IFN OnAir Roadshows 2022 Review

Following the hugely successful IFN OnAir Roadshow 2021 we are delighted to announce an extended series for 2022. 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.

About the IFN Qatar OnAir Roadshow

This was the 3rd IFN Qatar event.

Qatar’s’ Islamic banking industry, with four fully-fledged Islamic banks, enjoyed 26.1% of the total market share of global Islamic banking assets as at the third quarter of 2019.

The four Takaful operators enjoyed a 45% domestic market share.

Abroad, QIIB had founded Umnia Bank in Morocco, while Masraf Al Rayan-owned Al Rayan Investment was working on establishing a fintech-based Islamic bank in Kazakhstan.

Islamic fintech was an area of focus, with Qatar Fintech Hub launching incubator programs to develop fintech start-ups focusing on Islamic finance, including Takatech and Shariah compliant cryptocurrency.

Qatar remained a global leader for the Islamic finance industry and with its sturdy regulations and progressive regulators, its position was not in jeopardy.
