Islamic Banking and Finance Conferences and Events

Islamic banking and finance continues to be one of the fastest growing segments in the global financial industry, with its high-growth potential being increasingly recognised in key financial centres across the world. The Middle East region has played a pivotal role from the very early stages in the development of the industry. Today, with the expansion of major economies in the region, there has been unprecedented growth in the Islamic finance industry - with significant growth potential still to be tapped.The Middle East markets have recognised that Shari'ah compliant alternatives in the areas of banking and finance have become increasingly attractive among the investment community, corporate end users, consumers and intermediaries. This is evident from the shift in recent years where the Middle East market has seen billions of dollars moving from conventional banks to the Shari'ah model. The Middle East, which accounts for nearly 60% of global Islamic banking assets, is clearly a key nerve centre of Islamic finance.

It is against this dynamic backdrop that MEGA is launching the 1st Annual Middle East Islamic Finance & Investment Conference (MEIFIC 2011) to provide a high-profile platform to specifically focus on the opportunities and challenges that are forging the Islamic banking, finance and investment landscape in the region. To be held on the 12th & 13th of April 2011 at the Dusit Thani Dubai, MEIFIC 2011 will focus on providing a powerful platform for industry players seeking to further build their presence in the dynamically evolving Middle East markets for Islamic finance and to explore emerging opportunities which will further increase the momentum of growth.
