About the International Islamic Finance Conference 2013The Islamic market is about 1.8 billion consumers and worth more than 2 trillion dollars. This constitutes an enormous market where Islamic values help shape the societal structures, culture and legal norms that influence consumer preferences and behaviour.
In many cases, Islamic customers and businesses think and act outside the conventions of ‘Western Business’ theory and practice.
The chief objective of the forthcoming conference is to assess the future of this sector, taking note of the historic events that have been unfolding in the world generally, and, more particularly, in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Matters relating to government policy, raising new finance, regulation, Sharia-compliant financial instruments, corporate performance, and acceptability of Islamic products will be analyzed and discussed in depth.
Who should attend?
• Government Policy Makers• Banking Regulators and Auditors• Economists and Research Scholars• Judiciary and Legal Practitioners• Finance and Accounting Professionals• CEOs and CFOs from the Corporate Sector• Shari’ah Scholars in Islamic Banks• Shariah Compliance Managers• Management within Islamic banking• Management within Takaful companies• Accounting Managers• Academics• Ph. D / M. Phil. Candidates
