1947, banking in Pakistan was dominated by branches of British banks. The StateBank of Pakistan, the central bank, was formed after partition in 1948. It assumed thesupervisory and monetary policy powers of the State Bank of India. In the period of
60s to 70s the emergence of a number of specialized development finance institutions(DFIs) such as Industrial Development Bank of Pakistan (IDBP) and the AgriculturalDevelopment Bank (ADB). These DFIs were either controlled directly by the state orthrough the SBP, and were intended to concentrate on specific priority sector lending.In 1974 all domestic commercial banks were nationalized by the Government. ThePakistan Banking Council was established, which assumed the role of a bankingholding company but with limited supervisory powers. However, PBC was dissolvedin 1997, leaving the SBP as the sole regulatory authority for banks and financialinstitutions in Pakistan. Nationalization of the banking sector led to pet projects.

the Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad Stock Exchanges and the initial public offeringwas over subscribed by 16 times.
While capturing the target market share amongst the view banks, Askari hasprovided good value to its shareholders. Its share price has remained approximately12% higher than the average share price of quoted banks during the last four years.
Askari Bank has expanded into a nation wide presence of 83 Branches, and anOffshore Banking Unit in Bahrain. A shared network of over 800 online ATMscovering all major cities in Pakistan supports the delivery channels for customerservice.

Askari Bank is the only bank with its operational head office in the twin citiesof Rawalpindi-Islamabad, which have relatively limited opportunities as compared toKarachi and Lahore. This created its own challenges and opportunities, and forced as
to evolve an outward-looking strategy in terms of Askari market emphasis. As aresult, Askari developed a geographically diversified assets base instead of aconcentration and heavy reliance on business in the major commercial centers ofKarachi and Lahore, where most other banks have their operational Head offices.
MOTIVATION OF ASKARI COMMERCIAL BANK

from the development in the global financial markets; the opportunities and threatsengendered by greater deregulation and increased customer expectations. These

Historically, Askaris core marketing focus for its asset base has been themiddle and upper middle business houses (including wholesalers and manufacturers)operating in the large urban centers of Pakistan, which are primarily oriented towardsforeign trade. This segment constitutes significant revenues to the bank. The liabilityside remains focused on the middle and upper middle class retired and servinggovernment and armed forces personal and mid-size business houses.
Their corporate banking division was established in April 1999 with theprimary focus on servicing large corporate and multi-national companies (MNCs).Benefiting from the banks growing balance sheet size, this division B now gainingmomentum and their long-term aim D to develop it into an independent.
Strategic business unit (SBU) This would the bank to acquire, develop andspecialized abilities, and enhance their focus on serving the emerging needs of thecorporate clients.

Askari commercial bank use umbrella brand strategy the same brand name supportseveral different product in different market such like the name of the brand is askaricommercial bank and it offer a range of product in different market such like Askarirupee traveler cheque and Askari smart cash An umbrellabrand is a brand that coversdiverse kinds of products which are more or less related Umbrella branding can be asuccessful marketing strategy. However, this de-pends on having a consistent andclear brand identity across the variants. It also needs to be recognized that, while thisapproach can help kick start variant launches, halo effects are not guaranteed. Onlyaround a quarter of variant ads benefit other variants within the portfolio so it isusually necessary to support individual variant launches.

The main advantages of Umbrella brand strategy are
One can capitalize on the strength of one product and gain the benefit of scaleeconomies in other markets.
The almost immediate goodwill can be generated only if the brand is well
knownAnd enjoys great reputation like the brands mentioned above.
Firms of great reputation can save a lot of money on communications if theyEnter markets where they were not present before.
In present days over-communicated era, this is a tremendous advantage givenThe fact that the cost of achieving awareness is out of reach of so manyCompanies
The drawbacks are of Umbrella brand strategy is:
Any product can negatively affect the overall brand and specific benefits maybe muddled in the overall shared value
