departments of the Branch, but the focus is on General Banking.

CHAPTER-2

OVERVIEW OF THE ORGANIZATION

2.1. INTRODUCTION TO BANKING

2.1.1 EVOLUTION OF BANKING

It has not so far been decided as to how the word Bank originated. Some authors opine

that this word is derived from the words Bancus or Banque which means a bench. The

explanation of this origin is attributed to the fact that the Jews in Lombardy transacted the

business of money exchange on benches in the market place. Incidentally the word

Bankrupt is said to have been evolved from this practice. The opponents of this opinion

argue that if it was so, then how it that the Italian moneychangers were never is called

Banchierei in the Middle Ages

Other authorities are of the opinion that the word Bank is derived from the Genevan word

Back, which means joint stock fund. Later on, when the Germans occupied major part

of Italy, the word Bank was italinized into Bank.

In the middle of 12th century banks were established at Venice and Genoa. Again in 14 th

century, money lenders in Florence were found. They received money as deposits and also

lended money.

Generally the word Bank originated in Italy. In the middle of 12th century there was a

great financial crisis in Italy due to the war. To meet the war expenses the Government of

the period imposed a forced subscribed loan on citizens of the country at the interest of 5%

annum. Such loans were known as compara Mintuo etc.

The development of banking can be divided into various stages. Some are also of the

opinion that the word Bank has been derived from the Italian word Banco which means a

branch. The Jew money lenders in Italy used to transact their business settings on branches

at different market places, if one of them failed to meet his obligations, his Banco or

branch would be broken by the angry creditors. The word bankrupt seems to have

4


5/31

evolved from such broken Bancos. Since the banking system originated from money

lending business, it is rightly argued that the word bank originated from the word Banco.

The 1st stage in development of banking was accepting of deposits of cash from people.

The 2nd stage included issuance of bank notes by gold smiths for the money deposited with

them.

In the 3rd stage the lenders started to enjoy charging interests.

The 4th stage allowed the depositors overdraft facilities.

2.2. MODERN DEFINITION OF BANKING

Banks are the companies which transact the business of banking. The companies operate

in accordance with the provisions of the Banking companies ordinance, 1962 section 5(b),

which states that:

banking means the accepting of money from saver or from surplus economic unit to

depict economic unit for investment on its interest rate

2.3. HISTORY OF HABIB BANK LIMITED

HBL was established on 21st August 1941, an auspicious day in the economics history of

the Muslims in India.

In 1947, HBL shifted its registered office to Karachi. It was a time when the independence

plan of India had been already announced.

Consequently there was a serious risk on the banks for transfer of funds of accounts.

Pakistans banking system at that time consisted principally of about 19 non Indian

foreign banks, no higher in status then small branch offices, whose policies were controlled

by their Head Office.

These banks were engaged solely in the movement of export crops and had only limited

interest in the fortunes of new born state. The only Pakistan institution was the Habib

Bank, which had transferred its head office from Bombay to Karachi and the Australia

Bank, which had been functioning in the Pakistan territories prior to June 1947.

shaped into one of the most dynamic financial organizations in the world.

2.4. STORY OF GROWTH- HABIB BANK LTD

When Habib Bank Ltd. was established in 1941 it had only 3 offices in undivided India at

Bombay, Calcutta & Delhi. At the time of partition, the bank decided to transfer its Head

Office (HO) from Bombay to Karachi. The gigantic movement of men and money was in a

state of doubt and confusion. But, with clear sightedness and true signify, the bank gave

immigrants the boldest remittance facilities which save Muslims wealth in India from

greater annihilation. Another important service that this timely influx performed was to fill

the intensifying vacuums that the exodus of Hindu Wealth from Pakistan ruthlessly

created.

While Pakistan was getting on its economics feet, the bank played the most creditable role.

Its large subscription to Government loans, its generous support to institutions, like the

Pakistan Industrial Development corporation (now the industrial development bank of

Pakistan) in it nascent stage and its continuous and uninterrupted support to every form of

industry and nation building projects are the story of singular decimation. The reward is

the satisfying knowledge of the good that has been achieved and the increased opportunity

to serve.

New Pakistan bank secured their early nucleus of officers and staff largely from trained

personnel of Habib Bank.

This is itself was a service to banking in Pakistan in general apart from the many first that

it secured on the banking horizon of the country such a school banking schemes.

