Kamran, A TAILOR in Rawalpindi, is enjoying a little boom. He and his staff--two men perched on a platform above the counter in his tiny shop--have increased production fivefold this year, to five or six suits a day. They charge 300 rupees (about $3.30) each, with the customers supplying the material. The secret of their success is simple. They have access to credit, in the form of a 15,000-rupee loan from Tameer Bank, a micro-credit lender, and, thanks to that, to a reliable supply of electricity. They have invested the money in a battery that enables them to keep sewing through the power cuts that bedevil Rawalpindi, and indeed most of Pakistan, for much of the day and night.
