IFN Indonesia Dialogues 2025
Introduction to 2025
Nobody can ignore the phenomenal Islamic finance potential Indonesia holds. The sheer size of the world’s largest Muslim nation has been attracting global attention and the Republic is adeptly harnessing its latent potential, with an impressive top-down approach rivaling the most sophisticated Islamic finance markets, mobilizing resources at a rate not seen anywhere else.
With the President of the Republic at the helm of the National Islamic Finance Committee, numerous new policies and measures have been introduced to catapult itself to become a global center for Islamic finance and the Halal economy.
We are excited to return to Jakarta this year with the highly acclaimed IFN Dialogues Series. The high-level IFN Indonesia Dialogues adopts a targeted approach to identify gaps and opportunities in the market to determine the best way forward for Indonesia to further internationalize its capabilities with the help of local leaders and international experts.
IFN Dialogues 2025
Since REDmoney events’s inception in 2006, we have always been at the cutting edge, delivering timely events in a format suited best to each market and sector.
IFN Dialogues were first introduced in Luxembourg in 2014. Since then, we have developed the concept and are delighted to bring this format to the more mature and developed markets, which prefer in-depth discussion and debate over the more traditional forum format.

“ IFN Dialogues provide a valuable platform to share experiences, ideas and also to expand our network. Also, the new format in 2019 enabled constructive discussions. Thank you very much to the REDmoney team. ”
Senior Vice-President, Capital Markets, Investment Banking at Turkiye Kalkinma ve Yatirim Bankasi
“ Thank you and your colleagues for this very successful event. The way it was structured allowed a frank and progressive dialogue on a subject that the participants are anxious to see progress in Luxembourg, after a period of somewhat long stasis. It has enabled us to not only restart the dialogue among us and reconnect, but also hear what is done abroad, and the feelings and thinking of foreign practitioners. The presence of the minister and his obvious involvement lent a sense of empowerment. Finally, I found the Malaysian contribution invaluably useful. I look forward to the next conference in Luxembourg. ”
Senior Vice-Preident, Garanti Bank
“ We have long since come to expect that IFN Forums will provide an opportunity for discussion and debate of topical industry agenda. This year the inclusion of a series of focused, country dialogues has introduced another dimension. Amongst them, the Luxembourg Dialogue gave invited Islamic financial market participants and industry observers an unprecedented opportunity to connect, in open discussion, with senior practitioner counterparts from Luxembourg’s banking, capital markets and asset management sectors, as well as its regulators and leading providers of ancillary services. ”
Managing Director, DDCap
“ Hosting extended panel discussions is an excellent idea. Topics can be discussed fully, often with panelists asking questions of each other, allowing deeper insights to emerge from the discussion. A great initiative. ”

LEAD MEDIA PARTNERS
Islamic Finance news
Islamic Finance news (IFN) is the company’s principal publication. IFN is a digital, subscription-based publication available online and through smartphone and tablet applications. Published weekly, the journal provides exclusive and comprehensive coverage of the global Islamic financial markets through in-house analysis and expert external contributions; in addition to a daily news service, additional quarterly supplements and a variety of special annual issues.
Differentiated by trusted relationships across the industry since 2004, IFN is able to leverage an unrivalled network of contacts and connections to provide unparalleled insight into the issues affecting global Shariah compliant markets: along with in-house analysis, news, interviews, reports, industry and sector data, and much more.
With an archived website containing over 80,000 exclusive reports, the IFN portfolio also hosts a suite of proprietary tools including the industry’s largest interactive terminology glossary, a directory of over 9,000 global Islamic financial institutions and a portal to Islamic Banking Intelligence, the most comprehensive source of segmented Islamic banking financial data.
IFN Fintech
Fintech is one of the most exciting sectors of the global financial industry, breaking boundaries and challenging preconceptions in one of the shake-ups of the century. A new class of financial players is disrupting the status quo – and financial institutions must embrace this change or face being left behind as the financial landscape transforms beyond recognition.
But although fintech as a whole has been well-served by the media, the Islamic segment has so far made limited penetration on public consciousness – despite the enormous potential it represents for the industry. There is a clear chasm between the multitude of pioneering entrepreneurs, start-ups and fintech firms making waves in the Islamic space; and the interested investors, institutions and stakeholders keen to explore these opportunities.
Recognizing this information gap, IFN is delighted to introduce to you a bespoke multi-channel platform – IFN FinTech.
Comprised of four tranches, IFN FinTech is a one-stop-shop for industry knowledge, networking and communication – supported by our unrivaled global network, our strong social media platform and our trusted multimedia Islamic finance offering.
IFN Sustainable
IFN Sustainable, comprises a dedicated portal, weekly news alert, audio and video podcasts, interviews, data, exclusive reports, case studies, research, virtual roundtables, and hybrid forums. With a focus on the latest news and developments, IFN Sustainable is also be a pivotal platform for thought leadership and the launch of new products and services within the industry. IFN Sustainable also partners with some of the leading organizations associated with the Islamic and sustainable finance industry, providing holistic coverage.
IFN Investor
The Islamic investment industry is a fastgrowing and dynamic sector within the Islamic finance space, with a ballooning pool of assets under management, reflecting a rapidly increasing demand for Islamic investment products.
Yet this increased demand has not been matched by increased activity in the media space.
And, although IFN has been reporting on the Islamic investment market for almost 20-years, we noticed we could do more and decided to rectify this imbalance.
After extensive research and surveying of the global Islamic investor industry on what they would like to see, we have designed and built a one stop portal for all those involved or interested in the local, regional, and global Shariah compliant investment market.
