December 09, 2024 (MLN): Federal Minister for Finance and Revenue, Senator Muhammad Aurangzeb, stressed the urgent need to shift focus from traditional charity models to broader impact financing strategies.

The session focused on advancing innovative financial solutions to drive social impact, enhance financial inclusion, and uplift marginalized communities in Pakistan, as noted by the press release.

The Finance Minister outlined the government’s role in establishing a robust policy and regulatory framework for social impact financing, emphasizing that the private sector would lead implementation efforts.

"The private sector has already excelled in this domain, demonstrating its capabilities", he said.

Finance Minister further added, "We should focus on creating an enabling environment rather than establishing another government institution, aligning with the government’s rightsizing objectives."

Digital solutions must be integrated to ensure efficient systems, while accountability and impact evaluation will build trust and credibility among stakeholders,” he added.

The press release further added that the participants shared insights on blended financing models, public-private partnerships, and fostering microfinance initiatives.

Proposals were made to ensure a comprehensive regulatory framework that encourages private sector innovation and safeguards investments.

The Finance Minister appreciated the commitment and contributions of all stakeholders and directed accelerated efforts to finalize the proposed policy framework.

He reiterated the government’s resolve to support initiatives that foster inclusive growth, sustainable development, and community welfare while empowering the private sector to take the lead in driving meaningful social impact.
