Kenya is set to host the first East Africa Islamic Finance Summit (EIAFS2015) that will be held on December 14th
at Nairobi’s Villa Rosa Kempinski. The summit themed’ Unveiling
Possibilities’ will provide a platform for Governments, private sector
leaders from Tanzania, Kenya, Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia & Sudan.
Experts
in Islamic Finance will discuss the development of Islamic Finance in
East Africa, explore infrastructure projects in the region and discuss
alternative opportunities for project and trade finance for both public
and private sector projects.
Speakers
and panelists will cover key areas including Regulatory Framework,
Regional Infrastructure Projects and Opportunities for financing and
Sukuk Issuance amongst other topics.
EAIFS
2015 comes at a time when Kenya and other EAC countries are
contemplating a sukuk issuance to finance the ambitious infrastructure
projects.
If
Africa is to fully participate and compete in the global trade and
investment markets, financing is critical, hence the decision to host
this forum alongside the WTO 10th Ministerial.
The Summit will also be a showcase of East Africa’s investment opportunities for the Gulf Wealth.
EAIFS
2015 has tapped the participation and support from international and
regional leadership in governments and private sector who’ll be in the
country for the WTO meetings.
The
conference is organized by UK based Private Sector Body, East Africa
Business Network and supported regionally by Anjarwalla & Khanna ,
Somali Economic Forum and in Tanzania by Conference Services .
