Commercial banks which need to increas paid up capital

Rajesh Sharma

Out of 30 commercial banks, only 6 banks (BOK is already in merger process) as mentioned below have to issue bonus/rights shares provided that they may not opt for merger/acquisitions. Among them LUBL, EBL and LBL has no significat percentage to increase, SBL and KBL are just above 10% and only NCCB has significant percentage. NRB policy for asking to raise capital to 2 Arab is not that much universal, which may affect prices in banking sector, in general.

Percentage, the banks have to increase capital to meet NRB prescription:
EBL 4.0%
KBL 11%
 LBL 2.9%
LUBL 3.78%
 NCCB 36.1%
 SBL 10.28%

Note: If I have left out any bank or have made mistake, friends, please correct me.
