The Islamic Finance news Roadshow
Now enjoying its 3rd year the Islamic Finance news Roadshow is a longer and stronger series of events.
Following the phenomenal success of the past two years, we are pleased to announce the dates for 2010, including an additional nine markets.
Over 4,000 delegates have attended during the past two years.
2009 could be termed an annus horribilis, following the continued downturn in economies and f i nancial markets around the globe.
At the turn of the year the Islamic fi nance industry had somehow been relatively unscathed and many were predicting 2009 to be its unveiling to previously uninterested markets. This was not the case. The Middle East was soon to witness an avalanche of poor results within the Islamic fi nance space with few deals coming to fruition. Other previously key markets also suffered a similar fate.
Then, as Islamic fi nancial instruments continued to be touted as indestructible, the industry witnessed its fi rst major default. Followed by another, and another and then another.
However, in comparison to the conventional markets, Islamic fi nance has stood up to the recession relatively well. And now, as issuers and investors around the world try and piece together what has happened, they’re now realizing that Islamic fi nance, although not entirely immune, is perhaps the healthier option.
For the past fi ve years Islamic Finance news has been reaching out and educating new markets. For the past two years the educational IFN Roadshow, in key developing Islamic fi nancial markets, has been an overwhelming success. The IFN 2010 Roadshow, which will be bigger and stronger, couldn’t have come at a better time.
Seventeen markets have been chosen for the 2010 Roadshow, all of which we consider as developing Islamic fi nancial markets. If you have or would like a presence in any of these, then this Roadshow is for you.
