The International Conference on Islamic Financial Literacy (ICiFIL) was first initiated by the IIUM Institute of Islamic Banking and Finance (IIiBF) in the year 2021. The ICiFIL has been successfully organised since its inception with the involvement of many parties.
Integrating Islamic Financial Literacy with the Sustainability Agenda involves creating synergies between ethical and moral principles of Islamic finance and sustainable development goals. Both Islamic finance and sustainability emphasise ethical decision- making and social responsibility. Islamic finance’s prohibition of interest, risk-sharing principles and ethical investment align closely with the sustainability agenda’s focus on equitable growth, ethical business practices and responsible resource management.
Hence, the 2nd International Conference on Islamic Financial Literacy 2024 (ICiFIL 2024) will highlight promoting and bridging knowledge gaps on financial inclusivity and literacy in Islamic finance.
