Project Report on SME Bank Ltd.
by Commerce Solutions in ,

INTRODUCTION

Small and Medium Enterprise which has contributed significantly to Pakistan’s GDP and export earning, can do still better with hand holding and support services. They have always been short of business support and regulatory and financial assistance. The financial sector has been providing only 10 percent of their overall credit to SMEs while 90 percent is given to large scale trade, commerce and industry.
The commercial banks provide credit only to their well established and large scale trading and manufacturing customers, because it is easy to handle and convenient to support for them.
However the government has made efforts to create such an operating environment which would provide the SMEs with access to the formal banking sector for financial and regulatory support. These efforts include the establishment of SME Bank in Pakistan.
SME Bank Ltd has been established in January 2002, through the amalgamation of SBFC (Small Business Finance Corporation) and RDFC (Regional Development of Finance Corporation) as a result of the financial sector reforms, introduced by the Government of Pakistan. This bank aims to meet the financial needs of small and medium entrepreneur, which are not being addressed currently.
The State Bank of Pakistan has assessed that the credit needs of the SME sector are Rs.20 billion while the formal financial sector provides only 10 percent of it to this sector. The SME Bank is working like commercial banks, as it plans to take its lending from Rs.1 billion in the first year to Rs.5.00 billion in the next 3-4 years throughout the country. It is to provide the facilities like letters of credit and over drafts and trade finance to small and medium entrepreneur, who does not get this even though it exports most of its products.
The SME Bank will reach its target market through programme lending schemes. These are customized financial packages for various sectors of the economy, such as marble, gems and jewellery, auto parts vendors, carpet manufacturer, educational institutions, marine fisheries, date processing, and information technology etc. the financial need of each target market have been studied realistically and the process of evaluating the loan application from the borrowers has been made very fast.



The SME Bank is not only to serve the SMEs sector but it has also been asked to encourage women-entrepreneur throughout contributes their due share in the national economy.

Since Financial assistance is not the only solution for the development of small and medium enterprise, efforts are being make by the government, state bank of Pakistan, other regulatory authorities and development and financial institutions, to develop a conducive environment and simple regulatory system and legal procedures for the success and long term sustainability of SME bank of Pakistan.

WHAT ARE SMES

As defined by State Bank of Pakistan - SME (Small and Medium Enterprise) means an entity, ideally not a public limited company, which does not employee more than 250 persons (if it is manufacturing concern) and 50 persons (if it is trading / service concern) and also fulfills the
Following criteria of either ‘a’ and ‘c’ or ‘b’ and ‘c’ as relevant:
(a) A trading / service concern with total assets at cost excluding land and buildings up to Rs 50 million.
(b) A manufacturing concern with total assets at cost excluding land and building up to Rs 100 million.
(c) Any concern (trading, service or manufacturing) with net sales not exceeding Rs 300 million as per latest financial statements.


SIGNIFICANCE OF SMES

SMEs are considered the engine of economic growth in both developed and developing countries, as they:
Provide low cost employment since the unit cost of persons employed is lower for SMEs than for large-size units.
· Assist in regional and local development since SMEs accelerate rural industrialization by linking it with the more organized urban sector.
· Help achieve fair and equitable distribution of wealth by regional dispersion of economic activities.
· Contribute significantly to export revenues because of the low-cost labour intensive nature of its products.
· Have a positive effect on the trade balance since SMEs generally use indigenous raw materials.
· Assist in fostering a self-help and entrepreneurial culture by bringing together skills and capital through various lending and skill enhancement schemes.
· Impart the resilience to withstand economic upheavals and maintain a reasonable growth rate since being indigenous is the key to sustainability and self-sufficiency.


PROBLEMS FACED BY PAKISTAN’S SME SECTOR?

Pakistan’s economy has amazing potential for development but sadly, we haven't been able to derive optimal benefits despite a series of efforts launched by various policy makers at different times. The impetus of all these endeavors was on the large scale industries and manufacturing concerns. High rate of failures, owing to economic slumps, institutional malpractices, political motives and damaging activities of labour unions in that sector, left the formal lending institutions with huge infected portfolios, in addition to adverse effects on the entire economy e.g. insufficient and low quality production to meet the demands of local and international markets, deficit in balance of payments and ever rising unemployment, etc.


SME FINANCING AND HAND-HOLDING

Research reveals that despite the lack of collateral, SMEs are a better credit risk, as the default rate of this sector is much below that of large enterprises through out the world; SMEs have provided tremendous opportunities to financial institutions to design various tools for the sector's development (e.g. Program Lending Schemes, Credit Scoring, Venture Capital Financing, etc.). Then there are clusters, technology parks and industrial estates, all being fuelled by the dynamism and vibrancy of small and medium enterprises. Banking institutions, running on Islamic principles, are also experimenting with interest free financial instruments (e.g. Mudarabah, Murabaha, Ijarah etc.) for this sector.
