CHAPTER NO 1 Introduction

1.1 Background Access to financial markets is seen as a precursor to growth and development. In Pakistan, much like the rest of the developing world, the cash impoverished, financially unsound, strata of the population is left rather wanting. Deemed too risky; a significant proportion of the Pakistani populace remains un-served by formal institutional players of the countrys burgeoning financial markets. The Pakistani financial landscape has evolved considerably over the past two decades (2002). The 1990s brought sweeping reforms: nationalized commercial banks (NCBs) were wrested away from state control and put into the hands of the market; also, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) was given precedence over the Pakistan Banking Council, having been made the sole the supervisory banking authority (Burki responsible & Niazi, for regulating sector 2003).

Resultantly, state owned banks that previously controlled 92% of total banking assets (as per 1990 estimates) lost significant ground and saw their share of the market shrink by approximately 1/4thto 70% by 2000s end (Burki & Niazi, 2003); this figure now rests at less than 20% as per recent SBP reports. Unconstrained access to formal, and semi-formal, sources of funds is seen as imperative to the developmental goals of countries. Vatta (2003) underlines the role credit plays in

individuals the opportunities to: invest in capital, both human and social, insure themselves against external shocks by building a diverse asset base, and profiting from lucrative economic propositions as and when they present themselves. Formal credit institutions however have largely failed the poor. Informal lenders are the primary source of funding for the large segments of low-income economic actors in the developing world. The concerned authorities however seem to be taking note of the unsustainable nature, and the discriminating effects of current practices. The SBP recently, in association with the Department for International Development (DFID), initiated the Financial Inclusion Program (FIP) to help extend the financial markets reach, and reign in the formally ostracized via innovation, education of the masses regarding financial matters, capacity building, and research and its consequent institutionalization (PMN, 2008).

1.2 Problem Identification Poverty is one of the main causes of low economic

development in developing countries and people are compled to lead a miserable life below the poverty line. There is a substantial portion of the population of the developing countries which are living below the line and thus trap in the vicious circle of poverty. The concerned authorities however seem to be taking note of that situation and formulating policies which address the issue of poverty. The microfinance is one of the suggested solutions which shows its benefit and fruitfulness in many developing countries like Bangladesh. In Pakistan microfinance institutions are also operational but the matter of concern for this literature is that are the microfinance institutions are efficient enough to address the issue or this situation is going adverse The due SBP to inefficiency in of microfinance with the institutions. recently, association

Given the recent increase in the frequency and magnitude of disasters the world over there seems to be an apparent fatigue setting in amongst donors and donor organizations. Its all come to the oft-repeated economic principle of too little resources relative to continually amassing needs. Resultantly microfinance providers, much like the rest of their economic counterparts, have to largely depend upon their performance to attract much needed funding. Nieto et al. seem (2007) however are right the in stating how traditional of affairs; approaches of assessing performance of institutions does not compatible with current state especially that pertaining to microfinance service providers

1.4 Research Question

Are the microfinance institutes in Pakistan efficient? The efficiency of microfinance institutes is vital to achieve the objectives of microfinance in country. Do the factors such as, utilization of assets, operational efficiency in terms of cost, profitability & capital structure have direct impact on the sustainability & efficiency of microfinance institutions? Stock price in the market is one of the tools for determining the confidence which is directly related to the profitability & efficiency of institutions.

1.5 Rationale of the Study The study will provide knowledge regarding the efficiency of the microfinance institutions in Pakistan. The efficiency of microfinance institutions is vital in order to achieve the objective of microfinance in Pakistan. The prime objective of microfinance is poverty reduction in the country which can only be ensured if the providing institutions are efficient. This study also provides information about the effectiveness of microfinance in Pakistan so it gives information about multiple dimensions of microfinance in Pakistan.

1.6

Objectives of the Research

The objectives of this study are to determine the overall performance of micro finance institutes (MFIs) in Pakistan, identify the operational efficiency. The study also

establishes the link between the stock price, operation efficiency and capital structure. It will determine the most efficient institution among the sample. IT analyzes the (MFIs) individually among the variables.

