About Islamic Microfinance
People living in poverty need rapid access to a diverse range of financial services to run their businesses,
build assets, ensure smooth self-consumption, and manage risks. Financial services for poor people
have proven to be a powerful instrument for reducing poverty, enabling them to build assets, increase
incomes, and reduce their vulnerability to economic stress.
Broadly, Microfinance refers to a movement that envisions a world in which low-income households
have permanent access to a range of high quality and affordable financial services offered by a range of
retail providers to finance income-producing activities, build assets, stabilize consumption, and
protect against risks but as per market studies conventional micro financial system could not serve the
potential as expected due to the few deficiencies in the system. Islamic Microfinance has traits to
provide a parallel support to the poorest of the poor and its imminent qualities leaves no room for
structural devastation as emphasizes ethical, moral & social factors to promote equality and fairness
for the good of the society.
During the latest research on Microfinance sector, it is evaluated that Islamic financial system provides
the best solutions for Poverty alleviation and Social sustainability, it is not only providing opportunity
to utilize a sustainable system but also offers good rate of return & ideal performance compare to
conventional Microfinance system.
