AAOIFI-World Bank Annual Islamic Banking and Finance Conference 2019, Edition 14

AAOIFI-World Bank Annual Islamic Banking and Finance Conference 2019, Edition 14

The global financial industry has witnessed fluctuations and changes post the financial crisis which
hit the world economies over a decade ago. The stability and growth of the industry has been affected
by various factors and many practitioners are of the view that there is a dire need for more effective
regulations, prudential rules, and stricter polices to safeguard the industry from another turmoil.
The recent developments in FinTech, including but not limited to cryptocurrencies, blockchain
technology, smart contracts, crowd-funding and artificial intelligence introduce new risks to the whole
industry. While the benefits of cost saving and efficiency appeal to many market players and new entrants
alike, these technologies require effective mechanisms to govern their applications.
While the Islamic finance industry is keen to keep pace with the recent developments, additional layers
of challenges and obstacles exist in terms of Shari’ah and governance. The question is how can the players
take the industry to the next level of development and growth without risking its stability in this dynamic
age?
In this regard, the 14th edition of AAOIFI-World Bank Conference sheds light on the need for regulations,
governance and standardization in the industry from different angles through the lenses of a host of
leading experts and scholars, representatives of central banks and regulatory and supervisory authorities,
and practitioners.

AAOIFI-World Bank 14th Annual Islamic Banking and Finance Conference is one of AAOIFI’s flagship conferences. It discusses this year, through six sessions, an array of issues and developments related to the broader Islamic finance industry, including applications pertaining to international Islamic finance products, services and practices as well as continuing innovation in Islamic finance to further support growth and expansion of the industry across the world and to maintain its authenticity and Shari’ah compliance. Participants at the conference comprise a large number of experts, scholars and senior representatives from central banks, regulatory authorities, financial institutions, accounting and auditing firms, legal firms, universities, higher education institutions, and the media, from the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe and North America.
