The necessary public health measures have created the need for businesses to change their course of action and overall outlook for the future. 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:  URL:https://www.ifsb.org/event/eve00503-2nd-ifsb-ceos-forum-launch-of-the-islamic-financial-services-industry-stability-report-2021/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Awareness Programme ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.ifsb.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Group-1146.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210803 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210804 DTSTAMP:20260513T023017 CREATED:20210802T160036Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231227T090526Z UID:4531-1627948800-1628035199@www.ifsb.org 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: URL:https://www.ifsb.org/event/eve00502-joint-ifsb-cma-saudi-arabia-seminar-on-islamic-capital-market/ LOCATION:Kuala Lumpur\, Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia\, Malaysia CATEGORIES:Awareness Programme ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.ifsb.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Group-1146.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210701 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210702 DTSTAMP:20260513T023017 CREATED:20210630T160022Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231227T090619Z UID:4569-1625097600-1625183999@www.ifsb.org SUMMARY:Joint IFSB-AIFC Seminar on Islamic Capital Market DESCRIPTION:Programme Overview \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. \nMany market failures directly impact investors\, including asymmetry of information\, agency problems or detrimental conflicts of interest.

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 URL:https://www.ifsb.org/event/eve00489-12th-ifsb-public-lecture-on-financial-policy-and-stability/ LOCATION:Virtual CATEGORIES:Awareness Programme ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.ifsb.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Group-1146.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20201216 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20201217 DTSTAMP:20260513T023017 CREATED:20201215T160042Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231228T020812Z UID:4725-1608076800-1608163199@www.ifsb.org SUMMARY:21st Islamic Financial Stability Forum - The Implications of COVID-19 on the Stability of Islamic Financial Services Industry DESCRIPTION:The IFSF provides opportunity to renowned IFSI leaders\, decision markers and regulators to offer diverse perspectives as well as exchange ideas with industry stakeholders across different segments of the IFSI on related regulatory and policy initiatives and issues. This 21st IFSF involves a session of panel discussion that focuses on the COVID-19 related issues and their implication for the stability and resilience of the IFSI. Further\, it also attempts to have forward looking policy to prevent the potential and unprecedented crisis and industry responses facing the current and future crisis.\n\nThe COVID-19 pandemic no doubt exerts significant pressures on both the regulatory and supervisory authorities (RSAs) as well as supervised firms including the institutions offering Islamic financial services (IIFS). This is especially in terms of coping with the dynamics of the consequences of the pandemic depending on its effects and duration\, as well as adapting supervisory approaches and working practice respectively toward the apparent\, anticipated\, and obscure risks that may result due to contraction in the real economy to which the IFSI is highly exposed.\n\nIn addition\, it is likely that the need to urgently address the matters arising from the outbreak of COVID-19 may have subsumed attention to other wider issues relating to how the IFSI complements the achievement of the sustainable development goals including the social development. These developments will obviously put both the stability and resilience of the IFSI to test in the later part of 2020 and perhaps beyond. The specific issues relating to these broad concerns are amongst the focus of the panel discussion session of this 21st IFSF besides the prospect of Islamic finance taken into account the lesson learnt from the pandemic.\n\n \n\nEvent Snapshots\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nProgramme – Event Session(s)\n\n\n\nDate\nTime\nTopics\n\n\nDay 1\n16/12/2020\n14:30 – 14:40\nOpening Remarks\n\n\n14:40 – 16:00\nPanel Discussion on Assessing the effectiveness of regulatory and supervisory response to maintain financial stability upon the impact of COVID-19 and way ahead\n\nIn many jurisdictions\, recommendations have been offered on the use of regulatory buffers\, the need to preserve compliance with international standards\, and promote international and inter-organisational coordination. A few have also looked at these issues with focus on the specificities of Islamic financial services such as balance sheet components\, relatively smaller size of the IFSI in many jurisdictions\, and the state of the economy of countries where Islamic finance is practiced.