Housing Bank has sponsored the Sanabel 16th Regional Conference for Microfinance, which was held under the patronage of the Governor of the Central Bank of Jordan, Dr Adel Al-Sharkas. Titled “Global Trends and Their Impact on the Development of the Microfinance Sector Regionally”, this event took place between May 14 and 15 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in the Dead Sea.
This silver sponsorship stemmed from Housing Bank’s commitment to supporting various economic activities that reaffirm Jordan as a financial center and incubator. As an extension of its role in driving the microfinance sector, it contributes towards achieving financial inclusion consistent with the bank’s vision and objectives.
It is worth noting that Housing Bank allocates many of its services, solutions, and tools to supporting small and medium businesses, including programs for financing, loans, credit, and guarantees, as well as trade facilities, banking solutions, corporate services, further providing educational outreach and guidance to the members of the community.
Established in 2002 as a non-profit organization, Sanabel is a regional member-based network founded to support the shaping of the microfinance sector. It primarily works with international and regional entities in concerted efforts to achieve their vision and objectives. Held every year in a different location, the Sanabel annual event alternates between more than 9 Arab countries, receiving immense interest, valuable sponsorship, and large attendance.
