In his remarks Mr. Younis talked about Faysal Bank’s core values and how they compel the organisation to give back and support the growth of institutions like 91��. “I look forward to further strengthening our relationship and extend my heartfelt gratitude to 91�� for providing us with this invaluable opportunity to contribute to initiatives,” he said.

During the meeting, the group also discussed potential avenues for collaboration in the future, such as certification programmes in Islamic finance, or even short courses. Mr. Yousaf Hussain who is also a 91�� alum from the MBA Class of 1994, noted, “Our initiatives resonate deeply with our Islamic ethos, and we hope to see them go a long way in encouraging learners to achieve more.”
