Importance Of Mobilization Of Deposits In Banking System or Role Of Commercial Banks In Economic Development• Banking business can broadly be defined as

mobilization of deposits for onward lending in an economy for a better & faster rate of economic growth

• To receive deposits is one of the basic functions of all commercial banks.

• Borrowing funds from outside sources is all the more vital for banks because the entire banking system is based on it.

• The borrowed Capital of a bank is much greater than its own Capital.

• Bank’s borrowing is mostly in the form of deposits. Commercial banks do not receive these deposits for safe keeping purposes only, but they accept deposits as debts.

IMPGCC 1414

Importance Of Mobilization Of Deposits In Banking System or Role Of Commercial Banks In Economic Development

• When the bank receives the deposits as a debtor it becomes the owner of it. It may therefore use it as it deems appropriate.

• Those deposits are lent out to different parties.

• The borrowing needs are to be met , prudently so as to ensure that in the net analysis it does not become counter productive for the bank.

• Therefore it is imperative that while financing average cost of deposits and average return on reinvestment of deposits are always kept in view.

•

IMPGCC 1515


• The larger the difference between the rate at which these deposits are borrowed and the rate at which these are lent out , the greater will be the profit margin of the bank.

• Moreover, the larger the deposits the larger will be the funds available for investment and larger the funds lent out the greater will be the profit margin for the bank.

• It is because of this inter-related relationship that deposits are referred to as the life blood of a bank.

IMPGCC 1616


– However in deposit mobilization a prudent banker should always follow a policy of deposit mix for better profitability.

– Therefore the strategy should be – Deposit- mix with a standard rate of return to

depositors.– Lower the return payable better is the deposit-

mix adjustment .– Qualitative deposit rather than quantitative

deposit.– Preference for cost free or lower return payable

deposit.

Role of Financial Institutions in Economic DevelopmentModern Day RoleBanking system and the Financial Institutions play very

significant role in the economy. First and foremost is in the form of catering to the need of credit for all the sections of society. The modern economies in the world have developed primarily by making best use of the credit availability in their systems. An efficient banking system must cater to the needs of high end investors by making available high amounts of capital for big projects in the industrial, infrastructure and service sectors. At the same time, the medium and small ventures must also have credit available to them for new investment and expansion of the existing units. Rural sector in a country like Pakistan can grow only if cheaper credit is available to the farmers for their short and medium term needs.

IMPGCC 17

Credit availability for infrastructure sector is also extremely important. The success of any financial system can be measured by finding out the availability of reliable and adequate credit for infrastructure projects

The banks and the financial institutions also cater to another important need of the society i.e. mopping up small savings at reasonable rates with several options. The common man has the option to park his savings under a few alternatives, including the small savings schemes introduced by the government from time to time and in bank deposits in the form of savings deposits and time deposits. Another option is to invest in the stocks or mutual funds.

IMPGCC 18

Role of Financial Institutions in Economic Development

In addition to the above traditional role, the banks and the financial institutions also perform certain new-age functions which could not be thought of a couple of decades ago. The facility of internet banking enables a consumer to access and operate his bank account without actually visiting the bank premises. The facility of ATMs and the credit/debit cards has revolutionized the choices available with the customers. The banks also serve as alternative gateways for making payments on account of income tax and online payment of various bills like the telephone, electricity and tax. The bank customers can also invest their funds in various stocks or mutual funds straight from their bank accounts. In the modern day economy, where people have no time to make these payments by standing in queue, the service provided by the banks is commendable.

IMPGCC 19


While the commercial banks cater to the banking needs of the people in the cities and towns, there is another category of banks that looks after the credit and banking needs of the people living in the rural areas, particularly the farmers. These banks, along with the cooperative banks, take care of the farmer-specific needs of credit and other banking facilities.

Banks today are free to determine their interest rates within the given limits prescribed by SBP. It is now easier for the banks to open new branches. But the banking sector reforms are still not complete.

Banks and financial intuitions have played major role in the economic development of the country and most of the credit- related schemes of the government to uplift the poorer and the under-privileged sections have been implemented through the banking sector. The role of the banks has been important, but it is going to be even more important in the future.

Major Functions 1. Mobilization of Savings Commercial banks inculcate the habit of savings

among people through their different innovative / attractive saving

products. 2. Capital Formation Once the deposit money is financed to any individual

Banking in Pakistan (cont…)With the hope the banking would enter a new era of

further development and progress the commercial banks were nationalized in 1974

Later on it was realized that this step has proved counter productive hence reversal has been initiated since 1991

Besides privatization of nationalized commercial banks establishment of commercial banks in private sector has also been encouraged

Consequently a large number of commercial and other banks have come into operation in private sector offering prompt, courteous, and efficient service to the customers

Savings Banks

The function of these banks is to inculcate the habit of saving among people. Post Office Savings Banks and Savings Accounts in National Savings Centers are treated in this category.


Mortgage Banks These Banks mainly provide loans for

construction, acquisition of real estate against mortgages as security. The existence of these banks is minimal due to active diversification of operations by commercial banks in this field

Merchant Banks These banks were involved in financing of

domestic and international trade in UK. Due to active role of commercial banks in almost every field of banking the existence and use of merchant bank term is faded away.

consumer durables / consumption goods. The involvement of commercial banks in consumer banking operations aggressively has faded away their separate existence

country where they are incorporated and licensed and are not affiliated to any financial services group that is subject to effective consolidated supervision.

Such structures are a particular feature of some offshore centers.


IMPGCC 4343

Offshore Banks The features of Offshore Banking Unit are

Less restrictive legal regulation Low or no taxation Protection against local political or financial instability

banking falls in risky zone.

Scheduled Vs. Non Scheduled Banks The major difference between scheduled and

non scheduled bank is that the scheduled bank is registered and commercial banking license holder from the central bank of the country to maintain chequing accounts of the customers whereas non scheduled banks cannot maintains chequing accounts. In Pakistan there is no non scheduled bank at the moment. There are scheduled banks or otherwise the financial institutions.
