The aim of this research is to investigate the weaknesses of the banking sector in Pakistan by contributing to the understanding of banking sector fragility. Prior literature suggests that the banking sector fragility is the result of high levels of non-performing loans (NPLs) as well the lack of an efficient banking supervision. Thus, this study investigates why Pakistan falls in the high levels of NPLs countries by examining the banking sector of Pakistan with respect to NPLs and its determinants. To examine the determinants of NPLs, this study uses data at the individual bank level as well as country level. The study investigates NPL as driven by factors such as macroeconomic factors, microeconomic banks specific factors, country level institutional factors and company level institutional factors (corporate governance). The empirical analysis initially focus on the sensitivity of the NPLs to macroeconomic and country level institutional factors in Pakistan. Subsequently, the analysis is extended to micro economic and company level institutional factors (corporate governance). In order to account for time persistence in the structure of NPLs, a linear and dynamic panel approach is used. For this purpose four different estimation methods are used (Pooled OLS, fixed effect, random effect and GMM estimators). The empirical investigation suggests that strong performance in real economy results in a lower ratio of NPLs. Moreover, country level institutional factors suggest a negative and significant effect on NPLs with exception to rule of law. Furthermore, the results indicate that microeconomic factors need to be used as an early warning system regarding banking sector vulnerability. Company level institutional factors are also effective in reducing the NPLs. Specially, the board of directors, transparency, disclosure, and accountability are the main factors in reducing the level of NPLs in Pakistani banks. However, ownership and shareholding shows an insignificant relation because of the concentrated ownership or bulk shareholding by individuals. The study concludes that regulatory authorities should expand their regulatory framework to include both economic and institutional indicators in assessing the stability of the banking sector.

ہم کو آخر یہ سلیقہ آ گیا

ہم کو آخر یہ سلیقہ آ گیا
غم کو سہنے کا قرینہ آ گیا

حسن بھی بازار میں بکنے لگا
یاالٰہی! کیا زمانہ آ گیا

داستانِ قیس جب چھیڑی گئی
یاد مجھ کو اپنا قصہ آ گیا

رحم مجھ پہ آ گیا قاتل کو جب
جان لینے کو مسیحا آ گیا

ہو گیا ہوں میں بھی اب عزلت نشیں
رہنا اب مجھ کو بھی تنہا آ گیا

حشر میں تائبؔ کی سنتا کون تھا
کام آقاؐ کا وسیلہ آ گیا

لأزمة الأخلاقية في المجتمع الباكستاني المظاهر- العوامل- المعالجة

Moral values are seen as the basis of human civilization. Absence of moral values and responsibilities results in the justification of every evil in the society, as it is the case being observed in the present-day societies in many parts of the world. A nation, whose collective morals are high, is capable to lead other nations, irrespective of caste, creed and religious affiliations. If a nation, Muslim or non-Muslim, ignores the high moral values, it cannot avoid its decadence and destruction. Due to this utmost importance of morality for humanity, Islām regards morality as one of the integral parts of the Divine Revelation. Islām aims to create a sense of moral responsibility in its adherents, so that, they may show a complete picture of an ideal society, and enjoy their freedom to carry out the best possible moral deeds. The author of this paper, chose to study the present moral crisis in the Pakistani society and tried to determine the causes, which has brought about this moral crisis and also presents its cure in the light of the Qur’ān and Sunnah. The study focuses on the following aspects: Definitions of moral values & society, Prevalent social evils in our society, Causes of crimes and social evils, Remedies to root out unethical practices and evils from the society, Conclusion and recommendations.

Indian Nuclear Diplomacy Post May 1998-A Discourse Analysis

Nuclear diplomacy has been an important and integral part of international non proliferation regime ever since the onset of nuclear age. It played significant role in consensus building under difficult circumstances to achieve near universal adherence of the regime. A recent attempt in consensus building has been seen in case of India which despite initiating nuclear arms race in South Asia by conducting overt nuclear tests in May 1998, managed to get a nuclear deal outside NPT framework. Initially there was strong criticism of this deal being a serious threat to NPR but was gradually accepted as pragmatic policy. This change in international nuclear behavior is unprecedented and can be attributed to variety of factors. The study recognizes that several aspects of international environment (e.g. rise of China as challenger to U.S.) worked favorably and predispose U.S. and her allies towards India. India used the concerns raised by international environment and constructed a discourse that looked sensible and even attractive. Analysis of this discourse reveals contradictions even misleading on the part of India. This thesis explores Indian nuclear diplomacy in post May 1998 employing Carla Willig method of conducting discourse analysis. The study focuses on Indian engagement process within the realm of nuclear diplomacy and deconstructs the discourse presented in public and private sphere within the context of Indian identity and its past record of engaging NPR. It looks into the Indian discursively construction of its self image as the promoter of peace and stability not only in the region but in the entire world. How India aligned itself with the modern liberal order employing its democratic credentials and civilisational passivity of non violence and achieved desired consensus. The study reveals that this discursive construction of self image goes on in a contrasting manner especially in the private sphere, where instead of focusing on India the emphases has been on misrepresenting Pakistan and its nuclear capability. This exercise of otherising Pakistan was intended to construct a self suiting criterion to legitimize Indian nuclear weapons program and seek nuclear cooperation outside NPT framework.
