I. Introduction

Background
Banking sector plays a pivotal role in the economic development of a country. State Bank
being a central bank and regulator of the banking system has to compile and disseminate
statistics on the scheduled banks operating in Pakistan.
Statistics & DWH Department of State Bank of Pakistan compiles and disseminates data
through different publications. Keeping up the pace with the increased use of IT, the data is
also placed on the State Bank’s website ([Link]) for the easy access by the users.
The publication is based on the revised reporting system effective from June 1982. It was
based on quarterly reporting of the banks that was subsequently changed to biannual from
December 1992.
Standards and Classifications
Effective from December 2001, the category of deposit holders and advances classified by
borrower for domestic constituents has been reclassified as Government, Non-Financial
Public Sector Enterprises (NFPSE’s), Non-Bank Financial Companies (NBFC’s), Private
Sector (Business), Trust Funds & Non-Profit Institutions (NPI’s), Personal, and Others.
Major changes are carried out in the classification of banking sector attributes. The
classification of economic groups under private sector has been enhanced in the light of
International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC)-Rev.3.1 of the United Nation’s
Statistics Division.

Composition of Banking Groups

The publication is based on data of all scheduled banks operating in Pakistan which are
classified into three main groups namely public sector banks, domestic private banks and
foreign banks. Public sector banks are further divided into public sector commercial banks
and specialized banks.
Scheduled Banks

In terms of Section 13 of Companies Ordinance 1962, the scheduled banks maintain minimum
required capital and reserve balance which is determined by SBP from time to time. Currently as
per BSD circular No. 7 of 2009 an aggregate value not less than Rs. 10 billion by December 31,

Statistics on Scheduled Banks in Pakistan v

Introduction June - 2017

2013 & onwards and conducting their affairs in a manner not detrimental to the interest of
their depositors have been declared as scheduled banks.

As per State Bank of Pakistan Act, 1956 (clause (a) of Sub-Section (2) of Section 37)
“scheduled bank” is defined as:

37-2. The Bank shall, by notification, in the official Gazette—

(a) Declare any bank to be scheduled bank which is carrying on the business of
banking in Pakistan and which—

(i) is a banking company as defined in section 227F of the Companies Act,

1913, or a co-operative bank, or a corporation or a company incorporated by or
established under any law in force in any place in or outside Pakistan;

(ii) has a paid-up capital and reserves of an aggregate value of not less than
five lakhs of rupees: Provided that in the case of a co-operative bank, an exception
may be made by the Bank;

(iii) satisfies the Bank that its affairs are not being conducted in a manner
detrimental to the interest of its depositors;

(b) direct the descheduling of any scheduled bank which ceases to fulfill the
requirements mentioned in clause (a) or goes into liquidation or otherwise wholly or
partly ceases to carry on banking business; Provided that the Bank may, on
application of the scheduled bank concerned and subject to such conditions, if any, as
it may impose, defer the making of a direction under clause (b) for such period as the
Bank considers reasonable to give the scheduled bank an opportunity of fulfilling the
requirements mentioned in sub-clauses (ii) and (iii) of clause (a); (c) alter the
description in the list of scheduled banks whenever any scheduled bank changes its
name.

Explanation:- In sub-Section (2) the expression “value” means the real or exchangeable and
not the nominal value of the capital and reserves and the valuation made by the Bank shall be
final.

Introduction June - 2017

Public Sector Banks

The banks incorporated in Pakistan and their shares & capital controlled by the
Government units is referred to Public sector banks (Appendix II).
Public Sector Commercial Banks
These are the scheduled banks mainly involved in the activities of deposits mobilization
and extending credit through a branch network. These banks deal in short term collateralized
lending such as trade financing, overdraft and provide a range of financial services to the
clients. With the liberalization of banking rules and laws, commercial banks are now allowed
to undertake other related activities such as underwriting, portfolio investment, securities
market operations, specialized financing and related services.
Specialized Banks
Specialized banks are established to provide credit facilities, assistance and advice to
clients in a designated sector or in a designated line of credit; for example agriculture sector,
industrial sector, housing sector, SME sector. These institutions perform lending function,
but may not engage in routine commercial banking activities. These are established,
organized, and chartered under special legislative acts instead of being chartered as a bank
under the banking law.
Domestic Private Banks
The banks incorporated in Pakistan and controlled by the private sector are termed as
domestic private banks.
Foreign Banks
Bank branches with head offices outside Pakistan are called foreign banks.
Islamic Banking
For the promotion of Islamic Banking in Pakistan, SBP issued policies/guidelines as per
BPD circular No.1 of January 2003. Wherein a three-pronged strategy was adopted as
under:
a) Establishment of full-fledged Islamic Bank(s) in the private sector.
b) Setting up subsidiaries for Islamic banking by existing commercial banks.
c) Allowing Stand-alone branches for Islamic banking in the existing commercial banks.
All Islamic banks, subsidiaries and stand-alone branches offer Sharia compliant products
and services only.

