HABIB METROPOLITAN BANK
BANKING INDUSTRY OF PAKISTAN
Governor State Bank of Pakistan Syed Salim
Raza has said that Pakistan's banking industry had tremendous potential for further investment in the financial sector of the country. Pakistan has a well-developed banking system, which consists of a wide variety of institutions ranging from a central bank to commercial banks and to specialized agencies to cater for special requirements of specific sectors. Major factors like global financial disorder, economic slowdown and strict monetary policy were on the top but Pakistani bank cater all these problems. Entity is a result of a merger b/w Habib Bank AG Zurich & Metropolitan Bank Ltd. on 26- Oct-2006 Headquarter in Switzerland, the HBZ Group also operates in Hong Kong, Singapore, United Arab Emirates, Kenya, South Africa, United Kingdom and North America.

FUTURE OUTLOOK OF HMBL:
Up-till now HMBL has not been able to
come up with different products in retail banking, branch banking, insurance, and mortgage. With the presence of large foreign banks like Citibank, RBS and Standard Chartered one finds it convenient to believe that HMBL faces tough competition in consumer banking from these worldwide giants. HMBL's net interest margin is one of the highest in the industry. Interest income is the major source of income for HMBL. HABIB METROPOLITAN BANK MICHEL PORTERS FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS 1. Threat of Entry: (Medium) No restriction from SBP for new banks. SBP gives free hand to enter in this industry because there is a big scope in this industry. To start a new bank there is a need of large financial resources in order to compete with existing banks and Government current interest policy is also a problem for new entrant. Existing banks have great customer loyalties and they differentiate their services. New entrant’s need network of branches and to get favorable location for branches is also difficult. Existing banks has also advantage of expertise and diversity of their branches.

2. Intensity of Rivalry among Existing
Competitors: Degree of difference between products is very low. Competition in existing firms has very high due to numerous and equally balanced competitors. Due to entrance of new foreign banks, competition increased. There are high exit barriers due to high fixed cost, Govt. and social restriction. Banking industry growth is medium to high due to competition increases day by day. Some banks have new technology which gave advantage to them.

3. Threat of Substitute Products:
Islamic mode of financing is a substitute for conventional banking system. Habib Metropolitan bank also start Islamic banking in Karachi and Lahore. 4. Bargaining Power of Buyers: Giant client bargain highly. Products or services have no high difference. Buyer has full information about whole banking industry in Pakistan then he/she may give tuff time for bargaining. Switching cost is not high from one bank to another; prospective banks charge low fees for switching. Banking products/services may unimportant to the quality of the buyers.

5. Bargaining Power of Supplier:
The State Bank of Pakistan control the whole banking industry and National Bank of Pakistan control the securities etc. They have power given by the Govt. of Pakistan. They control the cash requirements of the banks and all other banks follow the instructions given by the SBP.

RISK MANAGEMENT Credit risk: The HMB strategy is to minimize credit risk through a strong pre-disbursement credit analysis, approval and risk measurement process added with product, geography and customer diversification. The Bank, as its strategic preference, provides loans only to strong parties. Major portion of the Bank credit portfolio is Textile industry (54%) which is highly profitable business in Pakistan but it may riskier and not a good diversification of portfolio, if textile industry slump then it will crash the whole bank. The bank has very low rate of Non-performing loans. The ratios of risks are as under and we can see that they reduce the risk as per their objective.

Market Risk: Market risk is the possibility that fluctuation in interest rates, foreign exchange or stock prices will change the market value of financial products leading to a loss. The HMB has formalized liquidity and market risk management policies which contain action plans to strengthen the market risk management system. Foreign Exchange Risk: Foreign Exchange Risk is the probability of loss resulting from adverse movement is exchange rates. The HMB is not in the business of actively trading and market making activities but a conservative risk approach and the Bank’s business strategy to work with export oriented (Textile) client’s gives the ability to meet its foreign exchange needs.

Interest rate risk: Interest rate risk is the risk that the value of the financial instrument will fluctuate due to changes in the market interest rates. The HMB’s interest rate exposure is low due to the short-term nature of the majority of business transactions. Interest rate risk is also controlled through flexible credit pricing mechanism and variable deposit rates. Liquidity risk: HMB manages the liquidity position on a continuous basis. The Bank’s liquidity position is based on “self reliance” with a wide branch network to expand the Bank deposit base. The Bank’s liquidity profile generally consists of short-term, secured assets, in line with the Bank’s credit strategy.
