2.4 Refinance Scheme unit RSU


As the central Bank of the country SBP has the prime responsibility to develop infra-structure for exports
and boost up exports in the country because by increasing exports in the country it will increase the
foreign reserves in the country which leads to help in the stability of economy. Commercial bank acts as
an intermediary between the SBP and exporter for refinance for exports.
The purpose of this unit to boost exports and diversify exports in Pakistan. Attract and promote small
producers to exports their goods by providing finance to them.
Scope of the RSU is to promote exports of eligible commodities like finished goods. SBP does not
promote the export of negative list of commodities like raw material etc. because if you will export your
raw material to other country this mean you are strengthening their economy not yours.

2.4.1 Types of refinancing schemes


There are two types of refinancing schemes
1. Short term refinancing scheme
2. Long term refinancing scheme
We will discuss each of the scheme in detail below:
1. Short term refinancing scheme
This scheme is for the short term period like less than one year. Usually loan is given to the exporter for
the period of 180 days. There is further two types of short term refinancing scheme.

This scheme is limit free. Give finance to new exporter irrespective of any limit
It attracts the new customer for export their goods.
Duration of the repayment of loan is 180 days.
Basically this scheme is transaction based.
As this is short term financing thats why it is linked with the 6-months T-bills.

Rate of financing
SBP charge 8.4 % rate to the commercial banks plus the SBP 1% commission and total rate charge to
exporter is 9.4 % which is very low.
Repayments:

Part-1I of export refinancing scheme


Under Part II of scheme, a revolving finance is sanction to the exporter equivalent to 50% of his export

period of 180 days. Facility once availed needs to be repaid in totality. Exporter having availed part II
facilitates have to export/ship eligible goods and realize export proceeds and submit the evidence of
performance on the prescribed statement with in two months from close of each financial year.
Bank limit: Firstly commercial banks send request to its head office, then it sends request to head office
SBP main office (Karachi) which determines the limit on the following basis:

Bank size
Previous year loan utilization
Credit worthiness

Exporter limit:
As this is for existing exporters that is why the exporter has to perform double to get finance under this
scheme. This limit is set by SBP BSC Banks. It contains 2 statements; Exports Entitlement Statement
(EES) and Exports finance Statement (EFS). Exports Entitlement Statement (EES) is sent to FEOD up
to 31st august of every year to check its previous year performance. As a result 50 % of exports is provided
to the exporters as loan, and if exporter does not perform then penalty is imposed on the previous
performance. If an exporter apply for loan in inter wearing period (1st July to 31st August), then this limit
can be extended to 31st August but all the accounts are closed on 31st August.

2.6 Currency Management Unit (CMU)


The unit basically deals with management of the currency, and insure the required amount of currency is
floated in the market.

Remittances IN and remittances OUT are being properly handled.


Matters related to fresh notes are handled
Need assessment and preparation of daily currency chest slip of cash balances.
VAULT checking on the daily basis.
Number of spoiled notes, the sanction from commercial banks.

2.6.1 Remittances in & Remittance out


The unit basically overseas all the operations that are related to supply, distribution and withdrawal,
verification and cancellation of currency. The main function of CMU is to insure that the optimum
amount of flow of currency should be exist their must not be any shortage.
Remittances IN means all the currency that is being deposited the cash counter is being assessed, the
currency received from commercial banks and the chest branches. In the same way the remittances out
means that the amount of currency that is being withdrawn by the commercial banks or chest branches is
also being analyzed.

2.6.2 Matters related to fresh notes.


Firstly, acceptance of the currency from the issuance offices and then distrusted to the various banks
under the declared quota. A pre formulated pattern is being observed by the department for the allocation
of fresh currency. The patter consists of following steps. CMU department receives the fresh note stock
from the issuance office.
Respected banks are informed to process their request order for issuance of new currency, the unit deals
with the head office. In the request letter the number of branch s and the cash requirement of each branch
is being defined. The office allocates the quota to those branches that are registered one. Furthermore the
process can be defined in a table below e.g. Say that NBP has demand 1600 bundles of the currency of
denomination RS 10 ,20 ,50 ,100 each.

The recommended quota is being allotted in two ways


The head office assign the certain quota himself.
Sometime the unit also may define the designated branches of commercial banks for distribution
in which the a representative of the SBP(BSC) are being nominated
The authority is given to the field office the assign quota. The field office allocate the quota under
following characteristics.
Number of branches.
The burden of the public in the branch.
Status of the bank.
After the quota has been allotted than an indent is being given by the respective banks to the SBP (BSC)
account and \currency is given. For the purpose of stopping the black market of the currency notes the
issuances bundles series are mentioned in the system with respect to certain bank. If any of that serial; is
found in the black market, the bank may penalize for that action.