\n\nWhile the effect of the first wave of the pandemic is starting to manifest\, especially as various fiscal\, monetary and other stimulus introduced by the various governments are being relaxed\, the impact of the second wave of COVID-19 is also likely to take effect in the coming months. Not only might there be a significant increase in credit risk due to financing delinquencies\, market liquidity might also be strained\, and asset markets might be disrupted. Moreover\, the indispensability of digitalising financial services due to social distancing as a new normal to flatten the curve of the pandemic also presents technology-related risks that might result from staff remote access to financial network as well as outsourcing of cloud services for instance to third-parties.\n\nAlso\, the abruptness and pervasiveness of the COVID-19 pandemic and the responses it elicited might also have impacted on the requisite attention needed on other wider issues including for instance\, climate change and financial inclusion which are also considered important to the IFSI. While these challenges affect the entire financial system in a jurisdiction\, their implications for the IFSI might also present peculiar effects given the specificities of Islamic finance.\n\n \nDiscussion Points:\n\n What is the effect of the prudential regulatory and supervisory policy response to COVID-19to maintain financial stability of IFSI in general?\n Are various stimulus packages introduced stimulating new spending and preventing job losses quickly enough as desired especially to the households and SMEs to which the Islamic banks are highly exposed?\n Are there any unexpected prudential consequences peculiar to the specificities of the IFSI that have emerged from the crisis and what are their implications?\n How can the Islamic banks deal with regulatory capital treatment of ECLs given that IFRS-9 did not specify such treatment for profit and loss sharing contract\, for instance?\n What are the peculiar impediments and risks to the digital transformation of the IFSI as necessitated by COVID-19? Are there legacy infrastructure\, human capital or capital budgeting constraints\, for instance?\n How effective is the coordination and communication among various regulators and supervisors of Islamic finance segments in response to COVID-19?\n What factors should the regulatory and supervisory authorities consider to be of utmost importance\, as countries where Islamic finance is practiced gradually ease the lockdown?\n What are the forward looking policy to be pursued taken into account the lesson learnt from pandemic?\n To what extent has the focus on the effect of the pandemic subsumed attention on other wider issues and initiatives that are pertinent to Islamic finance such as financial inclusion\, climate change\, etc?\n\n·\n\n\n16:00 – 16:15\nQ&A Session URL:https://www.ifsb.org/event/eve00473-21st-islamic-financial-stability-forum-the-implications-of-covid-19-on-the-stability-of-islamic-financial-services-industry/ LOCATION:Kuala Lumpur\, Kuala Lumpur\, Malaysia\, Malaysia CATEGORIES:Awareness Programme ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.ifsb.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Group-1146.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20201214 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20201215 DTSTAMP:20260513T023017 CREATED:20201213T160002Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231228T020819Z UID:4753-1607904000-1607990399@www.ifsb.org SUMMARY:Roundtable on Takaful DESCRIPTION:Event Snapshots URL:https://www.ifsb.org/event/eve00474-roundtable-on-takaful/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Awareness Programme ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.ifsb.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Group-1146.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20201130 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20201201 DTSTAMP:20260513T023017 CREATED:20201129T160042Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231228T010914Z UID:4801-1606694400-1606780799@www.ifsb.org SUMMARY:2nd Innovation Forum - Digital Transformation of Islamic Finance and other Innovative Solutions for Post-COVID-19 Recovery DESCRIPTION:The 2nd IFSB innovation forum sets the stage to enable the most creative minds in the Islamic financial services industry to showcase their pre-developed or conceptualised products\, instruments\, services\, mobile applications\, digital platforms and other offerings which exhibit an element of innovation and forward-looking creativity to deal with and respond to the new global reality\, particularly focusing on digital and business transformation and other innovative initiatives that will improve the resilience of the Islamic finance industry and accelerate its growth during the post-COVID-19 recovery.\n\nThis Forum\, which is conducted as a regular biennial series\, is an effort by the IFSB to bring together the Islamic finance stakeholders to focus on the promotion and development of innovative Islamic finance solutions\, vital to create the competitive edge needed to sustain the Islamic financial services industry going forward.

