Microfinance in Pakistan

Author: Daily Times

Sir: Pakistan’s microfinance industry has welcomed local and international financial institutions for establishing operations in Pakistan. The main aim of micro financing has been to reduce poverty through entrepreneurship and financial literacy of the poor and uneducated. It is high time for the financial institutions to come forward and open up opportunities to small and medium size businesses. This is the time to demonstrate skill, enterprise and determination for the betterment of the economy.
