IFN South Africa OnAir Roadshow 2022

#IFNSOUTHAFRICA2022

About The Roadshow

This is the 3rd South Africa event.

Islamic banking and finance in South Africa is governed by the same legislation as its conventional counterpart, with accommodations for Shariah compliant transactions. Sukuk were formally recognized in 2011 as an instrument for the government, but later in 2016, were opened up to public entities and listed companies.

South Africa boasts one fully-fledged Islamic bank and four banks offering Islamic products on a window basis. There are also two fully-fledged Takaful operators.

There are 11 asset management companies offering Shariah instruments with over 20 Islamic funds, including at least three exchange-traded funds, in the South African Islamic fund space.

South Africa is a pioneer in the African Islamic finance space and will continue to develop its eager domestic market.

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.

Roadshow Agenda

The Road Ahead: Enlarging the Footprint of South African Islamic Financial Services

Does the global increase in the adoption of ethical and socially responsible financial products bode well for the development and distribution of Islamic financial products in South Africa, and how are the two sectors symbiotic? If we consider the South African Islamic banking market, where is the activity, where is the growth, and has Islamic banking in South Africa lived up to early expectations? Can digitalization play a role in helping Islamic banks grow and scale, while ultimately helping the underbanked segments of South African society? What steps has the republic taken to bolster the growth and development of sustainable finance and investment, and where does Islamic finance play a role in this journey? What is the potential for private sector financing of long-term green and sustainable infrastructure projects in South Africa? Finally, when will we see further sovereign, quasi-sovereign and regulatory capital Sukuk issuance, and what factors influence decisions made by potential South African issuers? We seek the views of a respected panel.

Panelists:

Dr Akeem Oyewale, CEO, Marble Capital
Mouhamad Ahmed Tidjani Sow, Head treasury sales/Trade Manager/corporate banking, The Islamic Corporation for the Insurance of Investment and Export Credit (ICIEC)
