Webinar Detail

In recent years, Islamic banking has become a key segment of global finance and has shown remarkable resilience especially in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic. However, Islamic Banking in Africa has made little headway despite the continent’s large Muslim populations, mainly due to the limited public awareness and low domestic savings. 

This is about to change as per multiple reports. African Governments are taking interest as they realise the huge potential for growth in Islamic banking. Keeping that in mind, as part of its project finance series, ABiQ hosted a webinar on Islamic Banking in Africa.

Mufti Ismail Dessai, CEO and Chairman – Global Islamic Financial Services Firm (GIFS) spoke about the impact of Islamic Banking as well as the challenges faced by the sector.
