Mr. M. Zubair Mughal, CEO, AlHuda CIBE (the organizers of the event) thanked the supporters and the sponsors in advance for their continuous trust on them and the unprecedented support for the event that is much needed to achieve the milestone. Ethiopia has a largely rural population, which makes access to financial services a challenge and digital solutions ideal. Approximately two third of Ethiopian live on less than the poverty line, with 62% of Ethiopians employed in the agriculture sector, according to World Bank data. Making gains among these groups is key to improving Ethiopians’ financial lives. He said that interest-free banking and finance is the best alternative to change the lives of the poor. Investing in interest-free Banking and Finance could mean greater foreign investment that could result in enhanced global connectivity, improved job creation, socio-economic development and poverty alleviation.