2.6.3 Daily Currency Chest Slip:


Another function that is related to CMU department is to prepare daily currency chest slip, In this chest
slip the three basic channels are put under consideration, the notes that are cancelled because they were
spoiled and completely shredded .the position of Currency is being received from the chest branches is
also been determined and the amount of currency that is available in the VAULT is also been counted
and the end of the each day, On the basis of complete assessment the chest slip is prepared and this chest
slip is being send to the issuances office, the issuance offices send their reports to the head office and the
policy are formulated for printing of currency notes.
PSPC stand for Pakistan security printing council .it is basically a private entity which prints the currency
notes on the request order by the head office. PSPC has only the authority to print the currency notes of
various denominations but the issuance is made by the 4 issuance offices.

2.6.4 Quota for employees:


The quota for fresh notes for the employees in the SBP (BSC) is being allotted by the head office and
special counter is being defined to get that currency with showing the pay slip.

Learning outcome
CMU is responsible for circulation of money in all over the country.
I have learned mechanism of issuance of notes FROM PSPC.
I have learned about the mechanism treatment of forged notes.
Distribution of currency to all the banks and then to general public, all are under the umbrella of
CMU.
This unit ensures that how much currency is in circulation and how much currency is available to
all over the Pakistan.

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.

ALFALAH INSTITUTE OF BANKING AND FINANCE

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.

5. Economic Analysis:
5.1 Growth and investment
After a period of slack growth during last few years, Pakistans economy witnessed higher and broad
based economic growth in outgoing fiscal year 2013-14 accompanied by significant recovery in industrial
sector and moderate growth in services and agriculture sectors.
The success in economic growth includes:
inflation contained at single digit, improvement in tax collection, reduction in fiscal deficit, better growth
in exports and imports, achievement of GSP plus status, remarkable improvement in workers
remittances, successful launching of Euro Bond, auction of long pending 3G and 4G licenses; significant
improvement in countrys foreign exchange reserves, Rupee strengthened, rise in foreign direct
investment.
The GDP growth accelerated to 4.14 percent in 2013-14 against the growth of 3.70 percent recorded in
the same period last year. The three major sectors namely agriculture, industry and services have provided
support to improve economic growth. The agriculture sector grew at an estimated rate of 2.12 percent
against the growth of 2.88 percent in the last year. The industrial sector expanded by 5.84 percent against
the growth of 1.37 percent in last year, while large scale manufacturing posted growth of 5.31 percent
against the growth of 4.08 percent in last year. The services sector grew at 4.29 percent as compared to
3.45 percent in last year. Fig 1 shows the overview of GDP of previous years.

5.2 Relationship between inflation and GDP


The link between growth and inflation is well documented phenomena in the economic statistics
Around the world. Inflation at very high level as well as at very low level is harmful for the economy.
High inflation effect more the poor than rich, while low inflation can have negative impact on growth.
Inflation rate as measured by Consumer Price Index (CPI) represent the trend of prices of goods and
services in the economy. Average inflation rate from 1957 to 2013 is 8.0 percent with the highest 38
percent in December 1973 and lowest -10.3 in February 1959. Since 2005-06, it was observed that
whenever the inflation was contained within 8 percent, there was high growth, while whenever the
inflation posted value of double digit the growth remained low as shown in figure below:

5.3 Monetary policy


Central banks generally use the monetary policy as an important tool to achieve certain objectives that
are crucial for economic growth and stability. The effectiveness of monetary policy is contingent upon
improvements in the fiscal and the balance of payment position. SBP has adopted relatively an
expansionary monetary policy for the last few years and money supply (M2) is increasing each year.
Money Supply M2 in Pakistan increased to 9778624 PKR Million in June of 2014 from 9369885 PKR
Million in May of 2014. Money Supply M2 in Pakistan averaged 6614506.93 PKR Million from 2008
until 2014, reaching an all-time high of 9778624 PKR Million in June of 2014 and a record low of
4431502 PKR Million in July of 2008. Money Supply M2 in Pakistan is reported by the State Bank of
Pakistan.

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

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
ALFALAH INSTITUTE OF BANKING AND FINANCE

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.
