Banking Sector Overview
Pakistan’s banking and finance sector grew by over 21 percent from July 2004-
March 2005 amid the eight percent expansion in the services sector in Pakistan.
In just four years the banking industry has expanded tremendously and now
there are more than two dozen commercial and investment banks operating in
the country. Commercial banks in the private sector had performed well since
their inception, registering overall growth in the deposit base and profits. The
banks also managed to maintain a healthy credit portfolio.
Foreign banks have a strong presence in all major cities and are targeting high
net worth individuals and blue chip companies. Their strategy is quite successful
as they account for about 34 percent of total sector profits, despite having only
15 percent of deposits and 16 percent of advances.
During the first six months of the ongoing fiscal year, total assets of all the
scheduled banks increased by Rs 239 billion. Total assets grew by 8.5 percent
from Rs 2,800 billion in June 2004 to Rs 3,039 billion in Dec 2004. During the
first six months of 2004-05, there was also an increase of Rs 277 billion in the net
advances of the scheduled banks. Net advances grew by 19.3 percent from Rs
1,437 billion in June 2004 to Rs 1,714 billion in Dec 2004.
Advance and deposit increased to Rs. 156 billion and Rs. 241 billion reflecting a
growth of 14% and 10% respectively. Additionally the bank’s assets expanded by
16% during the half year ended 2005 and crossed Rs. 300 billion marks.
Bank’s equity (capital and reserves) increased by 41% during the half year,
which was due to the issue of right shares and retained earnings. Increase in
equity would improve the lending limit and would provide the opportunity for
significant growth of the bank’s balance sheet. This would also help to meet the
capital requirement under Basel Accord II, which will be effective from 2007.

MCB Master Card
Since the beginning of time, people have tried to find more convenient ways to
pay, from gold to paper money and cheques. Today, money is moving away from
distinct hard currencies and towards universal payment products that transcend
national borders, time zones, and, with the Internet, even physical space. Plastic
or "virtual" money, credit, debit, and electronic cash products, inevitably will
replace cash and cheques as the money of the future.
MCB Rupee Traveler's Cheques were first introduced in 1993 as safe cash for
traveling and travel related purposes. The product has been extremely popular
and is preferred over cash by customers while traveling and in all walks of life.

MCB also had the privilege of being the first Bank in Pakistan to launch the
comprehensive bill payment facility through its alternate delivery channels which
include Internet Banking, ATMs and MCB Call Centre, currently with six payment
partners. Similarly, the Bank also took initiatives to increase the usage of debit
facility. To provide timely and updated information, MCB has also provided a new
look to its website which is user friendly and considerably easy to browse.
The Islamic Banking initiative has been very successful in attracting new
customer, both individuals and companies. Similarly, those relationships, which
were confined only to current account facility, have grown into stronger business
relationships. The branch network was expanded to Lahore and Multan during
the last year and recently been extended to Hyderabad and Faisalabad. The
Bank plans to further expand its Islamic Banking branch network to other
metropolitan areas and also to introduce new sharia compliant banking solutions
to a wider range of customers for satisfying their individual and business needs.
Some wide-ranging new strategic initiatives were also taken up which will be
important for the Bank in years to come. A private company has been formed in
Hong Kong (fully owned subsidiary of MCB) in partnership with Standard
Chartered Bank, handling trade transactions of select countries in the Asia-
Pacific region. It is projected to earn US$ 1 million in its first year of operations.
To increase its international presence, the Bank will be opening its representative
office in Dubai and entering into major strategic alliances with banks in the UAE/
especially for marketing our consumer banking products to non-resident
Pakistanis. Furthermore, feasibility is also being carried out for entering other
international markets.
Management of Human Resources has been one of our core focus areas. MCB
is committed towards attracting, retaining and motivating outstanding people.
Challenge for MCB is to provide an environment in which employees can better
realize their potential. The Bank introduced 'reward for performance' where high
potential officers were identified and rewarded accordingly. In view of the
competitive environment, the Bank is focusing on performance and introducing a
more robust performance management system. MCB is also strongly committed
to training its staff at all levels.
The Bank will also be implementing the full suite of the latest version of
SYMBOLS Version 8. MCB Bank will run SYMBOLS eFinance modules to deliver
personalized services to its customers over multiple delivery channels, while
SYMBOLS Enterprise Operations Center will serve as its core banking
transaction-processing engine. By implementing SYMBOLS, MCB Bank aims to
raise the level of its customer service and its time to market in new product
offerings for its three core banking businesses in Corporate, Commercial and
Consumer Banking - retaining its market leadership as Pakistan's progressive
Bank.
