1.1.3 HISTORIAL BACKGROUND –

Before separation of Indo Pak, the need for more Muslim banks was felt. And Muslims
having strong financial capacity were thinking to invest in this sector as well. This was
the idea, which paved the way for setting up Muslim Commercial Bank Ltd. known as
MCB. This was the third Muslim bank in the subcontinent.

This bank was incorporated under companies’ act 1913 on 9th July 1947 at Calcutta. But
due to changing scenario of the region, the certificate of incorporation was issued on 17th
August 1948 with a delay of almost 1-year; the certificate was issued at Chitagong. The
first Head office of the company was established at Dacca and Mr. GM Adamjee was
appointed its first chairman. It was incorporated with an authorized capital of RS.15
million.

After some time the registered office of the company was shifted to Karachi on August
23rd, 1956 through a special resolution, recently the Head office of MCB has been
transferred to Islamabad in July 1999 and Head office is termed as Principal Office.

This institute was nationalized with other on January 1st, 1974. At that time it had 506
branches and deposits amounting to Rs.1.640 m. Although MCB has a reputation of a
conservative bank but nationalization also left its effects on this institute as well and by
end of year 1991 in which it was privatized the total number of branches were 1.287 and
deposits amounting to as high as Rs.35,029 m.

When privatization policy was announced in 1990, MCB was the first to be privatized
upon recommendations of World Bank and IMF. The reason for this choice was the
better profitability condition of the organization and less risky credit portfolio which
made'' it a good choice for investors. On April 8th, 1991, the management control was
handed over to National Group (the highest bidders). Initially only 26% of shares were
sold to private sector at RS. 56 per share

RATIO ANALYSIS –

Financial analysis, while varying according to the particular interest of the analyst,
always involves the use of various financial statements - primarily the balance sheet and
income statement and the cash flow statement. Financial analysis involves the use of
various financial statements.

The balance sheet summarizes the assets, liabilities, and owners' equity of a business at a
point in time, while the income statement summarizes revenues and expenses of a firm
over a particular period of time and about cash flow it tells the cash generated by the
bank.

A conceptual framework for financial analysis provides the analyst with an inter-locking
means for structuring the analysis. For example, in the analysis of external financing, one
is concerned with the firm's funds needs, its financial condition and performance, and its
business risk. Upon analysis of these factors, one is able to determine the firm's financing
needs and to negotiate with outside suppliers of capital.

Ratio analysis involves methods of calculating and interpreting financial ratios to analyze
and monitor the bank’s performance.

Interested parties –

Ratio analysis of a firm, s financial statements is of interest to shareholders, creditors and


the firm’s own management. Both present and prospective shareholders are interested in
the firm’s current and future level of risk and return, which directly affect share price.

The firm’s creditors are interested primarily in the short term liquidity of company and its
ability to make interest and principal payments. A secondary concern of creditors is the
firm’s profitability; they want assurance that the business is healthy.

Management is concerned with all aspects of the firm’s financial situation and its
attempts to produce financial ratios that will be considered favorable by both owners and
creditors.

COMMENTS ON FINANCIAL RATIOS –


NET PROFIT RATIO –
Net profit ratio is the best measure to have an idea about the overall profitability of any
organization. More of this ratio better it is. The NP ratio of MCB is increasing it is a good
sign.

OPERATING RATIO –
The operating ratio measures the cost of operations per rupee of sales. It shows the
operational efficiency of the business. Higher the ratio, less profits available to share
holders. The MCB operating ratio has increased during the year and it is a negative sign.
This ratio should be between 75%-80%. But in year 2005 the ratio has declined to 53%
which is a sign that MCB this year has given more than usual profits to its shareholders.

OPERATING EXPENSE RATIO –

The lower the ratio, better it is as it means the greater profitability. But this ratio of MCB
is constantly increasing as by passing years showing a decreased profitability for the
organization. But year 2005 has proved profitable for MCB as this ratio has declined by a
great margin.

RETURN ON TOTAL ASSETS –

Return on total assets shows the use of total assets in financial year. This ratio has
increased during 2005 in MCB which is a sign of good performance.

RETURN ON SHARE CAPITAL –

Higher the rate better for the owners. In MCB this ratio has increased by a very great
margin in 2005.

RETURN ON EQUITY –

Return on equity is important for shareholders who want to know what profit earned will
be made available. This ratio for MCB has decreased in 2004 and in 2005 which is not
good a favorable sign.

NET PROFIT PER BRANCH –

Net profit per branch is increasing which is the sign of its progress.

SOLVENCY RATIO –

Solvency ratio determines the firm; ability to pay off its liabilities. MCB solvency ratio
has increased in 2005 which is a good sign.

ADVANCE TO TOTAL DEPOSITS -

It is in favor of bank if this ratio is lower. In 2005 this ratio has increased which is not
good.

