UK - EVENTS - Islamic Finance: The Substantive Debate Featuring an in-depth Sharia panel discussion - April 12, 2011

April 12 2011 Jumeirah Carlton Tower, Knightsbridge, London

Globe Law and Business is delighted to host the inaugural conference "Islamic Finance: The Substantive Debate" on April 12 2011 in London.


Our detailed market research has revealed that while there are established conferences in Islamic finance, what is missing is an in-depth and meaningful debate on the issues that really matter to practitioners working in Islamic finance.

• Has Islamic finance become mired in form over substance?
• Does Islamic finance need to be more inclusive for like-minded ethical communities and constituents?
• And what are the cutting-edge developments in retail and wholesale product development?

We are honoured to be hosting four of the world's leading Sharia scholars - Dr Bakar, Dr Mohamad Akram Laldin, Sh Yusuf Delorenzo and Sh Dr Elgari - who will get together in one room for a detailed and in-depth panel discussion, chaired by Rahail Ali from Hogan Lovells, on issues including Sharia product innovations, regulation and Islamic finance industry development, including alignment with the ethical finance movement.

The afternoon sessions will continue the debate with a focus by leading experts - including moderator Moinuddin Malim, CEO at Mashreq Al Islami - on retail and wholesale product development. Issues featured include, on the retail side, the adoption of a Sharia compliance industry certification and the cost effectiveness of Sharia-compliant mortgages; and on the wholesale side, investment products and development of the sukuk market, the creation of an Islamic money market, Islamic asset management and Islamic derivatives.

This conference is uniquely distinguished from other events in the field by featuring a four-hour debate with the world's pre-eminent scholars, focusing on the issues that really matter to practitioners in Islamic finance.