As part of policy responses to the pandemic\, regulators have cut interest rates significantly that have created further incentives for investors to search for higher yield\, leading to stretched valuations in some asset markets. Although accommodative conditions have helped contain near-term downside risks to the global growth\, they have also fuelled a further build-up of financial vulnerabilities.\n\nMany IFSB and IIFM members have had to take a range of extraordinary regulatory and supervisory measures to alleviate the impact of COVID-19 on financial stability in their jurisdictions and preserve the orderly functioning of financial markets. Capital market development becomes important in preserving the financial markets with the robust governance. In line with that development\, Islamic Capital Market (ICM) space is also considered by the regulators in the Islamic finance jurisdictions to function orderly in the financial market. Besides\, ICM is ensured to function as a good intermediary for the real sector development that can help to fuel the economic growth.\n\nAgainst that backdrop\, due to the pandemic\, the rapid technological development in ICM space is taking place to develop a more inclusive\, innovative and efficient capital market. Some government authorities have streamlined the ICM in their national agenda to deepen the Islamic financial market through innovative ICM product development by embracing technology particularly fintech throughdigitalization. Additionally\, while governments\, central banks\, regulators\, and international organizations have moved rapidly to address the immediate effects of COVID-19\, questions remain on how policies on ICM governance and digitalisation should continue to evolve to preserve well-functioned financial market. Hence\, this high level international seminar will be a timely platform for the stakeholders to discuss productively on how to address ICM development appropriately due to COVID-19 pandemic event and also rapid technological development.\n\nFor registration\, please click here.\n\n \n\nEvent Snapshots\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nProgramme – Event Session(s)\n\n\n\nDate\nTime\nTopics\n\n\nDay 1\n30/10/2020\n14:30 – 15:00\nOpening Remarks\n\n\n15:00 – 15:30\nKeynote Address\n\n\n15:30 – 17:00\nSession 1 – Panel Discussion: ICM Advancement as a Catalyst for Islamic Financial Market and Real Sector Development to increase the roles of ICM in the midst of pandemic\n\n Key highlights of the global macroeconomic environments and Islamic financial market current conditions as the ecosystem for ICM.\n Exploring the new benchmark rate for pricing the Islamic securities.\n Unlocking opportunities for ICM to advance with innovative products and regulations that supports Islamic financial market and real sector development with a robust governance.\n\n\n\n\n17:15 – 18:30\nSession 2 – Digitalisation of ICM and Market Code of Conducts\n\n Current state of the art technology of the ICM.\n The importance of embracing digitalization to spur the growth of ICM.\n Smart contract in advancing the Islamic capital market development. \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nDownloadable Document(s)\n\n Event Session(s) – PDF Format URL:https://www.ifsb.org/event/eve00464-ifsb-iifm-high-level-seminar-in-conjunction-with-indonesia-shariah-economic-festival-2020-accelerating-islamic-capital-market-development-and-digitalization/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Awareness Programme ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.ifsb.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/EVE00464-1-1-e1697613591511.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20201022 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20201023 DTSTAMP:20260513T023017 CREATED:20201021T160029Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231227T091109Z UID:4876-1603324800-1603411199@www.ifsb.org SUMMARY:14th IFSB-INCEIF Executive Programme - Measures to Create Resilience for the Islamic Finance Industry During and Post-Crisis: Regulator’s Perspectives DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19-induced global recession has been an unprecedented and unique crisis for the financial system\, as a completely exogenous crisis originating from outside of the financial system. The unique crisis also presented the need for unique policy responses which makes it pertinent to examine how the financial system has responded during the crisis to manage it\, and how it might move forward after the crisis to ensure economic and financial system recovery\, stability\, resilience and growth. It is also imperative to look at the gaps in the current regulatory system that become apparent during the crisis and which requires attention by standard-setters and regulators going forward.\n\n To identify the common gaps and shortcomings of the financial regulatory frameworks and approaches in preventing the financial industry from a crisis\n To discuss and elaborate policy measures and actions that need to be taken by regulators in order to maintain the financial system stability and create resilience of the financial industry during a crisis.