What the Industry Leaders are saying about WIBC Asia 2012

“The theme for the 3rd Annual World Islamic Banking Conference: Asia Summit (WIBC Asia 2012), “Islamic Finance in Asia: Strengthening International Connectivity and Capturing Cross-Border Opportunities”, highlights a significant opportunity that IB Asia is focused on. We hope that the high-level discussions at this important forum in Singapore will foster new business relationships between key growth markets for Islamic finance. We are once again delighted to renew our partnership as a Platinum Strategic Partner.”

“WIBC Asia Summit is an excellent platform for industry experts to share their insights, knowledge and expertise of the industry. It is an honor and privileged for Maybank Islamic to be part of WIBC Asia for the 3rd consecutive year, with the strong support from Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) in its commitment for the benefit of the industry within the region.”

“WIBC Asia has become an important bridge connecting Asia and the Middle East to the growing participants of Islamic finance. Since its launch in 2010, the event has grown in both size and stature. It is a unique gathering for the industry to discuss trends, share experiences and explore opportunities to tap the full potential of Islamic finance.”

Muzaffar HishamChief Executive OfficerMaybank Islamic

“In order to ensure an orderly evolution of Islamic finance from a niche segment into the mainstream international financial markets, it is vital to further enhance the industry’s capabilities for cross-border activities, which in turn will encourage innovative product development, robust and standardised regulatory frameworks and the long term stability of the industry. What the industry lacks at the moment is the breadth and depth that investors enjoy in the conventional market. An inter-linkage between the key Islamic financial centres will facilitate investor access to a wider range of Shari’a-compliant products beyond those available in their domestic market. The annual World Islamic Banking Conference: Asia Summit is becoming an increasingly important platform that facilitates dialogues between the two key centres for Islamic finance - Asia and the Middle East. The theme for this year, “Islamic Finance in Asia: Strengthening International Connectivity and Capturing Cross-Border Opportunities”, highlights the tremendous potential for significant cross-border transactions which the Islamic finance industry must tap into. As a key industry player we are keen on exploring these unique opportunities and we look forward to this important gathering. We are once again delighted to be a Platinum Strategic Partner of this prestigious event.”
