Summit Bank get another chance to grow

According to the stock filing, Summit Bank Limited informed that it received a letter from the Chairman of the Nasser Abdulla Lootah Group, who is also the Chairman of the Summit Bank.

Summit Bank has received a notification of interest from a Dubai-based investor HE Nasser Abdulla Hussain Lootah who has expressed his intention to acquire a controlling stake in the bank through fresh investment.
I, Mr. Nasser Abdullah Hussain Lootah, am writing to explore the possibility of acquiring at least a controlling stake in Summit Bank Limited by subscribing to fresh equity in the bank. It is also envisaged that this equity injection enable the bank to with the minimum capital requirement and capital adequacy ratio requirements as required by the State Bank of Pakistan.
In this regard, an exclusivity agreement has been shared with the board of directors for the confirmation that will ultimately give a green signal to the transactions for executing the deal.

The Dubai-based investor and chairman is controlling the bank through Suroor Investment Limited, a Mauritius based investment group, which owns 70 percent stakes. However, he offered the investment or equity injection through personal capacity.

Summit Bank has been running in losses since it was founded with the merger of two banks,My Bank and Atlas Bank in 2011.

In 2017, Summit Bank and Sindh Bank entered into an agreement of a merger and amalgamation by way of shares swap. The process was later seen as objectionable and was stopped through an intervention of the Supreme Court of Pakistan. Ultimately, the merger deal could not be sealed on the litigation ground that also resulted in the arrest of its former CEO and President.

The board of directors of Summit Bank had outlined its backup plan earlier which mentions that its major sponsor Suroor Investment Limited would inject funds in the bank which is falling short of paid-up capital (less than Rs. 10 billion) and solvency requirement of the regulator. However, it discovered an offer from its sitting Chairman from a different capacity.

Summit Bank’s losses have surged to over Rs. 1.1 billion with non-performing loans at Rs. 17 billion. It has been operating with nearly 200 branches across the country with an asset value of Rs. 233 billion.

پاکستان کو پانی کے لئے بھارت پر ایٹمی حملہ کرنا پڑے گا؟

آئیے آپ کو بتاتے ہیں کہ بھارت پاکستان کے ساتھ کس طرح جنگ چھیڑ چکا ہے اور اس جنگ میں بھارت کو مسلسل کامیابی مل رہی ہے جب کہ پاکستان کی عوام اور اس کے حکمران گھوڑے بیچ کر سو رہے ہیں۔ اور اس غلط فہمی میں چپ سادھ رکھی ہے کہ کونسا بھارت نے پاکستانکے خلاف میدان جنگ اپنی فوج اتار دی ہے۔ توقع کے عین مطابق عالمی بینک نے کشن گنگا ڈیم کی تعمیر پر پاکستان کی شکایات اور شواہد کو ناکافی قرار دے کر مسترد کر دیا ہے۔ یہ پاکستان کی بھارت سے سفارتی محاذ پر ایک بڑی شکست ہے۔ کشن گنگا ڈیم کی تعمیر 2009 میں شروع ہوئی جب پیپلز پارٹی کی حکومت تھی اور ن لیگ مضبوط اپوزیشن تھی۔2011 کے بعد دو سال تک یہ کیس عالمی عدالت میں چلتا رہا لیکن بالآخر عالمی ثالثی عدالت نے نہ صرف پاکستان کے اعتراضات مسترد کر دیے بلکہ بھارت کو پانی کا رخ موڑنے کی اجازت دے دی۔ یاد رہے کہ یہ وہ دور تھا جب بھارت کو پسندیدہ ترین ملک قرار دیا جارہا تھا اور خارجہ امور کا قلمدان بھی وزیر اعظم میاں نواز شریف کے پاس تھا۔ بھارت نوازی کی داستان صرف یہیں ختم نہیں ہوئی بلکہ دریائے سندھ پر تحقیق سے پتہ چلا کہ انڈیا نے ڈیم بنا کر دریائے سندھ کا سا...

Pakistan warned the United States

Pakistan warned the United States it risks losing an ally if it continued to accuse Islamabad of playing a double game in the war against militancy, escalating the crisis in relations between the two countries. Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar was responding to comments by U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff Admiral Mike Mullen, who said Pakistan's top spy agency supported attacks on the U.S. Embassy and other targets by the Haqqani network, the most violent and effective faction among Islamic Taliban militants in Afghanistan.   It is the most serious allegation leveled by the United States against nuclear-armed and Muslim-majority Pakistan since they began an alliance in the "war on terrorism" a decade ago.  Pakistan is the first Muslim Country in the world to construct and operate civil nuclear power plants.

How US dollar will decrease?

A dollar collapse is when the value of the US dollar plummets.  Anyone who holds dollar-denominated assets will sell them at any cost. That includes foreign governments who own US Treasury . It also affects foreign exchange futures  traders. Last but not least are individual investors. When the crash occurs, these parties will demand assets denominated in anything other than dollars. The collapse of the dollar means that everyone is trying to sell their dollar-denominated assets, and no one wants to buy them. This will drive the value of the dollar down  to near zero.
