SUMMARY:15th IFSB-INCEIF/ISRA Consulting Executive Programme: Integrating Islamic Finance into Sustainable Finance: The Role of Regulators and Market Players (Islamic Capital Market Sector)
DESCRIPTION:Theme: Integrating Islamic Finance into Sustainable Finance: The Role of Regulators and Market Players (Islamic Capital Market Sector)\n\nTransitioning to sustainable finance and economies including mitigating climate change are amongst major issues that are currently at the forefront of the global consciousness. In recent years\, there has been an increase in the efforts to promote more sustainable finance development\, both within the public and the private sectors\, including through Islamic finance sectors. Islamic finance should have strategic roles and contributions to take part in managing the impact of climate change and environmental\, governance or social risks. Accordingly\, Islamic finance activities designed to be\, or labelled as\, sustainable have increased particularly the ICM sector in recent years.\n\nSome jurisdictions are taking policy or regulatory steps to enhance the role of the Islamic financial system in the transition towards sustainable finance development. There has also been increasing recognition of climate-related risks as a source of financial risk that can affect not only specific firms or sectors but more broadly the stability of the financial system. This has increased the focus by prudential regulators on these issues within their mandate of ensuring the resiliency of the financial system to material risks.\n\n \n\nThis executive program intends to discuss and elaborate the roles of regulators and market players in supporting sustainable finance particularly through the Islamic capital market (i.e. Islamic green sukuk and social sukuk).

There have been many discourses that have discussed the feasibility and nature of cryptocurrencies and its enabler technology. The outcome has been either to support it due to its many features that are unique compared to traditional fiat money\, or to go against it\, as it still contains elements that are heavily unregulated and may lead to a multitude of issues in terms of loss\, involvement of illegal activities\, and high volatility. This webinar seeks to thoroughly explain and deliberate the cryptocurrency specifically and blockchain in general from the angle of Shari’ah and how it is affecting the Islamic finance industry. As a result of the ever-growing interest on this topic\, regulators are also expected to have certain measures in place as a much-needed response. \nProgramme Approach: \nThe programme will rely on Interactive online discussions through the provision of direct engagement with the subject matter experts and sharing of country and organisational experiences. The subject experts will first present their specific areas of discourse and this will then be followed by a Q and A session involving the moderator and audience. \nAgenda: \n\n\n\n\nBahrain Time\nSession\n\n\n11.00a.m. – 11.10a.m.\nModerator Opening\n\nMr. Mujtaba Khalid (Head of Center for Islamic Finance – BIBF)\n\n \n\n\n11.10a.m. – 11.20a.m.\nOpening remarks\n\nDr. Bello Lawal Danbatta (Secretary-General – IFSB)\n\n \n\n\n11.20a.m. – 12.20p.m.\nMain Discussion\n\nExamining cryptocurrency and blockchain from a Shariah perspective\n\nSubject Matter Expert 1: Dr. Ahmad Asad\, Principal Lecturer\, BIBF\n\nSubject Matter Expert 2: Dr. Shaban Burwari\, Shariah Advisor\, IFSB\n\n\n12.20p.m. – 1.00p.m.\nQuestion & Answer session led by moderator\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:13th Public Lecture on Sustainability and Cyber Resilience
DESCRIPTION:  Programme – Event Session(s)\n\n\nDate\nTime\nTopics\n\n\nDay 1\n08/12/2021\n16:00 – 16:30\n\nRegistration \n \n\n\n\n16:30 – 16:45\n\nOpening Remarks \nDr. Bello Lawal Danbatta\, Secretary-General\, IFSB \n\n\n\n16:45 – 17:00\n\nWelcoming Remarks \nH.E. Khaled Mohamed Balama\, Governor\, CBUAE \n\n\n\n17:00 – 17:10\n\nSpecial Address \n H.E. Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair\, Chairman\, UBF \n\n\n\n17:10 – 17:45\n\nPublic Lecture 1: Islamic Finance and Sustainability: Synergies\, Strategies and Risks \nAs the global economy gradually moves towards adopting a more sustainable development model\, the Islamic finance industry has tremendous opportunities to meet the expanding needs in this segment. The principles of Islamic finance naturally form substantial synergies with the global sustainability agenda. While there have been several national-led as well as market-driven initiatives for issuance of sustainable Islamic financial products\, a more substantial and wider transformation towards sustainable Islamic finance and related innovation requires collective action by policy-makers and regulators\, market players and international bodies to ensure alignment and effectiveness of policies and strategies. Further growth in the supply of sustainable Islamic finance products also requires addressing some of the current gaps including information gaps to ensure the alignment of incentives\, results measurement and effective risk management. The session aims to discuss the potential strategies and opportunities to harness the synergies between Islamic finance and sustainable development and important policy considerations. \n\n\n\n17:45 – 18:15\n\nBreak \n\n\n\n18:15 – 18:25\n\nKeynote \nH.E. Dr. Reza Baqir\, Governor\, SBP \n\n\n\n18:25 – 19:00\n\nPublic Lecture 2: Cybersecurity