Jamshed Iqbal Cheema, Chairman Auriga Group of Companies, Muhammad Azam
Cheema, Sajida Bilquis, Ejaz Ahmed Khan and Shoaib Ahmad Butt.
Speaking on the occasion, Mian Shahid said that low-income groups should
not remain deprived of proper financial services.
He said that 56 per cent of the population has no access to formal
financial services while only 10 per cent of SMEs are served by banks.
Traditionally, banks would ignore providing loans to poor therefore
microfinance banks should come forward to bridge the financial divide, he
stressed.
Mian Shahid said that SME sector is backbone of the economy which can
minimise inequality only if strengthened.
Country needs a strong banking system based on mutual trust,
participation, and community involvement, he observed.
He informed said that Bangladesh, Kenya, India, South Africa, and Sri
Lanka have been performing well in the micro finance sector.
