19th IsDB Global Forum To Explore Digital Transformation in Islamic Finance

The 19th Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) Global Forum, set to convene in 2025, promises to be a landmark event in the evolution of Islamic finance. This prestigious gathering will bring together global leaders, policymakers, financial experts, and innovators to explore the transformative potential of digital technologies and financial inclusion in advancing the principles of Islamic finance. Hosted by the IsDB, a multilateral development institution dedicated to fostering sustainable economic growth in its 57 member countries, the Forum will serve as a dynamic platform for collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and innovation.

This year’s theme, “Digital Transformation and Financial Inclusion in Islamic Finance,” reflects the urgent need to harness cutting-edge technologies to expand access to ethical and inclusive financial services. Participants will delve into how digital tools—such as blockchain, artificial intelligence, and mobile banking—can enhance transparency, efficiency, and accessibility in Islamic financial systems. These advancements align with the core values of Islamic finance, which emphasize fairness, risk-sharing, and social welfare.

The Forum will also address the critical role of financial inclusion in empowering underserved communities, including women, youth, and rural populations. By leveraging digital platforms, Islamic financial institutions can bridge gaps in access to capital, promote entrepreneurship, and support sustainable development goals. Expect inspiring keynote addresses, interactive panel discussions, and case studies showcasing real-world success stories from IsDB member countries and beyond.

Set against the backdrop of a rapidly evolving global economy, the 19th IsDB Global Forum is more than a conference—it’s a call to action. It invites stakeholders to reimagine the future of Islamic finance as a catalyst for inclusive growth and societal impact. Join us in 2025 to shape a world where technology and ethical finance converge to uplift millions.