in the Era of Digitalisation: Regulatory Perspective \nDigitalisation of financial services has emerged as a powerful disruptor that is rapidly reshaping the real economy and the financial sector on a global scale. While digitalisation of Islamic finance also has the potential to deliver environmental outcomes and support a transformation in financing for sustainable development\, the impact of digital finance will depend on policy and regulatory measures that\, among other things\, minimise any potential negative and unintended consequences such as cyber security risks. Hence\, cyber security threats have captured prominent regulatory attention\, especially financial stability implications and increased systemic risks due to financial interlinkages. While cyber risk is not unique to Islamic finance\, it is an equally significant concern that presents new regulatory and supervisory challenges. The session aims to discuss critical considerations and gaps from a regulatory perspective\, to improve cybersecurity as more Islamic financial institutions embrace digitalisation of their products and services. \n\n\n\n19:00 – 21:00\nDinner

Beyond the immediate economic implications\, COVID-19 is creating new opportunities by forcing the IFSI to adapt to rapidly evolving market conditions and speeding up the pace of emerging trends in socially responsible investing\, sustainability\, and digitalization to mitigate the impact of the outbreak.\n\nThe Covid-19 outbreak has led to growth in the IFSI in some areas by accelerating trends such as socially responsible investing and a stronger focus on social sustainability. The impact of Covid-19 presented a window of opportunity for the Islamic capital market sector\, particularly regarding the issuance of sovereign sukuk as a part of the government’s strategy to diversify its funding for financing fiscal deficit and to meet the fiscal requirements for combating Covid-19.\n\nIn the business sectors\, some IFSI have started to convert their ongoing business models into a more digital and virtual based businesses. Digital payment\, monitoring\, recording\, reporting and even the Islamic financial institution and instrument themselves have become fully digital (virtual) which are now commonly called as digital banking\, e-Sukuk\, etc. in line with the issue of digital currency.\n\nObjectives:\n\n 	To discuss the recovery initiatives within the Global Islamic Financial Services Industry\n 	To discuss the limitation for IFSI and identify specific risk factors that might arise in relation to specificities of Islamic Finance\n 	To provide a better understanding on the challenges faced by the industry\, particularly related to Cybersecurity Risk due to accelerated digitalisation and liquidity risk management.\n\nRegister Now\n\n \n\nEvent Snapshots:

SUMMARY:Joint IFSB-CMA Saudi Arabia Seminar On Islamic Capital Market
DESCRIPTION:Type: Seminar\n\nTarget Audience: Senior Management from Regulatory and Supervisory Authorities and Market Players\n\nDuration: 4 hours\n\nProgram Overview:\n\nThe pandemic has unexceptionally affected all economic and financial sectors globally\, including the Islamic financial services sector. Given the ongoing uncertainty created by the pandemic and the potential risks it poses for economic growth and financial stability\, protecting investors against possible market failures\, as well as enhancing transparency and information available to investors are essential in regaining investor trust and confidence in the Islamic capital markets\, which is in turn\, crucial to prevent any deterioration of market conditions.\n\nMany market failures directly impact investors\, including asymmetry of information\, agency problems or detrimental conflicts of interest. They may affect the functioning of the market and contribute to the perception that capital markets are an unsafe environment. Thus\, it is imperative for policy makers and regulators to address these issues through regulatory intervention\, in order to rebuild investor confidence during volatile market conditions and to effectively address possible market failures that could impact the level of protection of investors. Better protected investors are also likely to make more informed investment decisions and be less prone to react irrationally to market events or follow “herd behavior” which are disruptive for financial markets and the economy as a whole. Thus\, transparency and investor protection can be seen as factors that ultimately contribute to the stability of financial markets.\n\nThe seminar therefore aims to increase awareness of the importance of investor protection and transparency in fostering investor confidence and ultimately the sustainability and stability of the Islamic capital markets and to provide a platform to discuss critical policy issues arising in the context of the current global financial environment.\n\nObjectives\n\nThe seminars’ main objectives are to:\n\n 	Address Islamic finance-specific issues in relation to investor protection.\n 	Discuss best practices for investor protection in the ICM and the elements of a robust investor protection framework.\n 	Highlight best practices and guidelines on disclosure requirements for ICM products\, specifically for ṣukūk and Islamic collective investment schemes (ICIS).\n 	Identify issues arising from the current global environment\, and share policy actions taken by various regulators and policy makers to address emerging challenges and issues.