The Shari’a compliant investment banking arm of BBK will be the gold strategic partner of the conference which will take place on September 26 and 27 in Bahrain.

The conference will see key regulators, industry players and thought leaders engage in critical discussions that will focus on "achieving international scale and creating a vibrant Islamic financial market and re-invigorating the Islamic investments industry."

Jamal Hijres, CEO of Capinnova Investment Bank, said: “We are confident about the Islamic finance industry’s future and Bahrain will continue to be one of the leading financial centers in the region due to the efficient regulatory policies adopted by the sector. A platform such as this enables the top experts in the industry to come together and propel the industry forward.”
