What drives Commercial Banks on the PSX
Banks earn primarily on the spread between what they pay depositors and what they earn on loans and government securities. In Pakistan an unusually large share of bank earnings comes from holding government paper rather than lending to businesses, which makes the sector a direct play on interest rates and government borrowing rather than on private-sector credit growth.
What to watch
- State Bank policy rate — higher rates widen spreads and lift earnings, up to the point where borrowers begin defaulting.
- Government borrowing — heavy issuance gives banks a large, low-risk earning asset and crowds out private lending.
- Asset quality — non-performing loans rise with a slowing economy and lag the downturn by several quarters.
- Deposit mix — a high share of current and savings accounts lowers funding cost and is a durable competitive advantage.
