Seminar on Emerging Sharī`ah Issues in Regulatory Capital and Risk Management in Islamic Banking

Kuala Lumpur, 7 December 2011 – The Islamic Financial Services Board (IFSB) is organising a Seminar on Emerging Sharī`ah Issues in Regulatory Capital and Risk Management in Islamic Banking on 17 – 18 January 2012 in Brunei Darussalam. The Autoriti Monetari Brunei Darussalam (AMBD) is hosting the Seminar, with the support of the Centre for Islamic Banking, Finance and Management, Brunei (CIBFM).

The one and a half-day seminar aims to discuss Sharī`ah issues emerging from the regulatory capital requirement for institutions offering Islamic financial services in light of international regulatory developments such as Basel III.  In this respect, the Seminar will examine current issues relating to the utilisation of funding, sources of funds and market practices on the management of risks, and their impacts to the capital regulatory requirement.

The topics to be discussed in this Seminar are:

  • Regulatory capital
  • Credit and equity investment risks
  • Market and operational risks
  • Profit-sharing investment accounts and Sharī`ah-compliant deposits
  • Panel Discussion on Contemporary Sharī`ah issues in light of the rapid industry development and dynamic regulatory framework

The IFSB is inviting all its member organisations to participate in the Seminar, which is also open to the stakeholders of the Islamic financial community from among regulatory and supervisory authorities, financial institutions, professional firms and academics with interest in the area. Participation is free of charge. However, confirmation of registration, which should be secured from the IFSB, will be on a first-come-first-served basis.
