About the Event
The place for advancing Islamic Finance
Are you active in Islamic Finance? Do you want to expand your business in this space?
As the industry surpasses USD 1 trillion in outstanding sukuk and USD 4-5 trillion in total Islamic finance assets, the conversation is shifting from growth to globalisation.
With Islamic finance moving towards becoming a mainstream asset class, market participants face new questions around standardisation, liquidity, secondary market depth and cross-border participations
The Global Islamic Finance Summit will discuss the practical realities of scaling Islamic finance from a specialised segment, offering a forward-looking forum to understanding where the industry is heading. It brings together Islamic banks, Shariah-compliant divisions of traditional banks, investment funds, takaful companies, regulatory bodies, sovereign wealth funds and governments. Here, they can network, explore investment opportunities, discuss product and regulatory developments, address industry challenges, share best practices and advance Islamic finance's integration into global markets.
