What are the principles of sound lending commonly summarized by the acronym "3 Cs" (and later expanded), and name the core 5 Cs of credit.
The 5 Cs of credit are: Character (borrower's integrity/willingness to repay), Capacity (ability to repay from cash flow), Capital (borrower's own stake/net worth), Collateral (security pledged), and Conditions (economic/industry environment and purpose of the loan).
What is the primary objective of sound lending from a bank's perspective?
To lend safely and profitably by ensuring the safety of funds, adequate liquidity, and an acceptable return, while the loan is repaid from the borrower's normal business cash flow rather than from collateral.
In sound lending, what is the "primary source" versus the "secondary source" of repayment?
The primary source of repayment is the borrower's operating cash flow / income. The secondary source is the collateral or security, which is realized only if the primary source fails.
State the classic principles of sound lending (the trinity that must be balanced).
Safety, Liquidity, and Profitability — supplemented by Purpose, Security, Diversification (spread of risk), and adherence to national/SBP policy.
Define a "fund-based" credit facility and give two examples.
A fund-based facility involves actual outflow of bank funds to the borrower. Examples: running finance/overdraft, demand finance, term loans, cash finance, and export refinance.
Define a "non-fund-based" credit facility and give two examples.
A non-fund-based facility involves a contingent liability where the bank lends its name/credit rather than cash. Examples: Letters of Credit (LC), Letters of Guarantee, and acceptances.
What is the difference between a "running finance" (overdraft) and a "demand finance" facility?
Running finance is a revolving/fluctuating limit on a current account where the borrower draws and repays freely up to a sanctioned limit (interest on daily outstanding). Demand finance is a fixed disbursement repayable on demand or in installments, not revolving.
What is a "cash finance" facility in Pakistani banking and how is it secured?
Cash finance is a fund-based facility against pledge of stocks/goods, where the merchandise is kept in the bank's effective control (pledge) and released against payment; interest is charged on the amount actually utilized.
What two key components make up the price (interest rate) charged on a loan under risk-based loan pricing?
Loan price = Cost of funds + Operating/administrative cost + Risk premium (credit risk spread) + Target profit margin. In Pakistan it is often quoted as KIBOR + a spread.
What is KIBOR and how is it used in loan pricing in Pakistan?
KIBOR (Karachi Interbank Offered Rate) is the benchmark interbank lending rate. Floating-rate loans are priced as "KIBOR + spread," with the spread reflecting the borrower's credit risk and bank's margin.
What is a "lending policy" document and what is its primary purpose?
A lending/credit policy is a board-approved written framework setting the bank's risk appetite, target markets, authority limits, exposure limits, pricing guidelines, documentation and collateral standards — ensuring consistency, control, and regulatory compliance in lending.
List the main steps of the credit assessment / appraisal process in sequence.
1) Loan application & gathering information, 2) Credit investigation (KYC, eCIB report), 3) Financial & non-financial analysis, 4) Risk assessment & rating, 5) Structuring (amount, tenor, pricing, security), 6) Credit approval by competent authority, 7) Documentation & disbursement, 8) Monitoring & review.
What is eCIB and why is it checked during credit assessment in Pakistan?
eCIB (Electronic Credit Information Bureau) is the SBP-maintained database of borrowers' outstanding facilities and repayment history. Banks must check it to assess existing exposure, overdues, and defaults before extending credit.
In financial statement analysis for lending, what does the Current Ratio measure and what is its formula?
It measures short-term liquidity — ability to meet current obligations. Current Ratio = Current Assets / Current Liabilities. A ratio of 2:1 is traditionally considered healthy.
What is the Quick (Acid-Test) Ratio and its formula?
It measures immediate liquidity excluding inventory. Quick Ratio = (Current Assets − Inventory) / Current Liabilities. A ratio of 1:1 is generally acceptable.
Define the Debt-to-Equity ratio and explain what a high value indicates to a lender.
Debt-to-Equity = Total Debt / Shareholders' Equity. A high ratio indicates heavy reliance on borrowed funds (high leverage), meaning greater financial risk and reduced cushion for lenders.
What is the Debt Service Coverage Ratio (DSCR) and its formula, and what minimum is generally acceptable?
DSCR measures ability to service debt from operating earnings. DSCR = (Net Operating Income / EBITDA) / (Principal + Interest payments). A DSCR of at least 1.25x–1.5x is generally required, with 1.0 meaning income just covers debt obligations.
What is the "Interest Coverage Ratio" and its formula?
Interest Coverage Ratio = EBIT / Interest Expense. It shows how many times operating profit covers interest obligations; a higher ratio signals greater ability to meet interest payments.
What does the Inventory Turnover ratio reveal in lending analysis, and its formula?
It measures how efficiently inventory is sold/converted to sales. Inventory Turnover = Cost of Goods Sold / Average Inventory. A low turnover may signal overstocking or obsolete stock — a credit warning sign.
