In addition to these policy and regulatory measures, SBP has been managing various market interventions funded by donors including GOP, UKAID, and ADB. I would like to especially thank ADB and UKAID for actively supporting financial inclusion in Pakistan.
Under the programs sponsored by these donors, a number of market interventions are managed by SBP including: The Institutional Strengthening Fund (ISF) providing grant funding to Microfinance (MF) providers to top and middle tier Microfinance Banks (MFBs) and Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) for key investments in HR, IT, product development, risk management systems, business plans and branchless banking development.
