Global Islamic Finance Summit 2026
Are you active in Islamic Finance? Do you want to expand your business in this space?
As the industry surpasses USD 1 trillion in outstanding sukuk and USD 4-5 trillion in total Islamic finance assets, the conversation is shifting from growth to globalisation.
With Islamic finance moving towards becoming a mainstream asset class, market participants face new questions around standardisation, liquidity, secondary market depth and cross-border participations
The Global Islamic Finance Summit will discuss the practical realities of scaling Islamic finance from a specialised segment, offering a forward-looking forum to understanding where the industry is heading. It brings together Islamic banks, Shariah-compliant divisions of traditional banks, investment funds, takaful companies, regulatory bodies, sovereign wealth funds and governments. Here, they can network, explore investment opportunities, discuss product and regulatory developments, address industry challenges, share best practices and advance Islamic finance’s integration into global markets.

IFN Pakistan Forum 2026
2026-10-28 09:05 - 14:40 | JS Auditorium, IBA City Campus, Karachi, KARACHI, Pakistan
IFN Pakistan Forum 2026
Introduction to 2026
Pakistan is attempting something rarely succeeded by others – it wants its financial system to be fully Shariah compliant by 2028. If anyone were to succeed, it would likely be Pakistan – the government and regulators are moving full steam ahead to achieve this herculean task.

The State Bank of Pakistan and the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan are preparing the regulatory foundation for this major transformation while financial institutions are overhauling their business models. This has led to greater adoption of Islamic financial services nationwide across different segments.
The industry has also seen a steady rise in innovative offerings, with recent Sukuk issuances and a green energy fund highlighting the adaptability and forwardlooking vision of Pakistan’s Islamic finance industry
It is against this backdrop, that the 11th IFN Pakistan Forum, supported by the State Bank of Pakistan and other key regulators, will gather the country’s elite to discuss and debate the important questions facing the Republic’s transition to becoming fully Islamic within just two years.
