There are now at least 12 jurisdictions where Islamic banking is identified to have systemic importance for the domestic banking sector. These trends indicate Islamic finance is now gradually moving towards achieving mainstream concentration. What doors to opportunities could be further unlocked for the stakeholders? What would be the issues and challenges to this path of transformation? This session aims to highlight: • The growth and transformation of the IFSI over the last decade • Key differentiation between Islamic and conventional finance products • Measures to be undertaken for future growth and competitiveness • Emerging risks in the IFSI and the preparedness of institutions offering Islamic financial services to deal with such risks • The role of the regulatory framework in ensuring sustained resilience of institutions offering Islamic financial services \n\n\n\n12:30 – 14:00\nLunch\n\n\n14:00 – 15:30\n\nSession 2 : The FinTech Innovative Progression: Boon or Bane For Traditional Financial Institutions? \nThis Session aims to look into and discuss the widespread launch of financial technology platforms globally\, which has begun to change the shape of how traditional banking and financial transactions are carried out\, particularly by the age group of millennials. More so\, FinTech and P2P platforms are beginning to partake financing activities that the traditional banking models have generally not participated deeply in. These include microfinance to individuals and business financing to small- and medium-sized enterprises. How has this development affected the traditional financial institutions – do FinTech and P2P platforms complement\, or substitute\, traditional banking and finance services? This session aims to highlight: • The rise of FinTech / P2P platforms and their impact on the financial market place • The response of the traditional financial institutions to the FinTech Boom • The relevance and applicability of Sharīʻah-compliant contracts to FinTech transactions • The enabling “regulatory sandbox” guidelines for innovations in Sharīʻah-compliant FinTech / P2P offerings • Boosting SME Financing through Fin Tech and P2P Platforms \n\n\n\n15:30 – 16:00\nCoffee Break & Networking\n\n\n16:00 – 17:30\n\nSession 3 : Implementing New Regulatory Reforms: Balancing Between the Soundness and Competitiveness of Institutions offering Islamic Financial Services \nThe Session aims to discuss the post-financial crisis regulatory reforms\, which have underscored the importance of systemic risk and a macro-prudential approach towards financial-sector risk management\, as well as unrolled a more stringent capital and liquidity adequacy framework. Regulatory and supervisory authorities (RSAs) have now started to implement these reforms and institutions offering Islamic financial services (IIFS)\, being under their regulatory mandate\, also have to comply with such guidelines. How enabled is the market infrastructure in supporting the IIFS to meet these revised financial regulations? What types of financial safety-nets arrangements and liquidity management instruments are available for the IIFS? Given a condition where there is a lack of supporting Sharīʻah-compliant instruments\, how do the RSAs adopt flexibility (if any) to accommodate IIFS? What is the rule of thumb when it comes to implementing regulations with a view to balancing between soundness and competitiveness of the IIFS?

These funds have been raised to support a variety of budgetary needs including to fund development expenditures\, meet working capital needs\, and finance infrastructure projects\, etc. The fund raising has not been restricted to Muslim-majority countries\, and a number of non-Muslim majority states have also participated in ICM (e.g. via issuing Ṣukūk\, listing Sharīʻah-compliant funds\, etc). A key facilitator for ICM\, going forward\, will be greater harmonisation in the issuance and trading of Islamic securities on cross border platforms. This session aims to highlight:\n• The role of Islamic capital market in facilitating fund-raising for issuers\n• The challenges emanating from divergent practices between jurisdictions in relation to ICM products\n• The opportunities for greater cross-border collaboration and business expansion\n• The need for harmonising disclosure practices between jurisdictions in relation to ICM products \n\n\n\n11:00 – 11:30\nCoffee Break & Networking\n\n\n11:30 – 13:00\n\nSession 5 : Wrap-up Session: The Way Forward for Islamic Finance: Strengthening Value Proposition\, Sustaining Resilience  \nThe stakeholders of the IFSI\, each\, need to play their due role in reinvigorating momentum in the IFSI while sustaining its stability and resilience. RSAs need to continue the development and implementation of facilitative prudential\, legal and regulatory architecture for the IIFS. The market players themselves need to ensure sound risk management principles are in place keeping in view the specificities of Islamic financial transactions. The international standard setters should continue pushing forward the reform agenda by way of providing further guiding principles and technical notes on diverse subject matters in relation to the IFSI including on resolution\, recovery and insolvency structures of the IIFS\, Anti-Money Laundering and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (AML/CFT) safeguards in IIFS transactions\, upholding of consumer protection in IFSI products and services\, etc. This session aims to highlight:\n• The key challenges and issues for the IFSI from the current global economic and political conditions and measures to address them\n• The role of the various IFSI stakeholders in faring through this period with a view to achieving growth and sustainability\n• The expected challenges for the IFSI (if any) in the near future\n• In general\, the way forward for the IFSI to weather through turbulent times and achieve greater heights \n\n\n\n13:00 – 14:00\nLunch