Agricultural Credit, Deposit Growth Certificate, Credit Cards not to mention the towering

contribution of introducing automation through computers on the banking scenario.

The story of the banks growth fills every nationals heart pride. It has achieved fourth

place amongst the banks world, which have shown larger growth.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE AND MANAGEMENT REVIEW

2.9 ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE OF HBL

Organizing is a process of breaking down the overall tasks of the enterprise into

individual assignments / activities and then getting them put together in units or

departments or groups along with the delegation of authority to a manager of a unit /

departments / group.1

Organizational structure implies a formalized intentional structure of roles and position.

This is not the end in itself, rather a means with which to help achieve certain objectives. Awell developed and properly coordinated structure is an extremely important requirement

for the successful operation of any organization. It provides the basic framework within

which functions and procedures are performed. Organizational structure is the formal

hierarchy for management, decision making, establishing accountability, reporting &

control. The structure defines line of authority and is based on the functions of the

organization and its business, segmented in to departments but interlinked according to the

nature of activities performed. There are four main types of organizational structures.

1. Vertical organization

2. Flat organization

3. Matrix organization

4. Hybrid organization

Vertical structure is a management structure characterized by an overall narrow span &

relatively more hierarchal levels 1.It is also called top to bottom structure .On the other

hand, flat structure is a management structure characterized by an overall broad span of

control & relatively few hierarchal levels. The flat level is horizontally dispersed & is a

new type of structure. Matrix Structure is an organizational structure that assigns

specialists from different functional departments to work on one or more projects being led

by project managers. Hybrid structure is a blend of two or more different types of

organization design. A hybrid organization is formed that has different levels of the

organizational design.

chart provides the picture of the operating structure

and the decision of labor total representation from the private sector and of professional

senior management. These changes were a breakthrough to inoculate a commercial sense

in the orthodox banking system of the country, modernize the financial institutions, to

improve the operations and to prepare the banks privatization in the shortest possible

period of time.

In September 1997, the bank was reorganized throughout its domestic and overseas

operations on functional lines creating discreet business groups to focus against the

20/31

Interpretation of ratios:

To evaluate a firms financial condition and performance, the financial analyses to needs to

perform checkups on various aspects of a firms financial health. A tool frequently used

during these checkups is a financial ratio, which relates two pieces 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 numbers by themselves. Following is the

ratio calculation and interpretation of HBL.

Current Ratio

The current ratio of HBL is increasing over time as evident from the table 7.1. It was 0.96

in 2009 and is 1.07 in 2010.This means that the higher the current ratio the higher is HBLs

ability to meet the short term obligations as they become due. This in turn decreases the

risk of short term insolvency due to inability of meeting with short term obligations.

Asset Turn Over Ratio

This shows revenue generated per rupee investment in total assets. HBLs assets turn over

ratio is showing a decrease in 2010 i.e. 0.05 as shown in graph .This was because theincrease in total assets was not in proportion with the increase in revenue. Banks have

relatively low ATR as they are selective in advancing loans and thus generating smaller

sales/revenue figures.

Debt to Asset Ratio

This ratio shows the companys assets financed by debt. Creditors would like to see this

ratio low. The debt to asset ratio of HBL over the recent 3 years show that almost 95% ofHBLs assets are financed by debt. Since HBL is a nationalized bank, they can afford to

have such higher leverages. However, they must reduce their debt to asset ratio and inject

more capital in their business.

Coverage Ratio

20


21/31

This ratio shows the number of times a company can cover or meet a particular financial

charge or obligation. The most commonly used ratios is the interest coverage or times

interest earned ratio that measures the number of times the income is available to pay

interest charges. HBLs interest coverage ratio has shown a slight improvement from 2009

to 2010.

Gross Profit Margin

Gross profit is the difference between revenue and cost of goods or services sold. Gross

profit is critical because it represents the amount of money remaining to pay operating

expenses, financing costs and taxes and to pay for profit. HBLs gross profit margin per

rupee has shown a rise from 2009 to 2010 due to generating more revenue. This shows

efficiency of the bank in controlling cost of sales (m.up expense) and/or better strategy of

pricing products.

Net Profit Margin

This ratio shows the profit that is available from each rupee of sales after all the expenses

have been paid, including cost of sales, selling, general and administrative expenses like

gross profit margin. Net profit margin of HBL shows an improvement overtime. This

means that though the spread has increased or cost of funds has decreased, the other

expenses of the bank like operating, general, administrative or selling expenses have

shown a slight increase.

