rental payments. MCB will give a separate unilateral undertaking that it will offer to sell
the asset to the customer (lessee) at the maturity of the Ijarah agreement at a price that
may be equal to the security deposit amount, hence the term ‘Wa Iqtina’.

The Islamic Banking initiative has been very successful in attracting new customer, both
individuals and companies. Similarly, those relationships, which were confined only to
current account facility, have grown into stronger business relationships. The branch
network was expanded to Lahore and Multan during the last year and recently been
extended to Hyderabad and Faisalabad. The Bank plans to further expand its Islamic
Banking branch network to other metropolitan areas and also to introduce new sharia
compliant banking solutions to a wider range of customers for satisfying their individual
and business needs.
Some wide-ranging new strategic initiatives were also taken up which will be important
for the Bank in years to come. A private company has been formed in Hong Kong (fully
owned subsidiary of MCB) in partnership with Standard Chartered Bank, handling trade
transactions of select countries in the Asia-Pacific region. It is projected to earn US$ 1
million in its first year of operations. To increase its international presence, the Bank will
be opening its representative office in Dubai and entering into major strategic alliances
with banks in the UAE/ especially for marketing our consumer banking products to non-
resident Pakistanis.
Furthermore, feasibility is also being carried out for entering other international markets.
MCB's operations continued to be streamlined with focus on rationalization of expenses,
re-alignment of back-end processing to increase productivity, enhancement of customer
service standards, process efficiency and controls. The Bank has taken the lead in
introducing the innovative concept of centralizing Trade Services in the country by
providing centralized foreign trade services to branches with a view to improve
efficiency, expertise and reduce delivery cost.
Management of Human Resources has been one of our core focus areas. MCB is
committed towards attracting, retaining and motivating outstanding people. Challenge
for MCB is to provide an environment in which employees can better realize their
potential. The Bank introduced 'reward for performance' where high potential officers
were identified and rewarded accordingly. In view of the competitive environment, the
IBIT - 20 -
Bank is focusing on performance and introducing a more robust performance
management system.
MCB is also strongly committed to training its staff at all levels.
The Bank will also be implementing the full suite of the latest version of SYMBOLS
Version 8. MCB Bank will run SYMBOLS E-Finance modules to deliver personalized
services to its customers over multiple delivery channels, while SYMBOLS Enterprise
Operations Center will serve as its core banking transaction-processing engine. By

Summary and recommendations
Overall summary
In a nut shell it can be concluded that the overall performance of the bank is quite
satisfactory. MCB's total assets, investments, deposits and equity has increased but
profitability has decreased by a soaring percentage of 58.23%. The reasons which I have
traced out of my analysis and studies are as follows;
Increased financial costs of funds for which expected investment revenues did not
IBIT - 38 -
open up.
Return on lending has been reduces
Bank has increased its classified advances by 35% to fulfill the requirements of
Prudential Regulations. The fresh increase is mainly 51% in the other assets
especially mentioned classification. According to the prudential regulations
requirements, accrued markup cannot be credited to income but to suspense
A/C.
During the year 2008, the economy of the country remained in sluggish. In spite
of various policy measure initiated by the government for confidence building of
the domestic and foreign investors and steps taken such as:
o Creation of small and medium entries development authority (SMEDA).
o Financing under prime minister's self employment scheme.
o Launching of Mera Ghar scheme etc.
o For revival of economy, the expected investment environment could not
be created and economy did not pick up.
The large number of non-commercial banking institutions (DFI's and NBFI's) also
competed for limited resources and investment avenues- thus further narrowing
the spread of banking industry.
Although, economic sanctions imposed as a result of nuclear blast and the
country's level of foreign debt and directly impending economic growth, but the
debt rescheduling at the Paris Club and large financial commitments by the
multilateral agencies will improve country's external position and provide a sound
footing for medium term planning. In this improved and stable economic
environment, the bank will get opportunities and by making sincere efforts can
increase its profitability and equity.
Previous year is expected to pose a tough market environment. Shortage of rains
and electricity can seriously impact overall GDP growth. The tight monetary policy is
IBIT - 39 -
impacting the country's exports with a ripple effect on the manufacturing sector. The
documentation drive, which is good for the country over a long period of time, is being
expectantly viewed with concern by certain segments. The combined impact of these
factors may cause a slowdown of economic activity in certain pockets of the economy.
On the positive side, the resolution of issues in political and pragmatic handling of the
documentation deive by the government and continuous efforts to normalize
international relations should bring positive results.
MCB is and will positioned and flexible enough to operate effectively in the changing
scenario. We will continue to broaden our customer base, harnessing the growing
strength of the MCB brand and expand the platform to provide value based propositions
to our customers.
Specific requirements for the organization
1. Banking today has entered into a new era of computer technology. With
introduction to intern on line banking, the distance between branches has
reduced in such a way that a customer maintains his account thousands of
kilometers away. Branches avail full facilities from other branches. This facility is
very common in foreign banks. My suggestion is that like many other sectors of
banking MCB should also take a lead in this sector.
2. As discussed above, this is an age of computer technology and the banks having
skilled working (in computer technology) will certainly be able to attain a faster
IBIT - 40 -
growth rate. My suggestion is that MCB should stress upon its employees to learn
computer technology and following incentives should be given to them for this
purpose.
3. Special training programs at staff colleges or computer training institutions should
be arranged.
4. Interest free loans to employees for purchase of personal computer may be
extended.
5. Special allowances for computer training will also help in achieving desired goals.
6. It is a fact which cannot be denied at any stage that both ladies and gentlemen
are facing great problems which they deposit utility bills no proper counter is
available. People have to stand outside the bank peeping in the window. The
collector sitting inside the bank does not care anything and doing the job at his
will/desire. This must be improved providing adequate facilities to customers.
7. Loan advances to bank employees are free from interest that is why huge amount
is taken as loan. This is not good as they are availing other benefits from bank like
bounces etc. Restriction must be imposed up to specific limit.
8. After privatization is seen that attitude and mal-treatment of staff towards people
has considerably changed ethic has promoted the business a lot, further
improvements also depends upon more good behavior.
9. Now a days a large number of books / documents / registers are being prepared
on computerized system. It saves time. All other books may be computerized if
possible to avoid error and mistakes.
10. New recruitment should be made on merit basis so that efficient, honest,
hardworking, reliable and dependable persons may be at hand to run the bank
easily on sound profit.
11. Bank should make a plan to gear up its recovery efforts on war footings and re-
organize the recovery function on global basis.
12. Bank should tighten up a control on expenditure.
IBIT - 41 -
At the end I wish for a rapid and successful growth and prosperity of MCB bank
limited which is already known as a progressive bank.

