Responsible Finance Summit – Kuala Lumpur

The Responsible Finance Summit is the key platform that will facilitate discussions and build bridges between traditional responsible finance and Islamic finance. The combination of the two sectors of responsible finance–one based in slower-growing developed economies and one growing within vibrant emerging markets–can act as a catalyst to support the expansion of responsible finance more fully across the globe. This expansion is key to enable equitable, inclusive and sustainable economic growth.

The Summit will revolve around integrating islamic finance with responsible finance to further facilitate the expansion of the responsible finance industry and will focus on 4 critical areas:

• Increasing footprint in emerging markets
• Enhancing and measuring the impact of the industry
• Furthering the depth and knowledge sharing between Islamic finance and responsible finance
• Integrating responsible finance within global financial markets

Why Malaysia?

Malaysia is an ideal backdrop for the inaugural discussions on convergence within the industry due to its leading role in the development of Islamic finance industry as well as its pioneering initiatives to encourage crossovers between Islamic finance and the responsible finance industry.