PROPRIETY RATIO –

Propriety ratio shows the claims of owners and outsiders on the assets of the firm. Higher
the ratio better for all concerned. In MCB this ratio has increased in 2005 to 5.98%which
is better for the organization.

CASH TO DEPOSIT RATIO –

Cash to deposit ratio is important for banking sector. For MCB it was constant during
previous two years. This ratio shows that how much cash is available to meet the demand
of depositors. The bank should have reasonable cash balances to meet the customer
requirements against their deposits in bank. Ratio was decreased a little bit in 2004. But
in 2005 the ratios has declined to a very dangerous level which should be a matter of
concern for the bank.

RETURN ON DEPOSITS –

When this ratio is higher, it is good for the bank. Return on deposits is increasing which
results in more deposits increasing business opportunities for the bank.

NET PROFIT MARGIN RATIO –

Net profit margin ratio is constantly increasing for the bank which is a good sign for the
bank. This ratio is to show that is the proportion of net profit to the income of the
organization. It gives an idea about the income earning of the bank.

EARNINGS PER SHARE –

This is very important ratio for shareholders and investor. The shareholders and investors
give the main emphasis to the earning per share while making the decision to invest.
Earning per share has increased in 2005 which is very good from the perspective of its
shareholders and investors.

DEBT TO TOTAL ASSET RATIO –

Debt-to-Total Assets indicates the percentage of firm’s assets that are supported by debt
financing. In case of MCB Bank, this ratio is revealing a very large amount of debt duly
accompanied by large expenses of debt servicing. Further, this ratio is more and less
stable in all three years e.g. in 2004, it indicates that for every hundred rupees invested in
the bank, debtors and general creditors are providing 94.3% of return.

DEBT TO EQUITY RATIO –

This ratio indicates the extent to which debt financing is used relative to equity financing.
This ratio is an important ratio as it is a direct comparison of internal and external
financing.

Page 113 of 147


MCB BANK LTD.

DEPOSIT DEPARTMENT –

Bank deals in money and they are merely mobilizing funds within the economy. They
borrow from one person and lend to another, the difference between the rate of borrowing
lending forms their spread or gross profit. Therefore we can rightly state that deposits are
the blood of the bank which causes the body of an institution to get to work. These
deposits are liability of the bank so from point of view of bank we can refer to them as
liabilities.

The total deposits of MCB are growing since its inauguration but after privatization there
is a sharp incline in over all deposits of the bank. The increase in deposits is also a cause
of increase on total number of accounts; bank has progressed in both aspects.

INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCE –

The first task which was assigned to me was ‘accounts opening’. This develops
relationship among the bank and its customer.

Following is the procedure for opening an account –

OPENING OF AN ACCOUNT –

For opening an account, first of all an account opening form is required. This form is an
entry to the banking system through ones deposits in the form of cheques and cash.

MCB BANK LTD.

8.1 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS –

The Bank has now completed more than 15years, since its privatization and it is, indeed,
gratifying to note that during this period, MCB has performed well and has sustained its
growth in all the major sectors.

MCB has been a pioneer among the banks in Pakistan, particularly in introducing a
number of innovative banking products and services. For the first time in the history of
Pakistan, these multifarious products mostly in the shape of saving schemes have been
introduced by MCB with brand names. This has set the trend and many other banks, both
local and foreign, have since followed in MCB’s footsteps, by launching new products
and services, on similar lines. The well deserved credit, for this good performance and
progress, must surely go to the Bank’s management, its Directors and, in no small
measure, to the entire MCB team for its dedication, concerted efforts and excellent team
spirit.

RECOMMENDATIONS –

Today the biggest challenge for banking industry in Pakistan is to retain existing
customers and tap new avenues to capture potential customers. As the spreads are
increasing the emphasis has shifted to high volume of profitable transactions. The key to
achieve this objective lies in dealing with the customers effectively and meeting their
expectations on a continuous basis.

Page 146 of 147


MCB BANK LTD.

This is the transformation of banking from product orientation to customer orientation.


Initially it was believed that banks are in finance industry and not in service industry but
now image has changed .For survival quality is the challenge in this era of cutthroat
competition .high deposits and high profits are not the only source of survival.

So the paradigm shifts customers and services become the life blood of any business.
Change in banking trends demand new type of banking services delivered actually in new
ways and new resources.

Therefore Following are my observations and suggestion to improve the efficiency more
for the development of the economy and improve market standing

• Foreign branches should be opened in order to capture the international


market and to earn international repute for the bank.

• Working environment, equipment, furniture and staff dressing should be


according to the modern banking style.

• Proper attention should be paid to upgrade customer services especially in


rural areas.

• More branches should be automated in order to survive through the cutthroat


competition.

• Employees should be given refresher courses.

• The management should employ job rotation policy to retain the interest of the
employees in job.
