Economic and banking review During the year 2009, our country s trade balance reflects healthy improvement mainly on account of reduced cost of imports. With the International Monetary Fund s Stand-By Arrangement (SBA) and a commitment expressed by the global community to extend monetary aid to Pakistan, the country s foreign exchange reserves have increased significantly, although the rupee continues to depreciate against the dollar. Weakening domestic demand, reduced commodity prices and lower government borrowing from the SBP has also led to a reduction in core inflation. The country s stock exchanges have managed to regain the

investors confidence after dismal look in 2008 and the market index reflects a positive sentiment. Further, remittance inflows from overseas Pakistanis have remained strong which provided positive support to the economy. These factors, as well as several ongoing policy and structural reforms resulted in improvement in Pakistans international ratings by Moody s from Negative to Stable outlook. Although the potential economic crisis has been averted and the economy has stabilized, the country s manufacturing and export activities continue to remain under pressure. Power shortage remains a fundamental detriment to economic growth for which various short and long-term measures are being taken by the government. This is a matter of utmost priority as the rising costs of input needs to be kept under control to compete in the international markets. The economy is also facing severe pressure due to the ongoing war on terror and the rehabilitation of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).

Habib Metropolitan Bank History & Introduction Habib Metropolitan Bank was incorporated in Pakistan as a Public Listed Company in 1992 under the name, Metropolitan Bank Limited. The Bank

Page | 9

commenced, duly licensed, full scheduled commercial-banking operations in October 1992. Metropolitan Bank, from October 1992 to September 2006, remained a highly rated bank and, vide its nationwide 51-branch on-line network, established as a distinguished provider of trade finance services. On October 26, 2006 Habib Bank A G Zurich’s Pakistan Operations merged into Metropolitan Bank Limited and the merged entity was named Habib Metropolitan Bank Limited (HMB). Demonstrating a strong commitment to Pakistan economy, HBZ is the principal shareholder of HMB. HMB operates in all major cities of the country. The Bank ranks within Top 10 in Pakistan with a strong vision to be the most respected Financial Institution. HMB has its primary focus on retail banking and trade finance and also offers highly innovative E-Banking solutions and Consumer Banking to its customers. The Bank’s Islamic Banking Division is fully capable of catering to customers seeking Shariah compliant products. The HBZ Group is heir to a rich tradition of banking and commerce dating back to more than 160 years. The group’s flagship and HMB’s principal, HBZ (incorporated 1967) enjoys International ranking of 687 in terms of capital. With Headquarters in Switzerland, the HBZ Group also operates in Hong Kong, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, Kenya, South Africa, United Kingdom and North America. The Pakistan Credit Rating Agency (PACRA) has allotted both long-term and short-term ratings of Habib Metropolitan Bank Limited at “AA+” (Double A plus) and “A1+” (A one plus), respectively.

PACRA MAINTAINS RATINGS OF HABIB METROPOLITAN BANK LTD. (HMB) The Pakistan Credit Rating Agency (PACRA) has maintained the long-term and short-term entity ratings of Habib Metropolitan Bank Ltd. at “AA+” (Double A plus) and “A1+” (A one plus) respectively. These ratings denote a very low expectation of credit risk emanating from a very strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments.The ratings reflect the strong position of the bank in its respective niche – self-liquidating trade finance to corporate and SMEs. While consolidating its strength, the management continues to focus on product innovation, enhanced reach through network expansion, and technology up-gradation for ensuring quality services to its customers, thereby retaining its relative positioning in the face of intensifying competition within the sector. The bank continues to maintain outstanding asset quality – an outcome of conservative risk appetite as well as effective risk management. The ratings also take into account the bank’s association with a geographically diversified international sponsoring group – Habib Bank AG Zurich (HBZ). About the bank: HMB, commencing operations in 1992, is listed on all bourses of Pakistan. Subsequent to recent merger, the bank is a 51% owned subsidiary of HBZ, incorporated in Switzerland.

A highly professional team of senior executives including the executive director, who has emerged as the key professional in evolving the bank’s strategy as well as its implementation, assists the chief executive.The primary function of PACRA is to evaluate the capacity and willingness of an entity to honor its obligations. Our ratings reflect an independent, professional and impartial assessment of the risks associated with a particular instrument or an entity.PACRA’s comprehensive offerings include instrument and entity credit ratings, insurer financial strength ratings, fund ratings, asset manager ratings and real estate grading.

RISK MANAGEMENT Credit risk: The HMB strategy is to minimize credit risk through a strong predisbursement credit analysis, approval and risk measurement process added with product, geography and customer diversification. The Bank, as its strategic preference, provides loans only to strong parties. Major portion of the Bank credit portfolio is Textile industry (54%) which is highly profitable business in Pakistan but it may riskier and not a good diversification of portfolio, if textile industry slump then it will crash the whole bank. The bank has very low rate of Non-performing loans. The ratios of risks are as under and we can see that they reduce the risk as per their objective.

Market Risk: Market risk is the possibility that fluctuation in interest rates, foreign exchange or stock prices will change the market value of financial products leading to a loss. The HMB has formalized liquidity and market risk management policies which contain action plans to strengthen the market risk management system.

Foreign Exchange Risk: Foreign Exchange Risk is the probability of loss resulting from adverse movement is exchange rates. The HMB is not in the business of actively trading and market making activities but a conservative risk approach and the Bank’s business strategy to work with export oriented (Textile) client’s gives the ability to meet its foreign exchange needs.

Interest rate risk:

Page | 58

Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of the financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in the market interest rates. The HMB’s interest rate exposure is low due to the short-term nature of the majority of business transactions. Interest rate risk is also controlled through flexible credit pricing mechanism and variable deposit rates.

Liquidity risk: HMB manages the liquidity position on a continuous basis. The Bank’s liquidity position is based on “self reliance” with a wide branch network to expand the Bank deposit base. The Bank’s liquidity profile generally consists of short-term, secured assets, in line with the Bank’s credit strategy.

RECOMMENDATIONS



Diversify the portfolio

Page | 59



Introduction of new products/services in the market



Hire new management



Give importance to all customers



Increase the branches all over the country



Improve standard of banking



Start advertisement as soon as possible

Conclusion ➢ Major factors like global financing disorder, economic slowdown and strict monetary policy were on the top but Pakistan bank caters all these problems. HMB is one of the top ten banks it is expected to play a major role in pioneering these newer markets. ➢ Currently, the banking sector is facing two major problems. The first one is the decline in credit demand due to slowdown in the economic activities due to poor law and order situation, power crisis, inflationary pressure, and high interest rates. The other problem is the mounting amount of NPLs (non-performing loans). With the exception of a few banks all the banks are exhibiting considerable rise in NPLs. These two issues are collectively dampening the banking sector s performance.

Page | 60

➢ HMB offers branch banking,e-banking,consumer banking

international banking and also offers Islamic banking to facilitate their cutomers

➢ At year-end, HMB s equity stands at Rs 18.9 billion at a comfortable

11.9% capital adequacy level against the required 10%. ➢ The credit ratings denote a very high credit quality, a very low

expectation of credit risk and a very strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments.
