IFSB Roundtable on Exposure Draft GN-8: Guidance Note on Deepening the Islamic Capital Markets

The Roundtable is organised by the IFSB to discuss the Exposure Draft of Guidance Note-8 on Deepening the Islamic Capital Markets, in line with the IFSB due process for the development of Standards and Guidance/Technical Notes. The ED GN-8 seeks to promote financial stability through deep and liquid Islamic financial systems with diverse instruments that will help enhance countries’ resilience to shocks, and in turn, also support the resilience of other parts of the Islamic financial services industry by providing a wider range of investments with better price discovery. The Roundtable aims to invite selected experts to discuss the some of the issues highlighted in ED GN-8 with a view to soliciting constructive and practical feedback, particularly on specific issues facing the development of the Islamic capital market and practices that have been successful in particular jurisdictions as well as how technology might help in addressing these issues.   Programme – Event Session(s)
