Trade Cycle
In the very beginning the basic thing is need that drives to foreign trade. So
importer feels the need to purchase some types of goods and contact to the
seller at the foreign country and need the quotations.
Then the exporters company sends the Pro-forma Invoice (quotation) to
the importers company.
Then importer takes this Pro-forma Invoice to his bank for the registration
of the contract.
Then this registered contract is returned to the importer by his bank.
The importer sends this registered contract to the exporter.
When the exporter receives the registered contract then he exports the
goods by any transportation way like by road (Forwarding Co.), by sea
(Shipping Co.), by Air (air co.)
Exporter receives the shipping documents from the shipping company.
o Bilty (by road)
o Bill of Lading (by sea)
o Railway Receipt (by train)
o Airway Bill (by air)
Then the seller gives the three types of documents to his bank with Bill of
Ladding and they are:
o Bill of Exchange
o Shipping Document (that he receives from a shipping company)
o Other Commercial Documents (invoice, packing list, insurance
certificate, certificate of origin, etc.)
Exporters bank sends all these documents to the importers bank with Bill
of Ladding.
When these export documents arrives in the importers bank then these
same documents become the import documents. Then the importers bank
contact to the importer that he make the payment and & release all these
documents.
When the importer makes the payment to the bank then bank gives the Bill
of Ladding and all the import documents to the importer.
Now importer himself is the Consignee (who can release the goods from
port). So, he will go to the port and will release the goods from shipping
company. And that shipping company takes the receipt of receivables as
evidence.
Importer has to pay the custom duty and premium of insurance if premium
is not paid by the exporter.
LETTER OF CREDIT
In fact LC is a legal document on behalf of which the payment made by the
importers bank to the exporters bank.
As a credit instrument and as a mean of making security of the payment, the
documentary credit is essential these days for conducting safe and sound foreign
trade.
EXPORTS
National Bank of Pakistan is an authorized dealer with respect to dealing in the
foreign currency affairs that are related with the export, import and foreign
currency accounts. For export L.C negotiations the bank has to follow prescribed
rules and regulations levied by SBP. For negotiation the Bank has to give in
writing that it shall bear the responsibility to honor all bills and cheques on behalf
of the importer that shall be presented for the payment by the foreign exporter.
Documents Involved
E Form (which describes the detail of the goods to be exported, the
importers particulars, the amount of foreign currency payment and the
details of the importer as well.
Original Invoices of the transaction for sale
Bills of Exchange drawn on the importer by the exporter
Bill of Lading from the shipping company along with the details
Insurance documents
After submission of all the related documents to the negotiating Bank, seller is
bound to receive payment. The Bank on its part is also bound to make payment
however it is only reasonable to allow the banks sufficient time to scrutinize the
documents that exporter has submitted.
After these documents have been verified and found correct the bank makes the
payment to the exporter, in addition confirming it from the issuing bank. All the
documents of the export transaction are received by the exporter and then
submitted to the Bank for negotiation. These documents are sent to the foreign
bank for authentication. When the confirmation is received then a security sheet is
prepared to check the amount of the LC as well as the amount of Bill of Exchange.
E-FORM
Every exporter is required to furnish a declaration to customs authorities for goods
exported. This deceleration is submitted on a prescribed Form-E in quadruplicate
which is certified by the authorized Dealers.
Cancellation of form e
If goods are not exported and E form is not presented to the customs authorities,
the same is surrendered to the cancellation which is recorded in the separate file
duly marked canceled.
IMPORTS
For the control of foreign exchange SBP discourage import of the goods. Still most
of our daily needs are being fulfilled by imported products. The import procedure
is also complicated that involves many dimensions to be looked for. The Banks
role in this regard is again indispensable for the importer and the exporter.
Procedure of opening LC
After all the documents have been presented by the importer, the Bank verifies the
genuineness of these documents. At the time of opening of LC Bank charges
commission, postage and telegram charges and others from the importer.
Importers account is checked for the balance that has to be retained as margin
of safety, and if found below, he is informed to deposit the reducing balance his
account. It may happen that for customers of high credibility such pre-deposit is
not required at the time of opening of the LC. The accounting entries are made in
the two books of accounts namely,
LC opened register
Margin/Liability account register
Payment of the LC
Nature of payment can be of two types:
Sight
Usance
the documents
The negotiating bank after receiving the documents from the exporter verifies
for the genuineness and confirms the conditions set in the LC makes payment to
the exporter (if it is a sight transaction). If the transaction is Usance then the bank
makes the payment after number of days mentioned in the LC document from the
date of presentation of the documents. These documents when checked are sent to
the issuing bank for reimbursement of the amount paid to the exporter. The issuing
bank once again checks and confirms the genuineness and sends the amount to the
negotiating bank through remittance instrument.
FOREIGN REMITTANCES
Remittance is transfer of funds from one place to the other by way of using an
intermediate dealer. These dealers are authorized agents who provide these
services on commission. Foreign remittances are the most significant type of
transaction that is carried on in case of a foreign currency accounts. The
remittance can primarily of two types.
Inward Remittances
The inward remittances are coming through either Telegraphic Transfer (T.T) or in
form of Demand Draft (D.D). Further these remittances are coming in either in
foreign currency or are in Pak Rupees. The remittances coming into NBP Main
Branch, Multan can be classified into the following types.
Case 1
Remittances where the beneficiary or the payee is an account holder in the Main
Branch,
Case 2
Remittances where the beneficiary or the payee is an account holder of any NBP
branch other than Main Br. Multan
Case 3
Remittances where the beneficiary or the payee is an account holder in a Bank
other than NBP,
All the above mentioned types of remittances are handled differently and the
reimbursement of the amount is done through separate recordings in the books.
The instruments of inward remittances carry instructions for the proper
reimbursement of the amount to be credited to the account holder on realization.
The reimbursement on TTs is available as follows:
Karachi
Outward Remittances
Sending amount outside the country is an outward remittance. Again this
remittance can be made by T.T or demand draft. The condition for these
remittances requires the sender to be the account holder of the Branch. That
account holder has to submit a written cheque along with the payees particulars
and responding bank. This procedure has charges that are higher in case of T.T and
comparatively lesser for demand draft. These charges can be deposited in cash or
can be debited from the account of the sender as the case may be.
TYPES OF REMITTENCES
The remittances are of following types:

