The MoU was signed by Ghazanfar Azzam, President & CEO MMBL, and LCCI’s President, Mian Tariq Misbah at a ceremony in Lahore. LCCI Senior Vice President Nasir Hameed Khan, the business community, and representatives from commerce and trade bodies attended the event.
It is LCCI’s first-of-its-kind arrangement with any microfinance bank in the country that will facilitate the LCCI members, especially those belonging to the SME sector, through the provision of innovative banking solutions on a priority handling basis.
Speaking on the occasion, Ghazanfar Azzam, President & CEO, MMBL said: “We are excited to work with the premier trade body in Pakistan, LCCI, for achieving the shared goal of stimulating growth and development of the SME sector that is a major contributor to Pakistan’s economy but remains financially underserved.

I am positive that this newfound synergy will do wonders in supporting the SME sector and the national economy.”