II. Explanatory Notes

The scheduled banks statistics are based on branch-wise actual data (as on end position) reported
on half-yearly basis by the scheduled banks in Pakistan. The data is collected on various
dimensions of major sources (deposits) and resources (advances, investments and bills purchased
& discounted) along with liabilities and assets statement. The data dimensions and terminology
that need some explanation is discussed for information of the users.

Liabilities and Assets

The items of Capital and Reserves on the liability side pertain to the principal or head office of
the bank.

Capital comprises paid-up capital of Pakistani Banks. In case of Foreign Banks, it is the
equivalent Pakistani rupee amount kept with the State Bank of Pakistan as reserve capital
required to be maintained under the rules.
Reserves include all types of reserves maintained by the scheduled banks.

Balances with other Scheduled Banks: This includes the balances of all Scheduled Banks
with any other bank and excludes the balances with National Bank of Pakistan working as an
agent of State Bank of Pakistan, which are included in ‘Balances with State Bank of Pakistan’.

As per established accounting procedure, the reporting branches of Scheduled Banks adjust
certain entries with their Principal/Head (inter-bank) offices to balance their positions. The gross
amounts of credits and debits of these adjustments tend to be large compared with other heads of
accounts. These adjustments of ‘Head office / inter-banks are netted out to consolidate bank-wise
position that have been added to arrive at overall position. It is significant to mention that the data
on liabilities and assets in this publication may differ slightly from the data in Weekly Press
Communiqué of Off-site Supervision & Enforcement Department of SBP due to difference in
timing and coverage of the two sets of data.

Deposits
Outstanding Deposits: This shows the position of deposits held by banks at the end of the
period (30th June or 31st December). Deposits are the amount held in various types of deposit
accounts by bank, such as demand deposits, time and saving deposits. Deposits include all types

Statistics on Scheduled Banks in Pakistan ix

Explanatory Notes on Statistical Tables June - 2017

of deposits excluding interbank deposits, placements and margin deposits (deposits held by
banks as collateral against letters of credits, letters of guarantees).
The data on Deposits is collected and compiled on various dimensions explained as under:
Types of Accounts: Deposits accounts are classified under five main type’s namely current,
call, saving, fixed and other deposits.
Category of Deposit Holders: This describes the main business or profession of the
deposit account holders. They are broadly classified as non-resident and domestic
constituents, which is cascaded down to Government, Non- financial public sector
enterprises (NFPSEs), Non-bank financial Companies (NBFCs), Private sector (Business),
Trust Fund and Non-Profit Institutions, Personal and Others. The Private sector has been
further distributed in sub-heads such as Agriculture, Fishing, Mining & Quarrying,
Manufacturing, Ship breaking, Electricity and Construction according to the ISIC
classification of United Nations.
Rate of Interest: It is the rate offered by Scheduled Banks on various types of deposits such as
foreign currency accounts scheme, over five years maturity and unclaimed, overdue or
matured fixed deposits maintained under conventional banking.
Rate of Return on PLS Deposits: It is the rate of profit given by the Scheduled Banks
on various types of deposits such as call, saving and fixed deposits maintained under the scheme
“Elimination of Riba from the Banking System”. The rates are announced after the
completion of the period of investment usually a half year based on June and December
end in July and January.
Size of Deposits Accounts: The deposits accounts are classified under various classes on
the basis of the balances in the respective accounts. As the number of accounts is
considerably large, for reporting ease, the banks have option to club the accounts and amounts
in cases where, the “Nature”, “Type of Accounts”, “Category of Deposit Holders” and
“Rate of Interest/Return” is the same. For such grouped accounts it is the average size of the
group instead of actual size of the component that determines the class to which it belongs. It
is believed that the estimates would not differ significantly from the actual position.
Debits to Deposit and Turnover: The deposits are reported on net basis at the end of half-
year. The debits on these accounts help in analyzing the turnover in the respective accounts
during the period. The co-efficient of turnover are calculated by dividing the debits with the
averages amounts on deposits as reported by the banks.

Explanatory Notes on Statistical Tables June - 2017

Advances
Outstanding Advances: The total amount of advances/loans recoverable at the end of the
period (30th June or 31st December), are termed as outstanding. Advances includes all type of
advances except interbank placements and is the amount of money borrowed from banks for a
period of time at a rate of interest and at terms of repayments as agreed between the borrower
and the banks backed by a collateral.
The main attributes of advances are as under:
Type of Securities: In banking business, the security, or collateral, consists of assets,
property, deposits or valuables held as guarantee against a credit or a loan. Type of
security helps in the analysis of the quality of advances of the banking system. A list of
classification of securities has been prepared as per international classification that can be
seen under the tables of advances classified by securities in the statistical tables.
Category of Borrowers: Borrowers are first classified on the basis of non-resident and
domestic constituents. The latter is then further classified into government, non- financial
public sector enterprises, non- bank financial companies, private sector (business), trust
funds & non-profit institutions, personal and others.

