THEME: “Green Finance and Islamic Finance Challenges”

Islamic Finance is a new scholarly discipline that is served by FIFC (and a Society) via organising conferences and publications. The five universities organising this year’s event are: Sunway University, Malaysia (the online host organiser) jointly with Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University & Istanbul Commerce University, Turkey (managing the Istanbul meeting on 8-9 October); La Trobe University, Australia; and Universitas Indonesia. CFA Society Malaysia and CFA Institute ARX are awarding two prizes for industry papers; and Emerald Publishing is awarding six certificates of excellence to winning author(s). Emerald Publishing Ltd. is associated with this event to advance scholarly endeavour. The consortium is proud to host its twelfth international FIFC live meeting for two days at Istanbul Commerce University and Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University.

We invite you to participate in the 12-th FIFC 2022 with the theme “Green Finance and Islamic Finance Challenges”. FIFC international series started with a very large financial grant from the Australian Research Council in 2005 to a research team led by Prof Mohamed Ariff then at the Monash University-Melbourne Australia to generate original research to add new authentic literature to the then emerging discipline of Islamic Finance. The first three meetings were held in Melbourne, Australia, after which subsequent meetings were hosted internationally at the Dubai International Finance Centre of United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Durham University, and Lancaster University in the U.K. as well as UUM, INCEIF & Sunway University, in 2021 with Hamad Bin Khalifa University of Qatar, Istanbul Commerce University, Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University and Istanbul University. This series of conferences has led to publications of nine peer-reviewed books (see page 5) on Islamic Banking, sukuk, financial institutions, wealth management, economics & banking risk published by reputed publishers Routledge, Edward Elgar, John Wiley, etc. as Islamic Finance series. Together with the best papers identified and published after each meeting as well as those published independently in journals over 11 years by paper presenters, there is a strong evidence of creating authentic literature by the FIFC network of eminent international scholars. It is likely, with your contributions, a book is planned to be published in 2024 on Green Finance.