Return on Investment

This ratio measures the profitability per rupee of investment in assets. HBLs ROI has

shown improvement from 2009 till 2010. This is due to increase in net profit margin of

HBL.

Return on Equity

21


22/31

This ratio shows the residual profit as a proportion of the book value of common

shareholders equity. The ROE of HBL has shown great improvement in the last 3 years

due to improvement in net profit margin i.e. 11.03 and asset turn over ratio i.e. 0.05.

Debt to Equity

This ratio shows the total proportion of debt acquired to total share holder equity. HBL had

a consistent ratio in the previous 2 years but in 2010, it has decreased to 19.45. This shows

that the debt acquired for boosting up banks performance has decreased with a reasonable

change in the equity of the bank.

Advances to Deposit

This ratio shows the companys advances employed per unit of deposit. This ratio of HBL

over the recent 3 years has shown mixed trend and during 2010 it has come down to

60.55% from 59% for the previous year as shown in graph The deposits have shown

increase and total advances have reduced but not in proportion to each other.

Investments to Deposit

This ratio shows the companys investments employed per unit of deposit. This ratio of

HBL over the recent 4 years has shown continuous increase as shown in graph . This is

because of the lowering interest rates trend and other negative industrial developmental

factors in the country.

CHAPTER 4

RECOMMENDATIONS USING QUALITATIVE ANALYSISAS A BASE

4.1 RECOMMENDATION FOR HBL

Following are the recommendations for HBL

Need to diversify

HBL is very innovative indeed, keeping in view the introduction of almost all

the banking products. But for the past couple of years, HBL was not able to

diversify its deposit product base. HBL has a well identified target market.

Hence to better achieve what it has in target, a well properly attributed product

line is the cry of the day.

Lack of Motivation

My internship was completed wholly in Peshawar Region. The employees

working in these branches lack motivation. Their needs have to be assessed,

valuated and properly interpreted. This will help increase their motivation and

boost up their morale.

Training required

The Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) and the Turn around Time (TAT) of

these branches is unsatisfactory. This need to be geared up, which will require

proper training and planning.

Lack of opportunities for growth

There is lack of career development opportunities in HBL. A proper career

development programme is also necessary for the employees.

Poor feedback system

There is no knowledge of appraisal among the employees of HBL in Peshawar.

This in turn results in a fear of downsizing among the employees. A proper

appraisal system might be effective in gaining the confidence of the employees.

26


27/31

R&D required for future prospects

Afghanistan is an open golden opportunity for every organization. It is

presently in the recovery stage after the devastating war effects. Hence, it is a

proper time to conduct a research on the different market situation there. The

Bank should utilize this opportunity to its maximum

Marketing research

Marketing is the only means left for organizations to get an edge over each

other in this competitive scenario. HBL has to work hard in this area. Good

marketing research and advertisements having good cost benefit aspects must

be incorporated.

Expansion of ATM facility

ATM facility of HBL is restricted. People nowadays dont have that much time

to stand in long queues. They want auto encashment facility almost everywhere.

Expanding the ATM network will catch more customers.

Trend of evening banking

There is no Evening Banking in Peshawar. Evening Banking can be a good start

in Peshawar and HBL has the potential to avail this opportunity being the

largest banking institution in Pakistan and having the oldest experience curve.

Lack of banking knowledge

The employees in most of the branches have banking experience but they lack

banking knowledge. Fresh graduates specialized in banking and finance can be

acquired and trained for better functioning of the bank.

Outdated buildings

The physical outlook and appearance of HBL branches in Peshawar are

outdated. They require attention from the higher level management of the bank.

A nice and decent appearance will help in improving the image of HBL more

appropriately.

Proper monitoring system

A proper dress code is there for the employees but due to the lack of

monitoring, the employees are least bothered about it. Discipline and proper

dress code should be highly recommended.

27


28/31

Lack of computer know how

The most common and biggest drawback of the employees working in

Peshawar Region is their lack of knowledge about computer knows how. A

great deal of emphasis is required from the management side in this regard.

Proper computer training should be provided for each and every employee of

the bank.

HBL should offer some stipend to its internee so that they can meet some of

their expenses during their internship. Also there applications for internship

should be processed quickly in order to save their time. Branch managers

should be asked to give full attention to internees and give them as much as

possible practical training.

