Islamic finance has significantly surpassed its niche industry status to become an established component of the financial system. The fact that over recent years Islamic financial institutions have grown at a faster pace than their conventional peers confirms the increasing demand for Shari'ah-compliant financial products and services. However, with the unprecedented growth of major economies in the Middle East, the region is increasingly becoming a more competitive and sophisticated market and the key players are targeting a greater share of the exciting growth potential for Islamic finance.
Given the recent developments in the regional Islamic finance industry, the 1st Annual Middle East Islamic Finance & Investment Conference (MEIFIC 2011), to be held on the 12th & 13th of April 2011 at Dusit Thani Dubai, will set the stage for key players in the region to "successfully adapt to new market realities in the Middle East."
