In conjunction with the 8^th Global Islamic Finance Forum, Labuan IBFC together with Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad will host an exclusive post-forum titled “Digitalising Maqasid al-Shariah: Islamic Finance for the Next Era” on 15 October 2025 at Sasana Kijang, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. 

Details of the event are as follows: 

Day/Date: Wednesday 15 October 2025

Time: 9.00 am

Venue: Conference Hall 2, Sasana Kijang, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia 

As Economy 4.0 unfolds, the intersection of digital innovation and Shariah-aligned finance presents unprecedented opportunities for ethical, inclusive growth. This high-level engagement presents Malaysia, via Labuan IBFC, as a leader in Islamic digital finance and tokenisation. Key highlights include Sukuk 4.0 to unlock global liquidity to AI Sukuk as a new asset class, with smart contracts enhancing zakat and waqf transparency. The programme also introduces Climate Sukuk, integrating Maqasid al-Shariah with green finance by tokenising carbon and biodiversity credits, alongside discussions on AI, SME access and measurable ESG and SDG outcomes. 

Aligned with this vision, the programme will also showcase Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad’s strategic fintech initiatives, particularly under Project Juara, which underscores how various parties can come together to shape Malaysia’s digital finance future. 

As part of this milestone event, there will also be an MOU signing between Labuan IBFC Inc. and the Association of Shariah Advisers in Islamic Finance Malaysia (ASAS), a collaboration aimed at strengthening Shariah governance and talent and fostering greater innovation in Islamic finance. 

Bringing together key stakeholders, this event offers a platform to shape the future of Shariah-compliant digital finance. Gain fresh insights and strategies to preserve, grow, and transition wealth through Malaysia and Labuan IBFC’s unique offerings. 

You are cordially invited to send a reporter and photographer/cameraman to cover the event.
