The building blocks to position Qatar as a regional Islamic finance hub are in place: forward-looking national policies, assertive market participants and deep demand.
Qatar’s Islamic finance sector has evolved significantly with regulatory changes and new initiatives, and is poised to expand further, driven by innovative financial products. Armed with its Third Financial Sector Strategic Plan and Third National Development Strategy, the state is ready to take its Islamic finance industry to the next level riding on its strong economic momentum and driven by new growth areas such as ESG and technology.
While the country has made some impressive strides in recent years, questions on how it should optimize its prospects remain.
Returning to Doha with the illustrious IFN Dialogues series, we will tackle the big questions and chart a way forward for Qatar with the help of regulators, leading market experts and industry practitioners, with the aim of harnessing the State’s latent potential across different sectors of the Islamic finance economy, from banking to Takaful and capital markets as well as fintech.
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
