Convened under the official support of the Monetary Authority of Singapore, last year’s 2nd Annual World Islamic Banking Conference: Asia Summit (WIBC Asia 2011), which was held in Singapore on the 8th and 9th of June 2011, witnessed a record gathering of 469 international industry leaders representing over 240 leading international and regional organizations. This tremendous year-on-year growth and the overall success of WIBC Asia 2011 further confirmed the importance of this high-profile event in shaping the future of the Islamic banking and finance industry in Asia - and boosting linkages with other key international centres for Islamic finance.
To be held under the theme "Islamic Finance in Asia: Strengthening International Connectivity and Capturing Cross-Border Opportunities", WIBC Asia 2012 will build on this successful foundation as a large-scale international platform for enabling the further development of Islamic finance by bringing together industry leaders to explore and capitalize on exciting new opportunities in Asia and to foster new business partnerships with other key centres for Islamic finance.
With the support of the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), the 3rd Annual World Islamic Banking Conference:Asia Summit (WIBC Asia 2012) will be again held in Singapore on the 5th and 6th of June 2012 - and we are anticipating an even larger audience of industry leaders seeking to capitalize on the high-growth prospects for Islamic finance across Asia.
Leading industry players are of the opinion that Asia Pacific is becoming an increasingly attractive destination for investments that are Shari’ah compliant. To reap the full benefit of the region’s rapid expansion and robust development, there is a need to make further advances towards achieving global connectivity and deepening economic cooperation with other key centres for Islamic finance. In order to better facilitate cross-border relationships, more intensive international co-ordination of regulatory approaches and supervisory oversights is needed. WIBC Asia 2012 will play a key role in building bridges for capital flows between Asia and the Middle East.
