The Islamic Banking Forum, organized by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the Union of Arab Banks, will organize a forum on Islamic finance and development objectives for the United Nations, focusing on Africa in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum .

The forum follows the success of the first joint forum held in September 2016 in Tunis, where the forum will be an important catalyst for presenting the most important opportunities for the development of the real economy through Islamic finance.

WAM said the forum will highlight the competitiveness of Islamic financial institutions in Africa and the relevance of their development goals to the United Nations' goals for sustainable development .
The Forum examines how Islamic finance contributes to the achievement of the United Nations development goals, while increasing partnership between governments, the private sector, civil society, other stakeholders and actors.

The participants will have the opportunity to present their views and suggestions on how to stimulate growth and discuss the opportunities and challenges facing Islamic finance in African markets, in line with the objectives and agenda of the United Nations, and offer industry experts from different countries their views on ways and strategies to exploit opportunities and achieve common goals .
The forum will bring together the various stakeholders from the Islamic finance industry, multilateral development institutions, international regulatory bodies, policy makers, banking leaders and the academic community under one roof to discuss how to develop border markets for Islamic finance .
