CHAIRMAN'S REVIEW
I am pleased to present, on behalf of the Board of Directors, the 10th Annual Report of the Bolan
Bank Limited, for the year ended December 31, 2001.
ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT:
In the context of Economic and Political Scenario, 2001 was a difficult year for Pakistan, with particular
reference to the event of September 11, 2001, which abruptly changed the whole complexion of Political
and Economic environment of the world. Pakistan's economy, which was struggling to survive with
continued international sanctions till September, 2001 was confronted with another turmoil being a front
state, when the allied forces started its operation in Afghanistan against terrorism. Although, Pakistan
was able to restore its lost image in the international community and the developed countries, appreciated
the policies of the government of Pakistan, no immediate benefit could be derived to help on the economic
front in the year 2001. Nevertheless, with the change of the government in Afghanistan and lifting of
sanctions against Pakistan, the donor countries, World Bank and IMF have started coming forward to
ease the burden on the economy of Pakistan, and it is hoped that the Pakistan's economy will come out
of crises and investors' confidence will be restored. There are visible signs for up-turn in the economy
with the strengthening of foreign exchange reserves and restructuring/rescheduling of foreign debts,
besides inflow of the aid coming from the donor countries and development agencies for improving basic
infra-structure, health and education.
BALANCE SHEET:
Despite these depressed economic environments, which adversely affected the financial markets, the
Bolan Bank Limited was able to maintain its continued growth in all fields of banking. The deposits of
the bank grew to Rs. 6,684.700M versus Rs. 5,243.174M in 2001 showing an increase of 27.5%. During
the year the advances of the bank increased to Rs. 3,001.893M as compared to Rs. 2,813.386M in the
preceding year, showing an increase of 6.7%. The import/export business of the bank also registered a
significant rise during the year and it increased to Rs. 6,457.403M versus Rs. 5,345.992M in 2000, an
increase of 20.79%. The remittances business of the bank also registered an unprecedented rise of 51.77%
during the year and it increased to Rs. 31,686.968M as compared to the figure of Rs. 20,877.570M in 2000.
The bank, as a matter of policy continued its emphasis on quality of assets, credit risk management and
post sanction monitoring. The recovery of non-performing loans (NPL) also remained a top priority during
the year. Consequently, the legal course initiated against the defaulters has started producing results
through execution of decrees whereby properties/stock charged to the bank are being auctioned and
proceeds utilised towards adjustments of outstanding liabilities.
Although, 90% of the stuck-up portfolio is covered by adequate collateral security, which has been verified
by the professional valuers on Pakistan Banks Association (PBA) approved panel and also certified by
the statutory auditors, the bank has taken a conservative view on its balance sheet by increasing its
provisions against non-performing loans (NPL) from Rs. 16.00M to Rs. 50.00M which will continue to
strengthen the balance sheet whereby surplus provisions would be available for appropriation as soon
as the proceeds of collateral security, which are in the pipe-line, are realised. The bank has also booked
to suspense account unrealised mark-up of Rs. 167.835M, which is being gradually recovered and will
also be available for booking to income account during the year 2002. These strict policies have been
adopted in order to meet the criteria under Prudential Regulations as well as International Accounting
Standards.
EQUITY:
In order to further strengthen the capital base, the sponsors directors of the bank have injected Rs. 255.585M
through subscription of Right Shares, which has increased the paid-up capital of the bank from
Rs. 507.938M to Rs. 763.523M and total equity to 856.493M as of December 31, 2001. During the year
2002 the paid-up capital of the bank will be increased further to Rs. 1.00 billion for which Right Shares
in the ratio of 1:1 have already been offered to the existing shareholders.
The value of existing fixed assets in the form of land and buildings has also increased from Rs. 520.643M
to Rs. 964.870M on the basis of latest valuations carried out by the independent chartered surveyors but
the same has not been capitalised during the year although providing indirect comfort and further strength
to the balance sheet.
CUSTOMER FOCUS:
The bank is pursuing a policy of achieving a level of excellence to provide customers with the banking
facilities of an international standard. During the year, the bank successfully launched on-line banking,
whereby all the branches in the important cities have been interconnected for banking transactions. The
bank also successfully implemented SWIFT, which is the fastest communication system available in the
world for effecting international transactions. In order to facilitate our customers as well as general public,
all 50 branches of Bolan Bank around the country are offering evening banking services upto 6.00 P.M.
to its clients besides collection of all types of utility bills.
BRANCH NETWORK:
While the bank was already having the largest network of 50 branches among the newly established private
banks in Pakistan, it was considered advisable to concentrate on its consolidation whereby the efficiency
and productivity of the branches could be increased. Accordingly, two branches were relocated/opened
at I.I. Chundrigar Road and Defence Housing Authority, Karachi. The performance of each branch in
relation to its viability as an independent unit is being assessed regularly and wherever found necessary
further relocation of the branches at a vintage points would be considered.
HUMAN RESOURCE:
Rationalisation of existing staff strength and induction of experienced personnel at the senior level was
undertaken during the year to improve the quality of manpower. In order to improve customer service,
staff is being trained and performance based incentives are being introduced to motivate the staff. The
salary and emoluments of the staff have also been revised upward to make them more attractive and
rewarding.
FUTURE OUTLOOK:
The performance of the bank during the year 2001 has strengthened the balance sheet with a sustainable
growth in all fields of banking. After successful launching of Consumer Banking during the year, which
has received an over whelming response from general public, the bank is contemplating to launch shortly
new products to facilitate small and medium enterprises. This will further diversify the investment
portfolio besides reinforcing consumer/retail banking for deposit mobilisation as well as providing
opportunities for acquiring higher margin consumer assets. In order to make Bolan Mahana Amadani
Scheme more competitive the condition of minimum deposit has been reduced from Rs. 50,000/- to
Rs. 25,000/-.
I would like to avail the opportunity to thank the State Bank of Pakistan and The Securities and Exchange
Commission of Pakistan for their continued guidance and support extended to us in running the affairs
of the bank in a prudent manner. It also remains for me to thank all the staff who have worked hard to
achieve the desired objectives and, in particular, our customers whose business and support, we greatly
value and to whom we strive to extend best of our cooperation and services all the times.
