3. SWOT analysis
Strengths
Principal Association:
State Bank is one of the premier institutions of Pakistan and it is responsible for the regulation of
monetary policy and banking system since its formation.
Functionary to Government:
The State Bank of Pakistan performs multiple services to government by providing loans as well as
managing accounts of government and other commercial banks.
Proper Monitoring:
The SBP ensures proper monitoring of employees and therefore there are very less chances of any
unethical activity observe in State bank and its subsidiaries. The rules are advised to follow strictly
otherwise, the penalties are imposed.
Employee Oriented:
The SBP and its subsidiaries are very well managed and unlike other governmental organizations, it
employees are monitored and given good monetary incentives.
Weaknesses:
Technological backwardness
Unlike most of the Central Banks of other countries SBP-BSC is not updated in technology. They are
using old Pentium processor computers and CRT monitors. The GLOBUS software used is not updated.
Computers and GLOBUS software was introduced in 2003 and they are in the same form, not updated.
This causes system freezes and hang ups and hence time wastage.
Latest procedures and best practices are not adopted
Just like computing technology, the procedures are not updated and best practices of the similar
organizations are not adopted, which is causing stagnation. SBP-BSC has to work with other institutes
and conduct regular research to develop and modify their procedures.
Staff is not well trained in IT
SBP-BSC employees in general and imputers should be trained at least for improving their typing speed.
It will speed up the payment process and entry system.
30
Poor interior
The furniture is needs to be replaced. And SBP BSC Multan needs to be re interior. The voice of stamping
disturbed the other officer sitting near to them. So, there should be proper separate cabins for each officer.
Personal Learning Experience
There is no personal learning experience. People working here is like machine they have to do same work
for all of their working life.
Opportunities
Investment in IT and latest technology.
The world today has turned into a worldwide town in light of headway in the advances, particularly in
correspondence division. More accentuation is now given to benefit the advanced innovations to better
the exhibitions. SBP can utilize the electronic keeping money chance to guarantee on line managing an
account 24 hours a day. This would give a focused edge over others.
Financing
This is a time that SBP take steps to launch more financing schemes that will enable common people to
help progress the economy. Like schemes that enable common people to take stand up for achievements.
Threats
Political instability and pressure can harm the operations of SBP
Frequently changing governments and their policies harm the functionality and consistency of SBP-BSC
policies.
Excessive government borrowings
Excessive borrowings of the present government is making difficult for SBP to maintain foreign
exchange reserves.
Circulation of fake currency
A huge amount of fake currency is floating in the market which is causing inflation in the economy and
is devaluing rupee. Fake money makers have improved the quality of their fake notes and it is hard for
general public to distinguish them from original currency notes.

