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 BankHistory & Introduction

Habib Metropolitan Bank was incorporated in Pakistan as a Public Listed Company in 1992 under the name, Metropolitan Bank Limited. The Bank 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. These ratings, being the highest amongst the local sector Private Banks, denote a very low expectation of credit risk emanating from a very strong capacity for timely payment of financial commitments.

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. HBZ, with consolidated assets of above US$6bln, has operations in eight countries directly and through subsidiaries. This provides inherent strength to the bank given high credibility and standing of HBZ. The Chief Executive of the bank is a former Governor of the State Bank and also a former president of Habib Bank Limited, one of the largest banks in the country. 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.

PACRA’s opinion is not a recommendation to purchase, sell or hold a security, in as much as it does not comment on the security’s market price or suitability for a particular investor.

Page | 45

Page 46: HABIB METROPOLITAN BANK (Ltd)

Continuous growth in ROE. The bank’s management realizes the necessity of existence of effective

internal controls to ensure smooth operations in the current technical and swift business environment.

Loyal management. The bank has efficient and experienced management making

significant. Credit rating in long-term “AA+” and in the short term “A1+”. The financial statements, prepared by the management of the bank

present fairly the state of affairs. Loans are given only to known, reputable clients to avoid chances of

fraud. Very low nonperforming loan. Effectively handled the current economic recession. Bank is continuously focusing on developing new and innovative

products to attract their target market. Strong customer relationship. Asset utilization is very good.

conflicts after merger. Compromises upon polices to keep customers happy. Old Management. (No creativity) No further growth in branches. Majority of shares are owned by the one family. Low consumer finance. Less job satisfaction of employees. Customers facing problem of NADRA verification while opening their

accounts because its process is time consuming. Promoting generally on seniority basis. Attitude of senior manager at head office has to change towards junior

staff.

segment.

Page | 46

Page 47: HABIB METROPOLITAN BANK (Ltd)

The year 2010 will prove to be another demanding year for the bank with scattered. Diversification, innovation and mission driven approach are the key to success which bank should adopt.

Progressive but cautious business expansion with strategic branch network extension and introduction of innovative products in all areas of business. Branch network need extension.

Should emphasize much on e-banking. Profit margin will be good. The bank being Swiss incorporated, it bank follows dual banking

regulation i.e of Pakistan as well as Switzer-land which attracts foreign investors.

SBP policy to allow Islamic Banking business separately. Bank introduces Islamic banking in country that attracts large number of

people. Greater profitability can be achieved through strong internal control. New schemes for deposits and finances should be introduced regularly. Opportunity to open branch in ruler area to increase its branch network

and gain more profit.

THREATS:

Adverse impact of “Credit Crisis” can badly effect on HMB. Facing a strong competition by its competitors. High reliability on only

one market segment i.e. Textile. (54%) Inconsistency in government policies. Increasing competition in the banking sector. Entry of many foreign

banks. Strict policies of the State Bank of Pakistan. Geopolitical condition of country. Global liquidity crisis has constrained banks to stop lending. Current economic crunch. Political instability. Rising deposit rates. Foreign banks in market having more marketing budgets. People losing trust in banks. Decline in private and public sector credit due to tight monetary policy.

RISK MANAGEMENTCredit risk:

Page | 49

Page 50: HABIB METROPOLITAN BANK (Ltd)

The HMB strategy is to minimize credit risk through a strong pre-disbursement 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:

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

Page | 50

Page 51: HABIB METROPOLITAN BANK (Ltd)

Diversify the portfolio

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

Page | 51

Page 52: HABIB METROPOLITAN BANK (Ltd)

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.

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.
