IFN will kick off 2018 with two awards ceremonies in our 13th year running that recognize the best and leading players in the global Islamic finance industry and their contributions in 2017. The Islamic finance industry has come a long way from being a minor subset of the financial industry, and is now a force of its own to be reckoned with, as increasing awareness regarding the positive and beneficial impact of Shariah compliant financial transactions permeates the financial system. The annual awards ceremonies will honor those that have played a critical and impactful role in unraveling the potential of Islamic finance to a wider base of investors and audience, as the industry’s well-known figures gather in Kuala Lumpur and Dubai for the IFN Awards Ceremonies.
