About the IFN Indonesia Dialogues

Long referred to as the sleeping giant of Islamic finance, Indonesia is asleep no more and is blazing the trail for Shariah compliant finance and economy.

The world’s most populous Muslim nation is aggressively harnessing its latent potential, with an impressive top-down approach rivaling the most sophisticated Islamic finance markets, mobilizing resources at a rate not seen anywhere else. With the President of the Republic at the helm of the National Islamic Finance Committee, numerous new policies and measures have been introduced to catapult itself to become a global center for Islamic finance and Halal economy.

Armed with a clear vision, robust measures, detailed multi-pronged and comprehensive Islamic economic masterplan, Indonesia has catapulted itself to the global stage with significant progress, and it has only touched the tip of the iceberg.

The introduction of pioneering instruments such as cash Waqf Sukuk and digital retail Sukuk as well as the tripartite merger of state-owned banks which culminated in an Islamic megabank, Bank Syariah Indonesia, are a few examples of how the Republic is breaking barriers to take its place on the global Islamic finance stage.

After 14 years of hosting the IFN Indonesia Forum, IFN is excited to bring the exalted IFN Dialogues Series to Jakarta in 2023. The high-level IFN Indonesia Dialogues will adopt a targeted approach to identify gaps and opportunities in the market to determine best way forward for Indonesia to further internationalize its capabilities with the help of local leaders and international experts.

The Previous IFN Indonesia Forum

IFN Indonesia Forum 2022

This was the IFN 14th IFN Indonesia Forum.

Leveraging on our strong Indonesian ties and firm regulatory support built over a decade, the IFN Indonesia Forum was a high-level congregation of international and local stakeholders tackling the most pressing issues of Shariah finance through engaging discussions.

There was no denying Indonesia’s Islamic finance potential. The opportunities its 225 million-strong Muslim population – the largest in the world – created along with the Republic’s strong Shariah affinity were immense. Walking the talk, the Indonesian government had effectively mobilized resources, including a raft of regulations, to propel itself to become a global hub for the Halal economy and Islamic finance.

Armed with a clear vision, robust measures, detailed multi-pronged and comprehensive Halal economy masterplan, Indonesia had catapulted itself to the global stage with significant progress, and it had only touched the tip of the iceberg. The economic giant continued to harness its latent Islamic finance potential and the prospects were brighter than ever.