\n To understand steps to be taken in sustaining both financial institutions and the economic development of the country post-crisis\n\n \n\nEvent Snapshots\n\n\n\n \n\nProgramme – Event Session(s)\n\n\n\nDate\nTime\nTopics\n\n\nDay 1\n22/10/2020\n14:30 – 14:40\nOpening Remarks\n\n\n14:40 – 15:25\nMeasures to Create Resilience for the Islamic Finance Industry During and Post-Crisis: Regulator’s PerspectivesAt the end of the session\, participants will be able to identify best practices and steps that need to be taken in enhancing regulatory frameworksfor crisis management in protecting the financial industry amid crisis.\n\n What enhancements in the regulatory frameworks may be considered for financial regulation to effectively address crises?\n Are the current regulatory regimes for crisis management adequately equipped to handle severe stress scenarios and non-economic sources of crisis?\n How adaptable is the regulatory framework to new or unique crises?\n Are there appropriate coordination and integrative mechanisms among regulators for crisis management?\n\n\n\n\n15:25 – 15:30\nBreak\n\n\n15:30 – 16:15\nSession 2: Regulators’ Responses to CrisisAt the end of the session\, the participants would be able to understand what policy measures and actions need to be taken by regulators in order to ensure economic and financial system stability and create resilience of the financial industry during a crisis.\n\n What are the regulatory policy measures and programs/actions adopted by the regulatory authorities to address Covid-19 impacts on the Islamic financial  sector?\n How have regulators dealt with crisis preparedness to ensure the safety-net of Islamic financial institutions?\n What are the priorities for regulatory authorities in managing the soundness of Islamic financial institutions during the crisis?\n Are there material differences between the Islamic banking sector and its conventional counterparts in dealing with and recovering from the crisis?\n\n\n\n\n16:15 – 16:20\nBreak\n\n\n16:20 – 17:05\nSession 3: Sustainability of Financial Institutions Post Crisis At the end of the session\, the participants would be able to understand steps to be taken in sustaining both financial institutions and the economic development of the country post crisis.\n\n What are the strategies for ensuring continued sustainability of Islamic financial institutions post crisis?\n What is the way forward for Islamic financial institutions post crisis in the midst of Banking 4.0?\n What are the required actions for Islamic financial institutions to channel back their liquidity to the real sector as part of the economic recovery measures of the country?\n What are the roles of Islamic social finance to sustain economic recovery in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nDownloadable Document(s)\n\n Event Session(s) – PDF Format URL:https://www.ifsb.org/event/eve00457-14th-ifsb-inceif-executive-programme-measures-to-create-resilience-for-the-islamic-finance-industry-during-and-post-crisis-regulators-perspectives/ LOCATION:Online CATEGORIES:Awareness Programme ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.ifsb.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/EVE00457-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20201020 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20201021 DTSTAMP:20260513T023017 CREATED:20201019T160058Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231227T091120Z UID:4886-1603152000-1603238399@www.ifsb.org SUMMARY:IFSB Executive Programme on ICM & Takaful - COVID-19 and Implications for the Islamic Capital Markets and Takaful Sectors DESCRIPTION:The COVID-19 crisis has resulted in an extraordinary supply and demand shock to the global economy with far reaching consequences\, including implications for the financial markets and insurance sectors. The uncertainties resulting from COVID-19 are also likely to remain for the foreseeable future.\n\nThe initial impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the capital markets was acute. It resulted in sharp price adjustments across both the fixed-income and equity markets\, capital outflows and a liquidity crunch across global financial markets. As the pandemic continues to evolve\, it also presents both immediate and future challenges for the rest of the financial system\, including takaful and retakaful institutions\, among others.\n\nWhile the policy responses to address the immediate effects of COVID-19 on the financial system has been swift\, further assessment is needed on how policies should continue to evolve to preserve financial stability and address the potential medium- and longer-term effects of COVID-19\, and in particular\, whether there are any Islamic finance specific risks\, challenges or opportunities for players in the Islamic capital markets and the takaful sector. This executive programme aims to try and answer some of these crucial questions and to encourage discussion\, debate and sharing of country challenges\, experiences and policy approaches\, focusing particularly on the Islamic capital market and takaful sectors.\n\nThe objectives of this programme are:\n\n to discuss the impact of COVID-19 on the Islamic capital markets and its implications for the stability and resilience of the financial system\n to discuss the implications of COVID-19 for takaful institutions and identify specific risk factors that might arise in relation to specificities of Islamic finance\n to discuss the areas where regulatory responses may be needed to address the impact of COVID-19 to ensure the resilience and stability of takaful institutions and Islamic capital markets.\n\n \n*****This Executive Programme is free for all categories of IFSB members.

