    St Regis Abu Dhabi Hotel Corniche, Nation Towers - 1st St - Al Bateen, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

    The AMF-IFSB-IMF organised a Conference on Soundness Indicators for Conventional and Islamic Finance on 1 – 2 March 2017 in Abu Dhabi, UAE. The Conference aimed to serve as a platform to bring together mid-to-senior level officials from the central banks and other regulatory and supervisory authorities (RSAs) in member jurisdictions of the IMF, IFSB, and AMF to discuss how the existing indicators for both conventional and Islamic financial systems can support financial stability through macroprudential policies, and to garnered feedback from the authorities on their experiences and challenges in the compilation of these indicators. The conference was also intended to broaden countries’ interest in compiling soundness indicators, encouraging non-reporting jurisdictions to participate and benefit from these projects. Almost 60 delegates from among the supervisory authorities and international organisations, academic institutions as well as financial market players attended this conference. Event Snapshots Programme - Event Session(s) Date Time Topics Day 1 01/03/2017 08:30 - 09:00 Registration 09:00 - 09:40 Opening and Welcoming Remarks 09:40 - 09:50 Keynote Address 09:50 - 10:15 Coffee Break & Networking 10:15 - 11:30 Session 1: IMF's Financial Soundness Indicators and Surveillance The session will focus on the IMF's Financial Soundness Indicators (FSIs), the ongoing work on the development, compilation, and use of FSIs, including various analytical frameworks for macroprudential and other analysis using FSIs. 11:30 - 13:00 Session 2: Soundness Indicators for the Islamic Financial Services Industry The session will focus on statistical needs of the Islamic financial services industry (IFSI). Data limitations have been a significant issue for the IFSI, which has hindered the accurate surveillance and assessment of its growth and stability. The IFSB's PSIFIs database project, which was developed in light of these needs, has achieved several key milestones, with further work planned ahead to build a comprehensive and consistent framework and infrastructure for Islamic Financial Statistics. 13:00 - 14:30 Lunch 14:30 - 16:00 Session 3: Interactive Session : Countries Experiences and Challenges in Compiling FSIs and PSIFIs The session will foster discussion and garner feedback from RSAs on their experiences, expectations as well as challenges in the compilation of quality and relevant data for soundness indicators. The session will address the following: What are the challenges in the compilation of FSIs and PSIFIs What are the areas where further progress is needed How does the Soundness Indicators contribute to surveillance and macro prudential and macroeconomic policy making 16:00 - 16:30 Networking and Side Meetings Day 2 02/03/2017 09:00 - 10:15 Session 4: Use of FSIs and PSIFIs The session will look at how the impact of macro-economic shocks can be assessed by utilising the FSIs and PSIFIs, which are sectoral indicators of financial health, in macro stress testing frameworks of RSAs. Analytical work has focused on how aggregate stress testing can be used in combination with FSIs and PSIFIs - which are typically the outputs or intermediate inputs of stress tests - to enhance their usefulness. 10:15 - 10:45 Coffee Break & Networking 10:45 - 12:15 Session 5: Concentration and Distribution Measures The session will discuss the need for augmenting the FSIs and possibly PSIFIs with relevant concentration and distribution measures (CDMs) to capture tail risks, concentrations, variations in distributions, and the volatility of indicators over time that simple averages can miss. As a starting point, the IMF pilot project launched in July 2014 by the Statistics Department to test the CDMs will be presented. 12:15 - 13:45 Lunch 13:45 - 15:15 Session 6: Panel Discussion Global Soundness Indicators: Future Direction The panel discussion will focus on what is next on the agenda for global soundness indicators, including: Areas for further expansion of data coverage, particularly in terms of addressing priority areas and data gaps; Enhancing the current indicators and compilation methodologies, Future role of soundness indicators in surveillance, core principle assessment and stress testing; Areas for collaboration between multilateral organisations to improve the quality and consistency of financial statistics, including strategies to meet the capacity-building needs to strengthen the institutional and statistical capacity for better understanding, compilation and use of the indicators. 15:15 - 15:30 Closing Remarks 15:30 - 16:00 Networking and Side Meetings

    IFSB-DFSA Joint Seminar: Liquidity Generating Innovations in Islamic Finance: The Role of Sukuk and Securitisation to Support New Financial Regulations

    April 30, 2017 @ 8:30 AM - 1:30 PM
    Salon 8, The Ritz Carlton, Dubai International Financial Centre, DIFC, Off Sheik Zayed Road Salon 8, The Ritz Carlton, Dubai International Financial Centre, DIFC, Off Sheik Zayed Road, Dubai, United Arab Emirates

