InfraZamin Pakistan and The Bank of Punjab (BOP) have entered into a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at strengthening Pakistan’s agricultural warehousing infrastructure through a credit guarantee–backed financing framework. This initiative represents a significant move towards enhancing post-harvest storage capacity, mobilizing private-sector investment, and supporting long-term agricultural development in the country.
Speaking at the signing, the Group Chief Consumer Banking Group of BOP emphasized that this collaboration will materially enhance the banking sector’s capacity to lend in segments that have previously been perceived as high-risk. He highlighted that InfraZamin’s credit guarantee structure will allow financial institutions to confidently extend credit to warehousing and storage infrastructure by mitigating underlying risk exposures.
Amir Masood, Chief Investment Officer of InfraZamin Pakistan remarked on the occasion: “Our collaboration with the Bank of Punjab marks a significant milestone in expanding structured and affordable financing for Pakistan’s agriculture sector. This MoU aligns with the national agenda of modernizing the agriculture sector, improving post-harvest management and empowering farmers through better access to finance.”
The MoU lays the foundation for deeper cooperation between the two organizations, with a formal Master Guarantee Agreement to be finalized in subsequent stages as the program advances.
