The NUS Middle East Institute is extremely pleased to host our first Islamic Finance multi-panel event. The purpose of this workshop is to examine the experiences of Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore in introducing Islamic finance to the region and how each may contribute to ever-closer cooperation and sustainable development in the context of ASEAN’s plans for financial integration.
Papers presented will be addressing key issues in Islamic finance as well as analyzing efforts to encourage Islamic finance. Panelists include senior level officers and academicians in the banking and finance sector. Panel topics that will be discussed at the workshop are as follows:
• Financial Inclusion and Issues of Sharia Governance

• Deposits and Insurance in Islamic finance
• IDRS and AAOIFI (accounting standards) in Malaysia and Indonesia