According to Findex\, 72% of Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) countries’ population is unbanked\, which is considerably higher than the global average.\n\nConsidering that financial inclusion is necessary to rebuild economies after COVID-19\, it is crucial that there is greater access and liquidity support to financial services. Although the industry has experienced substantial growth over the past two decades\, there is a new potential to substantially expand access to Islamic financial services through the use of innovative\, FinTech-based solutions and even including the Islamic social finance.\n\nAgainst this background\, the session of the Sustainable and Inclusive Finance Forum will explore the use of Islamic finance schemes\, instruments and regulations to support financial inclusion\, thereby contributing to the fight against poverty and fostering shared prosperity including the impacts of Covid-19 to the less developed economies. It will explore policy\, regulatory and institutional elements required for the sustainable use of Islamic finance to expand access to financial services.\n\nThe Webinar will be delivered in collaboration with the World Bank.\n\nClick here to register.\n\n \n\nEvent Snapshots\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nProgramme – Event Session(s)\n\n\n\nDate\nTime\nTopics\n\n\nDay 1\n07/10/2020\n09:00 – 09:25\nOpening Remarks\n\n\n09:25 – 09:35\nKeynote Address and Launching of the World Bank Reports on Islamic Finance: Islamic Finance and Financial Inclusion in Malaysia\n\n\n09:35 – 11:00\nLeveraging Islamic Fintech to Improve Financial Inclusion\n\n Islamic finance: A catalyst for Financial Inclusion\n Maximising Islamic Fintech for Financial Inclusion\n The Role of Regulators in Strengthening Financial Inclusion\n\n\n\n\n11:25 – 11:30\nQ&A Session\n\n\n\n \n\nDownloadable Document(s)\n\n Event Session(s) – PDF Format URL:https://www.ifsb.org/event/eve00461-wb-ifsb-seminar-on-financial-inclusion/ CATEGORIES:Awareness Programme ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.ifsb.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Group-1146.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200826 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200827 DTSTAMP:20260513T023017 CREATED:20231016T225950Z LAST-MODIFIED:20231227T085235Z UID:3831-1598400000-1598486399@www.ifsb.org SUMMARY:IFSB CEO’s Forum DESCRIPTION:The unprecedented contractions experienced by economies due to measures implemented to contain the COVID-19 pandemic are likely to also have implications for the Islamic financial services industry (IFSI).

The measures taken to contain the pandemic has triggered a major global downturn\, but the full impact and scale of risks facing the financial system remain uncertain as the situation evolves.\n\nAlong with the rest of the financial system\, Institutions offering Islamic Financial Services (IIFS) are likely to face both immediate and future challenges. It raises number of pertinent questions for regulators supervising IIFS and for IIFS themselves regarding whether there are any Islamic finance specificities that create specific implications\, risks or challenges which require a different regulatory or supervisory approach from that of conventional financial institutions. Additionally\, while governments\, central banks\, regulators\, and international organisations have moved rapidly to address the immediate effects of COVID-19\, questions remain on how policy should continue to evolve to preserve financial stability and address the potential medium and longer term effects of COVID-19 on the financial system\, and what these might be for the IIFS. This executive programme aims to try and answer some of these crucial questions and to encourage discussion\, debate and sharing of country challenges\, experiences and policy approaches.\n\n• To discuss the impact of COVID-19 on the global financial system and global economy and its implications for the overall risk environment of IIFS\n• To discuss the implications of COVID-19 for IIFS and identify specific risk factors that might arise in relation to specificities of IIFS\n• To discuss the areas where regulatory responses may be needed to address the impact of COVID-19 to ensure the resilience and stability of IIFS and the various approaches that are being taken by different regulators\n\nThe details of the Executive Programe are as follow:\n\nDate: 7 July 2020\n\nTime: 14:30 – 17:50 (Malaysia time)\n\nVenue: via web conference/webinar\n*****This Executive Programme is free for all categories of IFSB members. For Non-Members a participation fee of USD100 will be applicable*****   \nFor registration and enquiries\, please email Mrs. Ida Shafinaz Ab.
