The Govt. of Pakistan is required to eliminate interest based transactions from the country according to its constitutions (i.e.1956, 1962 and 1973). In 1992, Govt. started privatization process of the financial sector especially banking sector.

Islamic banking practices in Pakistan proved a successful experience due to growth and expansion of the banking sector. This study reflects a picture of Pakistani banking sector since its creation. It enables the readers, academician and bankers to have a look about banking developments in Pakistan. Keywords: Islamic Banking, Conventional Banking, Pakistan, Banking Developments. 1. Introduction Every country of the world has its recognition due to its specific religious attachment, socio-cultural features or economic attributes. Economic prosperity and sound economy is the symbol of success in these days. Similarly, economic soundness is the only outcome of positive interaction of macroeconomic variables to attain specific objectives by beautiful blending of resources i.e. physical resources, human resources, financial resources and informational resources. Banking sector is an important component of financial sector for proper management of financial resources across the globe. This study presents a glossary of historical developments in banking sector of Pakistan to a very sophisticated banking system of recent age. Initially, Pakistan was unable to control its financial system due to absence of sound banking system and eventually it became the most attractive banking industry of the globe. It is reported that banking and financial services are the integral part of services industry and its contribution is increasing with the passage of time (Mishkin, 2001). However, expansion of global and integrated banking sector has to face many challenges of legislation, 12
2 technological and structural changes (Angur et al. 1999). Some of the countries including Pakistan appeared on the map of the world as an ideological state. Pakistan came into existence as the first Islamic republic created in the name of Islam on August 14, The government of Pakistan is bound to follow the instructions of Allah Almighty according to Objective Resolution, passed in Islam was declared as official religion of Pakistan according to the first constitution of Pakistan in 1956 and all rules/ regulations should be in consistent to the instructions of the Holy Quran and Sunnah. The Constitution of 1956 requires an immediate elimination of riba based transactions according to Article 28. Similarly, the Council of Islamic Ideology was established under the Constitution of 1962, to eliminate the interest from the economy especially from banking sector. Interestingly the Constitution of Pakistan (1973) also requires a prompt elimination of interest (riba) from the economy as shown by the article 2A, 31, 37, 38 (F) and 227 of the said constitution. The council consulted a large number of bankers and economists to recommend some alternatives to replace interest-based financial structure in the economy during 1980s. In 1991, Full Bench of Supreme Court of Pakistan ordered the elimination of riba from the economy until June 30, Finally, Islamic banking activities were initiated in December 2002 due to untiring efforts of State Bank of Pakistan (SBP, 2002). 2. Establishment of Commercial Banking System ( ) Pakistani banking sector has witnessed drastic changes over a period of 61 years since its independence. Initially it suffered from acute shortage of resources and uncertainty due to prevailing political and socioeconomic conditions. Lack of trained human resource and professionals resulted into poor quality of products and services. State Bank of Pakistan was established as the central bank on July 1, 1948 to control the financial sector. Subsequent amendments were made to extend the control and functions of SBP through State Bank of Pakistan Act SBP encourages the private sector to establish banks and financial institutions in the country. It resulted into unhealthy competition and unlawful practices due to bribe and corruption during the decades of 1950s and 1960s. It is reported that financial reforms and changes in governance have improved the performance of Pakistani banking sector over time (Burki & Niazi, 2003). 3. Nationalization of Banks ( ) In 1974, all the existing banks were nationalized by the Govt. The performance of nationalized banks deteriorated due to government protection to employees. It resulted into the provision of inferior products and poor services. It also discouraged the private investors and foreign financial institutions. There are drastic changes in Pakistani banking sector due to strong competition among public, private and foreign banks. Private sector banks dominated during 1950s and 1960s but they were nationalized in 1974 due to separation of Bangladesh and bad economic conditions. Nationalized banks showed very poor performance due to inferior products/services that resulted into the privatization of banking sector in 1992 (Ahmad et al. 2010). 4. Initiatives for Islamization of the Banking Sector ( ) In Egypt the first modern Islamic bank was established in 1963 according to the principles of Islamic finance. The Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) also supported the Islamic financial system in 1973 at Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Similarly a number of Islamic banks were established as Philippine Amanah Bank in 1973; Dubai Islamic Bank in 1975; the Faisal Islamic Bank of Sudan in 1977; the Faisal Islamic Bank of Egypt in 1977; the Bahrain Islamic Bank in 1979, and Meezan Islamic bank of Pakistan in In Malaysia, Islamic Banking Act was passed in 1983 to transform the interest-based conventional banks into Islamic banks. 13
3 The Govt. of Pakistan has taken a number of initiatives during to introduce interest free products in the market especially in the banking sector. In 1979, National Investment Trust (NIT), Investment Corporation of Pakistan (ICP) and House Building Finance Corporation (HBFC) started interest free transactions. Similarly, during 1980 a number of actions were taken as Mudarbaha companies were established, Participatory Term Certificates (PTC) was launched and Zakat ordinance was announced. In addition, nationalized banks were required to open interest-free counters for their customers in However, Usher ordinance came into force in 1983 throughout the Pakistan. In the same year, financial services ordinance was amended to introduce non-interest system. SBP was assigned the duty for transition of interest based financial institutions into interest-free financial institution till 1985 (Zaidi, 1987; Hussain, 2006; Hassan, 2007). During the decade of 1990s, Islamic banking practices were initiated all over the world especially in the Muslim dominated parts of the globe. SBP issued detailed criteria in December 2001 for the establishment of full-fledged Islamic bank in the private sector. Al Meezan Investment Bank received the license from SBP in January 2002 and started its operations with the name of Meezan Islamic bank as the first Islamic bank from March 20, 2002 (SBP, 2002). The Islamization efforts were unable to achieve its objective due to a number of reasons: firstly the transitional process was revolutionary instead of evolutionary; second there was lack of flexibility due to rigid system, thirdly there is lack of appropriate Shariah compliance mechanism and finally there is lack of interest from the stakeholders (SBP, 2007). 