Saudi Central Bank Launches Islamic Finance Research Support Programme to Reinforce its Role in Global Finance

The Saudi Central Bank (SAMA) has launched the Islamic Finance Research Support Programme with a cash reward of SAR 100,000 to the top two research papers, in a bid to encourage research within the financial sector.

Why it Matters?

The Programme expects to highlight the prominent role played by Saudi Arabia in the global Islamic finance sector. It will also substantiate SAMA’s current work to achieve integration in the research system as a part of its social responsibility obligations. It will also assist in fulfilling Saudi Arabia’s targets of improving its knowledge position under the Saudi Vision 2030.
