Ammar H Khan, CEO, National Credit Guarantee Company Limited (NCGCL)

Ammar H. Khan leads the National Credit Guarantee Company Limited, an institution with a direct role in unlocking private finance for Pakistan’s clean energy and climate-resilient development agenda. Credit guarantee mechanisms are one of the most powerful but underutilised tools for mobilising investment in sectors and geographies that commercial banks consider too risky, and Pakistan’s transition to renewable energy, resilient agriculture, and climate-smart infrastructure depends heavily on whether such financing can be made to flow at scale. His work sits at the junction of financial systems and climate outcomes, a space that is increasingly recognised as central to whether Pakistan can attract and deploy the investment its climate adaptation and mitigation commitments require. Pakistan has repeatedly highlighted the gap between international climate finance pledges and actual funding delivered, and institutions like NCGCL play a critical domestic role in bridging that gap by reducing perceived risk and building the pipeline of bankable climate projects.
