Turkey is another upcoming market for Islamic finance and one which many players have long had their eyes on. With a strong commitment from the Turkish authorities, the industry continues to flourish and IFN Turkey remains one of our strongest and longest-running events.
As the country steps up its Shariah compliant activities, new players, new regulations and new issuances make for a vibrant market driven by growing investor interest both domestic and international.
With exceptional support from the Turkish regulators making this a truly progressive event, IFN Turkey returns to the excellent facilities of Borsa Istanbul for its 2016 incarnation.
