7th IFSB-INCEIF Executive Forum – Building Momentum for Islamic Liquidity Management

Training Rooms 3.3 & 3.4, Sasana Kijang, Bank Negara Malaysia KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia

The recent Global Financial Crisis (GFC) stresses the importance of liquidity management in international financial markets during both stress and normal conditions. A robust and stable liquidity management framework would be one of the key dynamics in shaping the future growth of the Islamic finance industry, especially on how such framework addresses the current outstanding issues related to liquidity management, at both the practical and regulatory levels. The IFSB-INCEIF Executive Forum, in its 7th edition, addresses this important issue with the theme “Building Momentum for Islamic Liquidity Management”. The Executive Forum aims to provide new insights on the interactions between internal liquidity and external funds (e.g. profit-sharing investment accounts, Sukūk, etc.) as well as show how these interactions affect both the way an IIFS contemplates its financial decisions, and how regulators formulate appropriate liquidity risk management policies. This Executive Forum aims to bring together global leaders from among the market players, regulators as well as the academic domain to discuss a wide spectrum of liquidity management issues. The speakers will provide their expertise — through panel sessions, discussion groups, and practical case studies — on the ongoing opportunities and challenges in the existing infrastructure for managing liquidity risks in Islamic finance. The Executive Forum will also include deliberations on the new developments in the regulatory landscape, with a special focus on the emerging liquidity risk management requirements, such as the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR), in addition to how these requirements can encompass Islamic finance specificities. Furthermore, the participants will also be exposed to the liquidity risk management infrastructure in Islamic finance, especially to Sharī`ah-complaint High Quality Liquid Assets (HQLA), Sharī`ah-compliant Deposit Insurance and Lender of Last Resort (LOLR). A key feature of the Executive Forum is a Panel Discussion where participants have the opportunity to share information and experiences from both supervisors and market players on the challenges and strategies for developing an effective Islamic liquidity management framework.
