Jordan First Islamic Finance Forum Set
A major conference on Islamic finance will be held in Jordan in June. The General Council for Islamic Banks and Financial Institutions (CIBAFI - Bahrain) and the Strategy for Business Development - Jordan will jointly hold the First Islamic Forum of Islamic Banks and Financial Institutions (FACIB 2012) under the title Horizons of Islamic Finance.
The conference will take place on June 27 and 28 and is expected to be attended by institutions directly involved with Islamic and international finance. It will feature 30 to 35 internationally recognized speakers, whose conference presentations will highlight the latest issues affecting and influencing the development of Islamic finance throughout the region.
The forum will provide a platform for dialogue and discussions among finance experts, chief executives, top officials from major banks and organizations, researchers, graduate students, academics, representatives from the local and national governments, and participants to address and discuss the latest strategies, products and services in Islamic economics and finance discipline.
The conference will be held in co-operation with the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions, Association of Banks in Jordan, and the Development and Employment Fund (Reyada).
"Islamic economics and finance are central components of the future of Arab countries," said CIBAFI secretary-general Dr Ezzeddine Khoja, who is also the chairman of the Higher Organizing Committee of FACIB 2012.
"Another important attribute of this conference is in its large number of speakers and participants," he added.
Khoja also said that Jordan was chosen for CIBAFI's first event because it has recently developed an Islamic banking sector that attracted investors.
Representatives from Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Palestine, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Egypt, Sudan, Iraq, Malaysia, the UK, Pakistan as well as Jordan will attend the event.
