The two-day conference, themed "Ethics in Action: Rebuilding Foundations and Advancing the Global Impact of the Islamic Economy," seeks to integrate justice, accountability, and social responsibility into modern financial systems. Participants will address a broad agenda covering Islamic banking, capital markets, and the role of social finance instruments such as Waqf, Zakat, and Takaful. According to Yousef Hassan Khalawi, Secretary-General of the AlBaraka Forum, the primary challenge remains ensuring that these foundational principles transition from theoretical discourse into tangible economic impact.