\n\nProgramme Outcome\n\nAt the end of the seminar\, participants will have a comprehensive understanding on investor protection and disclosure requirements to strengthen investor confidence and improve financial market performance. The seminar will be structured around guidance from IFSB standards\, as well as experiences from the industry. Participants will be able to takeaway insights on the various policy approaches and best practices in different jurisdictions to address new and emerging issues related to investor protection and transparency in light of the new global realities.\n\nProgramme Approach\n\nDiscussion on the best market practices and regulatory challenges\nInteractive discussions on a wide array of issues on investor protection and transparency in the ICM\n\nEvent Snapshots:

SUMMARY:12th IFSB Public Lecture on Financial Policy and Stability
DESCRIPTION:Programme – Event Session(s)\n\n\n\nDate\nTime\nTopics\n\n\nDay 1\n25/05/2021\n09:30 – 09:45\nWelcoming and Opening Remarks\n Dr. Bello Lawal Danbatta\, Secretary-General\, IFSB \n\n\n\n09:45 – 10:30\nPublic Lecture 1: Current and Post-Pandemic Financial System Stability Challenges: The Way Ahead\nSpeaker: Dr. Tobias Adrian\, Financial Counsellor and Director of the Monetary and Capital Markets Department – International Monetary Fund \n\n\n\nThe COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in economic and financial downturns and market turmoil affecting almost every country around the globe in 2020. To alleviate economic pressures\, governments adopted various economic and financial policy measures such as tax relief\, postponing loan/financing interest/profit payments\, special liquidity to labour-intensive sectors (SMEs\, etc) and easing macroprudential and microprudential indicators to maintain financial system stability. The effects of the pandemic seem to continue into 2021\, as some countries struggle while others show slight indications of economic recovery. Overall\, the majority of countries are continuing their efforts to stimulate the economy and contain the pandemic\, through the rollout of vaccination programmes\, strict health protocols and increasing health facilities. Fortunately\, financial system stability as shown by the improved financial market activities\, banking and nonbank performance and investors’ investment activities indicates positive recovery. Amongst the lessons learnt from the pandemic are integrated and coordinated economic and financial policies among authorities; digital transformation and financial technology; more social\, health and welfare-oriented economic and financial activities. Banks and financial systems as a whole are witnessing transformation to become more agile and adaptive towards sustainable practices. Some issues to be stressed and elaborated on are:\n\n(1) How much has the pandemic transformed the current economic and financial system?\n(2) How to maintain economic and financial system stability and what policies are more likely to remain in the post-pandemic era and beyond?\n(3) What are shifting paradigms occurred or need to occur to maintain economic and financial stability?\n(4) What will be the roles of authorities in post-pandemic era and beyond?\n\n\n\n\n10:30 – 11:00\nBreak\n\n\n11:00 – 11:45\nPublic Lecture 2: Islamic Financial System Stability: Post Pandemic Impacts and Way Ahead\n\nSpeakers:\nDr. Zamir Iqbal\, Vice President\, Finance\, Islamic Development Bank\nProfessor Dr. Asad Zaman\, Director General International\, Institute of Islamic Economics. International Islamic University Islamabad\n\n\nEconomic and financial pressures and instability resulting from the pandemic have transformed economic and financial transactions. Electronic contracts and financial agreements\, electronic transactions (e-banking\, e-sukuk\, e-money\, etc)\, financial technology (less physical interactions) and digital currencies have seen wider use in the business and financial markets.    \n \n\nDue to massive development of start-up companies\, various social media and digital-based transactions have created new ways of collecting\, investing and managing both commercial and social funds. Securities crowdfunding\, e-payment of zakah\, waqf\, including their distribution via virtual platforms\, may lead to potential Sharīʻah risks. These phenomena vividly impact the global Islamic financial system stability and can lead to the transformation of Islamic finance system to face post pandemic challenges and be more agile\, adaptive and innovative.  \n\n\nLately\, Islamic finance industry (banks\, capital market\, takaful) has changed its business model as well as technological adoption in which there are techno-based Islamic finance applications\, more social responsive Islamic finance transactions and including eco-friendly Islamic investment applied during and possibly post pandemic condition.    \n\n\nSome areas to be discussed:\n(1) How is the global Islamic financial (IF) system stability during and post pandemic? Is the policy flexibility in the pandemic caused the resilience of IF or \n(2) What are exit policies currently applied in most of jurisdictions to sustain the IF stability?  \n(3) What are lessons learnt from the pandemic to be responded and incorporated in the current IF practices?\n(4) What kinds of transformation required by IF to cope with the future economic and finance challenges?    \n\n\n11:45 – 11:45\nEnd of the Public Lecture
