Diving into the Deep Blue: Possibilities for Islamic Fintech

Program Overview

To have a better understanding of the blue economy as one of the Islamic capital market fundraising instruments. Creating the blue Sukuk will not only help to ensure protection and sustainable use of oceans through investment in the blue economy but also help to build ocean resilience. Although relatively new, it has created much interest in blue financing which is needed for coastal areas that rely heavily on the ocean for food security, tourism, and livelihoods. This session will also explore the overall role of the Islamic fintech landscape that can play a vital role in assisting this sustainable agenda as well as identifying opportunities that can support the SDGs.
