  • World Bank Document
    INTRODUCTION ______________________________________________________________________ The International Finance Corporation (IFC), part of the World Bank Group, is in the business of reducing Public Disclosure Authorized poverty and encouraging economic development in poorer countries through the private sector. IFC carries out this mandate primarily by investing in a wide variety of private projects in developing countries, always investing with other sponsors and financial institutions. These projects are selected first and foremost for their ability to contribute to economic growth and development. Obviously, to contribute effectively to development in the long run, IFC’s private sector projects must also be financially successful. Companies that are not financially viable clearly cannot contribute to development. IFC and its partners are, therefore, profit-seeking and take on the same risks as any private sector investor. Thus all IFC projects are screened not only for their likely contributions to development but also for the likelihood of their financial success. This screening, as it happens, is not simple. Projects have complicated effects on an economy and, more generally, on society as a whole. Usually, for example, projects directly create productive employment and better jobs in the business being financed. But employment effects are spread much more widely, as Public Disclosure Authorized increased business goes to suppliers or retailers and as new business is created elsewhere in the economy by employees spending their wages and salaries. There are many such effects, each difficult, if not impossible, to isolate from the investment. Because of these difficulties, most of these effects are not normally included in project analysis or decisionmaking but are nonetheless important in a development context.

Our outstanding performance has continued, with 2008 seeing the establishment of our 166th branch (including 35 sub-branches) across Pakistan. It is fitting that this year’s annual report is a tribute to nature- where, like Meezan Bank, change is omni-present. In both cases, the change is derived from development and growth and those who derive their strength from the basic elements of nature succeed in the long-run. In nature, the passing of seasons brings changes of colors, hues and scents; admiration of and adaptability to this change enables one to gain the most out of the treasures nature has to offer. At Meezan Bank, the passing seasons have seen us grow and develop from being the first Islamic Bank in Pakistan to being the largest. However, as we continue to grow, our ideals and beliefs remain the same: the purity that we see in nature forms the basis of our core banking values and we remain committed to ensuring pure Islamic Banking as we continue our journey towards the realization of our Vision and Mission. As you peruse our annual report, join us in our tribute to nature - a celebration of strength that comes from absolute purity. 01 Deriving Strength from Stability 02 Finding Purity in Nature 03 04 Contents Vision 06 Mission 07 Key Corporate Values 08 Core Values 10 Shariah Strength 12 Comprehensive Business Solutions 13 Largest Branch Network 14 Financial Backing 15 Service

  • Value-At-Risk and Expected Stock Returns: Evidence from Pakistan
    The Lahore Journal of Economics 19 : 2 (Winter 2014): pp. 71–100 Value-at-Risk and Expected Stock Returns: Evidence from Pakistan Javed Iqbal* and Sara Azher** Abstract This study investigates whether exposure to downside risk, as measured by value-at-risk (VaR), explains expected returns in an emerging market, i.e., Pakistan. We find that portfolios with a higher VaR are associated with higher average returns. In order to explore the empirical performance of VaR at the portfolio level, we use a time series approach based on 25 size and book-to-market portfolios. Based on monthly portfolio data for October 1992 to June 2008, the results show that VaR has greater explanatory power than the market, size, and book-to-market factors. Keywords: Value-at-risk, emerging market, Fama-French factors. JEL classification: C32, G32. 1. Introduction The most important implications of the capital asset pricing model (CAPM) (see Sharpe, 1964; Lintner, 1969; Black, Jensen, & Scholes, 1972) are that (i) the expected return on a risky asset is linearly and positively related to its systematic risk, and (ii) only the asset’s beta captures cross- sectional variations in expected stock returns; other variables have no explanatory power. However, the empirical evidence of the last few decades suggests that many alternative risk and nonrisk variables are able to explain average stock returns. These include size (Banz, 1981), the ratio of book equity to market equity (Fama & French, 1992, 1993, 1995, 1996; Stattman, 1980; Rosenberg, Reid, & Lanstein, 1985; Chan, Hamao, & Lakonishok, 1991), the price/earnings ratio (Basu, 1977), leverage (Bhandari, 1988), liquidity (Pastor & Stambaugh, 2003), and value-at-risk (VaR) (Bali & Cakici, 2004; Chen, Chen, & Chen, 2010).
