In its 5th edition, the Mediterranean Islamic Finance Forum is an opportunity to get to know this financial system and thus explore new business opportunities in the Mediterranean region and beyond. This forum will introduce you to a wide banking network that respects the principles of Islamic law, with practices such as the concept of solidarity guarantee (Takaful) or the interest-free certificate (Sukuk). Islamic finance is a way of bringing together different Mediterranean actors, allowing them to benefit from untapped financial resources within Muslim countries. It is also a way to access the business community of the Gulf countries. In addition, Islamic finance is an opportunity to align with some of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, as it incorporates the principles of financial sustainability and responsible finance, which are rarely found in Western finance.
