Non Banking Financial Institutions Definition An establishment that focuses on dealing with financial transactions such
as investment, loans and deposits. Conventionally financial institutions are composed of organizations such as Banks, DFI’s, Leasing Companies, Insurance Companies, Investment Banks and Modaraba Companies.
In financial economics a financial institution is an institution that provides services for its clients or members. Probably the most important financial service provided by financial institutions is acting as financial intermediaries.
Almost everyone has deal with a financial institution on regular basis. Every thing from depositing money to taking out loans and exchange currencies must be done through financial institutions.
Since all people depend on services provided by financial institutions, it is imperative that they must be regulated by the Federal Government.

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 12
IMPGCC 13 13
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.

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

Importance Of Mobilization Of Deposits In Banking System or Role Of Commercial Banks In Economic Development
– 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.
IMPGCC 15
Role of Financial Institutions in Economic Development Modern Day Role Banking 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 16 IMPGCC 16
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 17
Role of Financial Institutions in Economic Development
IMPGCC 17
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 18
Role of Financial Institutions in Economic Development
IMPGCC 18
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. IMPGCC 19
Role of Financial Institutions in Economic Development
IMPGCC 19
Regulatory Developments DFI’s/ IB’s are regulated by SBP. NBFC’s, Mutual Funds and Modarabas
are regulated by SECP. Over the last many years the non‐bank financial sector has carved out a
place for itself in Pakistan financial market, even though a large portion of financial assets continue to be managed by commercial banks.
The regulatory requirement in Pakistan has strengthened over time with increased comprehensiveness in Prudential Regulations and improved standards of corporate governance.
In November 2008 the SECP implemented some measures to revamp the regulatory frame work for the non banking finance companies, the concept of which was introduced in 2002 when the regulatory responsibility of these financial institutions was transferred to SECP from SBP.
IMPGCC 20
Regulatory Developments Keeping in view the dynamics of the broad financial sector in which the
NBFCs operate SECP amended the non banking finance companies rules 2003 in addition to issuing the non banking finance companies & notified regulations 2007.
Notified Entities:‐A company or a class of companies or corporate body or trust or person as notified by the federal government. These entities are engaged in business not covered under section 282A(a).
While the emended rules are based on SECP’s experience with the NBFC sector since 2002. The new NBFCs regulations incorporate SECPs enhanced powers as laid down in the finance act 2007. The new regulation specifies the requisite parameters for the formation of various types of NBFCs and address all operational aspects & issues for NBFCs & their notified entities .
IMPGCC 21
Regulatory Developments Notably all the previously issued Prudential Regulations for NBFCs have
been merged into these regulations. In August 2009 SECP issued a revised version of the 2007 Regulations in
the form of Non Banking Finance Companies and Notified Entities Regulations 2008 to clarify the certain legal interpretations of the 2007 Regulations and address market related operational issues.
Consequently the new regulatory framework now consists of NBFCs Rules 2003(amended ) and Non Banking Finance Companies and Notified Entities Regulations 2008.
The main concern of the new regulations is to enable NBFCs to increase equity capital significantly and to expand the deposit resource mobilization capability of the NBFCs
IMPGCC 22
Regulatory Developments Another major cause of concern far NBFCs commercial viability stems
from the limited source for resource mobilization. The extensive reliance on credit lines from banks & other financial institutions has continued to pose problems for NBFCs in terms of the high cost of funding. While some NBFCs are allowed to raise retail deposits in the form of Certificates of Investments ( CoIs), the amount so raised is generally not sufficient for them to finance their business activities & expand their operations. As a result NBFCs continue to operate at a disadvantage in comparison with the banking sector which has access to relatively low cost funds.
The 2008 Regulations allow NBFCs offering leasing, housing finance and investment finance services to raise deposits from CoIs with tenors of 30 days & above as opposed to the previous restriction on the minimum tenor of deposits to be of 3 months.
IMPGCC 23
Operating Environment A public limited company engaged in the business of asset management,
investment finance, leasing, housing finance, venture capital investment, discounting and investment advisory or a combination of these services, is categorized as an NBFC. For each financial service that an NBFC provides, it needs a separate license from the SECP. Prior to the issuance of the 2008 Regulations , any business entity which compiled with the progressively tiered capital requirements for each type of business (adding up to Rs 835 million for all types of NBFC licenses) could undertake all businesses allowed under the NBFC framework. The new regulatory framework, however, has created necessary firewalls between investment advisory & asset management services on one hand and leasing, housing finance , discounting & investment finance services on the other.
