Global Islamic finance industry to undergo assessment of 40-year history this December

The World Islamic Banking Conference (WIBC) continues to live up to its reputation after officially announcing today that its 22nd annual edition will provide industry leaders with an opportunity to critically assess Islamic finance’s 40-year history. This coming December, regulators, CEOs, scholars and other leaders from the Middle East, East Asia, Africa and Europe will assess and reflect upon the achievements, challenges and opportunities in the rapidly growing Islamic finance industry, currently amounting to $2 trillion. Some of the industry’s preeminent leaders will address the core question of how the current system can converge with its original proposition.
