Through its support, ABG aims to establish the symposium as an authoritative resource and a beacon for innovation in Islamic finance.
Shaikh Abdullah Saleh Kamel, Chairman of ABG and the Board of Trustees of Al-Baraka Islamic Economics Symposium, is set to spearhead ABG’s executive management team at the event. His involvement will encompass comprehensive discussions on an array of banking topics, whilst also evaluating the latest advancements in the field of Islamic banking and finance.
Shaikh Kamel has articulated his pride and gratitude in acknowledging that the symposium has evolved into a fundamental scientific cornerstone for research and Shariah rulings (fatwas). It has earned global recognition amongst Islamic banks and financial institutions, a feat which he attributes to ABG’s sustained efforts in fortifying the sector. He emphasizes that ABG’s endeavors have been instrumental in laying the groundwork for expansive growth and enduring sustainability in Islamic finance.
