Islamic finance continues to be a significant and growing part of the global financial landscape, with a $3 trillion finance market. It offers alternatives to the mainstream UK financial structure that align with Shari'ah law, including ethical, interest-free finance.
This is just one of the many topics being investigated during the 3rd annual AlBaraka Summit at the London Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square on 26 and 27 October. Economists, business leaders, academics and scholars will meet and discuss the merits of an alternative to the traditional capitalist economic model.
The summit will focus on the role of Islamic finance in sustainable economic growth, both in the UK and globally, and provide a platform for UK businesses to explore future collaboration with companies from Muslim-majority countries.
By understanding how adopting Islamic finance principles can unlock new growth opportunities within the UK, the Summit aims to demonstrate and educate attendees on alternative economic models to work alongside capitalism.