1.7 Limitations Similar to other studies, this study is not without its restrictions. Our sample process consists of four micro finance institutes may bound the generalisability of the

outcome. The study can be strengthened by raising the sample size as a finding and result may differ considerably when the sample size is increased or decreased. As only few micro finance institutions may not represent whole MFIs in Pakistan, more MFIs would create a more diffused results and findings. Finally, more variables can also be included in the theoretical framework can be caused by many different aspects of the MFIs.

1.8 Scope of the Research The research analyzes the impact of total revenue, total debt, total assets and operating expenses on the share price of micro finance banks in Pakistan. The research is

descriptive in nature and collection of data from secondary and reliable sources. Thus this study process guide and help the micro finance institutes for future dealings.

Dependent Variable The study uses the econometric model based which establishes the relation between the stock price & other financial indicators so stock price is the dependent variable in the stock market. The investors feel confidence on investing in the MFI if its performance is adequate in the market.

1.10 Definition of terms Financial Revenue The amount of money a company earns through the sale of goods or services, rents, and other sources. Revenue is the amount the company makes; it should not be confused with profit, which is revenue less expenses. Likewise, it should not be confused with cash flow, as revenue can be money owed but not yet paid.

Total assets are everything that a business or an individual owns. For a company, total assets are listed on a balance sheet. These assets are valued based on their purchase prices, not the current market value of the assets. Assets typically can be converted from a physical item into cash. The ease in which an asset can be turned into money is known as liquidity. Assets can take various forms, ranging from real estate and investment securities to equipment and inventory. Cash also contributes to the sum of assets.

Total debt Total debt includes long term debt and current liabilities. Investors can find it listed on the balance sheet in a companys annual report. A companys total debt is an important component in the total debt-equity ratio, an indicator of a companys equipment payments load. debt that level. will Debt can be a good Too If tool much a for a corporation.

CHAPTER NO 2 Literature Review


The microfinance literature geared at assessing the

performance of the institutions seems to differ due to many of the reasons such as literacy, accessibility & demography etc. Two competing schools of thought are diverse from one another and can be categorized as the Welfarists and the Institutionists al., 2004) as (Brau the and Woller, 2004). Sustainability, to generate by Meyer the of formal defined by Chaves and Gonzales-Vega (as cited in Nieto et institutions which since is ability sufficient funds so as to meet the opportunity costs of utilizing (2002) an all of inputs, MFIs also when explained seen access important markets concept through from to lines

As documented by Meyer (2002) financial self-sufficiency is a difficult measure to achieve since it requires MFIs to generate additional revenues to build reserves to both sustain/drive growth, and help cushion against contingencies that may arise in the future. Also, becoming financially self-sufficient adeptness in entails the achieving and a certain level of of reporting recording company

Sustainability and outreach, as previously alluded, however are seen to be two conflicting objectives with the rift between the two driven by informational asymmetries and high transaction costs they entail (Mosley and Hulme, 1996). Welfarists empathize with the programs social objectives concerning the economic upliftment, and development of its clients, and promote the use of subsidized debt and donors funds to achieve to a this purpose of by extending at financial low cost services large number applicants,

(Ejigu, 2009). Institutionists however, emphasize upon the unreliability of donor funds and thus promote extending services to clients at high cost i.e. at near market rates, prevailing in highly lucrative informal markets all over the developing world, so as to achieve the financial sustainability required to attract competitively priced commercial financing necessary for growth and perpetuity (Ejigu, 2009). Recently, more and more research is being conducted in an attempt to evaluate the ability of MFPs in utilizing their resources in a manner as to arrive at optimum levels of output in other words, the textbook definition of, efficiency. The efficiency of financial institutions has long been a matter of concern for researchers and policy makers alike. Farrell argued that information regarding the productivity and efficient operations of a firm is necessary to ascertain how performance can be improved by optimizing output while making no additions to present input reserves (as cited in Cook and Seiford, 2009).

