Building Momentum: Indonesian Islamic Financial Services, the Halal Economy and Social Finance
Show Notes

We offer a critical analysis of the applicability of Islamic financial services to two vital, burgeoning sectors in Indonesia: The Halal economy, and social finance. How large is the Halal economy both domestically and internationally? What are the opportunities for servicing, supplying, financing and managing the Halal economy? Are companies within the Halal economy exclusively using Islamic financial services, and if not, why? What represents effective value chain analysis of the Halal economy and how do Islamic financial institutions position themselves to offer successful financing solutions? Why is social finance important and how can Islamic financial institutions play a role in its growth and development in Indonesia? In a post-pandemic world, what does social finance offer in terms of relief and renewal? How can Islamic social finance be used to stimulate enterprise, entrepreneurship, job creation, healthcare and education, and assist with liquidity and funding for the vital SME sector? With such goals in mind, how does the Islamic financial services sector design effective models and strategies, offer innovative products and measure the impact of these important initiatives?
