During the year, the COVID-19 emerged as a global pandemic forcing the world into a lockdown situation and restricting economic activities of almost all the countries. The pandemic also impacted Pakistan. However, situation started to stabilize in the last quarter of the y ear with business ac tivity showing signs of impr ovement. We hope that this enhanced ac tivity continues int o 2021. By the Grace of Allah, your Bank continued to make steady progress. The total assets crossed Rs. 1 trillion and gross advances increased to Rs. 331.5 billion at year-end with 18% growth.

The Board also ensures that good corporate governance policies and practices are implemented within the Bank. In the course of discharging its responsibilities, the Board acts in good faith, with due diligence and care, and in the best interests of the Bank and its shareholders. An internal board performance evaluation process is in place to enhance the overall effectiveness of the Board, its sub-committees and individual directors including the Chief Executive Officer. The evaluation is based on questionnaire on Board effectiveness which includes areas covering various aspects like Board composition, its responsibilities & duties, strategic plan & performance review, quality of information received & its timeliness, among others. This review forms an integral part of the Directors' Report to the Shareholders. I would like to take this opportunity to place on record my sincere gratitude to the Ministry of Finance, the State Bank of Pakistan and the Securities and the Exchange Commission of Pakistan for their continued support and guidance. I also acknowledge our loyal and valued customers, and staff members f or their devotion and diligence especially dur ing these challenging times of COVID. We bow our heads to Allah and pray for His blessings and continued guidance. On behalf of the Board MOHAMEDALI R. HABIB Karachi: 22 February 2021 Chairman 9 DIRECTORS’ REPORT TO THE SHAREHOLDERS Dear Shareholders, On behalf of the Board, it gives me great pleasure to present to you the annual financial statements of Habib Metropolitan Bank Limited (HabibMetro), for the financial year ended 31 December 2020. ECONOMIC AND BANKING REVIEW The year 2020 was overshadowed by the COVID-19 and the consequent healthcare, social and economic impacts of the pandemic. Much of the y ear was spent battling the challenges pr esented by the Coronavirus, with some momentum being witnessed in Pakistan's economy in the last two months of the year. The economy witnessed a recovery since July and picked up pace towards the end of the year. Large Scale Manufacturing increased by 7.4 percent year-on-year in over six months of FY21, against a contraction of 5.3 percent during the same period last year. After remaining close to 9 percent in September 2020 and October 2020, headline inflation fell to 8.3 percent in November 2020 and further to 8 percent in December 2020, the lowest since June 2019, primarily due to declining food inflation. The current account posted a surplus of USD 1.1 billion in the first half of FY21, compar ed to a deficit of over USD 2 billion during the same period last year. This improvement has been mainly driven by workers' remittances, which have remained above USD 2 billion month on month during the current fiscal year. Exports have also recovered to their pre-COVID monthly level of around USD 2 billion, since September 2020. However, the current account registered a deficit of USD 662 million in D ecember 2020 after five consecutive months of surplus, as the trade deficit rose due to an increase in imports of machinery and industrial raw material, in line with the pick-up in economic activity. At the same time, wheat and sugar imports also increased to close demand and supply gaps in the domestic market. SBP's foreign exchange reserves rose to USD 13 billion, their highest level since December 2017. Fiscal discipline remained within the year's budget with no fresh government borrowing from the SBP. Healthy growth in revenues contributed to the curtailment of fiscal deficit, despite higher interest payments and COVID-related public spending. FBR revenue collections during H1-FY21 increased by 5 percent year-on-year. Private sector credit has seen an encouraging uptick, driven by a continued rise in consumer and fixed investment loans on the back of the SBP's refinance facilities. Most economic indicators point towards continued improvement in business and investor sentiment. Augmenting by 22.2 percent year-on-year, the banking sector's deposit base managed decent growth and amounted to Rs. 17.88 trillion at the end December 2020; meanwhile, advances grew by 4.1 percent and stood at Rs. 8.5 trillion, while investments increased by 31.2 percent to be closed at Rs. 11.55 trillion. The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) reduced the policy rate by cumulative 625 basis points in 2020 (versus increase of 325 basis points during 2019). In its Monetary Policy Statement of 22nd January 2021, the SBP decided to keep the policy rate unchanged at 7 percent to continue providing support for economic recovery and financial stability.