productivity analysis is centered around measuring average factor productivity usually appropriate for single inputoutput firms, whereas what todays management decisions are concerned with is assessing total factor productivity consistent with multiple input-output firms. Consequently, a seemingly large number of studies have busied themselves with evaluating similar performance regions measures rather than for for intermediaries operating across

specific countries; studies by Bassem (2008), Fiordelisi, Marques, Ibanez, and Molyneux (2010), Haq et al. (2009), Nieto et al. (2004) can be cited as reference points. Berger studies evaluate across obtained 21 and Humphrey (1997) and present an analysis of 130 to

Efficient firms are seen to lie on the said frontier whereas their inefficient counterparts are enveloped by the frontier and thus lie below it; efficient firms are resultantly given a score of 1 while others waver between 0 and 1(Ramanathan, 2003).

Microfinance should be about establishing long lasting local financial institute to better serve the society. Robinson (2001) has claimed in his literature that most institutes who provide subsidized loan mostly fail to survive for long time. Even though the successful institutions who are providing subsidized loan can meet only the small portion of
18

the aggregate demand for the microfinance and also it is not possible for the donors to provide fund for the long period, Woller (1999). The profitability approach focuses on the mobilization of savings and financial sustainability by commercial means. It is market oriented and financial deepening approach in which extreme poor are excluded from the microfinance program and social well being of the society is the by-product. Rhyne (1998) proclaims that access to microfinance institutes in a sustainable way is more important the poverty alleviation. Some of the successful and best institutions based on this approach are Bank of Rakyat Indonesia, BancoSol in Bolivia and Association for Social Advancement Bangladesh. are This approach is promoted worldwide and CGAP found that 5% of worldwide microfinance institutions financially sustainable, while IMF claims that it is only 1%.

Arguments regarding levels, the success of of the microfinance inability to have been countered by heavy criticism regarding unchanging poverty exploitation women, effectively cater to target groups, loan re-payment and high interest rates, Dignard and Havet (1995), Christen (1997), Brau and Woller (2004).

Amin at el (2003) focus their editorial on the capability of microfinance to reach poor and helpless. They focus their literature on the grounds that microfinance credit is available only to the poor who are slightly above and below the poverty line.

Evans et al (1999) approaches the microfinance in different aspect and check the viability of microfinance as the important tool of poverty alleviation. Kabeer (2001) focus the role of microfinance on the women empowerment. Kandker (1998) concluded that microfinance is an important tool that of it poverty is alleviation in in the Bangladesh. settings Robinson than (2001) promotes the view of Kandker (1998) with addition applicable national other Bangladesh. Younus (1999) recalled how he had to struggle to convince the eligible women to accept credit. In Pakistan many microfinance programs charge very low rates in comparison to the many other countries of the world due the main aim is to alleviate poverty, DIFD (2006), this reveals that these institutions are not sustainable and are running on heavy subsidized donations. This makes it extremely important to develop such a microfinance program which is more sustainable as well as it charge as much as low rate as possible so that maximum strength of the poor

can get benefit. Poverty is definitely a grave concern for Pakistan and the government has selected microfinance as a vital tool for the poverty alleviation (Ministry of Finance, 2003) which is more effective when it is designed as per the cultural or regional requirements.

furnish low cost, convenient, and effective credit to the nations poor. Currently, as outlined in Rauf and Mahmood (2009), three different microfinance models are operative in the country, namely: Microfinance Banks (MFBs), NGO-MFIs, and FY10 Rural and Support managed to Programs grow by (RSPs). 13% and These 40% microfinance and providers (MFPs) reached a total of 2 million borrowers in in credit savings outreach, respectively (MicroWatch, 2010). The social and economic viability of microfinance operations have led conventional commercial financial intermediaries to scope out the scene and add small borrowers to their list of potential customers ORIX leasing, and the National Bank of Pakistans (NBPs) Rozgaar Scheme program both offer their services to meet the needs of these high-risk patrons, heretofore financial pariahs for some (PMN, 2010; Rauf & Mahmood, 2009). MFPs of MFPs in order to increase the quality ensuring funding the and quantity of and these funding

required from different sources for these institutions to evolve into commercially sustainable entities; as per their findings MFPs need to wean themselves off donor capital and generate higher (voluntary) deposits and attract additional financing from commercial investors to achieve the elusive status of commercially sustainable ventures. Afghanistan and Pakistan are seen to rely primarily on donor financing, with the Pakistani MFPs now moving to seek funds from apex organizations on a subsidized basis; whereas Indian MFPs tap

