Message from the President IoBM

It is with great pride that I present the Centre for Islamic Business & Finance (CIBF) at the Institute of Business Management (IoBM) as a beacon of excellence in Islamic banking, finance, and Halal business practices. In alignment with global trends and the principles of ethical and sustainable finance, the Centre has developed a comprehensive five-year strategic roadmap that underscores our commitment to innovation, capacity building, and research excellence.
At IoBM, we firmly believe that the principles of Islamic finance offer a transformative approach to addressing contemporary economic challenges while fostering inclusivity and sustainability.
The CIBF is dedicated to equipping professionals and organizations with the knowledge and tools required to transition toward Shariah-compliant models, develop Halal start-ups, and integrate emerging technologies like fintech and AI into Islamic finance practices.
Our vision for the future includes expanding academic offerings, hosting international summits, and driving impactful research that shapes policy and industry practices. With initiatives such as Green Sukuk training programs, Islamic microfinance solutions, and global collaborations, the Centre is poised to lead the way in creating an ecosystem that aligns ethical values with modern financial systems.
I invite you to join us in this journey of growth and innovation. Together, let us redefine the future of Islamic finance and contribute to a more equitable and sustainable world.
