Islamic Finance news Turkey Roadshow
consolidates efforts to champion Islamic finance

Expanding the Realms of Islamic Finance

This year has been a breakthrough year for Turkey, with the government's efforts to show its commitment to the industry materializing via its first sovereign Sukuk; placing the republic alongside big-ticket issuers such as Qatar and the UAE. With increasing opportunities for participation financing in the project and infrastructure development sectors, SME sectors and capital markets, Turkey can look forward to enjoying a robust participation banking environment in the near future.

First held in 2009, the IFN Roadshow in Istanbul has continued to develop and mature. In 2012, with more support than before, audience numbers are expected to increase yet again. This year's event is supported by the Central Bank of Turkey, the Istanbul Stock Exchange and the Participation Banks Association of Turkey. This one-day event on the 6th December 2012 will address key issues pertinent to the country's participation financing market; including recent governmental efforts, tax and regulatory updates, and insight into its Islamic micro-financing, SME and agro-financing sectors.

Amongst the topics that will be discussed at the roadshow are: Turkey and the Development of Local and Regional Participation Capital Markets; Product Structure, Innovation and Development for Participation Finance in Turkey; Facilitating Shariah Compliant Investment Flows Through Innovative Products, Structures and Channels in Turkey; and The Role of Institutional Investors and Takaful Funds in the Participation Investment landscape. The event will also see case study presentations and roundtables with major industry players.