The remaining NGO-MFIs and RSPs generate funds via donor reserves, and subsidized debt: which makes up 70% of the institutions total debt profile; given the high prevailing rates of interest, in excess of 12% (KIBOR), and a lack of incentives for increased institutional investment commercial debt is expected to be maintained at its current low levels (PMN, 2010). Given their considerable scope for growth it is essential that Pakistani MFPs raise additional and financing to effectively leverage their equity attract commercial

funding via providing for improved transparency to ensure access to greater, cheaper financing which in turn would facilitate these institutions to become self-sufficient and profitable ventures (World Bank, 2005). The financial & economic experts argue that the microfinance institutions are efficient if they are able to address the issue of poverty reduction in the country. The efficiency of microfinance institutions can also be determined through establishing the link between the share price & some vital
23

factors specific to the institutions which have direct link with the movement of the stock price (Kandker, 1998). This current study focuses on the efficiency of the microfinance institutions through establishing the relation between the stock price of the company & other companys specific financial indicators.

CHAPTER NO 3 Research Methodology


3.1 Sample This chapter explains & discusses the ways through which efficiency of the microfinance institutions can be determined. The study is empirical as it is based on the facts & figures published under the financial reporting and statutory obligations.

Data Typically for influence analysis, ground level studies and panel data were recommended so that researcher could incarcerate the secular impact and trend of the intervention and could compare the preceding and future scenarios. But unluckily, many of the Microfinance Institutes (MFIs) or
24

researchers do not have recommended data and manage with the cross-sectional data at one point in time. Microfinance institutions which were included in this study work in urban and as well as in rural areas but their main focus were in urban areas. The larger proportion of their work is in the main urban centers such Lahore and Karachi and their suburbs. The problem aroused in selecting the control groups and localities as there are approximately more than 95000 thousand borrows in Lahore with more than 70 offices of microfinance institutes as with Karachi and some other urban centers with continuous increase in the number of offices of MFIs. Hence, the knowledge and accessibility of microfinance in these centers was vast. This made it difficult to such areas which were unexposed to microfinance. In that scenario, an effort was made to find control areas where microfinance was not persistent so that can be calculated precisely as much as possible. Only those MFIs were selected for this study who met the criteria. The criteria was that MFIs had at least three years of work experience in the field of microfinance and had a sound business plan for at least next three years and had a portfolio of at least 2200 active borrowers and have conducted annual audit for last three years and last but not the least who were willing to participate in this social impact assessment study.

3.2 Instruments and measures The study uses of the ordinary least of square (OLS) for the

(MFIs). The ordinary least square regression use multiple independent variables and with the dependent variable so that relation between the dependent and multiple independent variables can be established. For the current study this is the relation which determines the efficiency of the microfinance institutions.

This studys choice of independent and dependent variables are seen to be consistent with both the production and intermediation approaches. Microfinance institutions however differ from other financial and depository institutions in the fact that a majority of them are seen to focus on the micro-credit Pakistans aspect case, are of microfinance by and most, as in from barred regulatory bodies

accepting deposits (PMR, 2010). The study focuses on four independent variables i.e., total assets, operating expenses, total debt & financial revenues against the stock price. Further, since the intent of the given paper is to assess overall cost efficiencies of selected microfinance institutions, additional information regarding input prices is necessary to help achieve the said goal. Personnel as vital component of operating expenses is an important variable and used widely in efficiency studies for

efficiencies of German banks; they define labor as full-time or equivalent employees actively employed by the respective institutions. Haq et al. (2009) similarly account for MFI employees as an input in their efficiency analysis, so does Rizvi (2001) in his seminal study on the liberalization of the Pakistani banking industry and its consequent effects on bank efficiency. Here we sift labor to include only loan officers as variable in our study, following a stance assumed by Nieto et al. (2007) we exclude other personnel from our analysis as these might include individuals whose workings are unrelated to the core activities of the MFPs so they dont fall in the category of operating Jansson personnel et al. thus excluded from operating expenses. (2003)

