Performance Review
The year under review remained under pressure which resulted in further slowing down of the economy. The
Government of Pakistan, in order to revive the economy and to boost industrial development, decided on
a policy to reduce the rate of return on securities etc., which has in turn led to a decline in the lending rate,
The Bank's margins, therefore, decreased resulting in reduced profit for the year.
By the Grace of Allah, Deposits increased to Rs. 14,112.9 million as compared to the corresponding period,
registering a growth of Rs. 887.0 million. Within the overall framework of the Bank's lending policy, advances
under Export Refinance Scheme increased by Rs. 1,834.8 million while other advances increased by
Rs. 1,526.7 million.
The financial highlights are as under :
            (Rupees in million)
Dec. 31, 1999 Dec. 31, 1998
Pre-Tax Profit 372.7 444.7
Post-Tax Profit 152.7 203.1
Shareholders' Equity 1169.0 1016.3
Total Customers' Deposits 14112.9 13225.9
Total Advances 10925.3 7563.8
Foreign Trade Business 26525.5 20270.3
The successful conclusion of agreements with lending agencies by the Government of Pakistan and forecast
of a larger output in the agricultural sector, the year 2000 is expected to be more prosperous.
However, due to high liquidity in the market, the lending rates would continue to remain low which may keep
the financial sector under pressure.
Branch Network
Two more branches were opened during the year at Ghalla Mandi Multan and F-10 Markaz Islamabad,
bringing the total number of branches to 30.
Y2K
The new software 'Bank Plus' was implemented and became operational during the year in all the branches
of the Bank. AI-Hamdolillah, no Y2K problem was faced.
Pattern of Shareholding
The statement of pattern of shareholding of the Bank as at December 31, 1999, is given .
Auditors
Our present auditors, Messrs Hyder Bhimji & Company, Chartered Accountants, retire and being eligible,
offer themselves for reappointment.
General
We are grateful to our customers for their support, to the State Bank of Pakistan for their continued guidance
and to our foreign and local correspondent banks for their valuable services. We also thank all our staff
members for their sincere and dedicated services, which enabled the Bank to achieve these results.