6. Project Report
Study and critical review on Pricing mechanism of Commercial and Microfinance
Banks
6.1 Brief Overview of Project:
The topic which is assigned to us is related to the Study on the pricing mechanism of commercial and
microfinance banks and comparative analysis of their products prices. This project covers brief overview
about Pakistan banking sector, conventional banks, Islamic banks, microfinance banks and products
prices.
Commercial banks in Pakistan like banks operating in the developed countries are putting more emphasis
on providing more facilities and services to their customers. A well-established banking system provides
funds to all economic sectors including small businessman, industrialists, contractors, formers,
cultivators, importers, exporters and traders. Commercial banks are providing sufficient amount of capital
to the various sector of the economy.
Different microfinance banks are also established to help those customers who are not eligible to avail
the services of commercial banks. Basic objective of microfinance banks is to provide the financing for
small businesses sectors and entrepreneurs. The introduction of Islamic banking sector in Pakistan is the
remarkable step taken to sort out the problems related to the interest and its prohibition in Islam.
In this project our prime focus is on Commercial banks and Micro finance banks. Further we can divide
commercial banks into two categories Conventional banks and Islamic banks.
The conventional banks which have been chosen for the products pricing comparison and their analysis
are:
Habib bank limited
United bank limited
Allied bank limited
Bank Alfalah limited
Faysal bank limited
MCB limited
(HBL)
(UBL)
(ABL)
(BAL)
(FBL)
(MCB)
The Islamic banks which have been chosen for the products pricing comparison and their analysis are:
Al Baraka bank limited
Meezan bank limited
Bank Islami limited
Burj bank limited
38
The Micro finance banks which have been chosen for the products pricing comparison and their
analysis are:
FINCA microfinance bank
Waseela microfinance bank
Khushhali microfinance bank
Tameer microfinance bank
First microfinance bank
6.2 Overview of Pricing Mechanism:
Simplistically speaking a loan is when you give someone money for certain period and charge them a
certain amount (usually expressed as certain percentage and is called markup or interest) for the use of
that money the borrower is expected to pay back the principal as well as mark up. Pricing of the loan is
the markup rate. This markup rate charge has two component.
Base component can be derived from the internal cost of funds and market based cost of funds. Internal
cost mean the minimum rate of return that banks give to their depositors on their deposits and market
based cost of funds mean that banks bear while lending from the market like KIBOR etc.
Variable component means the banks spread which they set according to their preferences to get higher
or low profit. Usually spreads are higher because the lending is risk full operation of the banks because
they have to the administrative cost while lending to anyone.
There are certain factors that can also be included in the pricing formula of banks like bank specific
factors (administrative cost, bank policy, bank balance sheet etc.), industry specific factors (regulatory
supervision, bank reserve requirements etc.) and last is macroeconomic indicators (inflation, GDP etc...)
BSF are only vary bank to bank because they depend on the policy of the bank than bank decide how
many portion of BSF would be included in the pricing formula but other two factors like ISF and ME are
same for every bank so they effect equally to each banks pricing formula.
Limitation of our study was that banks are unable to provide the data about the pricing mechanism
because banks in Multan dont know about the exact pricing portion of these factors and each bank head
offices make pricing policies. So, Personnel working in banks of Multan dont know about the pricing
mechanism they only know about the spread which they have to charge according to the banks policy.
Thats why instead of doing the empirical research on pricing mechanism we did conceptually based
research on pricing mechanism and strategies of pricing of banks. We did comparative analysis of pricing
of each banks products.
While visiting to each bank and upon comparing the pricing of each product of our selected banks we
came to know that all banks are using the Relationship based pricing they charge prices according to
the relation of the customer with them and customer relationship department of the bank will record all

data of customer and make credit rating of the customer. On the basis of credit rating bank charges high
or low spread to the customer.
At last every bank mostly set fluctuating rates on lending and fix rates on deposits because they have to
earn profit from lending side and fluctuating rates would be beneficial for them because in the present
environment interest rates and inflation increasing and by setting fluctuating rates they can enjoy
maximum benefit.

7. Conclusion
The internship report on state bank of Pakistan is very fruitful for in number of ways. We came to know
the all the working of state bank of Pakistan as well as pricing mechanism of different banks and the
reasons of high and low rate being provided by each bank.
State bank of Pakistan is regulatory body. State bank is entirely responsible for monetary policy of its
country and it manages the monetary policy to regulate the economy. For stability and ensuring economic
development, monetary policy provides backbone to the countrys economic system. Main function of
the state bank is to control the money supply in the country by doing this state bank control the inflation
as well as deflation in the country. Other functions of the state bank includes the Bankers bank and
banker to the government. State bank is providing their service to all commercial banks as well as to the
government organizations by giving receipt, transfer and clearing facilities.
Banking Services Corporation (BSC) is a fully owned subsidiary of the State bank of Pakistan and it is
called the operational arm of State bank. BSC is providing assistance to the State bank to perform its
operations on regional level efficiently and effectively. Almost BSC is performing all functions of state
bank on the regional level like currency management, banking department etc.

8. Recommendations
In my opinion there should be latest technology match with the other commercial banks. Using
latest software like Temenos which is more user friendly than GLOBUS.
There should be separate cabins for each officer so that noise did not disturb the employees.
There should be new furniture for the employees as the old one is not in good condition which
feels like they are sitting not in Bank.
There should be informal programs to reduce the communication gap between the higher
authorities and junior officer.
Periodic meetings should conduct to get feedback from employees.
State bank should introduce new product line like they should start to give student loan, widow
loan and house financing to poor people who cannot afford rates of commercial banks.
State bank should increase awareness among the small exporters of the country about the
refinance scheme because if our exports would be higher than our foreign reserves will increase
that will be helpful in increasing the value of our currency.
