Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, 13 September 2024 – The Islamic Financial Services Board (IFSB) is pleased to announce the release of the Islamic Financial Services Industry (IFSI) Stability Report 2024. The IFSB’s annual flagship publication assesses the growth, development, and resilience of the global Islamic finance industry.
The IFSI Stability Report 2024 focuses on current market conditions, highlighting key developments and potential vulnerabilities that could impact financial stability.
