The Maturing Role of Islamic Financial Services in Southeast Asia

What potential opportunities are on offer in supporting the transition of population dynamics in Southeast Asia, and what role should Islamic financial institutions play? How can Islamic finance be further deployed as a tool to reduce income and wealth inequality, and drive financial inclusion in the region? How are new technologies shaping strategy for the provision and distribution of Islamic financial services, and how should regulation evolve in response? How can Islamic financial institutions play a leadership role in the evolution of the Islamic economy and what does this mean in practice? We seek the views of a respected panel.
