The 17th Annual World Islamic Banking Conference (WIBC 2010) has again this year confirmed its status as the world's pre-eminent gathering in the industry as leading financial institutions continue to join forces with WIBC 2010 to shape the future landscape of the Islamic finance industry.  Bahrain Islamic Bank (BisB) has consistently supported the WIBC brand for many years and we are delighted to welcome them back as platinum strategic partners again this year. Established in 1979 as the first Islamic commercial bank in the Kingdom of Bahrain, BisB has recorded steady growth and at the end of 2008 the shareholders' funds reached nearly BD 166 million Bahraini Dinars, with assets in excess of BD 874 million. With a record number of institutions partnering with the 17th Annual World Islamic Banking Conference, high-level discussions at this year's conference will be even more vital as key decision-makers in the global Islamic banking industry look to strengthen their market position, seek renewed growth paths, revisit risk management imperatives, as well as explore high-potential new markets that continue to emerge. |
