*Figures excluding Islami Bank ASSET QUALITY Total assets of PBL stood at TK 48.41 billion as on June, 2005 consisting of cash assets (19.40%), investments (11%), loans & advances (60.63%) with the remaining 8.96% being other assets. During FY 2004, PBLs total asset increased by 7.11% compared to that of FY 2003. This growth rate was 3.83% for the year 2003. The trend analysis shows that its total loans & advances increased by 4.79% in FY 2004 as against peer growth rate of 9.98% for the year. As per the bank, the reason behind the relatively low credit off-take has been a cautious approach taken by the bank and focus on recoveries from high level of NPAs in its consolidation phase. Also, the bank is primarily focusing on existing good borrowers and selective addition to client base for credit growth. Non Performing Loans (NPL) According to 2004 position, PBL had gross non-performing loans of TK 4,974.72 million (18.06%) against its total loans and advances of TK 27,232 million. From the table, it is found that gross NPL of the bank is coming down over the years. This reduction is attributable partly to substantial write-off of TK 3,246 million in the last two years and partly to cash recovery and upgradation. NPL Movement

But high fresh NPA generation in the last few years is a cause of concern for the bank. Gross NPA ratio of PBL is higher than the peer group (15.13% as of December 2004) and similar to the total banking industry average for 2004 of 17.63%. Gross NPA for the Private Commercial Banks averaged at 8.53 % in 2004. Reasons for high default rate are found to be inadequate and incomplete appraisal, inadequate monitoring by branch officials, loans with public sector enterprises, politically-influenced agriculture loans etc. Peer Group Comparison on Gross & Net NPA

Sectoral Exposure As per information provided by the bank, PBL is more exposed to commercial lending followed by industrial term loan and working capital loans. Although classified loan ratio is generally coming down, it is still high in some sectors like working capital, export and housing sectors. Provisioning for Losses on Loans & Advances PBL follows the same provisioning policy as prescribed by the BCD/BRPD Circulars of Bangladesh Bank. In the financial year ended 31st December 2004, there was required provision of TK 1,192.74 million out of which PBL kept provision for TK 1,192.74, resulting in a provision surplus of TK 7.14 million. FUNDING AND LIQUIDITY Pubali Bank has a satisfactory low cost deposit base through its large network of 350 branches throughout the country. Saving deposit s has been steadily dominating in the deposit composition in the previous years. However, compared to other banks in the peer group PBL is more dependent on short term funds. Though this has decreased the fund cost for the bank, it has impacted on the matching of asset liability maturity hindering the banks exposure to long term lending.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET PBLs off balance sheet liabilities increased highly in the first half of the year 2005. The outstanding letter of credit increased from TK 5.45 billion on FYE 2004 to TK 6.46 billion on 30 June 2005 (18.57% growth), in line with the overall L/C increase in the banking sector.

CONCLUSION Pubali Bank Ltd is the largest commercial bank of Bangladesh in the private sector. With the network of 350 branches and good franchise value the bank has access to low cost and stable deposits. Though the bank had been infected historically with low quality lending, the asset quality has improved significantly in the last five years. Gross non-performing assets of 18.06% in FYE2004 is a significant improvement from a few years ago but still is higher compared to the best performers in the industry. Banks profitability remains thin on account of low yield and high provisioning cost. Broad deposit base and cautious credit operation helps the bank in maintaining comfortable liquidity. Capital adequacy of the bank improved on account of sustained profit in the last three years. With the persistence efforts of the management, continued improvement in the asset quality, efforts in increasing profitability, incorporation of modern concepts and technologies of banking, and extension into more diversified banking activities, Pubali Bank is expected to emerge and consolidate its position as a very strong bank in the private sector.