organization lacks better performance. Threats are the environmental condition
that can affect the performance of the organization in order to be more
competitive.
In light of the SWOT analysis, management also reevaluates its current mission
and objectives. Are they realistic? Do they need modification? As we where we
want to be right now?
STRENGTHS
The following facts reflect the strength of the National Bank of Pakistan.
Agent of SBP
National Bank of Pakistan is also authorize to act as an agent of the State Bank of
Pakistan and to operate as treasury where the SBP does not have its own branch
So, the NBP has competitive edge over the competitors that it is working as a
clearing house in those cities where the SBP does not have its own branches.

transactions. Business people and other do their transaction through this bank
because they feel that their money is dealt with safe and sound.
Profitable Position

due to vast operational network and public confidence. According to magazine
The Banker NBP is at No. one position in Asia & at 8 th position in the world on
the base of earning profits.
WEAKNESSES
Lack of Implementation of Rules and Regulations
There is a lack of implementation of rules and regulations.
Recruitment Policy
In NBP, employees are recruited on the basis politics or through other tools of
corruption.
Incompetent Staff
Due to wrong recruitment policy staff of NBP is not proficient in their work.
Irregularities in Promotion
In NBP there is no smooth and continuous promotion system. Unfair means are
used in order to get the promotion especially the promotion of the managers.
Individual Difference
In NBP the individual difference have strong impact on the organizations
performance due to the wrong criteria of selection of the employees. So with the
passage of time individual differences are increasing which are undermining the
good will of the organization.
Workload
Mostly workload increases on the employees. They often remain in office till 97P.M. To decrease this load appropriate number of employees should be there in
each department.
The Bank has poor quality counter services in branches. It does not give equal
importance to all the customers. Customers have to wait more for encashment of
their cheques or any other transactions.
OPPRTUNITIES
Consumer Banking
The basis need of the consumer such as transportation and other durable goods are
not adequately financed by the banks. So by initiating these services, the bank can
enjoy with more funds.
Foreign Branches
NBP by establishing new branches in foreign countries can expand its business
and can enjoy with more profit.
Issuance of Bonds
To enjoy with large amount, NBP can introduce a comprehensive range of bonds.
Night Banking
Despite of poor customer service of NBP, people still come to NBP because of its
Govt. ownership as they feel it secure therefore bank improve its deposit by giving
facility of night banking and also can compete its competitors with positive steps.
Advisory Services
THREATS
Competitors
The establishment of new private financial institution is a biggest threat to the
National Bank of Pakistan. These private banks capture some portion of profit by
offering innovation products and latest service to the customers and they think that
they are treated in a better way.
Inflation
In our country, the rate of inflation is increasing along with the unemployment. So
due to the increase in price of the products, the savings of the nation is decreasing
with the passage of time. So it is the threat for the banking sector. In the future, the
deposits of the bank will decrease.
Government Policy
On NBP Govt. policies have strong impact. A slight change in Govt. policies may
affect the performance of the bank. The bank has to work with in the regulation
frame work.
Political Pressure
Other threat for the National Bank of Pakistan is that there is political pressure for
implementing the decisions. The people that are having higher authority are
forcing to the NBP to make their work easier. They can force the bank to sanction
the loan in huge amount for their benefit.
Inability to Change
This is also threat for the NBP it is not capable of adapting itself to the changing
environment. Inability to change makes it less competitive in the environment and
as a result it is not providing best and quality services to their customers.
