3rd international conference on islamic business organized by
riphah international university calls to promote
islamic finance to meet global economic challenges
The two day International Conference on Islamic Business (ICIB
2014) concluded in Islamabad on 11th February 2014 with a call on
Islamic financial institutions to go for partnership based and equity
related investments. Conference called for promoting Islamic
finance to address the global economic issues.
Addressing the inaugural session the Deputy Governor of State
Bank of Pakistan Mr. Saeed Ahmad said Islamic banking is getting
momentum not only in Pakistan but across the world. He said the
State Bank as a regulator in banking is playing an important role in
projecting Islamic banking and finance in the country.
Organized by Riphah Center of Islamic Business, a constituent
institute of Riphah International University in collaboration with
International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI) & State Bank of
Pakistan (SBP), it was attended by world renowned Islamic scholars
and economists from across the globe.
He lauded the efforts of Riphah International University for organizing series of such conferences giving an opportunity to researchers
and scholars to discuss the Islamic banking and finance in depth.
The theme of the conference was “Equity, Venture Capital, Corporate
Governance and Institutional Development for Equity Investments:
Prospects and Practices from Islamic Perspective”.
The key note speakers, paper presenters and participants of the
conference were unanimous that Islamic banking and finance have
developed tremendously over the periods of last four decades. They
were confident that the Islamic business and finance have the
potential to resolve the global economic problems for the greater
benefit to the masses.
They said Islamic finance is growing at an average speed of 20%
annually and is fast becoming a global phenomenon. It appears to
be ideal alternative to conventional Interest based finance, given its
core characteristics of Riba free risk sharing finance. Islamic financial
systems driven by the teachings of Quran and Sunnah have all the
necessary ingredients to serve better the global economic needs.
ICIB-2014 will help in creating the much needed awareness among
both academic and industry expertise.
The participants lauded the efforts of Riphah International University for organizing series of such conferences giving an opportunity
to researchers and scholars to discuss the Islamic banking and
finance in depth.
The papers presented in the conference addressed the issues on
Islamic Capital markets, Benchmarking, Equity financing, regulatory
framework and adoption of AAOIFI standards. This in written leads
to the collection and presentation of high quality research, appropriately justifying the theme of the conference asserting more focus
on risk sharing based financing for the future.
ICIB-2014 is particularly important as it plans to discuss the most
strategic instruments of investment and finance namely equity, fund
management, venture capital and institutions development and
governance in this regard.
This was the 3rd International Conference on Islamic Business
organized by Riphah International University. Earlier two
conferences were held in February 2011 and February 2012.
The Deputy Governor of State Bank of Pakistan Mr. Saeed Ahmad
