IFN Singapore OnAir Roadshow 2022

#IFNSINGAPORE2022

About The Roadshow

Boasting one of the world’s most sophisticated financial markets rooted in transparency and a sound legal framework, and bolstered by a stable and open economy, Singapore has all the characteristics of a potentially successful global Islamic financial market.

Although it still has to face tough competition with neighboring Malaysia if it aspires to be the Shariah finance stronghold of the region, the Lion City has the advantage as an international financial center, acting as the gateway to China and the wider east.

Captivated by its world-class financial infrastructure, over 200 international banks have made Singapore their home and springboard into the region, and an increasing number of these banks are recognizing the growing demand for dollar Shariah compliant services leading them to set up Islamic finance desks as a strategic move to capture international Shariah dollars from clients across Asia and the Middle East looking to access the global markets.

An Introduction to 2022

2022 – READY TO REBOOT

Welcome to the IFN OnAir Roadshow 2022.

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.

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.

These are all key markets in the world of Islamic finance, and we believe will be significant participants in the coming years and are delighted to deliver these events in a virtual format.

The IFN OnAir Roadshow is a series of online roundtables, recorded and produced for the IFN global audience to enjoy. As the Islamic finance industry’s leading media and events company; these events will retain their exclusivity and unmatched reach.

Keynote Address

Islamic Finance and Investment in Singapore: A Golden Opportunity

With the emergence of the first Shariah compliant balanced fund in Singapore to use quant investing technology and ESG screening in Singapore, what is the potential for the development of further such collective investment products in the republic? What opportunities does MAS’s Green & Sustainability Linked Loan Grant Scheme offer corporates moving towards sustainable practices, and does Islamic finance and investment have a role to play? Is there demand for a Shariah compliant home financing solution in Singapore and what is needed to create the momentum for the development of such a product? With a reputation for innovation in verticals such as payment systems, what does Shariah compliant financial technology have to offer in Singapore and what are future areas of competitive advantage? How can Singapore extend the provision of Islamic social finance and does Waqf offer an interesting opportunity? We seek the views of an expert panel.

Panelists:

Nashat Qadan, Director Advisory Services, EPIC Management Solutions
Paul Bamber, Head of Sales, Asia, Montreux Capital Management
Dr Shamsiah Abdul Karim, CEO, Pergas Investment Holdings
