The history of National Bank of Pakistan is part of Pakistans struggle for economic
independence. National Bank of Pakistan was established on November 9, 1949 under
the National Bank of Pakistan Ordinance, 1949 in order to cope with the crisis
conditions which were developed after trade deadlock with India and devaluation of
Indian Rupee in 1949.
The primary objective of NBP was to purchase jute from the growers in the former
East Pakistan and also to perform the commercial banking functions in the country.
NBP maintains its position as Pakistan's Premier Bank with a network of over 1410
branches locally, 23 overseas branches, 9 National and International Subsidiaries and
10 Regional/Representative Offices all over the world. The bank is the higher
financial in agriculture and commodity operation sector. It has diversified its business
portfolio and is today a major lead player in the debt equity market, corporate
investment banking, retail and consumer banking, agricultural financing, treasury
services and is showing growing interest in promoting and developing the country's
small and medium enterprises and at the same time fulfilling its social responsibilities,
as a corporate citizen.
NBP maintains its position as Pakistanis premier bank determined to set higher
standards of achievements. It is the major business partner for the government of
Pakistan with special emphasis on fostering Pakistanis economic growth aggressive
and balanced lending policies, technologically oriented branches. It is a semipublic
bank and functions like other commercial banks. Therefore it receives funds from the
depositors and provides loans /credits facilities in all sectors including trade, industry
and agriculture. It also functions as an agent of the Central Bank and operates the
treasuries at places where no branch of State Bank of Pakistan exists.
The bank has implemented special credit schemes like small finance for agriculture,
business and industries, administrator to Qarz-e-Hasna loans to students, self-
employment scheme for unemployed persons, public transport scheme. National Bank
of Pakistan is today a progressive, efficient, and customer focused institution. It has

A number of initiatives have been taken, in terms of institutional restructuring,
changes in the field structure, in policies and procedures, in internal control systems
with special emphasis on corporate governance, adoption of Capital Adequacy

Business Volume
In today's competitive business environment, NBP needed to redefine its role and shed
the public sector bank image, for a modern commercial bank. It has offloaded 23.2
percent share in the stock market, and while it has not been completely privatized like
the other three public sector banks, partial privatization has taken place. It is now
listed on the Karachi/Islamabad/Lahore Stock Exchanges.
Compared to March 2014, deposits have increased by around 12%, while advances
marginally increased by 0.4%. From December 2014, advances have declined by
2.9% mainly due to seasonal adjustments. Mobilizing low cost deposit especially
CASA with major emphasis on increasing current accounts is one of the top focus
areas and we believe that the bank can significantly improve the growth by leveraging
its existing customer base and improving existing products delivery.
The bank is strongly capitalized with capital and reserves of Rs. 166.8 billion, which
translates into break- up value per share of Rs.78/- per share.
Banking sector spreads are expected to remain under pressure. The bank is focusing
on consolidation and recoveries to bring down non-performing loans. Recovery of
overdue payments from PSEs is our major challenge. Our Islamic banking plans to
convert 150 National Bank conventional branches to Islamic banking in next two
years. As part of this plan, 14 conventional branches have successfully been converted
to Islamic Banking Branches till first
Quarter 2015. The bank plans to convert total of 64 more branches to Islamic banking
branches in 2015. Core Banking Application (CBA) rollout in 1,100 plus remaining
NBP branches is under implementation in 2015 to utilize maximum benefit of
automation and facilitating NBP customers with enhanced services. This year we have
converted 180 additional branches on CBA taking total branches on the new platform
at 453. The bank plans to add 1,000 ATMs to its network by 2015, out which 250
ATM project is under implementation and remaining 750 ATMs are planned to be
installed by the end of 2015. The bank has accelerated its efforts to strengthen
compliance culture in the organization. Special emphasis has been placed on
following the regulations on Anti Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your
Customer (KYC).

is a potential in the market to meet these additional targets. This branch is performing