define loan officers as personnel who are responsible for the management of the loan portfolio (as cited in Nieto et al., 2007). Operating Expenses in general are defined by Jansson et al. (2003) as expenditures including related to the operations of the and institution administrative, depreciation,

board expenses (as cited in Nieto et al., 2007). The inclusion of operating expense as a variable is

justified on the basis that these expenditures are necessary for the MFP to continue operations and facilitate extension of micro-credit and other services. The variable is also suggested for use by Berger & Mester (1997). As previously outlined in the paper, financial capital makes up a significant portion of a majority of Pakistani MFPs

financing structure (PMN, 2009). Resultantly, total debt is incorporated into the model as a variable. Fiorentino et al. (2006) (2010). use borrowed funds as a variable in their cost efficiency study; as do Manlagnit (2011), and Sun and Chang

3.3 Procedure

The model which is estimated is as follows S = f(Y, X, M, C) Where S = Stock Price Y = Financial revenues of selected MFI X = operating expenses of selected MFI M = Total Assets of MFI C = Total debt of MFI

Table 4.1 depicts relation between the share price and total assets are insignificant as the p value is greater than the level of significance which is taken as 0.05. The negative sign shows there is negative relation between the share price and the increase in the assets. In simple words, it means that the increase in the assets has negative impact on the share price in the market. The negative impact may be due to the fact that the increase in the assets is due to the increase in the cash and cash equivalent in hand which gives negative signals to the shareholders that the institution is not utilizing its available assets. The relation between the share price and total debt is

insignificant as the p value is greater than the level of significance which is taken as 0.05. The negative sign shows there is negative relation between the share price and the increase in the total debt. In simple words, it means that the increase in the assets has negative impact on the share price in the market. The negative impact may be due to the fact that the increase in the total debt increases the gearing of the institution which results in the decline of

The negative sign shows there is negative relation between the share price and the increase in the assets. In simple words, it means that the increase in the assets has negative impact on the share price in the market. The negative impact may be due to the fact that the increase in the assets is due to the increase in the cash and cash equivalent in hand which gives negative signals to the shareholders that the institution is not utilizing its available assets.

CHAPTER NO 5 Conclusion & Recommendations

5.1 Conclusion The above analysis gives insight information regarding the efficiency of the micro finance institutions in utilization of its assets, total debt and total operating expenditure which generate operating revenues. The above results shows slight variance in the behavior of the share prices in the market with reference to the four variables of the model i.e., total assets, total debt, total operating revenues and operating expenses. The relation between the total assets and the share price in the market is consistent in all the statistical between the outcomes. share There and is also consistent revenues relation in the price operating

outcomes. There is variability in the relation between the share prices and total debt & operating expenses. The relation between analysis the the of total two debt and total operating is already be

revenues should be negative rationally which is evident in statistical mentioned MFIs. The reason why it in above chapter that should

negative. The positive relation between the two specific variables i.e., total debt & operating expenses with share prices may be due to the signaling theory as mentioned in previous chapter or may be due to some non-financial factors which are affecting the stock prices in the market. The above shows that the financial institutions in Pakistan are considerably efficient irrespective of some variation of
42

movement to

of

specified their

variables

in in

the

study.

There

is and

substantial room available for the microfinance institutions improve efficiency utilizing assets operations.

43

5.2 Recommendations Based on the analysis should do and the conclusion following the to microfinance improve the

institutions

operational efficiency: MFIs should utilize their cash and cash equivalents to the maximum but keeping the adequate liquidity so that they dont trap in liquidity risk. MFIs should utilize their non-currents in such a way that they get better and improved returns The operating expenses should reduce so minimum possible so that targeted profitability is ensured. The revenues should be maximized which can be possible

through increasing the customer base The total debt should be utilized appropriately and

effective because debt also affects the profitability by percentage of financial charge on the debt.