Specific recommendations for IBIT to improve its curricula and
methods of teaching to MBIT students
As the students of MBIT I learned a lot from respected teachers who always found
cooperative, helpful, and kind the know which I gained from them is treasure for my
whole life belongingness and affiliation with teachers and the department that is why
when I rewind the last two and a half year. I was unable to find out any weakness in any
of them.
Following recommendations are only places for the improvement and betterment. These
are only the step which I think should be taken to achievement.
● Degree of business education need recognition there should be effective
advertising for awareness of people.
● Faculty of MBIT department is not sufficient to satisfy the educational need of
students. Department lack experienced, skilled and professional permanent
faculty so new teachers should be appointed.
● Case study should be major part of the studies because it creates more
confidence in the students. So they could be able to adjust in multicultural
organization.
● It courses teachers only instruct it thorough books or slides while practive in
terms of concrete work in labs is lacking. That is why the students of IBIT remain
always confused what he knows in it in real sense. The market demands us much
in the field which we normally failed to provide them.
● Favoritism of teachers towards some specific students not only give that student
credit through unfair means but also upset and dampen the spirits of others. The
students who spend more and more time in the office of teachers get good
grades more easily. So there should be proper check and balanced on this issue.
● At the end MBIT burden should be reduced. Stress should be given on practical
and field work instead of bookish knowledge.
IBIT - 43 -
● The specialization must also be offered in more areas like HRM.
IBIT - 44 -
Specific recommendations for institute for the next internship in this
organization
Department should provide proper guide line to the students during learning about
their practical application in the field of business so that students becomes
familiar with business environment.
Our department must have developed close relations with reputed organizations
adequate help for management of internship can provided to the students.
The department should try to promote IBIT as a prestigious institute for clearing and
pay attention toward its promotion and advertisement in business sector.
The department should maintain a record of all its old students working in various fields
and present them as a source of motivation inspiration for the present students in the
department.
1. Practical field is quite different from theoretical knowledge. So an internee should
adopt himself / herself to know situation. He / she should be able to get firsthand
knowledge.
2. Have the quality of confidence.
3. Have a good communication.
4. Should be able to judge the situation.
5. Should have effort to doing best.
6. Have flexibility in opinion making.
7. It is golden rule for relaxation, satisfaction and success.
MCB bank limited is an attractive and suitable corporation for the internees as it provides
excellent learning opportunities to the students. Its culture is so inspiring and working
structure is so impressing that it motivates to work. All staff members are very
IBIT - 45 -
cooperative and helpful in providing guidance during internship. It is good place of
learning for future job.
