Barwa Bank acting CEO Khalid Yousef al-Subeai receives a token of appreciation during the 10th International Conference on Islamic Economics and Finance.
Barwa Bank has supported the recently held 10th International Conference on Islamic Economics and Finance as Gold sponsor, the bank said in a statement.
The conference was aimed at collecting research in the field of Islamic economics, banking, and finance, and focused on matters related to development, equity, and consistency.
“Part of Barwa Bank’s strategy is to continuously take part in events and activities that sustain, develop, and benefit Islamic finance, especially since this sector is undergoing remarkable growth regionally and internationally,” the statement further said.
The two-day conference provided an ideal setting for policymakers, academics, researchers, graduate students, and practitioners to talk about various important issues in Islamic banking.
The conference addressed issues such as the instruments of monetary policy to support liquidity needs; regulatory, economic, and educational reforms; Islamic social finance and entrepreneurship; zakah, waqf, and microfinance; as well as economic analysis of the sector.
Other topics also addressed issues related to education, human capital, and research.
“Participation in this event was an indication of Barwa Bank’s efforts in supporting economic growth and the global initiatives that handle numerous elements of Shariah-compliant banking,” the bank added.
