowing money in their own name, there is generally

sufficient liquidity in the global debt markets. However, prices remain

elevated. 

Funding bank lending through securitization markets, however, is very

strained. There is very little issuance occurring

Funding

About 50% of banks’ funding comes from deposits; a further 25% from

short-term wholesale funding, and 25% from long-term wholesale funding.

Wholesale funding comes both from domestic and global financial markets

(splits will vary from bank to bank).

Short-term funding (excluding bills of exchange) constitutes 64% domestic

issuance and 36% offshore issuance. For long-term funding the spit is 25%

domestic issuance and 75% offshore issuance.  (These proportions vary

between banks.)

Short-term funding costs have been volatile since August 2007. On several

occasions the 90-day Bank Bill Swap Rate (BBSW)1 spiked sharply 

(August 2007, September 2007, December 2007, February 2008, March

2008, June 2008, September 2008 and October 2008).

Long-term funding costs remain elevated with no evidence of easing. 

Virtual University of Pakistan 82

Page 83: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

Since the onset of the financial crisis, net flows into deposit accounts have

been strong, particularly higher yielding personal investment accounts.

Balances in these accounts have increased 19% (annualized) compared to

1% for lower yielding personal transaction accounts.

Market interest rates and the cash rate

A number of factors influence interest rates including changes in the official cash

rate, inflation expectations, credit ratings and the broader global financial

environment. Under normal circumstances, cash rate changes are expressly linked

to market interest rate changes.  Over the past year, however, global events have

had a greater influence on market rates.

Interest Rate Margins

Banks’ interest rate margins continue to contract.  Interest rate margins for

Australian banks have contracted at a slightly faster pace since the beginning of the

global financial crisis.  

1. Global environment

Over the past year, financial markets have been in the midst of a serious global

financial event caused by the sub-prime crisis in the USA.  The Reserve Bank has

commented on the large increase in the delinquency rate on US sub-prime

mortgages which had grown to about 18 per cent of housing loans in the US.  

Also, of the $US2 trillion of US residential mortgage backed securities (RMBS)

issued to investors in 2006; around a quarter were backed by sub-prime mortgages. 

As a result of the global credit crisis, there was a sharp decline in investor appetite

for RMBS, even those of the highest credit quality. 

Virtual University of Pakistan 83

Page 84: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

The Reserve Bank said that the increase in risk aversion, and the existence of

considerable uncertainty about where the spreads on these securities will settle, has

meant that traditional investors in RMBS have preferred to wait until more settled

conditions return.

This increased risk aversion has significantly increased the cost of short-term and

long-term funds sourced by financial institutions internationally and in Australia. 

Additionally, there has been considerable volatility in the cost of funds. 

Financial experts are not predicting a quick end to the current financial scenario,

with some suggesting it will take up to two years to see financial market conditions 

stabilize, though there is still uncertainty over whether funding costs will return to

the lower levels they have been in the past.

2. Overview of bank funding

Generally speaking, banks source their funds from deposits (50%) and through

wholesale funding, that is, short-term wholesale funding (25%) and long-term

wholesale funding (25%), in both the domestic and global markets (this split will

vary from bank to bank).  Short-term funding relates to borrowings for up to 12

months while long-term funding includes borrowings of greater than 12 months. 

Banks borrow money from global financial markets to facilitate lending to

Australian businesses and households.   Borrowing costs for banks short-term and

long-term funding requirements have increased significantly as a result of the

current global financial crisis.

The price or cost that banks pay for funds depends on many factors. These include:

changes in the official cash rate; competition; international events; the credit rating

of the bank; and the supply of wholesale funds.  

Banks must pay for all funding either though paying deposit interest rates or paying

interest on domestic and global debt.  Therefore, to determine a bank’s cost of funds

Virtual University of Pakistan 84

Page 85: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

it is important to conduct a detailed analysis of all funding components and how

these are changing.  This is discussed further below.

3. State of the debt markets

For banks with a strong credit rating (i.e. AA or A) wanting short-term funding,

there is generally good liquidity in debt markets but prices remain elevated when

compared with levels prior to the financial crisis.

 

For term funding, markets have been very difficult to access and issuance by banks

has been very low, particularly in the most recent months.  Spreads are now at very

high levels.

 

Banks rated BBB+ are finding it more difficult to access longer-term funding and

are concentrating more on short-term funds, private placements and deposit growth.

 Securitization markets continue to see very low issuance levels.  Much of the

Australian issuance was to the US.  Investor interest in securitized assets has

virtually dried up.

  Recent initiatives designed to stimulate debt markets include:

guarantee of banks’ term funding;

deposit guarantees; and

Widening the range of securities eligible for its repurchase operations (repos) by

the RBA.

These initiatives align Australia’s response within the context of the broader global

initiatives which are aimed at resolving the financial crisis.

4. Funding

Virtual University of Pakistan 85

Page 86: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

Banks source funds from deposits and through wholesale funding - short-term and

long-term funds in both the domestic and global financial markets.

