DIRECTORS REPORT AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REVIEW
To Our Shareholders and Clients
As Salam Alaykoum Wa Rahmatouh Allah Wa Barakatouh.
On behalf of your Board of Directors, it gives me great pleasure to
present this report of your Bank's operations for the year ended
December 31, 1996.
ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE
1996 was a year of consolidation and recovery for AFIBL. Our
balance sheet footing exhibited an increase of over 25% with a net
increase of 26% in the total client's account base. Similarly, there
was a corresponding increase of 26% in the morabaha financing, which
considerably helped improve our profitability position. The Stock Ex-
change index which was 2048 at the end of December 1994 and 1498
at December 1995, dropped further to 1340 at December'1996.
PERFORMANCE REVIEW
It is gratifying for me to report that the bank has made all round
progress against the back drop of uncertainty and non-conducive
business conditions.
While overall business conditions remained difficult, this was more
so in the case of investment banks. Domestic Savings mobilisation
was affected by increased returns announced by the Government of
Pakistan on its own savings schemes. Regulatory restrictions of
funds with minimum one year maturity have made more difficult
foreign currency mobilisation. Further, cost of domestic and foreign
currency accounts has increased due to introduction of 1% cash re-
quirements and 4% increase (from 15% to 19%) in liquidity ratio to be
maintained by investment banks. The overall effect of the above has
led to the erosion of profits and reduced margin for investment banks.
Against this background, your bank recorded a net increase of 26%
in its client's accounts base. This was utilised in carefully selected
morabaha financing. which increased by 26%.Total Assets increased
by 25%, Revenue increased by 31% and Profit before Provisions and
Taxation increased by 61%. Income from morabaha financing in-
creased by 17.7% and income from Investments and Bank Place-
ments increased by 81%. Fee income from Corporate Finance &
Advisory Services was maintained during a difficult year. This was
made possible by earning Rs. 120 million through completing major
transactions in diversified revenue sources. Administrative &
Operating Expenses were actually reduced by 2.4% by effective cost
management.
Our four core businesses are:
I. Morabaha Financing
This continues to be the main source of bank's income and in
1996 the total financing grew by 26% to Rs. 8.1 billion. We have
been cautious in the valuation of risk but after careful scrutiny
financing.
II. Capital Markets and Investment Management Services
The market remained depressed with trading activity confined to
a few selected scrips.
We have followed policy of prudent progress. We believe that our
commitment to strengthen your bank will strengthen our client
relationship and market confidence. To demonstrate our policy in
actual practice, we made a downward adjustment of Rs. 83.84
investments and provisions of Rs. 59.45 million in respect of
investments under Purchase and Resale agreements.
III. Corporate Finance and Advisory Services
Our decision to diversify the sources of our revenue has paid off.
We have been successful in completing major transactions and
earning an income of Rs. 120 million. This is quite an achieve-
ment, considering the lacklustre performance of the stock market,
continued political uncertainty and a fast deteriorating economic
environment. The continued decline in the share value severely
restricted the investment bank's corporate activities on the stock
market including Pre-IPO s and underwriting.
IV. Private Client Services
We continue to focus our efforts on building long term relation-
ship and offering range of improved products, based on a
thorough understanding of our customers' needs.
Customer confidence in our Private Client Services is reflected in
long term investment account, which are 35% of total customers'
balances. These increased to Rs. 3.6 billion and overall balances
in clients' accounts increased by 30% to Rs. 10.3 billion.
HUMAN RESOURCES
Your Directors believe that our most important asset is our staff.
1996 was a year of recovery and rationalisation. We continue to
enhance our corporate culture of fairness in recognition and com-
prehension. We set corporate goals in open discussions and achieve
our targets by worthy individual conduct, team work and focused
approach.
THE BOARD
During the year, there were changes in the Board of Directors. The
following Directors left the Board. We will miss their counsel and
place on record our gratitude to them ·
Mr. Nabil Abdul Ellah Nassief
Mr. M. Asadullah Sheikh
Mr. Zafar Ahmed Khan
The following new Directors joined the Board. Their expertise and
experience will be a great value to your Bank.
Mr. Imtiaz Ahmed Pervez
Mr. Mahmood A. Faruqui
Mr. Razi-Ur- Rehman Khan
Your Directors are sanguine that 1997 will improve Pakistan's
ecofiomic environment, strengthen domestic and foreign investment
with consequential beneficial effects on the partnership between our
clients and AFIBL, in the true spirit of Islamic Banking.
