This new initiative not only strengthens the bond between both institutions and opens up more avenues for collaboration but also ties in with the government’s agenda for providing access to housing credit to the excluded part of Pakistan.

Speaking at the occasion, President & CEO of U Bank Kabeer Naqvi said that this program of the government of Pakistan will help institutions in providing subsidized micro-loans to low-income families for the purpose of encouraging economic growth in Pakistan, particularly those in the informal sector.

Kabeer Naqvi commended government’s commitment in providing affordable housing finance for all and further support economic and social development. He also highlighted how U Bank’s strategic direction is aligned with the government’s mission towards financial inclusion and poverty alleviation.

Speaking at the occasion, President & CEO of BOP Zafar Masud said that this Partnership will pave way for the microfinance industry to extend housing finance to the low-income groups, a market segment which has remained neglected for long. BOP is continuing to play its role of a catalyst in mortgage market development and for the growth of affordable housing in the country.

Zafar Masud further added that BOP has already embarked on the journey of becoming one of the top five banks and will soon create its space there.

The ceremony was held in Islamabad and was witnessed by the senior management of both the institutions.
