(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - Fleming Gulf – organizer of the conference – aims with its 2nd Annual World Islamic Finance Conference, taking place on March 27th and 28th, 2012, to tackle the issue by bringing together bankers, consultants, regulators, scholars and solution providers to a common podium where they shall look into Islamic trade.As major banks and financial institutions feel the dent that the economic crisis left on their books, Shariah compliant institutions hardly even saw a scratch. One of the reasons was the restriction of investments in high risk bonds. However, nothing can remain unscathed for very long. The successful defaults in Sukuk, the lack of trained advisors and consultants who understand both the law of Islam and have economic understanding of finance along with weak marketing have perhaps hindered the growth a little.The Advisory Panel includes Dr. Mohamad Akram Laldin, Executive Director, International Shariah Research Academy for Islamic Finance (ISRA); Humayon Dar, President and CEO, Edbiz Consulting Limited; Bilal Khan, Executive Director and Shariah Scholar, Islamic Finance Education Council (IFEC); Dr. Sayd Farook, Global Head of Islamic Capital Markets, Thomson Reuters; Simon Archer, Professor, ICMA Centre (International Capital Market Association in association with University of Reading)./129
