Now entering its 3rd year, the Islamic Finance news Roadshow is preparing for a longer and stronger series of events. Following the phenomenal success of the past two years, we are pleased to announce dates for 2010, including an additional 9 developing Islamic financial markets. Over 4,000 delegates have attended during the past two years.
At the turn of the year the Islamic finance industry had somehow been relatively unscathed and many were predicting 2009 to be its unveiling to previously uninterested markets. This was not the case. The Middle East was soon to witness an avalanche of poor results within the Islamic finance space with few deals coming to fruition. Other previously key markets were also suffering a similar fate. However, in comparison to the conventional markets, Islamic finance has stood up to the recession relatively well. And now, as issuers and investors around the world try and piece together what has happened, they’re now realizing that Islamic finance, although not entirely immune, is perhaps the healthier option.
For the past 5 years Islamic Finance news has been reaching out and educating new markets. For the past two years the educational IFN Roadshow, in key developing Islamic financial markets, has been an overwhelming success. The IFN 2010 Roadshow, which will be bigger and stronger, couldn’t come at a better time. 17 markets have been chosen for the 2010 Roadshow, all of which we consider as developing Islamic financial markets. If you have or would like a presence in any of these, then this Roadshow is for you.
