Wednesday 28 Oct 2015 - 13:20 Makkah mean time-15-1-1437 (Image from arabianmarketer) Manama, (IINA) - Bahrain will host in December the 22nd Annual World Islamic Banking Conference 2015 (WIBC) at the Gulf Hotel in the capital city of Manama , WIBC website reported. The conference will be held on December 1-3 under the patronage of Prince Khalifa Bin Salman Al Khalifa, prime minister of Bahrain. The event, which is to be organized by Middle East Global Advisors (MEGA) and supported by the Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB), aims to harness the power of technology, social media & cutting-edge research to give delegates a powerful outlook to the trends shaping the global financial services industry. One of the unique aspects to be discussed is the role of technology in delivering financial services as a bridge towards greater financial inclusion of the 72 percent of Muslims around the world who do not have access to financial services. Alongside this important goal is how to better integrate Islamic finance not just within Muslim communities but to reach out and recognize the opportunity for building an industry that is no longer viewed as a niche but which works in both non-Muslim majority countries and with the broader responsible investing and finance sector. The 22nd WIBC will bring together leading market players, industry experts, and leaders. SM/IINA
