The Islamic Financial Services Board (IFSB) and the INCEIF - The Global University of Islamic Finance are organising the seventh Executive Forum (EF) on Islamic Finance on 3 and 4 June 2015. The IFSB-INCEIF EF Series aim to provide a platform for global leaders in Islamic finance to discuss emerging issues facing the global Islamic financial services industry. 

The EF, to be held at Sasana Kijang, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, emphasises supervision and prudential regulation at national and international levels. Themed Building Momentum for Islamic Liquidity Management the EF will surface new insights through panel sessions, discussion groups, and practical case studies on the interactions between internal liquidity and external funds (e.g. profit-sharing investment accounts and sukuk).

The EF will also compare current conventional and Islamic overviews of liquidity risk management and discuss the challenges in building a resilient and robust liquidity risk management framework in the future. New developments in the regulatory landscape, with a special focus on the emerging liquidity risk management requirements, such as the liquidity coverage ratio (LCR) and net stable funding ratio (NSFR), are on the agenda as well.