5. Privatization Process of Banking ( ) Financial liberalization and deregulation during 1990s encouraged local investors and motivated foreign banks to start their operations in Pakistan. It stimulated the competition among banks due to an expansion of the banking industry. A large number of banks has initiated their operations in Pakistan and try to attract the maximum number of customers. It is reported that government ownership of banks could be discouraged due to slower financial development, low productivity and slow economic progress (La Porta et al. 2002). Similarly, State Owned banks are unable to monitor their progress due to absence of clear objectives and responsibility (Clark et al. 2003). However, it is found that privatization may not be successful due to the limitations and environmental constraints of a specific economy. It is reported that privatization of banks in low and middle income countries did not created improvements due to overstaffing and debt burden (Otchere, 2003). Interestingly, it is found that there is lesser improvement in the financial health of banks as result of financial liberalization and privatization in Pakistan (Khalid, 2006). 6. Inception of Islamic Banking Practices (2002) The inception of 21st century heightened the competition among banks regarding service quality to have satisfied customers for better profitability. SBP plays an active role to establish a sound Islamic banking system in Pakistan according to principles of Sharia h as mentioned in its mission statement that read To promote and develop Islamic Banking industry in line with best international practices, ensuring Sharia'h Compliance and transparency. In 2002, Islamic banks have started their operations in Pakistan and experienced stiff competition from its peers as well as from conventional banks. Islamic bank offers a wide range of products on the basis of profit and loss according to principles of Sharia h. It develops the sense of collective welfare by sharing the risk among different stakeholder. While the interest is the central tenet of the conventional banking and it maximizes the return even at the cost of other stakeholders by transferring the burden of risk to other parties. Islamic banks are primarily concerned to eliminate Riba from the economy by promotion of risk sharing practices for economic prosperity. 14
4 SBP has undertaken a number of initiatives to ensure stability, transparency and flexible legislation. The regulatory framework encourages financial sector growth, diversification and innovation; healthy competition and risk taking to ensure a sustainable and aggressive income stream; opportunities for enhancing the franchise value of banks; prudent behavior and effective risk management and loan provisioning requirement are stringent enough to discourage infection of the loan portfolio; safeguarding social obligations and consumer interests (Economic Survey of Pakistan, ). 7. Current Status of Pakistani Banking Sector Pakistani banking sector is continuously improving with diversified pattern of ownership due to an active participation of foreign and local stakeholder. It resulted into an increased competition among banks to attract a greater number of customers by the provision of quality services for long-term benefits. Now there are 6 full-fledged Islamic banks and 13 Conventional banks offering products and services according to principles of Sharia h in different parts of the country. They are competing in a highly competitive environment for the provision of quality services according to customers' expectations. It is reported that customers of Islamic bank have greater perception of service quality as compared to customers of conventional bank in Pakistan (Ahmad et al., 2010). Now bank customers are much concerned regarding the quality of services due to increased awareness. They continue to deal with their current bank only if they feel satisfied; otherwise they feel no hesitation to switch to other banks. Islamic banks work within the limits prescribed by Sharia'h to stimulate business and trade activities. It experienced an expansion in its network, size and structure due to beautiful blending of commercial banks, micro finance institutions and Islamic banks in the country. The performance of Pakistani banking system from a period of is shown in figure 1.

5 The existence of two bank streams i.e. conventional banks and Islamic banks poses some questions about service quality and customers' satisfaction in Pakistan. Islamic banks have opened new avenues for acceptance of deposits on interest free-basis and extend credit facilities excluding interest e.g. Qarz-e-Hasana etc. (Najajmabadi, 1991). It was found that relationships with bank personnel are important criteria for selection of bank (Abratt & Russell, 1999). Similarly, it is documented that Islamic banks have shown an excellent performance and they should diversify their products/services to meet customers expectations (Ebrahim & Joo, 2001). However, there is a significant relationship between service quality and financial performance (Duncan and Elliot, 2002). So it is concluded that superior delivery of services results into superior profitability (Kotler, 2003). Pakistani banking sector witnessed a major change due to key role of private sector having about 80% of banking assets (Economic Survey of Pakistan, ). Finally, bankers should concentrate on service quality to have satisfied customers as it is evident that service quality has greater and strong positive impact on customer satisfaction in case of Islamic banks as compared to conventional banks in Pakistan (Ahmad, Rehman & Saif, 2010). 8. Summary and Conclusive Remarks This study depicts a historical background of Pakistani banking sector since its independence on August 14, 1947 from British rule. It indicates the journey of Pakistani banking sector from the establishment of SBP on July 1, 1948 as central bank to support and monitor the banking sector. During 1950s and 1960s banking sector got expansion due to development projects and an active participation of private sector. In 1974, banks operating in Pakistan got nationalized and came under the direct control of the Govt. of Pakistan. Nationalized banks have shown poor performance due to Govt. protection and lack of competition. The Govt. of Pakistan is required to eliminate interest based transactions from the country according to all the constitutions (first constitution 1956, second constitution 1962 and the third constitution 1973). Similarly, in 1992 the Supreme Court of Pakistan also ordered to stop interest based transactions from the economy.
