The Islamic finance sector has experienced exponential growth in the last few decades. Islamic banking institutions are now established in over 50 countries and account for more than 15% of the financial landscape in most of these countries. The success of the Islamic financial industry is all the more evident since it has come during a period when the conventional financial industry was experiencing a crisis. From the Olympic village in London to Burj Khalifa in Dubai, shariah compliant investments are making inroads on a global scale. The global Islamic financial assets stand at $2 trillion with Pakistan and Malaysia at the forefront. With nearly one-fifth of the banking sector in the two countries reliant on the Islamic financial services with double digit annual growth, the potential of Islamic financial services is

huge.

Suleman Dawood School of Business (SDSB) at Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) recognises that this

incredible potential for growth has its challenges. SDSB is paving the way for the development of Islamic finance in the country by offering specialised courses in this area with the establishment of a dedicated Centre for Is lamic Finance

(CIF) to further scholarship in Islamic Finance. Undergraduate and graduate courses are being offered in Islamic Banking and Finance, Accounting for Islamic Financial Institutions, Islamic Management and Ethics, and Islamic Risk

Management.

In collaboration with IBA (Karachi) and INCEIF (Malaysia), SDSB is now organising a joint 3rd Islamic Finance, Banking and Business Ethics Global (IFBBE) Conference. The conference dates are set to May 2018 and will take place at our purpose-built campus in Lahore, Pakistan. This conference seeks to bring together scholars and professionals engaged in research (both practical and academic) on the growth and development of Islamic Finance to present their research papers/ideas to a broader audience.

Suleman Dawood School of Business, LUMS, IBA (Karachi) and INCEIF invites research papers and teaching cases submissions on the following topics. This is an indicative, non-exhaustive list:

Regulation of Markets and Corporations by the State in an Islamic Economic System

LOCATION

LUMS Campus: The LUMS campus is spread over 100 acres of lush green lawns. It is located in the Defence Housing Authority, a developed and safe suburb of Lahore with several restaurants, hospitals and other facilities. The Allama Iqbal International Airport is also in close proximity to the campus. The campus has been carefully planned to provide excellent facilities and create a safe environment for students, residents and visitors. Some of its features include, a state-of-the-art library, 24-hour security, an on-campus mosque and integrated sports and recreational facilities with many dining options.

Lahore: An urban metropolis, Lahore has a history and cultural richness which remains unmatched in the country. The oldest historical reference to Lahore

dates back to 680 AD. Much later, John Milton wrote, “City of old or modern fame, the seat; Of mightiest empire, from the destined walls; Of Cambalu, seat of

Cathian Can, …To Agra and Lahore of Great Mogul…” [Paradise Lost, Book 10]. Experience a taste of Lahore for yourself. A sightseeing tour for the participants

can also be arranged..
