Kazan to Become a Centre for Islamic Finance Training
14 February
A training programme on Islamic finance organised by the Tatarstan Investment Development Agency together with the General Council for Islamic Banks and Financial Institutions (CIBAFI) will be held at the Korston Hotel from 24 to 26 February 2025.
Islamic finance is one of the most fast-growing sectors of the world economy, attracting billions of dollars in investments. The area is actively developing in Tatarstan, among other Russian regions, with Kazan consolidating its status as a key platform for the introduction of Islamic financial instruments.
The General Council for Islamic Banks and Financial Institutions (CIBAFI) is a leading international organisation founded in 2001 and affiliated with the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). CIBAFI has over 140 members from 34 jurisdictions representing market participants, international intergovernmental organisations, professional firms, and industry associations. The Council plays an integral role in promoting and developing the Islamic finance industry by collaborating with major global institutions, such as the IMF, the World Bank, the IsDB, and the UN.
The programme will be inaugurated by the Secretary General of CIBAFI Dr. Abdelilah Belatik, an international finance expert with over 25 years of experience in leading financial centres around the world. Dr Belatik has served as Assistant Secretary General of the Islamic Financial Services Board (IFSB), making significant contributions to the organisation’s strategic activities, as well as Chairman of Turritopsis, the Strategic Institute for Sustainable Development. Abdelilah Belatik is currently a member of several international boards and advisory groups, including the AAOIFI Public Interest Monitoring Consultative Committee (PIMCC), the IASB Islamic Finance Consultative Group (IFCG), and the Arab Authority for Agricultural Investment and Development (AAAID).
The training course has been created for participants in the partnership (Islamic) finance experiment, aiming to provide an in-depth study of the key principles of the Islamic financial system. Over a span of three days, the participants will gain practical skills that will help them to successfully apply Islamic finance tools in business and investments, whereas at the end of the course, they will receive official CIBAFI certificates confirming their proficiency in Islamic finance.