The bank should ensure the quality of staff. Capable people should be placed

for every position rather than fulfilling it. The process of golden handshake &

some other compensation schemes are good methods to reduce the unqualified

staff.

The job of employee should be clear to him or her, for that proper job analysis

for each member of the staff should be done. Each employees job,

responsibilities, duties and functions must be in written and well-defined

manner. Setting of targets and tasks for each job, thus invoking professionalism

and removing lethargy from the staff. Target should be decided on data basis

and only realistic achievable targets should be allotted. Further the target must

pertain to the areas of operation of the concerned staff.

4.2 Recommendation on the Basis of Financial Analysis

1. Debt to equity ratios shown in the above table have a positive increase during the

last four years so it means that they can have lots of investment opportunities in themarket which can lead to a much profitable portfolio of the bank.

2. Current asset test implies that MCB has the liquid securities on hand floating these

marketable securities can earn more than expected. in the cross sectional analysis of

the three banks HBL has an advantage so it should get and explore new channels of

investment (short term).

3. Due to the unstable economic conditions of the country and interest rates are not

stable which have an effect on the asset turn over ratios. Which implies that MCB

is not effectively using its assets to generate revenues.

4. Comparison between the debt and assets speaks loudly the requirement of

increasing its both current and long-term assets. But it is growing with slow pace.

5. Coverage ratios indicates the covering of earning over the interest which shows a

positive trend during the years.

6. Due to the diversified products and products innovations has a shown a good

impact on the profit margin.

7. Investing is the main function of any financial institution .HBL realizing the need

for diversified investment portfolio have achieved good results.

8. Equity is the reserves of the bank which he utilizes in case of emergencies or it can

create opportunity or experimenting different5 products in the market. HBL has

adequate supply of equity, which shows positive trends during the five years

analysis.

9. Deposits are the lifeblood of the bank. Banks mostly make advances from its

deposits HBL has a positive graph against its deposits so it means they have a good

or positive advances portfolio.

10. Analysis of the balance sheet reveals a very good picture because balance sheet is a

picture at particular point but when it is compared with the previous balance sheet

of the previous years it shows changes. And if that change shows positive trends it

means that the organization is staidly approaching and adopting the newer trends of

the banking industry. HBL after privatization is now considering to review all its

functions and operation throughout the organization .so its focus is mainly of the

29


30/31

Asset management

Investing activities

Foreign reserves

Tax efficiency And handling its liquid securities.

11 Due to the strong hold on the money laundering now the people have started

using banking channels for the remittances so it is found in theses years that

many banks have developed very efficient system for fund transfer around the

globe. It is now a growing trend and earning a lot of revenues on the service

charges.

12 Government reviews its monetary and fiscal policies from time to time. Banks

are required to adapt changes in such a way that at any time or point it do not

coincides with each other which can leave a bad impact on the operation of the

overall bank.

13 HBL realizing the need of the efficient labor has invested a lot on its

employees as an off job and on job training during recent years.

14 24 hours cash access is one of the most important functions of the bank these

days. HBL has increased its no of ATM machines round the country to

facilitate its customers in time. This system has many problems but time and

technology is helping it a lot.

15 Lastly project financing is the link between development and revenues. Bank

should initiate and implement efficient steps to improve its goodwill and

development in country.

CONCLUSION

From above analysis it can be concluded that the management of the Bank can adopt more

systematic planning for the bank growth and introduce different newer schemes. Also

30


31/31

technological advancement can help a lot should be done. HBL controls a larger segment

of customers as compared to the other banks. If proper attention and services are provided

to the customers it will be the leading bank in Pakistan in no time at all. Customers need to

be made the prime focus.

Among balance sheet items, fixed deposits have shown a decrease, which is a matter of

concern for the bank as fixed deposits constitute the main source of funds, which a bank

can safely advance. In short, HBL has overtaken some of its competitors in the

performance race. To HBL now, it is quite obvious that if it keeps its performance

consistent over the next couple of years, it will outperform all of its competitors easily.

Now that Habib bank limited has been sold for 22.409 billion to AKFED, Agha khan fund

for economic development, 51% of its shares and the management has been handed over to

them. There are greater chances of increased productivity, profitability and growth. Thus,

making it in the real sense the power to lead.
