The financial inclusion agenda, the emergence of disruptive financial technology startups (FinTech), the lack of regulatory technology (RegTech), and emerging potential cyber security risks are placing increasing pressure on the industry – both regulators and Islamic financial institutions.
While Islamic finance has not proven exempt from these emerging risks and disruptions, there is a high degree of opportunity and potential for Islamic finance stakeholders to leverage on the technology to promote greater engagement, transparency, and impact in their respective market segments.
The session will feature different Islamic finance stakeholders from around the world, who will share their insights and thoughts on how Islamic financial institutions can navigate through these challenges.
