SWOT Analysis is the most important part of the report, because it depends
on my personal observation. Only a good, keen and comprehensive analysis
leads to good recommendations for the improvement of the existing
conditions. Therefore in NBP I have observed many things and I have
analyzed them to the best of my efforts & knowledge. Through the technique
of “SWOT” one can analyze the present performance conditions of a given
organization and its weaknesses. Also the opportunities it can grab in the
external environment and the threats it faces. This technique serves as a base
for sound conclusion and recommendations.
STRENGTHS
1. Serving as an Agent:
National Bank of Pakistan Circular Road Branch serves as an agent of State
Bank of Pakistan. No other bank is allowed to do the Clearing task but NBP
act on the behalf of SBP the clearing task.
2 No of Branches:
Strength of NBP is that there are 1183 branches in Pakistan and 16 branches
in overseas of NBP. So NBP staff members are scattered on the land of
Pakistan and World to provide benefits and serve the people.
WEAKNESSES
1. Delegation of Authority:
National Bank of Pakistan to great extent is a centralized bank. The manager
of the Circular Road Branch has very limited authority, especially in case of
advances. Lack of delegation of authority creates problems and when the
manager is not present in his office and customers have to wait for many
hours. There is top to bottom flow of authority and lower level of employees
cannot participate in the decision making process. The top level of the
organization takes all the decision. This completely centralized decision-
making decreases the interest and also reduces efficiency of the bank.
3. Job Rotation:
Most of the employees work in a particular department and they specialize
only in one department. In case of absence of one employee, any other
employee cannot perform this work. In this way bank not only loses the
business but also results in dissatisfaction of the customer.
6. Lack of Discipline:
14.Political Interference:
Banks are not free from political influences. Due to political pressures on the
management for sanctioning the loans in favor of their political persons
resulted in huge amount of bad debts because in this way the bank is unable
to recover the loan very difficult, and these loans are not used for productive
purposes.
1. Financing
Now a day’s people have enough savings and they want some luxurious
type’s products such as Car, House and Business etc. So the opportunity for
2. Modernization:
Another opportunity for NBP is to modernize itself because all other banks
have best methodologies to compete others and market there products. As I
know that NBP have not enough modernize system to be compatible with
other banks.
3. Strong Competition:
As we know that today’s era is the era of competition. In all the banks are
involved in struck competition so; it is an opportunity for NBP to develop a
strong marketing policies and campaign to further develop itself.
THREATS:
1. Other Banks
The major threat for NBP is other banks that have started function in such as
Bank Alfalah, MCB, HBL, UBL, ABL, PICIC, Khyber Bank etc. These are
2. Political Interference:
Banks are not free from political influences. Due to political pressures on the
management for sanctioning the loans in favor of their political persons
resulted in huge amount of bad debts because in this way the bank is unable
to recover the loan very difficult, and these loans are not used for productive
purposes.

bank is custodian of deposited money, therefore, it is of utmost importance to
keep a chronological record, further more, the banks are commercial
institutions therefore, the records of all incomes and expenditure are kept
