Interest spread, the difference between what a bank
earns on its assets and what it pays on its liabilities It has been on an upward trend during the last few years An increase in the interest spread implies that either the depositor or the borrower or both stand to loose If the increase in spread is due to lower return to depositors then this discourages savings; alternatively if it is due to higher charge on loans, investment decisions are affected Determinants of interest spread Market structure of the industry Bank specific factors Macroeconomic variables Financial regulations.

It started out in Lahore by the name Australasia
Bank before independence in 1942 It was renamed Allied Bank of Pakistan Limited in 1974 and then Allied Bank Limited in 2005 It offers universal banking services, while placing major emphasis on retail banking Largest network of over 700 online branches in Pakistan Likely causes of high spread in ABL: These are the following reasons for high IRS: lack of adequate competition scale diseconomies due to small size of markets, high fixed and operating costs high transportation costs of funds due to expensive telecommunications existence of regulatory controls perceived market risks These factors lead to high intermediation costs, which result in high spread Small borrowers with no property rights have no collateral to offer. As such, they are perceived as high risk borrowers The latter encompasses maintenance of law and order and provision of basic transport and social infrastructure, all impinging on security, a lack of which has been found to be a cause for high transaction costs resulting in large intermediation costs Particularly in ABL, excess liquidity, reflecting poor investment climate and scarcity of bankable projects, has been identified to be responsible for high IRS In the absence of any secondary market for government bonds and other securities, the public is left with no option but to keep their savings as bank deposits. Because of surplus funds, deposit mobilization does not require any serious effort on the part of the bank. Consequently, deposit interest rates have remained low. Customers denied with their real right. Factors adding to Spread
There are five basic sources which widen the
interest spread in ABL. These are: Administrative Cost Loan Loss Provisioning Tax Payments after Tax Profit Margin Administrative cost
This comprises wages and salaries and housekeeping
costs, besides the newly emerging costs due to introduction of innovations. The latter involves computerization, installation of ATM machines and debit card facilities and their annual operation. In fact, one of the offshoots of innovations is the rise in wage cost. ABL is now employing more qualified and skilled persons. Although computerization has enabled retrenchment of clerical staff, higher salaries for technically qualified persons have given rise to higher wage bills. Tax payments
Direct taxes, being the dominant item in this
category, affect the spread positively. If taxation is imposed on accrued basis as opposed to actually received interest, it will be higher, as it overstates taxable profits and understates the level of taxation. Accounting tax profit margin
This term refers to after tax profit, which is
arrived at after netting out operating costs including administrative costs, interest paid out on deposits, additional loan provisioning amounts provided each year and tax payments, from total income derived which includes interest income as well as non interest income. This would also depend upon how accounts are drawn and finalized. Loan loss provisioning
Adequate level of loan loss provisioning is
considered necessary, since current recessionary conditions have been resulting in an increase in non-performing loans in ABL. Competition
Lack of competition in the banking sector
allows banks to maintain high spreads and extract above normal profits. Customers have to pay this in the form of high interest spread to ABL and every bank. Macroeconomic Factors
Real GDP growth generally affects the
banking spread by influencing the credit risk factor The liquidity position of the banking sector and monetary policy changes affect the variability of interest rates interest rate volatility increases during the transition periods and positively affects the banking spread Deposits Structure
In general, the deposit structure of the Allied Bank is considered
to be an important determinant of banking spread. Allied Bank has the discretion to revise the indicative rates on PLS deposits disclosed at the time of accepting the deposit. The distribution of deposits by types of accounts also provides useful information in understanding the deposit structure of the bank. Research indicates that the share of fixed deposits in total deposits was around 25 percent at end-June 2006, and a large portion of these fixed deposits fall in the category of less than six months maturity. The greater share of short term deposits also contribute towards low deposit rates as the return on these deposits is lower than fixed deposits of longer maturity.

Interpretation
High interest spread deals with Lending and
Deposits The trend of lending is not going to a right side 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008
105.3% 37.6% 124.0% 119.9% 102.8%
These figures does not show a good condition
the trend of lending is changing every year in ABL. Now the second thing in the affair of interest rate spread is “Deposits” 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008
110.7% 141.3% 180.4% 231.1% 260.4%
These above figure shows the increasing trend
in deposits every year in ABL. Overall, the trend analysis shows the exploitation of the customers in ABL. The lending in ABL is declining year by year while deposits are remain at reasonable figure. conclusion
The customers are really exploited by banks.
ABL is also exploiting the customers by keeping a major difference in interest rates of lending and borrowings. Interest rate spread is like a lending indicator as well. The increase in spread has an adverse bearing upon the effectiveness of bank lending channel of monetary policy and has therefore important implications for the economy Recommendations
The reduction in the discount rate by the State Bank
of Pakistan is necessary. It might be led to the decrease in banking spread by 17 percent or more Banks should review their interest rate policies at collective terms Other areas of cost-cutting are through innovations that will reduce the cost of delivery of bank’s products. It is expected that gains from banking efficiency and other financial system reforms will reduce spreads Incomes derived by banks from other sources decrease the spread. The non-interest income is derived mainly through fees and charges levied on loans and other transactions, and income from foreign exchange businesses. ABL must explore the idea of infrastructure sharing to improve efficiency and reduce cost of operations Competition should be increased in the banking sector Thanks !!!