 When the term of any funding arrangement expires, either in domestic and global

markets, banks have to re-finance. Since the onset of the global financial crisis,

wholesale funding costs have increased significantly.  Furthermore, interest rate

volatility has increased on these markets and it is widely reported considerable

uncertainty will remain over the next year at least. 

Due to the protracted nature of the sub-prime crisis, pressures in financing from the

wholesale market continue.

ABS Financial Accounts shows retail deposits constitute 49% ($665 billion) of

bank funding as at June 2008.  Wholesale funding accounts for 51% or $703

billion.  Of the short-term funding, excluding bills of exchange (which are not

classified by domestic/offshore), short-term funding is 64% domestic and 36%

offshore.  For long-term funding, 25% is domestic and 75% offshore.

The 90-day bank bill swap rate is commonly viewed as the short-term funding cost

benchmark in the market.  The divergence (i.e. spread) of the 90-day from a market

indicator of the cash rate can indicate changes to the banks’ short-term funding

costs.  This cash rate ‘market’ indicator is called the 90-day Overnight Index Swap

rate (90-day OIS). 

The 90-day OIS is a traded instrument by large treasuries. Its value reflects the

expectation of where the cash rate will be in 90 days (it’s like a futures contract).

 Analyzing the spread between the 90-day and the 90-day OIS provides a broad

measure of changes to banks’ short-term funding costs. This spread reflects market

conditions as interest rates incorporate both credit premiums and liquidity in

financial markets. Changes in these measures also reflect banks’ product pricing

and risk management.

The chart below shows that the cost of short-term funds has been volatile since

August 2007.  On numerous occasions the 90-day has increased significantly

(August 2007, September 2007, December 2007, February 2008, March 2008, June

Virtual University of Pakistan 86

Page 87: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

2008, September 2008 and October 2008).

  Banks’ short-term funding costs (i.e. over and above the 90-day OIS) have

significantly increased since the global financial crisis.  The chart shows that prior

to August 2007, the cost above the 90-day OIS was about 8-10 basis points.  After

August 2007, this spread reached a high of 144 basis points in early October 2008.

Longer term funding costs continue to stay high with little evidence of easing.  The

chart below shows the spread to swap2 for banks’ three-year term funding.  Recent

pricing for bank issuance remains about 175 bps above swap for three- year terms.

The widening spreads for long term funding are detailed in The Sheet (18 August

2008):

‘As for the cost of longer term funding, the credit spreads the banks have to pay on

their borrowings have been moving steadily wider since the credit crunch began. In

the domestic market, this is best exemplified in the two and four year parts of the

curve. Bond issuance in May attracted a spread of 47 bps and 95 bps for two and

four years respectively.

Critical analysis

Financial analysis is the process of identifying the financial strengths and weakness

of the firm by properly establishing relation ship between the items of balance sheet

and profit and loss account, in order to make rational decision in keeping with the

objective of the organization, for that purpose the management use analytical tools.

To evaluate the financial condition and performance of the business entity, the

financial analyst needs to perform "checkups" on various aspects of the business

financial health.

A tools frequently used during these checkups is a financial ratio analysis, which

relates two piece of financial data by dividing one quantity by the other we

calculate ratios because in this way we get a comparison that may prove more

useful than the raw number by themselves. The business itself and outside providers

of capital (creditors and investors) all undertake financial statement analysis. The

type of analysis varies according to the specific interest party involved. The nature

of analysis is depending at the purpose of analyst.

RATIO ANALYSIS

Virtual University of Pakistan 94

Page 95: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

Ratio Analysis is an important and age-old technique of financial analysis. Ratios are

important and helpful in the reference that:

These simplify the comprehension of financial statement and tell the

whole story of changes in the financial conditions of the business.

These provide data for inter-firm comparison. The ratios highlight the

factors associated with successful and unsuccessful firms, also reveal

strong and weak firms.

These help in planning and forecasting, these can assist management in its

basic functions of forecasting, planning, coordination and control.

These help in investment decision in case of investor and lending decision

in case of Bankers etc.

However, the ratios are only indicators, they cannot be taken as final regarding

good and bad financial position of the business other things have also to be seen.

1. RETURN ON EQUITY

Dividing profit after taxation by share holder’s equity. ROE compares net profit

after taxes to the Share holder’s Equity.

This ratio is calculated as:

ROE=Profit after taxes/Share holder’s Equity

Virtual University of Pakistan 95

Page 96: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

2008 = 29.42%

2007 = 33.61%

2. RETURN ON ASSETS:

This ratio shows the efficiency of organization that how efficiently utilizes their

assets. This ratio relates profits to assets.

It is calculated as:

Profit after Tax/Total Assets

2008 = 3.60%

2007 = 4.60%

3. EARNING PER SHARE:

N.P.A.T ÷ No. Of outstanding shares

2008 = 24.47%

2007 = 24.30 %

4. RETURN ON DEPOSIT:

Virtual University of Pakistan 96

Page 97: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

N.P.A.T * 100 ÷ Total Deposit

2008 = 4.65 %

2007 = 5.22 %

5. CASH/DEPOSIT RATIO:

“This ration is obtained by dividing cash by current liabilities / liabilities”.

This ratio shows that the cash is enough for payment of current liabilities or not.

