The European Challenges Forum series has been organised in response to the increasing interest shown by European countries in Islamic financial services. It is tailored to suit European regulators and market players, and aims to provide:
• an overview of the Islamic financial services industry, as well as the various regulatory approaches taken to supervise it;
• a platform to discuss the relevant global prudential regulations for the Islamic financial services industry developed by the IFSB, compared with those developed by other international frameworks, such as Basel III; and
• an avenue for understanding the features and dynamics of different regional markets in line with the IFSB’s efforts to facilitate sound and stable growth of the Islamic financial services industry.
