Islamic finance has emerged as the fastest growing industry in the financial services market in the Middle East and is also steadily expanding in non-Islamic countries.
It is estimated that transactions within Islamic banking over the next five years, will cross over US$300 billion with a 15% annual growth rate.
Islamic banking products are fundamentally different from those of conventional banks. The absence of interest rates is the most important differentiating aspect; this in itself makes the structuring of Islamic products a complex task. The explosive growth of the Islamic banking industry has led to a higher demand for qualified Islamic finance professionals.
Understanding the growing need of Islamic bankers, IIR will be running an intensive five day Fundamentals Of Islamic Finance And Banking course.
This course offers a clear and understandable examination of this dynamic area of finance, and is essential for bankers, lawyers, institutional investors and corporate executives. It will help you to fully comprehend the fundamental religious principles underlying modern Islamic finance and banking. It will provide you with the opportunity to understand the religious principles and their interpretation, as well as the diversity and adaptive mechanisms of Islam.
This course will be highly interactive and intensive; as it will provide you with the essential tools, concepts and principles of understanding Islamic banking and finance, necessary to progress in the industry.
This course will benefit those who work for Islamic financial institutions, or those who are establishing Islamic finance and Shari’ah compliant products. Also, those involved in conventional banks, treasury departments in conventional financial institutions, or those who may be exposed to Islamic products in their job assignments.
