History of banking Industry in paktistan

After the partiotion of the country theres was no bank inintially, so the gap was filled by the Habib bank
which was established in 1941, in 1948 the State bank is formed but the rols of state bank is limited. The
inintially aim of state bank is to regulize commercial banks because at that time state bank account for
only 25 banks out of 195 bank branches in the country. The Habib, Aliied and national bank were the
founding ally of the state bank.

After 1970, The nationalism policy of the Bhutto were favorable for the commercial banks but on the
other hand nationalism policy become the root cause of corruption in Pakistan, this policy were purely
based on nepotism and favoritism for the specific race, thirteen banks were become nationalized under
this policy of now consolidated to 6 banks. The banking council was made and state bank become
regulator of all commercial banks in Pakistan.

The consequences of national policy by Bhutto were now started to happen after 1980 after commercial
banks were used to support politician, big business man and CEO’s, billion of rupees were flashed from
the market as bad debts. Now we can see the objective of government behind this policy and this was
only one consequence we discussed.

In 1991, The national policy was amended and 23 new banks were entered in market. And most of the
banks become privatized like allied bank privatized in 1993, and MCB in 1991. But still state owned 4
banks, these banks were facing fierce competition from private commercial banks.

After 1997, The privatization become weaker when reformational policy established restoring the power
of central banks and state bank regulate the banks.

In 2008, NPL (non-performing loan) rate is increasing due to financial crisis and the loan which ere given
to the business with no credit history are now defaulting, hence it needs a strong regulation to control
the scenario.

Now days top five banks of Pakistan cover almost 50% of the financial sector in Pakistan. Finally, the
movement of financial liberalization is seeing in the country banks are making different financial model
to innovate in financial sector. Like cashless or online banking. The emergence of microfinance banks
makes the industry more efficient.

COMPETITION IN BANKING INSDUSTRY

After the privatization of banks industry in 1991, The commercial banking is industry in booming and
hence the market is becoming more saturated,now there is cut throat competition between banks in
Pakistan, however there is some big banks like Habib banks which cover large majority of user, but the
banks in Pakistan are in comaptition which gives advantage to the consumer, every bank is trying to take
edge by providing more value to the customer such as free chequebook or internet banking and hence

How International Monetary Exchange work

Like every other market, the market of international currency exchange also works on the principle of
supply and demand.

An increase in demand may exert pressure in the currency to go higher and shortage of supply also favor
the currency to go higher in this situation a buyer have to pay more for the same amount currency, for
example you have to pay 100 rupees in for one dollar in 2017 but now you have to pay 160 rupee for the
same one dollar.

Exchange rate on import or export

The exchange rate no doubt directly affect the price and quantity of the import or export. For example,
if you want to import bike from America, in 2017 the bike price was $10,000 when dollar was Rs100 and
now in 2020 assume bike price did not change but dollar is inflated at Rs 160, you have to pay 60 ruppes
for the same price and same quantity.
