SLIBFI conference marks 10 years

The Sri Lanka IBF Industry Conference (SLIBFI X) will be held for the 10th consecutive year on July 18 at the Ramada Colombo Hotel.

Titled “SLIBFI X”, and given the 10th anniversary of the event, the conference will focus primarily on an aspect that seem to have been forgotten in an era of phenomenal growth of the overall industry; “Creating an impact on Society.” Conference organisers said the plenary sessions will include a CEO Roundtable, a presentation on Takaful as well as a discussion on cryptocurrencies but the overriding theme would be “Social Impact Investing”.

Post-lunch, the technical sessions, hosted by Adl Capital Ltd, will cover Islamic Credit Cards, Wakalah, Islamic Overdrafts and the “Impact on the New Tax Laws” on the IBF industry. The keynote address will be delivered by Reyaz Mihular, Managing Partner, KPMG whilst the CEO panel will include Mohamed Azmeer of Amana Bank, Fazal Ghaffoor of Amana Takaful, Krishan Thilakaratne, of Commercial Leasing and Finance and Ishrat Rauff of Adl Capital. Mafaz Ishaq, Shiraz Sideek, Suresh Perera, Fouzul Hameed, Sheikh Ahmed Umar Yoosuf, Sabri Abdul Cader, Siddeeque Akbar, Azad Zaheed, Imran Nafeer, Ash Sheikh Zaid Nooramith, and Yahya Ilham are some of the other distinguished speakers who will feature in the day’s proceedings. The event is organized by UTO EduConsult (Pvt) with KPMG and Adl Capital playing pivotal roles.