    The half-day Seminar is designed to encourage broad interaction among the delegates to explore Shariah-compliant Islamic capital market instruments, in particular Sukuk and Securitisation of Assets, to generate liquidity in the global Islamic financial services industry. At a time of implementation of tightened financial regulations, this Seminar seeks to raise awareness on the readiness of Islamic financial institutions to meet the new requirements, particularly on liquidity, while also highlighting opportunities available to various bodies (e.g. regulatory authorities, capital market players, legal firms) to support the industry’s liquidity management needs. The opening remarks will be delivered by Mr. Ian Johnston, Chief Executive, Dubai Financial Services Authority and Mr. Zahid ur Rehman Khokher, Acting Secretary-General, IFSB The confirmed panelists are: Basheer Ahmad, Dubai Financial Services Authority, UAE Ismail Dadabhoy, Islamic International Financial Market (IIFM), Bahrain Dr. Mohamed Damak, S&P Global Ratings, UAE Debashis Dey, White & Case LLP, UAE Khalid Howladar, Acreditus, UAE Moosa Tariq Khoory, Dubai islamic Bank, UAE Gregory Man, Norton Rose Fulbright (Middle East) LLP, UAE Prof. Volker Nienhaus, University of Bochum Programme - Event Session(s) Date Time Topics Day 1 30/04/2017 08:30 - 09:30 Registration 09:30 - 09:45 Welcoming Remarks 09:45 - 10:50 Session 1: Panel Discussion: The Role of Shariah-Compliant Instruments in the Islamic Capital Market Liquidity risk management remains one of the most challenging issues within the IFSI as Shariah principles render most of the conventional capital and money market instruments and borrowing windows/facilities as not compliant. This is at a time when revised Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR) liquidity requirements under both Basel III & IFSB GN-6 are gradually being put into effect. There is a significant lack of Shariah-compliant high-quality-liquid-assets (HQLA) that meet LCR requirements and, in the past, many Islamic banks are known to have relied primarily on cash and central bank placements as their main liquidity management tools. Shariah-compliant profit-generating tradable instruments are also widely in demand for liquidity management purposes by other Islamic financial institutions, for instance, in the Takaful and the Islamic asset management industries. Given this, how can existing instruments in the Islamic capital market support liquidity management in the IFSI? What are the issues involving the use of commodity murabaha for managing liquidity? Is there a need to develop new ICM instruments based on other commodities such as crude oil? What efforts can be made by various bodies (e.g. regulatory authorities, multilateral organisations, capital market players, exchanges/bourses) to support liquidity management in the IFSI? What are the opportunities available in the ICM to address this gap in the market? 10:50 - 11:10 Networking Break 11:10 - 12:15 Session 2: Panel Discussion: Securitisation of Islamic Assets Amid a period of liquidity pressures in key IFSI jurisdictions, influenced by prolonged low energy prices and fiscal tightening, an option for Islamic financial institutions with long-term non-tradable assets is to explore securitisation. The global financial crisis tarnished the image of securitisation, to some extent, but building on the lessons learned from the crisis, Shariah-compliant structures could enable Islamic banks to more easily meet revised capital and liquidity regulations. For instance, structures could enable an efficient offloading of non-tradable assets from their balance sheets to improve capital ratios; monetise previously illiquid assets to enhance liquidity; and facilitate raising of cheaper funding at an asset level as opposed to the bank level. The key challenge is in structuring an Islamic financial securitised instrument that meets Shariah requirements and avoids the problems that contributed towards the crisis. 12:30 - 13:30 Networking Lunch

The IFSB Summit 2017 seeks to discuss the issues and challenges facing the IFSI in the present conditions with a view to finding opportunities to reinvigorate the growth momentum across the various sectors while solidifying resilience of the institutions offering Islamic financial services. These efforts need to be considered in conjunction with supportive policy reforms by the regulatory and supervisory authorities, particularly at this time of on-going implementation of post-financial crisis strengthened regulatory requirements. Prominent speakers from among regulatory and supervisory authorities, heads as well as senior financial sector supervisors and experts from international financial institutions will be invited to discuss the following sessions: 1.Islamic Finance: From Niche to Mainstream” The FinTech 2.Innovative Progression: Boon or Bane for Traditional Financial Institutions? 3.Implementing New Regulatory Reforms: Balancing between the Soundness and Competitiveness of IIFS”, 4.Islamic Capital Markets: Towards Greater Harmonisation in Cross Border Activities” 5.The Way Forward for Islamic Finance: Strengthening Value Proposition, Sustaining Resilience The Summit welcomes high-level participants from regulatory and supervisory authorities, institutions offering Islamic financial services, international organisations, multilateral development banks, academics, and think tanks among others.
