The document summarizes guidelines from the State Bank of Pakistan for expanding microfinancing through commercial banks. It outlines four modes for banks to engage in microfinancing: 1) opening microfinance counters in existing branches, 2) establishing standalone microfinance branches, 3) creating microfinance bank subsidiaries, and 4) developing partnerships with microfinance institutions. The guidelines aim to increase access to financial services for low-income groups by leveraging banks' large branch networks and funding sources while addressing potential challenges around mindset changes and product development.
