ABOUT THE ISLAMIC FINANCIAL SERVICES BOARD (<strong>IFSB</strong>)<br />

The <strong>IFSB</strong> is an international st<strong>and</strong>ard-setting organisation that promotes <strong>and</strong> enhances the<br />

st<strong>and</strong>ards <strong>and</strong> guiding principles for the industry, broadly defined <strong>to</strong> include banking, capital<br />

coordinates initiatives on industry related issues, as well as organises roundtables, seminars<br />

<strong>and</strong> conferences for regula<strong>to</strong>rs <strong>and</strong> industry stakeholders. Towards this end, the <strong>IFSB</strong> works<br />

closely with relevant international, regional <strong>and</strong> national organisations, research/educational<br />

institutions <strong>and</strong> market players.<br />
