Mapping the Next Phase of Development
for Islamic Finance at WIBC 2009
As the global financial industry cautiously navigates its way out of rough waters, the 16th Annual World Islamic Banking Conference (WIBC 2009) provides a high-profile platform for international industry leaders to chart the next phase of development for Islamic finance. To be held on the 6, 7 & 8 December 2009 in Bahrain, the theme of the 16th Annual WIBC focuses on New Strategies for New Economic Realities and reflects the fresh outlook that the leading institutions will have to adopt as they compete in an increasingly challenging landscape.