IMPGCC 24
Operating Environment This essentially means that companies which undertake the business of
asset management & investment advisory cannot at the same time offer leasing, discounting, housing finance, investment finance services or venture capital investment simply by complying with the minimum capital requirements. In a way, this measure is a contravention of the universal banking model of financial services provided under the NBFC framework, but is essentially intended to minimize the functional overlapping that often leads to conflict of interest within the NBFC sector. An additional requirement in the new regulations is that an NBFC engaged in a combination of leasing, investment finance and housing finance services, needs to invest at least 20 per cent of its assets in each such form of business.
IMPGCC 25
Operating Environment Another important change in the regulations is the amendment criteria
for the classification of non performing loans applicable until Ist July 2010, where the classification criteria has been made more stringent (severe) by the elimination of the OAEM category, with direct classification into sub – standard loans after an overdue period of 90 days.
New requirements, applicable from 1st July 2011 distinguish between short, medium and long term financial facilities, along with increased provisioning requirements.
Time Based Classification Provisioning ‐ Substandard after 90 Days 25% ‐ Doubtful ‐ do ‐ 180 Days 50% ‐ Loss ‐ do ‐ One Year 100%

Performance Review NBFI’s As is clear from the above data the assets of NBFIs after increasing
during FY07‐FY08 declined by 19.7% by the end of FY09. The relative position of various NBFIs is also given in the above
table. Mutual funds lead the sector with share 47.9%. Their share also
after increasing during FY07‐FY08 declined to 47.9% by the end of FY09. Similarly shares of investment finance companies and modaraba companies have also reduced to 6.6% and 4.9% respectively. On the other hand shares of investment finance companies which had been previously declining improved to 24.2% in FY09, while those of leasing companies and venture capital companies also improved during the year.
IMPGCC 29
Performance Review NBFI’s Notably mutual funds represents the only sub category which
has recorded remarkable growth year after year. The above data also reflects that NBFIs faced a rather
difficult operating environment in FY09. Struggling to remain commercially viable even in normal circumstances these financial institutions were particularly hit hard by the slow down in the economy and associated deterioration in the macro economic indicators.
IMPGCC 30
Performance Review NBFI’s The composition of NBFI’s sectors at the end of FY10 is as given below. Discount Houses 0 Venture Capitals 3 HFCs 1 DFIs 8 IFCs 8 Leasing 9 Modarabas 26 Mutual Funds 121 Total 176
IMPGCC 31
Performance Review NBFI’s As SECP allows each NBFC to hold multiple licenses 72
NBFCs hold 78 licenses for providing various financial services as permissible under the NBFCs rules.
During FY10 SECP granted 19 new licenses all of which were for conducting asset management services through mutual funds while no new license was granted for any other business category.
IMPGCC 32
Investment Finance Companies The role of Investment Finance Companies (IFCs) as a viable
component of the domestic financial sector has been rather debatable. In their traditional role, investment banks render services such as investment advisory, corporate restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, equity and debt financing, etc. In doing so, investment banks offer an altogether different array of financial services in comparison with the commercial banking industry. However, IFCs in Pakistan have generally not been able to carve out a position for themselves, and over time they have shown a preference for business activities similar to those undertaken by commercial banks, with a distinct competitive disadvantage in terms of access to low cost funds.
(array – a large group of people or services, carve out – to make/obtain a place through skillful business activities)
IMPGCC 33
Investment Finance Companies Being unable to generate sufficient fee‐based income from
advisory services, or interest‐based income from financing long‐term projects in the economy, several investment banks have opted to merge with commercial banks over the years, and there are now very few dedicated players in this area. It is essential for these institutions to re‐examine their operational strategy in order to optimize (to be hopeful and think about the good part) on their potential strengths if they are to sustain commercial viability.
