The 10th Islamic Financial Services Board Summit 2013 was held in Sasana Kijang, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, hosted by Bank Negara Malaysia. The theme of the Summit “The Future of the Islamic Financial Services Industry: Resilience, Stability and Inclusive Growth”, aimed to examine regulatory policies that underpin inclusive growth with stability. These include the potentially significant impact on the (IFSI) arising from further reforms at the global level by international intergovernmental organisations and international standard-setting bodies to promote global financial stability. As the global industry enters its next phase of growth in an increasingly challenging economic and financial environment, this necessitates the need to reflect on the lessons learnt, including from the global crisis, and to have in place a comprehensive regulatory framework to ensure a resilient and stable industry moving forward, in particular given the escalating cross-sectoral nature and interconnectedness of the industry. 18 chairmen and speakers who were Governors and deputy governors as well as senior financial sector supervisors and experts from international financial institutions participated as speakers. The Summit was attended by over 300 delegates from 35 countries comprising of senior officials from supervisory and regulatory bodies as well as representatives from international institutions, market players, accreditation, insurance and Takāful, academia as well as other stakeholders of the Islamic financial services industry.

In the context of the medium-term outlook for the global economy, the session will assess the implications of global regulatory reforms which will impact the capital buffers and liquidity positions of financial institutions. The implementation of Basel III requirements poses both challenges and opportunities for Islamic financial institutions, which will have to devote significant efforts and resources to meet the new international standards. 12:30 - 14:00 Lunch 14:00 - 15:30 Session 2 : Cross-sectoral Approach to the Regulation of Islamic Finance and Market Development: Lessons Learnt This session aims to identify measures to be undertaken in light of the interconnectedness of Islamic financial institution and market segments. The expansion of Takāful and capital market segments in Islamic finance underscores the cross-sectoral nature of the activities of institutions in the IFSI, and the common features of their banking, securities (fund management) and Takāful operations. This session will evaluate the state of progress in the corresponding development of the cross-sectoral regulatory and prudential framework. The work of various international standard-setters in the preparation of core principles for prudential regulation and supervision will be examined in the context of understanding the lessons that can be learnt from them. 15:30 - 16:00 Coffee Break & Networking 16:00 - 17:30 Session 3 : New Markets, New Frontiers - Prospects and Challenges This session aims to identify the progress of development in growth areas for Islamic finance, as well as the prospects and challenges. As Islamic finance expands into new markets and across new frontiers in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East the prospects for broadening and sustaining private sector financing whilst responding to the needs of a diverse range of customers and consumers is raising significant challenge, as well as opportunities. The challenges include, but are not limited to, legal, regulatory, tax and other impediments. Addressing these impediments are also a focus in Europe where the expansion of the industry in the United Kingdom and Luxembourg has been followed by detailed preparation of enabling pre-conditions in other countries including France, Ireland and Italy. 20:00 - 22:00 IFSB 10th Anniversary
