Grameen Bank has issued more than $5.1bn in loans to 5.3 million borrowers, maintaining a hugely successful repayment rate of 99%. IIFF will discuss topics ranging from harmonisation of Islamic finance; the growth of Sukuk; the potential of Takaful; accounting standards; social responsibility; alternative asset classes; treasury management; hedge and electronic trading funds.
