Think of today major economic sectors of Pakistan, Industrial, Textile, Agricultural, Banking, Telecom, Media and Government and Semi Government Sectors and many more, question is which sector has played an important role in making the economy of the country strong. Of course Banking Sector that has contributed a major part in the economy of the country after the privatization has taken place. Other sectors like Telecom and Media have done a great job for the last seven to eight years but Banking has overcome other sectors because of the high stream of privatization process. So it is therefore necessary to study the measures of banking sectors and to find out the problems which have been affecting the economy of the country. " twLë!ÇLù!ÇLhb !b5 bhb t9wChwaLbD [h!b{ h Abstract Privatization has become an important aspect all over the world especially in developing countries of the world. Pakistan has also embarked on privatization program for the state-owned financial sector. As this report is limited to banks so we have selected banks which were privatized in the decade of 1990-2002 and the topic on which we have emphasized is Non- Performing Loans. This thesis is based on the two main things, firstly privatization of government owned banks and secondly Non-Performing Loans proportion with respect to the effect of privatization. Privatization of government owned banks in Pakistan was the main reason behind the overcome of weak banking sector and as part of this policy, for the very first time in 1991, two government owned banks of Pakistan Muslim Commercial Bank (MCB) and Allied Bank Limited (ABL) were converted into private entities. In first step authors have tried to collect data regarding the history of Pakistan as an economic instrument, why privatization in banking sector was important, review of banking sector and its performance in Pakistan and Non-Performing Loans and its classification with respect to privatization in the banking sector. Banking sector is considered as one of the most important sector of every country and there are so many measures to gauge the performance of the banking sector. There are many measures utilized to gauge the performance of the banking sector like measuring asset quality, capital adequacy, earning, profitability, liquidity. Out of these performance measures this study is targeted towards gauging the “operating performance” of banks keeping in view the global performance. We have taken one specific measure that is “Non-Performing Loans” of selective banks to find out the operating performance of the banking sector and impact of privatization has been kept in mind to find out the results.
