Particular attention is given to the experience of the \u201cRural Development Scheme\u201d (RDS) implemented by Islami Bank Bangladesh PLC. RDS is evaluated as one of the earliest Islamic microfinance models that integrates Shari\u2019ah-compliant financial services with rural development objectives. Based on official statistics and recent achievements, the study examines how the program has contributed to expanding financial inclusion, improving the economic opportunities of low-income households, and reducing poverty. Special emphasis is placed on the positive socio-economic outcomes of the scheme for women, who constitute the majority of its clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Keywords:<\/strong> Bangladesh; microfinance; Islamic microfinance; Islami Bank Bangladesh PLC; Rural Development Scheme; financial inclusion; poverty alleviation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/interfinance.tsue.uz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/14Axmedova-O\u2018g\u2018ilshod.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of 14+Axmedova O\u2018g\u2018ilshod.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-61694179-2f46-4949-880c-c745ee0d7868\" href=\"https:\/\/interfinance.tsue.uz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/14Axmedova-O\u2018g\u2018ilshod.pdf\">14+Axmedova O\u2018g\u2018ilshod<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/interfinance.tsue.uz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/14Axmedova-O\u2018g\u2018ilshod.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-61694179-2f46-4949-880c-c745ee0d7868\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Akhmedova Ugilshod Musurmonkul kizi PhD student at the Research Center \u201cScientific Foundations and Problems of the Development of the Economy of Uzbekistan\u201d at the Tashkent State University of Economics ORCID: 0000-0002-2253-077X E-mail: ugilshod.akhmedova@gmail.com Abstract.