IMPGCC 34
Investment Finance Companies • In FY09 there were 8 operative IFCs, with a share of 6.6 percent in the
aggregate assets of NBFCs. • An assessment of IFCs funding base indicates that these institutions
have a significant reliance on borrowings from other financial institutions . The other main constituent of IFCs’ liabilities are Certificates of Investments (CoIs). IFCs relied more on investments rather than advances in expanding their asset base.
These various factors have impinged on (to have an effect on something) IFCs profitability position in FY09.
IMPGCC 35
Investment Finance Companies • Going forward, the 8 operative IFCs need to realign their
business strategies with the financing needs of the economy, foremost of which is infrastructure financing, which generally has a long gestation period. Notably, investment banking arms of leading commercial banks have taken the lead in financing infrastructure projects, while IFCs have taken a back seat and have relied more on generating income from investments. Both the SECP and market participants need to devise a sustainable business model for IFCs if these specialized institutions are to remain commercially viable in an increasingly competitive financial sector.
• (infrastructure – the basic structure on which an organization is built and which makes it able to work, gestation period – period of growth or development) IMPGCC 36

Leasing Ijarah (Leasing) Ijarah is defined as an agreement by which a person (lessee) obtains the use of an asset from another (lessor) for a given period of time in return for a mutually agreed rent, terms and conditions. The ownership of the leased asset is transferred to the lessee after the payment of the lease amount. Since the inception of the first leasing company in 1984, the leasing sector has played a prominent role in the financial sector. However competitive pressures from the banking industry have had a significant impact on its size over the years, such that the number of operating leasing companies has reduced from 12 in FY08 to 10 in FY09. Encouragingly, the leasing sector continues to expand its asset base with a clear focus on lease finance which forms 75 percent of total assets at end‐FY09. Notably, the leasing business is concentrated in the top 4 companies in the sector. In FY09, profitability of the sector detriorated due to high financial expenses and provisioning cost.
IMPGCC 38
Venture Capital Investment Venture Capital (VC) investment typically refers to capital provided for
start‐up businesses with potential for high growth. Due to the high risk nature of their investments, venture capital companies require a commensurate rate of return, along with some measure of control over the management and strategic orientation of the investee company. Venture capitalists usually exit from the project after a relatively short period of time i.e. 3 to 7 years, when the equity is either sold back to the client company or offered on the stock‐exchange.
• VC business in Pakistan has essentially remained limited in scope despite the enabling regulatory framework provided by the SECP which has set forth the rules and requirements for VC investments in the NBFCs Rules.
• (commensurate – correct and suitable amount compared to something else)
IMPGCC 39
Venture Capital Investment Some of the impediments in the growth of the VC industry in Pakistan were:
(1) Complex legal framework, (2) Lack of appropriate tax incentives, (3) Limited exit options, (4) Restrictions on institutional investors to participate in venture capital funds, (5) Unavailability of data on foreign funds’ participation in local firms and (6) Inadequate institutional support.
• Keeping in view the significant growth potential of in emerging economies like Pakistan, SECP issued the “The Private Equity and Venture Capital Fund Regulations, 2008” (PE&VCF Regulations) in August 2008. However, despite the enabling regulatory framework provided by the SECP, Venture Capital (VC) industry is developing rather gradually. At end‐FY09, there were 3 operative VC companies which accounted for a mere 0.4 percent of aggregate assets of the non‐bank financial sector.
• (impede – to slow down or cause problems for the advancement or completion of something)
IMPGCC 40
Modarabas Modaraba means a business in which a person paticipates with his money and another
with his efforts and skills or both.
The person who provides money is called owner or Modarib and the person who utilises is called Aamal.
Banks and financial institutions are not authorized to float a Modaraba. Only such companies which are registered as a Modarabs company can do so.
The amount of return on funds invested in Modarabe is not fixed nor predetermined. The amount of profit or loss depends upon the operational results of the company.
The concept of ‘Modaraba’ started during the 1980s with the promulgation of the ‘Modaraba Companies and Modaraba (floatation & Control) Ordinance’ in 1980 (the Modaraba Ordinance) that provided a statutory framework for sharia‐compliant business opportunities in the country. In term of number of companies, the modaraba sector is the second largest sector after mutual funds with 26 modaraba companies; however the size of the modaraba sector, in term of its share in total NBFI assets is relatively small at 4.9 percent at end‐FY09.
