National Islamic Microfinance conference Pakistan 2012,

will be held on Feb. 2012 in Lahore

The main objective of the conference is to analyze the opportunity of Halal investment in livestock

sector by scaling up the business through Islamic Microfinance. It is another trail blazing initiative by

the Farz Foundation, which has laid the foundation of not only institutionalizing livestock business buthas opened up a structured investment avenue for those institutional and individual investors, who are

looking for investment channels that provide safe, profitable and Shariah compliant mode of

investment, which is duly backed by a reputed SECP registered organization.

The livestock sector expected rate of return is highly competitive when compared to other sectors, and

as I see it, with institutional entry into this sector the returns may exceed expectations given the huge

livestock products local and export market potential.

Institutional intervention was a dire need of this sector in whose absence this sector's potential wasnot being optimally exploited. Furthermore, with institutional intervention this sector that has strong

backward and forward linkages will strengthen SME sector in due course and will provide Fraz

Foundation in particular an edge to fully exploit inherent supply management potential.

This is exactly the way forward and the most effective approach to alleviate poverty. Solutions that

emerge from local traditions and our own historical, cultural and religious knowledge base have the

strength of potent accumulated wisdom that ensures instant mass appeal and acceptability at the grass

root level; combine this with latest management systems and Islamic financial modes, which the Farz

Foundation has developed as an organizational skill mix.

The conference would likely to open a headway of social, Halal business. The researchers, practitioners,

professionals and investor are being invited to speak, to share their experiences, to discuss the

challenges, to develop networks and plan their strategies for tapping the huge potential market of

livestock. The interested persons can contact by mailing at [email protected]
