At BII, we want our partners to achieve success that will lead to further prosperity. Our partners include entrepreneurs, investment partners and the countries where we invest. We’ve been investing in Pakistan for over 35 years and last week our Board visited the country to meet with some of our investment partners who are driving inclusive growth and meeting the challenge of climate change. These included: ⚡ Zephyr Power Limited, a renewable energy company that has developed a 50 megawatt wind-power plant. Not only is the company generating clean, green power. It is also building resilience to climate change and supporting biodiversity by restoring and nurturing mangrove forests which also guard against tidal erosion. 🌱 🏦 HBL and its subsidiary HBL Microfinance Bank LTD, where we discussed the microfinance sector and heard from their clients how access to finance has helped them grow their business and improve their livelihoods. 👩💼 Meeting clients of Kashf Foundation, a microfinance institution that lends money to women entrepreneurs. Their stories of being able to increase their income thanks to Kashf Foundation loans was an opportunity to see firsthand the impact of our partnership. The visit also included meetings with the State Bank Governor and Pakistan Finance Minister to discuss Pakistan's macroeconomic outlook and investment landscape, as well as meeting with our shareholder and other DFI and multilateral bank partners to discuss development finance needs in Pakistan.
