About The Forum
Now a leading force in the local and regional Islamic finance space, spanning all sectors and products, the Omani Islamic finance industry continues to flourish. With a stringent regulatory infrastructure, industry players are assured of support from the authorities, and the market remains open to expansion and improvement.
Islamic financing in the Sultanate grew 6.7% as at the end of September 2020 and the combined total assets of Islamic banks and windows now stands at US$12.96 billion, or 14% of the total assets of the Omani banking sector.
The 6th IFN Oman Forum, in collaboration with all key local regulators, returns in 2021 to provide exclusive access for industry experts, potential investors, and leaders from around the region to further develop the market. Once again, the private and highly regarded IFN Oman Dialogue will be held post Forum.
An Introduction to 2021
At REDmoney, 2020 taught us much about the state of the events business. What works, what doesn’t and how to continue delivering unparalleled programs to our global audience.
It’s a fundamental element of our business going forward, and we will continue to adapt to ensure we remain relevant and our events remain the industry’s best.
The global appetite and requirements for converging has shifted and now more than ever, we are strategically planning our events to adapt to these changes in the face of disruption without compromising on the quality of knowledge transfer and outreach.
Technological advancements have given rise to exciting opportunities in developing new formats that allows unlimited real time interaction remotely.
Moving forward, we will deliver a blend of physical and online events, ensuring the best of both worlds. Physical interaction is important to many, whilst travel and time away from the office isn’t always necessary to reach new markets.
For 2021, through careful research and planning, we have curated bespoke events online and offline with your interest in mind.
