THE International Conference on Islamic Finance is set to become an annual event due to its success, said Dr Mohamed Sharif Bashir, dean of Faculty Business and Management Science at the Sultan Sharif Ali Islamic University (Unissa) and chairman of the conference’s organising committee.Dr Mohamed said the conference has led to a number of recommendations for future courses of action among the Islamic banking and financial institutions.

“The important ones include the decision to form a professional (body) to offer more education and training opportunities in the hopes of reducing the gap between workforce demand and supply while enhancing syariah understanding to resolve contemporary problems, in addition to calling on policymakers and regulatory bodies to support by providing the infrastructure needed for development of the Islamic financial institutions,” he said.
