19 August 2026
The Muzakarah on Failure Resolution of Islamic Financial Institutions is an intellectual discourse that serves as a platform for members of the Islamic banking industry’s Shariah fraternity to discuss and deliberate on the development of Shariah-compliant resolution approaches. The Muzakarah aims to enhance understanding of failure resolution among Shariah practitioners while addressing challenges in ensuring the orderly resolution of Islamic banks. It facilitates thoughtful exchange and collaboration on issues, recommendations, and Shariah-compliant mechanisms for the transfer of Islamic banks’ assets, liabilities, and business, with the objective of strengthening resolution frameworks that are aligned with Shariah principles.

Experts Insights Session: Tokenisation: Innovation, Opportunities and Challenges
This session explores how tokenisation is reshaping the financial sector by enabling new models of ownership, asset transfer and financial intermediation. While tokenisation presents significant opportunities for innovation, efficiency and financial inclusion, it also introduces important legal, regulatory, and operational considerations. The discussion will share applications within banking and capital markets, highlighting the opportunities, risks and governance challenges.
Shariah Discourse 02: Shariah Analysis on Tokenised Deposit
This session explores the Shariah implications of tokenised deposits as digital innovation reshapes the future of banking and financial intermediation. While tokenisation offers greater efficiency and programmability, it also raises fundamental questions on ownership, legal enforceability. The discussion will examine the Shariah validity of tokenised deposits, including depositor identification, and explore Shariah-aligned considerations.

In Crisis, Your Decisions Shape the Outcome
Every minute counts. Every choice matters. Step into the shoes of key decision-makers in a crisis.
Make tough calls with too little time, too little information and no certainty, just like in a real crisis.
Every decision has consequences. Will your institution’s mandate align with what’s best for financial stability? If not, how will you navigate the trade-offs?
Watch as your choices ripple across stakeholders or even decide the fate of a nation’s financial system. In a crisis, there are no perfect answers, only high-stakes decisions under pressure.
Register and join us for an immersive hands-on experience at our Simulation Lab booth during the event.
