The Turkish city of Istanbul is set to host the third edition of the Global Islamic Economy Summit from June 3 to 6, bringing together policymakers, economists, investors, academics, financial institutions, and industry leaders from across the world.
The four-day summit is expected to serve as a major platform for dialogue on ethical finance, inclusive economic growth, and the evolving role of Islamic economic principles in addressing global financial and development challenges.
The event is being organized by the Al Baraka Forum for Islamic Economics in strategic partnership with the Presidential Investment and Finance Office of Türkiye, the Turkey Wealth Fund, the Istanbul Financial Center, the Islamic Cooperation Youth Forum, and Ibn Haldun University.
The summit’s agenda will focus on several critical themes shaping the global economy, including productive capital flows, sustainable development, ethical investment models, and broader participation in economic activity.
Discussions are also expected to examine how Islamic finance can contribute to long-term economic resilience and social stability amid growing global uncertainty.
The program will explore the role of capital within the Islamic economic framework, particularly the importance of directing financial resources toward real economic activity and sustainable wealth creation.
Sessions will address innovative approaches to ethical financing and mechanisms that encourage inclusive and balanced economic expansion.
The summit will also feature strategic dialogue sessions involving representatives from central banks, global financial institutions, sovereign investment entities, and financial technology experts.
Participants are expected to discuss the rapid transformation of the financial sector through artificial intelligence, digital banking technologies, and fintech-driven innovation.
Other key topics on the agenda include the future of Islamic banking, sukuk markets, entrepreneurship, financing for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the growing role of social finance instruments such as waqf and endowments in supporting community development.
