roadshow, islamic banking and finance

Fees: Complimentary

As a vibrant, financial center playing host to a growing number of Islamic banks from the Middle East as well as over 700 financial institutions, Singapore has ever been a major potential market for the Islamic finance industry. Its prime location between growing and recognized Islamic finance centers like Malaysia and Indonesia has been a factor in Singapore's emergence as a fast growing market.

Asia's leading fund management centre is always going to be a major potential market for the Islamic finance industry. The Monetary Authority of Singapore creating a city which welcomes Islamic finance via new legislation, has made Singapore a key market. Close connections with the Middle East and being sandwiched between the world's largest Islamic finance market (Malaysia) and the world's most populous Muslim market (Indonesia) is causing Singapore to emerge as a fast-growing market.

Amongst the topics to be discussed include:
- Islamic finance in Singapore: Laying the groundwork for long term growth
- Case study: Sabana REIT S$80 million convertible Sukuk Al Ijarah
- Singapore's role in facilitating cross border Islamic investments as a key to sustainable growth
- Opportunities and challenges in developing Islamic asset and fund management products in Singapore
- Case study: GAR US$490.95 million Sukuk Murabahah- 'Golden Sukuk'
- Facilitating Shariah compliant investment flows through innovative investment products and structures