It is calculated as cash Ratio=Cash/current liabilities

Or

=Cash/Total Deposit

2008 = 11.99 %

2007 = 13.58 %

6. INTEREST INCOME/TOTAL INCOME RATIO:

Interest Income ÷ Total Income

2008 = 87.36 %

Virtual University of Pakistan 97

Page 98: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

2007 = 83.13 %

7. NET PROFIT MARGIN:

This ratio measure the firm’s profitability of sales/ interest earned after taking

account of all expenses and income taxes.

This ratio can be calculated as:

Net profit margin ration= Net Profit after taxes / interest earned *100

2008 = 33.54%

2007 = 39.92 %

8. AVERAGE PROFIT PER BRANCH:

Profit Net ÷ No. Of Branches

2008 = Rs. 14,984,990.25

2007 = Rs. 14,878,715.4

Virtual University of Pakistan 98

Page 99: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

9. OPERATING EXPENSE RATIO:

Non markup expense ÷ Gross income

2008 = 27.72 %

2007 = 21.96 %

10. TOTAL ASSET TURNOVER:

Interest/markup earned*100 ÷ Total asset

2008 = 9.02 %

2007 = 7.74 %

11. RISK ASSETS TURNOVER:

Net interest income after provision ÷ Risk assets

2008 = 65.98 %

Virtual University of Pakistan 99

Page 100: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

2007 = 68.11%

12. ADVANCES TO TOTAL DEPOSITS:

This ratio show that how much efficiently the bank advances the deposits of their

customer to borrower.

It is calculated as.

Advances deposit ratio = Advances/ deposit

2008 = 79.48 %

2007 = 74.96 %

13. DUE FROM BANK TO DUE FROM BANK:

Landing to financial institution* 100 ÷ Borrowing from financial institution

Virtual University of Pakistan 100

Page 101: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

2008 = 18.09 %

2007 = 2.66 %

Organization analysis in comparison with its industry (or with its competitors)

Competitive advantage spells out the ‘uniqueness' of the organization vis-à-vis its

competitors. so the HBL also have uniqueness in its dealing with customers and

also have uniqueness in his strategy with other their competitors. Business analysis

is imperative for the organization to ascertain the mood and the conditions for

starting or consolidating a business venture. Business strategy analysis involves

analysis of the organizational strategy to create a sustainable competitive advantage

primary objective of competitor analysis is to understand and predict the rivalry, or

interactive market behavior, between firms in their quest for a competitive position

in an industry. Therefore the HBL also always analyze their competitors Banks

Toward this end, researchers have examined factors that influence competitive and

patterns of entry into and exit from rivals' markets However, researchers have

made limited effort to investigate the prebattle competitive relationship between

rivals and the extent to which it may predict rivalrous behavior in the market. This

omission is due partly to the restricted conceptual treatment of competitor analysis,

which has not fully incorporated the essential antecedents that affect a firm's

competitive activity, let alone considered them in an integrated way.

Intensity of rivalry, one of Porter's (1980) well-known five forces driving

competition, has remained mainly a theoretical construct confined to the industry

level. In terms of analyzing firms competing in an industry, the strategic-group far

the most popular and relevant. However, researchers who use this approach have

largely ignored the market context in which competitors carry on their battles and

the extent to which two firms actually compete directly against each other.

Virtual University of Pakistan 101

Page 102: Hbl Internship Replort for Finance

Although the marketing literature recognizes the importance of the market context,

its contribution has been primarily in analyzing competitors and competition at the

brand or individual-market level rather than at the firm level. Other approaches

usually represent a high degree of abstraction and rely primarily on managers' or

researchers' subjective perceptions, which often are too remote to be linked to

competitive behaviors in the market Thus far, some of the most fundamental

questions in competitor analysis have remained unexplored 1985). For example,

how can researchers studying competition differentiate among players in an

industry to explain each player's market behaviors? How can a firm, before

launching an attack, assess its prebattle relationship with a given rival and the

resultant likelihood that this rival would retaliate? How can a firm gauge which

opponent is most likely to attack its markets? How can strategists differentiate

among a set of competitors to allow the firm to allocate appropriate resources and

attention to each? Finally, although the importance of competitor analysis and

interfirm rivalry is well recognized, there has been no systematic attempt to

integrate the two topics.

This article seeks to provide a conceptual link by proposing two firm-specific,

theory-based constructs: the market commonality and the resource similarity

between a given pair of competitors. Taking the firm as the basis for analysis, I

argue that each firm has a unique market profile and resource endowment and that a

comparison with a given competitor along these two dimensions will help to

illuminate the competitive relationship between them and to predict how they may

attack (or respond to) each other in the market. This firm-specific conceptualization

also leads to the idea of competitive asymmetry, the notion that a given pair of

firms may not pose an equal threat to each other. I first offer a number of

competitive attack and response. I also propose measures to assess market

commonality and resource similarity along with a demonstration of how such

measures could be implemented. The article ends with a number of implications for

research and practice.

markets are in catch-up mode as evidenced by the emergence of some dark pools and,

future also want to trained their employees in any technology and also will provide the

new technology that facilitate the customers of the HBL
