Dr Mohammad Akram Laldin, executive director of ISRA said: “As the global heart of Islamic thought leadership, we were delighted to host an event enabling scholars to learn more about some of the conventional finance instruments. Enhancing learning between experts is a vital means by which we can further develop the profession and assist the development of Islamic finance globally. “

It is with great delight that, within a year, the programme has successfully held its first international session in Malaysia hosted by ISRA.
