IFN Turkey OnAir Roadshow 2022

In Partnership With

#IFNTURKEY2022

About The Roadshow

Turkey, a vital market for participation finance (Islamic finance) of late, has made plans to introduce new regulations for interest-free finance systems. The country has established three state participation lenders and attached great importance to non-interest finance solutions.

Despite the huge diversification of all alternative financial instruments, the banking sector still accounts for 90% of the financial industry. The country aims to raise the share of participation finance in total banking assets to 15% as of 2025 from its current level of 5%. Turkey still needs a strong economy and a sound financial system.

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.

#IFNFORUMS2022

Roadshow Agenda

Building Momentum: Participation Financial Services in Turkey

With Tier 2 and regulatory capital Sukuk issuance flourishing, what is the potential for the Turkish Sukuk market, and what more is needed to bring corporate issuers to market? What are the latest prospects for participation sustainable finance and investment in Turkey, and how can Turkish participation financial institutions develop effective participation sustainable investment products? What are Shariah compliant funding options for infrastructure and large-scale projects and what is the potential for private sector financing of green infrastructure projects in Turkey? What is the significance of recent initiatives by Turkish regulators towards the expansion of digitalization initiatives for the domestic participation finance sector? What measures would assist participation banks in the further development of digital retail, wealth management, Takaful and pension offerings in Turkey? How are digitalization initiatives influencing the performance and market share of Turkish participation banks?
