SECP, ADB to Host Workshop on 'Women in Finance Thought Leaders'

The Securities and Exchange of Pakistan and the Asian Development Bank are partnering to host a “Women in Finance Thought Leaders” workshop featuring experts from the microfinance sector, ADB, Women’s World Banking, IFC, and Google. The workshop aims to foster a collaborative environment for thought leaders to discuss strategies for women’s empowerment through microfinance and address challenges and opportunities in financial inclusion.

The event will feature a series of interactive sessions and panel discussions to highlight how Non-Bank Microfinance Institutions (NBMFIs) can aid women in achieving financial independence. The workshop focuses on fintech’s potential to boost women’s financial inclusion, tackle non-bank microfinance sector issues, and bridge the gender finance gap.
