Islamic Finance to lead in financial services industry

The global financial meltdown has presented an unprecedented opportunity for Islamic Finance to establish itself as a truly global leader in the financial services industry, thereby realising its full, unique potential. The speakers at Islamic Finance seminar arranged by ACCA Pakistan expressed these views. They said in marketing terms, a large gap exists between the perception and the reality of its current brand attributes. The workshop facilitators Dr Afra Sajjad, Head of Education and Policy Development, ACCA Pakistan and Mr Aziz who represents ACCA at the Federation of European Accountants (FEE) Task Force on XBRL and UKTI Accounting Sub-group on Islamic Finance led the discussion deliberating upon the success of Islamic Finance in current economic scenario and ways to bridge this gap. staff report
