Islamic Finance news Forum Roadshow

KUALA LUMPUR: Islamic Finance news, the global Islamic finance news provider, will host a series of one-day forums in the world’s developing markets for Shariah finance beginning in March. Dubbed the “Islamic Finance news Forum Roadshow 2008”, the event aims to heighten awareness of Islamic finance, which continues to register impressive growth with almost every financial institution now offering Shariah compliant products and services. The average annual percentage increase in issuances and new products over the past few years will attest to this.

As part of its focus, the roadshow will highlight new markets that are currently underdeveloped in the Islamic finance world, paying special attention to those with international participation.

Organized by REDmoney Group, the forums will span nine cities across Asia, the Middle East, Europe and the US. The first in the series will kick off in Singapore on the 2nd March, followed by Brunei (16th April), Hong Kong (30th April), Jakarta (7th May), Karachi (21st May), Cairo (3rd June), London (8th October), New York (15th October) and Istanbul (28th October).

Attendance at the forums is free. For details, please contact:
