| Summary: | Islamic finance is a fast-booming
segment of global finance. Serving a core population of 1.8

the global developments in the area of fintech solutions by
Islamic financial institutions (IFIs) and its impact on
financial inclusion within its core markets. The core
audience of this report are financial services institution
leadership, and government policymakers, especially across
