+e.elo-ment of the country. Pakistan has a well%de.elo-ed banking system) which consists of a wide .ariety of institutions ranging from a central bank to commercial banks and to s-eciali2ed agencies to cater for s-ecial re4uirements of s-ecific sectors. The country started without any worthwhile banking network in '747 but witnessed -henomenal growth in the first two decades. By '77,) it had ac4uired a flourishing banking sector. Com$ riso& )it- ot-er ! &,s @ationali2ation of banks in the se.enties was a major u-set to domestic banking industry of the country) which changed the whole com-le1ion of the banking industry. ?ith irrational decision at the to- all the commercial banks were made subser.ient to the -olitical leadershi- and the bureaucracy. !-eciali2ed banking institutions were already working in the -ublic sector. The new accountability -aradigm changed the business ethics in the banking industry) and with this change started the disaster. @ationali2ation of banking industry was accom-anied by .iolent changes in the e1ternal .alue of ru-ee. The commercial banks thus lost their assets management e4uilibrium) initiati.e and growth momentum. They ceased to be a business concern and became big bureaucracies. This was accom-anied by indiscreet loaning under -olitical -ressure. They suffered from three terminal diseasesA non%-erforming loansB higher intermediation cost. The era of nineties was the clima1 of -ri.ati2ation) deregulation and restructuring in the domestic banking industry and financial institutions. The Muslim #ommercial Bank was the first bank to -ri.ati2e. /ollowed by "llied Bank limited) Cnited Bank &imited and now the =abib Bank &imited ha.e been -ri.ati2ed. ;ne thing good for that -articular -eriod was the recruitment of fresh officers in the domestic banking industry through well%organi2ed -olicies of Banking #ouncil. ?ith the decay of Banking #ouncil there was flood of insincere) non-rofessional) incom-etent candidates directly a--ointed recruited in all the domestic banks of the country.
