Unlocking the Future of Islamic Finance

Islamic finance industry is in need of innovation and differentiation from its conventional counterparts to further their market share. Markets around the world have started acknowledging the importance of financial sector in promoting sustainable growth particularly the Islamic finance industry. The initiative by the Indonesian Government by issuing World’s first sovereign Green Sukuk is a testament to the commitment of sustainable financing. Islamic finance is pivoting towards not only catering on Shariah compliant products and services but also aligning them with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. In addition, the rise of fintech and techfin companies is disrupting the business of existing financial institutions. We ask a high-level panel to share their views on how to unlock the future of Islamic finance.

We analyze the challenges in financing low carbon developments, the examples of innovative projects in Indonesia, Green Sukuk and Waqf-linked Sukuk for funding sustainable and environmentally responsible projects and explore the opportunities available to Islamic finance.
