| PROGRAMME
This programme is exclusive to The Sukuk Summit and has never been attempted anywhere in terms of its breadth; value-added-ness; contemporary relevance and future potential. Perhaps, more importantly, it also aims to provide a platform for issuers and end-users to engage with investors, arrangers, listing and rating agencies, as well as with community organisations which may have Waqf assets available for securitisation – the first time ever that this is being facilitated at such a conference anywhere. |