(promulgate – to announce publicly) IMPGCC 41
Modarabas Major funding source of modaraba companies include floatation of modaraba in
the form of equity, and financing facilities from banks and other financial institutions in the form of various Islamic financing arrangements. These funds are largely utilized in the three financing agreements, namely Musharika, Murabaha and Ijarah, which were approved by the Religious Board in the early 1990s; in addition to that these funds are also utilized for investing in shares of sharia‐compliant listed companies.
Over the period, in order to promote the modaraba sector, SECP has introduced various policy initiatives. Earlier in FY08, to provide diversification, SECP approved new financing modes which were approved by the Religious Board. Additionally, a conceptual framework for the issuance of Sukuks by modaraba companies, with a tenor of 90 to 365 days, was also approved. Both these initiatives were primarily aimed at providing an enabling environment for modaraba companies to enhance their outreach, foster product diversification and ensure sustainable growth.
The Sukuk is a financial instrument which generates an income for the holder of the instrument similar to trust certificates. The instrument (Sukuk) is also known as Islamic Bond. IMPGCC 42
Modarabas Relative size of each modaraba company – in terms of shares in total assets and total
equity ‐ clearly indicates that the modaraba sector has suffered from widespread fragmentation in the form of a large number of small and weak entities, with limited market share. Although the concentration indicators have shown some sign of improvement in FY09 but this was mainly due to the merger of Al‐Zamin Leasing Modaraba which was the third largest modaraba in term of assets size. Consequently, share of top 10 modarabas in the total assets and total equity of the sector have reduced to 83.3 percent and 74.9 percent, respectively in FY09.
Musharika Financing Under the mode of Musharika a Bank/ Financial Institution participates by providing finance on the basis of profit and loss sharing. It may be defined as a temporary and restricted type of partnership.
A certain amount of profit as determined mutually is paid to the customer – entrepreneur as management fee. The profit left after payment of management fee may be shared in any pre‐ agreed proportion specified in the Musharika Agreement.
Murabaha Is defined as ‘a sale of goods by a person to another under an arrangement whereby the seller is obliged to disclose to the buyer the cost of goods sold and an agreed margin of profit included in the sale price of goods to be sold, either on cash or on a deferred payment basis’.
IMPGCC 43
Modarabas This is the form designed specially to finance trade and working capital needs. In this form
the bank provides finance for the purchase of goods, imports and raw material. Since the customer makes the payment at a later date Murabaha is also called ‘Bai Muwajjal’.
Ijarah (Leasing) Ijarah is defined as an agreement by which a person (lessee) obtains the use of an asset from another (lessor) for a given period of time in return for a mutually agreed rent, terms and conditions. The ownership of the leased asset is transferred to the lessee after the payment of the lease amount.
All types of business organizations can obtain financing facility by lease financing.
During FY09, modaraba sector’s financial position remained stressed due to the weak macroeconomic environment and competition from the banking sector. Asset base of modaraba companies declined by 22.1 percent in FY09, after registering average growth of around 19 percent in the previous four years. Notably, modarabas are relatively less dependent on borrowings as their primary source of funding, and tend to mobilize deposits in the form of certificates of investment.
Going forward, with the objective of enhancing the modaraba sector’s performance, profitability and future growth, SECP is planning to conduct the first exhaustive review of the Modaraba Ordinance of 1980 and underlying Modaraba Rules. Similarly, amendments in Prudential Regulations for Modarabas are also in process. IMPGCC 44
Housing Finance Housing finance services offered in Pakistan are still at an evolutionary
stage due to both demand and supply side factors. House Finance is a long term finance.
Mortgage finance in the domestic financial system is being offered by the Housing Building Finance Corporation Limited (HBFC), banks and NBFCs licensed to offer housing finance facilities. While banks are still relatively new in this area, they have emerged as a major provider of housing finance largely due to access to low cost funds and better outreach. They provide two third of housing loans in a typical year.
IMPGCC 45
Housing Finance Mortgage finance is generally extended for three purposes i.e.
construction, outright purchases and renovation. During CY09, as a result of slowdown in economic activities, mortgage loans for construction and outright purchases grew by only 3.4 percent and 6 percent respectively, as compared to 12.5 percent and 29 percent respectively in CY08, whereas loans for renovation depicted negative growth of 19 percent, as against significant growth of 57 percent in CY08.
