Dr. Al-Suwailem delivered a lecture entitled ‘Islamic Finance in the 21st Century’. The lecture highlights the main challenges facing Islamic Finance in this century and the opportunities for the industry in responding to them. As the business model of commercial banking itself is changing due to the fintech revolution, Islamic banks have a unique opportunity to leverage on the nature of Islamic Finance to integrate financing with real economic activities, particularly e-commerce. Using modern fintech strategies, Islamic Finance is able to compete with conventional banks and add value to the economy.
