ASA Pakistan Ltd, a subsidiary of ASA International, is a microfinance institution incorporated in 2008 under section 32 of the Companies Ordinance, 1984.
The Pakistan Microfinance sector has demonstrated a robust growth over the last decade; however, it has still a long way to lead. The sector was initially dominated by the government-sponsored rural support programs and NGOs. The landscape has changed significantly over the past few years and now includes some microfinance institutions, amongst which ASA Pakistan. Despite the growing number of microfinance institutions, there is still a huge gap between the demand and supply in the Pakistani microfinance Market.
