Ahmad MF institutions are not perfect and never will be, but they do create jobs by helping poor businesses hire new people and expand more quickly. I hope this will help reduce poverty in Pakistan. Humna Hi,

Kashf is indeed going a great job, they have a lot of talented employees from lums and other top universities working for them. Ahmad MF institutions are not perfect and never will be, but they do create jobs by helping poor businesses hire new people and expand more quickly. I hope this will help reduce poverty in Pakistan.

The point is they do not create any jobs, nor do they loan money to poor people to create new enterpises, they only invest in running businesses with balance sheets and real income. Its more like a walmart of loansharks operating under the cover of the dream called "microfinance". p.s the other mf banks in pakistan are no better if not worse.