Critical Analysis
During the internship I got practical experience that does not meet the theoretical
concepts in BBA Program. I present here some critical analysis:
Long Process of Transaction: There are long processes for making a
transaction in the Bank. Especially, during the salary days of Government
employees, a customer needs one or two hours to withdrawal his/her cheque.
Training: NBP has no great facility for their employees for training of new
technologies. This situation creates difficulty for handling new challenge.
Departmentalization: I saw many separate departments in the branch where I
have got internship. Every employee perform its own function
Staff Attitude: Staff attitude was very ideal in the main branch of NBP
(Multan).All the employees were very co- operative and they supported me in
the completion of my internship
Work Environment: Work environment was not ideal due to heavy customers
visit in a single day. Furniture, temperature, light and sitting arrangement was
not good for customers and bank employees.
Professional Approach: Work specialization and job specification are found
very low in banks employees. Business administration qualities and education
is at low side.
Shortage of Staff: There is shortage of staff in the Bank. Number of customer
per employee is very high. Cash department is suffering very badly and facing
great deal of over workload.
Less use of Technologies: Staff hesitates to use new technologies. Even old
employees are not able to operate PCs.
Communication Gap: I feel that there is communication gap between top
management and workers. They have fewer chances to communicate
effectively.
Not Focusing on Mission and Objectives: Employees just work and work hard
as a routine. They do not know what the mission ahead is and their objectives
are also not crystal clear.
Unjustified Appraisal Criteria: No justified appraisal criteria are implemented
for annual increase in salary and promotion of staff. It creates un-satisfaction
among the employees of the Bank.

SWOT analysis is one of the most important steps in formulating strategy using the
organization mission as a context, managers assess internal strengths distinctive
competencies and weakness and external opportunities and threats. The goal is to then
develop good strategies and exploit opportunities and strengths neutralize threats and
avoid weaknesses.
Strengths
NBP in one of the oldest bank of Pakistan and first nationalized bank Hence
its customer base is strength from this plus point as customers have more
confidence in the bank. The additional value services as the privilege for the
bank.
Only NBP is authorized to advance loan against gold. This function makes the
NBP able to earn profit on the gld. This function becomes the major source of
income of NBP.
When Govt. Starts any new scheme of loan to assist the public, then normally
NBP is authorized to implement it. It is provided with the funds from the
Govt. To advance this loan to public, it earns profit on it which increases its
overall income.
NBP has the relative competence in having more deposits than the other bank.
This is because of the confidence the customer have in the bank. The bank
being the privileged and oldest bank in banking sector of Pakistan enjoys this
edge over all others, lacking it.

Weaknesses
The strong political hold of some parties and government and their dominance
is affecting the bank in a negative way. They sometime have to provide loan
under the pressure, which leads to uneven and adjusted feeling in the bank
employees.
The promotions and bonuses etc in the bank are often powered by seniors
favoritism or depends upon their wills and decision. This adds to the negative
factors, which denominate the employees thus resulting in affecting their
performance negatively.
During the rush hours, the bank is founded out to be a total flop to handle the
mob of people peaking from windows and doors. The bank has deficiency to
operate in the stages of rush hours where the people find them services
entangled in a situation of nowhere because they are not well served.
The bank lack the strength of being powered by the network of computers,
which have saved time, energy and would have lessened the mental stress, the
employees have currently. This would add to the strength if it were powered
by network of computers.
Opportunities
The world today has become a global village because of advancement in the
technologies, especially in communication sector. More emphasis is now
given to avail the modern technologies to better the performances. NBP can
utilize the electronic banking opportunity to ensure on line banking 24 hours a
day. This would give a competitive edge over others.
Being a Government Bank NBP having wide scope in economic market
Banks deposit is increasing rapidly so there is a great opportunity to enhance
its investment and financing.
Proper advertising of the products of the bank.
Threats
INTERNSHIP REPORT | 55
National Bank of Pakistan
The bank is facing threats with the emergence of new competitors especially
in terms of foreign banks. These foreign banks are equipped with heavy
financial power with excellent and innovative ways of promoting and
performing their services. The bank has to take initiative in this regard or will
find itself far back in competition.
The ongoing shift in power in political arena in the country effects the
performance of the bank has to forward loans to politically powerful persons
which create a sense of insecurity and demoralization in the customer as well.

Conclusion
According to the reports facts and figures, it can be conclude that the NBP is a
financially sound bank. Its profits are increasing year by year. Under the leadership of
higher management NBP has made significant progress in building and strengthening
both the corporate and retail banking sectors in Pakistan. The bank attained a very
good position in terms of its balance sheet size amongst the private banks in Pakistan.
Revenues from these activities have started yielding dividends and can be expect
significant growth in these areas in the coming years.
