March 2, 2020

March 2, 2020 (MLN): The Bank of Punjab (BOP) has reported 8.6% increase in its net profits after tax to Rs 8.27 billion for CY19. Last year (2018), the bank reported profits worth Rs 7.62 billion.

This has translated into the bank’s earnings per share which exhibited a growth from Rs 2.85 per share to Rs 3.09 per share.

During the year, BOP’s Net Interest Income (NIM) significantly improved to Rs. 26.8 billion as against Rs.20 billion in last year, thereby registering a rise of 33.37% YoY. The growth in NIM was attributable to the increase in bank’s deposits and higher interest rates.

Non-Mark-up/Interest Income also rose slightly by 7.4% YoY mainly due to the rise in fee and commission income by 8.84% YoY and gain on securities which exhibited a remarkable growth of 697.9% YoY. Whereas, Non-Markup expenses jumped by 17.5%YoY on account of escalation in operating expenses by Rs 1.87 billion.

Accordingly, the bank was able to post pre-tax profits of Rs 14 billion as against Rs 1.27 billion, thereby marking a rise of 14.67% YoY.  Furthermore, the bank has successfully managed to reduce its operating expenses to income ratio from 53% in CY18 to 43% in CY19.

The bank also reported provisions of Rs 1.72 billion against the reversal of Rs 1.22 billion which provided an additional boost to BOP’s profitability.

    May 16, 2022 (MLN): Pakistan’s stock market has tumbled to its lowest level of 42,667 points since December 2020 as the government decided not to increase fuel prices.

    Moreover, uncertainty on the economic and political front as the country is going through the extremely worst economic crisis and cherry on the top, the melting reserves with no clue of IMF tranche and funding from friend countries have created a strong spell of uncertainty which kept investors cautious, leading the benchmark KSE-100 index to close at 42,667 level, after shedding 819 points or 1.9% DoD.

    SECP launches stewardship framework for institutional investors

    May 16, 2022: Aiming to promote long-term value creation and “responsible” engagement of institutional investors with the investee companies, the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has issued the Stewardship Guidelines for Institutional Investors.

    The guidelines are applicable to the Asset Management Companies, Pension Fund Managers, Private Fund Management Companies, Life Insurers and Employees Contributory Funds managed by the Investment Advisors with equity holding in listed companies.

    Comprising a set of best stewardship principles, the guidelines provide a comprehensive stewardship framework to steer institutional investors on the effective exercise of their stewardship responsibilities with due regard both to their investors and investee companies

    The Stewardship framework, adopted on a ‘comply or explain’ basis, emphasizes that institutional investors are responsible to their ultimate long-term investors and beneficiaries and that their policies on voting, monitoring and engagement, conflict of interest and sustainability consideration should be designed to protect the interests of these long-term clients and beneficiaries. It further provides guidance on how to implement each principle and the outcome that is expected from applying the principle.

    SECP contemplates conducting orientation sessions in collaboration with key stakeholders for raising awareness of Stewardship Principles within the institutional investors' community and also a post regulatory impact analysis in the future to assess the implementation of Stewardship Guidelines. The guidelines are available at SECP’s website at https://www.secp.gov.pk/document/stewardship-guidelines-for-institutional-investors/?wpdmdl=44629.
