About The Forum
IFN is excited to host the 14th IFN Indonesia Forum in 2022. Leveraging on our strong Indonesian ties and firm regulatory support built over a decade, the IFN Indonesia Forum is a high-level congregation of international and local stakeholders tackling the most pressing issues of Shariah finance through engaging discussions.
There is no denying Indonesia’s Islamic finance potential. The opportunities its 225 million-strong Muslim population – the largest in the world – creates along with the Republic’s strong Shariah affinity are immense. Walking the talk, the Indonesian government has 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 has catapulted itself to the global stage with significant progress, and it has only touched the tip of the iceberg. The economic giant continues to harness its latent Islamic finance potential and the prospects are brighter than ever.
An Introduction to 2022
2022 – READY TO REBOOT
The past two years have been difficult for many. For the first time in almost a century, the world ground to a halt, meaning minimal physical interaction, and a shuddering halt to B2B events as we knew them.
At REDmoney, we went online, building a new platform allowing us to deliver virtual events to our readers and followers around the world. And, although OnAir events don’t allow for face-to-face meetings and that personal interaction we all enjoy, there’s very much a place for them moving forwards, and this is recognized through the IFN OnAir Roadshow visiting a series of key markets in 2022.
However, with the opening of core markets and people returning to offices, we’re delighted to announce our 2022 physical Forum line-up too.
And, with our exclusive OnAir platform and the REDmoney.live portal, all physical forums will also be aired live to a global audience. This means larger audiences and greater participation, which is great news for all involved.
We begin with our coveted Awards Ceremonies in Dubai and Kuala Lumpur, serving their respective markets, followed by events in Nigeria, United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, Malaysia, Indonesia, Oman, and Saudi Arabia.

#IFNFORUMS2022
Forum Agenda
9.05 – 9.20
Keynote Address
9.20 – 10.45
Building Momentum: Indonesian Islamic Financial Services, the Halal Economy and Social Finance
We offer a critical analysis of the applicability of Islamic financial services to two vital, burgeoning sectors in Indonesia: The Halal economy, and social finance. How large is the Halal economy both domestically and internationally? What are the opportunities for servicing, supplying, financing and managing the Halal economy? Are companies within the Halal economy exclusively using Islamic financial services, and if not, why? What represents effective value chain analysis of the Halal economy and how do Islamic financial institutions position themselves to offer successful financing solutions? Why is social finance important and how can Islamic financial institutions play a role in its growth and development in Indonesia? In a post-pandemic world, what does social finance offer in terms of relief and renewal? How can Islamic social finance be used to stimulate enterprise, entrepreneurship, job creation, healthcare and education, and assist with liquidity and funding for the vital SME sector? With such goals in mind, how does the Islamic financial services sector design effective models and strategies, offer innovative products and measure the impact of these important initiatives?
Panelists:Dr Hurriyah El Islamy, Executive Board Member, Badan Pengelola Keuangan Haji (BPKH)
Dr Sutan Emir Hidayat, Director of Islamic Economy Supporting Ecosystem, National Committee for Islamic Economy and Finance
10.45 – 11.15
Coffee & Networking
11.15 – 12.30
Doing the Right Thing: Successfully Positioning Islamic ESG and Sustainable Finance and Investment in Indonesia
Why is a united regulatory response to climate risk so important for the financial services industry, and how do we evaluate initiatives that encourage investors to channel capital into sustainable economic activity, and guide government and quasi-government resource allocation towards climate transition and social responsibility? How do we address the implications of various taxonomies, frameworks and standards, and identify what can now be labelled green investments? How can potential green bond and Sukuk issuers successfully connect issues to internal sustainability frameworks? With ESG and sustainability continuing to grow in the Islamic capital markets issuance, when will we see the measurement of impact? Are sufficient issuers engaging with independent, third parties to measure green, sustainable and social credentials? Finally, can we further capitalize on the collaboration between sustainable finance and Islamic finance, and develop suites of investment products that satisfy both criteria?
Panelists:Ahsan Ali, Managing Director and Head, Islamic Origination, Standard Chartered Saadiq
Enda Ginting, Indonesia country manager, Fortescue Future Industries
Shaiful Kamarul Mohammed, Senior Country Manager, Indonesia, The Islamic Corporation for the Insurance of Investment and Export Credit
12.30 – 13.30
Lunch
13.30 – 14.45
Technology Roundtable: Digitalization and the Evolution of Indonesian Islamic Financial Services
The digitalization of Islamic financial services: what is working, what is viable, and what is not? What do the answers to these questions mean for the evolution of Islamic financial services in Indonesia? How do we evaluate key initiatives designed to modernize and digitally transform the national economy, including the Islamic financial services sector? How has regulation and promotion of Indonesian Islamic crowdfunding and peer-to-peer lending platforms created opportunities for the joint ownership of Shariah compliant assets and investment projects? What measures would assist domestic Islamic financial institutions in the further development of Islamic digital retail, wealth management, Takaful and pension offerings in Indonesia? What are notable milestones and achievements in the development of systems and software for Islamic banks and financial institutions? What technology is available to help Islamic financial institutions drive scale, integrity, efficiency and ultimately profitability? What are the potential uses and applications of digital assets in Indonesia’s financial markets today? What are the key risks and issues surrounding digital assets and what is the role of regulators in the development of an efficient digital marketplace in Indonesia? We ask an expert panel.
Panelists:Farouk Abdullah Alwyni, Chairman, Center for Islamic Studies in Finance
Prashant Gokarn, Co-Founder, DigiAsia Bios
14.45 – 16.00
Indonesian Islamic Capital Markets: Fit for Purpose
What represents innovation in the Indonesian Sukuk market: pioneering structures, sourcing underliers, and the transition from ESG to Impact? What options do hybrid or combination Sukuk offer local issuers, particularly in asset heavy industries such as oil and gas, and aviation? How do Tier-1 and Tier-2 Sukuk offer financial institutions a flexible, efficient and user-friendly way of satisfying regulatory capital requirements, and what do perpetual Sukuk structures offer such issuers? How has innovation been incorporated into project and infrastructure finance, particularly regarding concession agreements, cash contributions and investor protection? With ESG and sustainability continuing to grow in the Islamic capital markets issuance, when will we see the measurement of impact? Are sufficient issuers engaging with independent, third parties to measure green, sustainable and social credentials? With the demise of LIBOR, is SOFR a good alternative for the local Islamic Capital Market? We seek the views of an expert panel.
