Islamic banking is growing rapidly at 15 to 20 percent annually. This boom has accelerated the pace at which players are encountering new business and technological challenges. Driven by an increased focus on innovation, customer service leadership and risk management, many Islamic banks are reassessing their strategic and operational priorities to address these challenges. Also critical at this juncture is how Islamic banks utilise technology as a key enabler to achieve their business goals.
Asian Banker Research recently completed a study in this area and would like to share some of our findings as well as obtain your valuable input based on your banking and operational experiences. The meeting held over breakfast will involve the following agenda.
