EXECUTION
IDEA
Title: Islamic Finance Courses
Since its inception 40 years ago, Islamic banking and finance has enjoyed impressive growth and has demonstrated a feasible and viable form of finance. As any new development on the business arena it got its supporters and antagonists. Whatever the opinion, many business bodies get deeply involved in the matter in order to expand their knowledge about Islamic Finance issues. As a result, initially perceived as an exclusive topic, Islamic Finance soon became a widely acknowledgeable business idea attracting more and more followers every year. Islamic Finance Events coupled with a growing number of individuals and corporations provides a unique educational opportunity in the form of a series of Islamic Finance courses concerning its individual aspects. We believe that the comprehensive knowledge available during our presentations provides a strong information base for all delegates attending the events.
