ABOUT THE FORUM
Anchoring major players such as Malaysia and Indonesia, the Asian Islamic capital market has been leading the global industry, not only in size, but also in innovation and diversification. The sophisticated infrastructure of Malaysia is a hallmark of excellence globally, the immense potential of Indonesia’s population and its flourishing sovereign Sukuk market remains captivating to many and the phenomenal market expansion rates in Pakistan and Bangladesh are widely envied. Together, along with relative newcomers such as Singapore, the Maldives and Sri Lanka, the Asian continent is expected to be at the forefront of the global Islamic capital and asset management market, through leveraging advanced and sophisticated regulations, and attracting masses of global investors into the region to subsequently build its rapport with other regions. IFN Asia OnAir Forum 2020 will take place from 24th to 26th November.

The world has changed. How our industry - Islamic banking, finance and asset management - chooses to respond to these changes may be a generation-defining moment. How are we as an industry mobilizing and adapting to address the imminent challenges of the real economy, and provide not just liquidity support but solvency support to the vital SME and corporate sector? How do we change the risk appetite of Shariah compliant investors, asset owners and asset managers for the good of the real economy? Are Islamic banks and asset managers using this opportunity to adequately address important initiatives such as responsible finance and financial inclusion? How can the core values of Islamic finance be further applied to sustainable and socially responsible finance and investment strategies? We ask a respected panel for a roadmap to success in times of uncertainty, challenge and change.

In the shadow of 2020 events, what role can social, pandemic and disaster recovery bonds play and how can Islamic finance solutions feature? In times of stress do Sovereign and corporate Sukuk offer some semblance of stability? What performance measurement tools and techniques are available to investors, and what do these tools tell us about current and imminent market conditions? What Shariah compliant funding options do Malaysian Islamic financial institutions have for satisfying regulatory capital and liquidity requirements, particularly in a stressed environment? How can Sustainable Development Goal 3 – promoting health and wellbeing – be made an achievable priority and what do SDG bonds, and potentially SDG Sukuk, offer? Beyond credit, what types of new vehicles will feature in the financing of sustainable, social, humanitarian projects and what do Islamic finance structures offer? Are ratings, disclosure, reporting, regulatory frameworks and screening among the most significant changes facing sustainable finance and investment today, and how has the sector responded? Finally, where will we see examples of overlap and cooperation between Islamic finance and green and sustainable finance initiatives? We seek the views of an expert panel.

Given its unique service proposition, has Shariah compliant financial technology fulfilled its undoubted potential? Has Islamic FinTech successfully leveraged on its significant and genuine comparative advantage, and if not, why not? What of Islamic FinTech’s readiness, suitability and agility to address and offer solutions to market-driven problem statements? Can Islamic FinTech build on its strengths in alternative funding channels such as P2P, as well as other initiatives designed to foster financial inclusion? If so, what does the next generation Islamic FinTech look like, how is it funded, managed and regulated, and how does it scale? What of activities such as Islamic WealthTech, PropTech and InsurTech? Will they ever reach scalability and be accessible by the masses? Times of significant volatility and change offer us a rare opportunity for such self-examination, which we do through an expert panel.

The sophisticated infrastructure of Malaysia is a hallmark of excellence globally, the immense potential of Indonesia’s population and its flourishing sovereign Sukuk market remains captivating to many and the phenomenal market expansion rates in Pakistan and Bangladesh are widely envied.
Together, along with various other newcomers like the Maldives and Sri Lanka – which is looking to issue a sovereign Islamic paper – the Asian continent is expected to be at the forefront of the global Shariah compliant debt and equity markets by leveraging advanced and sophisticated regulations, and attracting masses of global investors into the region to subsequently build its rapport with other regions.
IFN will return to Kuala Lumpur with its prestigious IFN Asia Forum, a two-day event with a renewed focus on issuers and investors on the 23rd -24th April 2019.

Khairul Nizam 2017
Insightful high-quality discussions at IFN Asia Forum 2017 will certainly help to promote the enhanced agility of the international Islamic finance industry especially in navigating the ever-changing dynamics of finance markets. The forum was particularly successful in highlighting that human capital development is a key prerequisite to enhance the industry’s agility and needs to be supported by a robust quality framework for learning and development – which is at the core of our work in Finance Accreditation Agency that we carry out globally.

Naysan Munusamy-2017
Kudos to REDmoney events for consistently executing the large-scale IFN forums with remarkable success. As a speaker at their events, I’ve always been impressed by their excellent planning well in advance and spot-on execution on the event day itself, making the programs flow smoothly and without hiccups. They are, in my opinion, by far the best Islamic finance event organizers by a distance! Keep it up guys!!

Nida Raza 2017
Participation in the forum has served dual purposes for us – on the one hand, we have had the ability to showcase and raise further our profile among the participants and second, to network with potential collaborators to further Islamic finance in various ways together which will result in a more accelerated development of Islamic finance than if we were to try to ‘go it alone’. Thanks IFN!

Khaled Al Aboodi 2017
IFN has been a strong supporter in raising awareness and organizing Islamic finance events across the globe, especially in countries across Asia. The ICD has had the pleasure of working with IFN on various events and projects and their main IFN Asia event was a great success in bringing many stakeholders together to discuss the Islamic finance agenda. On behalf of the ICD, I would like to thank the IFN team for the service they provide from year to year, and we look forward to their continuing participation in propelling Islamic finance to greater heights.

Kavilash Chawla2017
I have been participating in the IFN Asia Forum with great regularity since the inaugural event over a decade ago. It is refreshing to attend industry events that evolve and pivot to better meet industry needs, hold participant interest and, most importantly, deliver value to the industry. After 10-plus years, the IFN Asia Forum continues to be a leading forum to bring new ideas to a broader market, serve as a gathering place to connect with existing partners and build new relationships and a place to just learn and develop. We are always impressed with IFN events and continue to leverage them as part of our business and human capital development activities every year. Kudos on another productive and valuable event!
