RECOMMENDATIONS
The global economic environment has changed, creating challenges and opportunities for the worlds policy makers. The privatization drive has emerged as a strong tool of transformation, which is being recognized as an essential ingredient for the economic well. Being of the countries themselves and for the rest of the world. Now there is a greater awareness that in an interdependent world all countries gain individually if these countries become positive contributor to world economic growth as whole. Banks are playing very important role in the economic growth of the countries. N.B.P. no doubt a positive contributor in this respect but I think there are certain points by adopting which can serve more effectively and efficiently. These points are as under: 1. This is a computer era. With the use of computer we can increase our efficiency. N.B.P. should computerize all its branches. By the use of computer properly these branches can increase there working efficiency. 2. N.B.P. as public service oriented institution has to create business opportunities for themselves. Now a day there is a competition between the banks. 3. 4. Central Asian Republics (CARs) have great opportunities of new business so N.B.P should open new branches in these Republic. Model Banks like City Bank, M.C.B. is using media very effectively to increase the business of banks. So N.B.P. should use electronic media for its business developments. 5. The interference of union in banking business should be minimized as it decreases the working efficiency of the employee as well as the bank.

30

6.

The working of the Lahore Cantt. Branch Lahore is satisfactory but still these working efficiencies are for from the standard of modern banking system.

7.

The bank should finance its loans in those projects that are meeting the required standard and should avoid the political pressure.

8.

The bank should bring forward the new talent as fresh knowledge and education is considered very important to increase the efficiency and production.

9.

There is need to make the outlook situations of branches in those manners that can complete the other modern banks in the banking market.

10.

Keeping in view the hard work by the staff members at all levels of management, staff should be given bonus and increment every year.

11.

CREDIT CARDS are issued by the different banks like MCB, ABP and Citi Bank etc. but NBP dont issued this type of finance scheme, there is a place for this type of scheme in this bank.

12. 13. 14.

Separate desk or counter should be established in every branch to provide the information as required by the clients. The environment of the offices should be comfortable so that the client and staff must feel comfort during business in bank. Unsecured loan are not to be provided in case of banks directions, their families, companies or firms.

31

15.

There are some clients having sound and successful plan but without financially sound and providing securities bank should firms such policies that may solve this problem.

16.

I observed that many branches of NBP are over crowded. Less people can work which extra people perform. Number of employees should decrease or new branches should opens for the adjustment of these extra employees.

17.

There is too much dependence on handwork and they are not getting at with computer programmed. All the branches of NBP should be computerized.

18.

There are some employees untrained which decreases the efficiency of the bank branch. All the employees should well trained.

19.

Most of the bank employees are sticking to one seat only, with the result that they become master of one particular job and loose their grip on other banking operation. In my opinion each employee should have regular job change.

20.

Refreshes courses for staff are most important in my international organization. All the employees should have their courses according to their requirement.

21.

Every year some of the employees should be sent for training to other countries and employees from other countries should be brought here.

22.

In commercial institutions like banks, reward and punishment system should be introduced. Means achieve, smart, educated, skilled, self-spoken and well-dressed staff should be rewarded and

32

appreciated and lazy, lethargic staff should be warned and punished. 23. People have to wait for re-cashing their cheques and for paying their utility bills, which is not good for reputation of bank, it should be improved. 24. Promotion should be given to competent persons on merit basis.

33
