“We are happy that the UKIFC have taken a global perspective on the CPD project and look forward to the establishment of a common platform for all leading jurisdictions for the shared goal of enhancing the growth and capacity and availability of Islamic finance throughout the world, using UK as a hub”
Lord Digby Jones, Former Minister of State for UK Trade & Investment
“In the Church we don’t just want to talk about how we need to do things differently. We want to demonstrate how we can and are. Working with the Islamic Finance Council UK is an important part of that work. Not only are we trying to build a fairer economy together. We are also building vital friendships and relationships across our faiths. That is also really significant in today’s world where these relationships are so often defined by division.”
Rev Sally Foster-Fulton, Former convener of the Church of Scotland’s Church & Society Council
“I recognise that the UKIFC aims to enhance Shariah scholars and Islamic bankers’ comparative understanding of conventional versus Islamic finance. This will go a long way in empowering the scholars and bankers.”
Rasheed Al Maraj, Governor, Central Bank of Bahrain
“I think the work of the UKIFC is very important as it takes the principles of ethical finance and tries to apply them to needs of Scotland, of society and some of the big opportunities that Scotland can offer.”
Lady Susan Rice CBE, President, Scottish Council for Development & Industry
“The UKIFC’s round table events are a unique forum in the ethical finance sector; the opportunity to hear perspectives on a particular topic from a wide range of stakeholders is invaluable.”