Key performance indicators of HFCs reflect improvement in the overall performance of HFCs during FY09, compared to FY08. The share of investments in total assets improved to 19.1 percent in FY09, compared to 13.4 percent in the previous year, mainly due to a growth of 44.3 percent in investments. As a result of the increase in investments coupled with the 4.4 percent growth in housing finance, the share of earning assets in total assets improved to 92 percent in FY09, from 84 2 percent in FY08
IMPGCC 46
Development Finance Institutions The 7 Development Finance Institutions (DFIs)17 operating in Pakistan18
are all joint ventures between the Government of Pakistan with Governments of Saudi Arabia, Iran, Brunei, Kuwait, Libya, China and Oman. Both Pak‐China Investment Company and Pak‐Iran Investment Company are relatively newer DFIs, having started their operations as recently as CY08. These DFIs operate under the broad objective of facilitating investment in the country and improving bi‐lateral relations.
In CY09, despite the slow economic activities in the country, aggregate assets of DFIs grew by 33.7 percent to Rs. 113.8 billion, as against negative growths in the previous two years. This growth was largely broad based where almost all DFIs showed significant improvement in their assets (average growth 45 percent) in CY09.
IMPGCC 47
Development Finance Institutions Assets composition of DFIs indicates that while DFIs have made efforts
to expand their loan book, as evident by the steady rise in the share of advances since CY07, investments have grown more significantly at 62.3 percent. Consequently, the share of investments in total assets has risen to 51.5 percent in CY09, from 42.4 percent during.
Data on DFIs’ investment portfolio by category indicates significant changes in their investment preferences: like banks, DFIs are diverting their loanable pool of fund towards risk‐free investment avenues i.e. government securities.
IMPGCC 48
Development Finance Institutions During CY09, composition of DFIs’ funding base exhibited substantial
improvement in their deposit base, which grew substantially by 207 percent to Rs.18 billion, compared to negative growth of 50 percent in CY08.
The key asset quality indicators deteriorated slightly during CY09, due to which DFIs set aside significant provisioning as is evident in the increase in the provisions to NPLs ratio to 76.2 percent in CY09, compared to 64 percent in CY08. Profitability indicators, on the other hand, remained stressed in CY09 mainly due to the rise in provisioning expenses by 56 percent to Rs.5.7 billion.
Mutual fund industry in Pakistan witnessed an era of rapid growth since FY02 with an average growth rate of about 57 percent for the period FY02‐FY08. Net Assets reached the highest ever level of about Rs. 425 billion in April FY08 when the stock market was at its peak. However, the rapid decline of the market in FY09 had an adverse impact on the mutual funds sector. Net assets of the mutual funds industry reduced to Rs. 211.9 billion by end‐ FY09.
IMPGCC 49
Mutual Funds Mutual funds constituted around 48 percent of total NBFIs’ assets at end‐
FY09. On the supply‐side, with a large number of funds on offer, professional
asset management companies provide advice to the uninitiated investor to choose the most optimal option in line with his risk‐return preferences. However, the investor also needs to be able to make his own assessment based on the available information
Developments in the regulatory and operating environment indicate a strong potential for the mutual funds sector to continue its growth momentum . However, the challenges faced by the sector need to be addressed expeditiously.
IMPGCC 50
Mutual Funds Some, significant challenges for the mutual funds industry are:
(1) Restrictions on institutional investors, such as provident and pension funds to invest in mutual funds.
(2) Availability of national savings schemes for institutional investors.
(3) inadequate mobilization of investments from retail investors due to lack of financial literacy in the country, lack of depth in the domestic securities market that constraints investment decisions.
(4) The need to introduce stringent fit and proper test for fund managers and intermediaries, including their sales force.
(5) The need to implement international best practices across the sector and improve fund governance, transparency and disclosure.
(6) Limited institutional capacity to act as trustees of funds.

History of Development Financial Institutions National Most of the developing countries have established DFI’s to guide,
select, promote and finance trade, commerce and industry. In Pakistan various sectors of economy have developed i.e. manufacturers, commerce, agriculture and small business.
