Rooted in a strong regulatory environment and a robust economy, Kuwait’s Islamic finance market has consistently ranked top 10-largest by assets, bolstered by its resilient banks, many of which have made international impressions. In fact, Islamic banks command approximately half of the country’s banking assets – a feat only a few have achieved.

Kuwait’s banking position is further solidified by ongoing mergers and digital transformation sweeping the industry. Moving beyond banking, the Kuwaiti government has also finally introduced the long anticipated (and much needed) law that could pave the way for the country’s first sovereign Sukuk. A government offering will put the State in a good position to establish a pricing curve, and more importantly, encourage others to follow in its footsteps.

Investors from the region and farther afield are paying close attention to Kuwait with some of the industry’s biggest names making the State its regional headquarters to tap investment flows. How should one position itself to best capture such opportunities? We hear from industry stalwarts who will convene in Kuwait City for the carefully curated high-level IFN Kuwait Dialogues.

Since REDmoney events’ inception in 2006, we’ve always been at the cutting edge, delivering timely events in a format suited best to each market and sector.

IFN Dialogues were first introduced in Luxembourg, in 2014. Since then, we’ve developed the concept and are delighted to bring this format to the more mature and developed markets, which prefer open discussion and debate over the more traditional forum format.

IFN Dialogues are a series of extended discussions among leading regulators and the industry’s elite, gathered to discuss and identify the sector’s most pressing issues as well as emerging opportunities.

Seated at a round table, with selected observers, each 10-person Dialogue will run for approximately two hours.

Except for the discussion format, every other aspect is identical to an IFN Forum: Breakfast and Lunch Networking, Booths, Delegates, Keynotes, Q&A and Post Event Reports
