About the Event
Unlocking Sukuk and Islamic Finance for sovereigns and corporates across CEECAT
The annual meeting place for sovereigns, corporates, banks, and investors shaping the future of Islamic finance, sukuk issuance, and Sharia‑compliant investment across CEECAT.
Islamic Finance: CEE, Central Asia & Türkiye 2026 is a practical forum for sovereigns and corporates across CEECAT looking to understand how to tap Islamic finance markets, structure sukuk, and build Sharia‑compliant funding programmes.
As Islamic finance becomes more mainstream, issuers face real questions around standardisation, documentation, liquidity, secondary market depth and attracting cross‑border investors.
The event brings together Islamic banks, Sharia‑compliant divisions of conventional banks, investment funds, takaful firms, regulators and government financing offices. The focus is on practical guidance: how to structure transactions, navigate regulatory requirements, assess investor appetite, and learn from successful sovereign and corporate issuers.
