16/05/2015 11:58 AST

The Islamic Financial Services Board (IFSB) and the INCEIF - The Global University of Islamic Finance are organising the seventh Executive Forum (EF) on Islamic finance on 3 - 4 June 2015.

The IFSB-INCEIF EF Series aim to provide a platform for global leaders in Islamic fi­nance to discuss selected emerging issues facing the global Islamic ­financial services industry. The EF places an emphasis on issues related to supervision and prudential regulation, both at national and international levels, harnessing from the experiences of a distinguished pool of global experts, academics and practitioners.

The 7th edition of the Executive Forum, themed, Building Momentum for Islamic Liquidity Management will be held on 3 - 4 June 2015 in Sasana Kijang, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This EF brings to the fore new insights on the interactions between internal liquidity and external funds (e.g. profit-sharing investment accounts, Sukuk, etc.) as well as discusses how these interactions affect both the way an Islamic finance institution contemplates its financial decisions, and how regulators formulate appropriate liquidity risk management policies.

Moreover, the EF will discuss the current conventional and Islamic overviews of liquidity risk management and the challenges in building a resilient and robust liquidity risk management framework in the future. Finally, the EF will also include deliberations on the new developments in the regulatory landscape, with a special focus on the emerging liquidity risk management requirements, such as the Liquidity Coverage Ratio (LCR) and Net Stable Funding Ratio (NSFR), in addition to how these requirements can encompass Islamic finance specificities.