Non-Resident: This covers the transactions with the non-residents working in our economy.
This includes Officials (Embassies consulates, foreign missions), Business (Corporations
working in Pakistan for short periods as construction companies) and Personals (Students,
travelers).
Government: This includes Federal Government, Provincial & Local Governments advances.
Further, disbursements to Government (Federal, Provincial & Local) are made by bank
branches located in various regions/provinces, while in case of deposits, the bank branches
located in the various regions/provinces have mobilized the deposits from the Government
(Federal, Provincial & Local). Similarly, disbursements to eight main borrowers (Non-
resident, Govt., NFPSEs, NBFCs, Private Sector, Trust Fund, Personal and Others) are made
by bank branches located in various regions/provinces, while in case of deposits, the bank
branches located in the various regions/provinces have mobilized the deposits from these eight
categories.

NFPSE’s (Non-Financial Public Sector Enterprises): These are the non-financial resident
corporations which are controlled by government, through ownership of more than half the
voting shares, legislation, decree, or regulations that establish specific corporate policy or
allow the government to appoint the directors.

Explanatory Notes on Statistical Tables June - 2017

NBFC’s (Nonbank Financial Companies) & Financial Auxiliaries: Non-banking financial

companies, or NBFCs, are financial institutions that provide banking services, but do not hold
a banking license while Financial Auxiliaries are all resident corporations and quasi
corporations primarily engaged in activities closely related to financial intermediation but
which do not themselves perform an intermediation role. NBFCs & Financial Auxiliaries are
categorized into groups of development finance institutions, leasing companies, investment
banks, modaraba companies, housing finance companies, mutual funds, venture capital
companies, discount houses, stock exchange, exchange companies and insurance companies
etc.

Private Sector: This is that part of the economy which is run for private business profit and is
not controlled by the state. This includes the majors sectors like Agriculture, Manufacturing
etc.
Trust Fund: This includes the Private Trusts and Non-profit Institutions, Non-government
Organizations (NGOs)/Community Based and Organizations (CBOs).
Personal: This includes Bank Employees and Consumer Financing which are classified under
advances, while in case of deposits, Salaried Persons, Self-employed and Other Persons
(House-wives, students etc.) are included.

Others: This includes all those which are not classified elsewhere.
Rate of Interest/Return: This is the cost of using borrowed money expressed as a rate, or a
percentage of the principal amount for a period of time usually a year. In case of Islamic
modes of financing it is referred as rate of mark-up.
Size of Accounts for Advances: The classification and system for size of accounts for
advances is identical to the size of accounts for deposit as explained above.

Rate of Margin: Margin for collateral is the excess of the market/assessed value of the
collateral over the amount of loan. Banks typically prefer to provide loan amount less than
the assessed value of collateral, because in the event of default, there are costs in loan
recovery and substantial losses with performing collateral; hence a margin of collateral is
maintained.
Bills Purchased & Discounted
Classification of Bills Purchased and Discounted provides the economic group wise claims
of scheduled banks. Type of bills includes Export Bills, Import Bills, Inland Bills, Foreign

Statistics on Scheduled Banks in Pakistan xii

Explanatory Notes on Statistical Tables June - 2017

Bills and Others. The nature of bills purchased and discounted may be interest based or
Financing under Islamic modes which includes Purchase of Trade Bills on Exchange Rate
Differential or Purchase of Trade Bills on Commission.
Investments
The banks report their investment in domestic and foreign securities/shares with details of
holdings of each type of securities/shares and classify them as free or encumbered
according to disposability. The holdings are classified by issuing institutions of
securities/shares such as Federal and Provincial Governments’ securities, foreign securities
and other securities/shares (including shares, debentures, NIT units, participation term
certificates, Sukuk, term finance certificate, certificate of investment, mutual fund and
modaraba certificates, shares of other public and private sector enterprises). The purchase
price (book value), original value (face value) and market value (market price) in case of
tradable securities/shares are also reported.
Regional Data
The regional/province wise data on Advances & Deposits by Borrowers/Categories is
disseminated due to the increasing demand from the users. Regional distribution of data on
“Outstanding Advances” is based on disbursements by the bank branches located in the
respective regions and place of actual utilization for these advances may be different from
the place of disbursements. The regional position therefore may not reflect the true picture
since offices of large companies/firms operating in different regions might have used
banking facilities located in different regions. Therefore, there comes a huge responsibility
on the part of users to keep these limitations of data in mind while drawing any conclusion
on the basis of these data.
