CALL FOR PAPERS & PARTICIPATION
*FOUNDATION OF ISLAMIC FINANCE CONFERENCE (FIFC)*
*April 2-3, 2014*
Durham Centre for Islamic Economics and Finance
Durham University Business School
Durham University, United Kingdom
*Foundation of Islamic Finance Series*
The Sixth *Foundation of Islamic Finance (FIFC) Conference *is to be held
at the Durham University, Durham, United Kingdom. *FIFC* series, originally
funded via a large 2006-11 Australian Government grant, is a joint
collaboration of The University of Melbourne’s National Centre of
Excellence in Islamic Studies (NCEIS) and the Monash University in
Melbourne. A group of eminent scholars from around the world are networked
as associate researchers under the FIFC. The sole aim of their efforts is
to publish rigorously done research studies as books (under the Edward
Elgar Foundation of Islamic Finance series) and as journal publications to
advance the emergingdiscipline, *Islamic Finance*. As self-funded
non-profit organisation, it manages to offer an annual meeting for
deliberation, and then publish notable literature since 2006.
You are invited to participate in the 2014 meeting with the conference
theme *"Islamic Economics and Finance: The New Frontier”*: Papersrelating
to Islamic economics and finance including papers covering the Shariah
aspects of Islamic economics and finance are welcome in this series.
*The 2014 meeting is jointly organised by the INCEIF (International Center
for Education in Islamic Finance) ISRA, located in Malaysia, and Durham
University. *It will be held at the conference facilities of Durham
University in United Kingdom. The National Centre for Financial Economics
Research (NCFER) at the AACSB-accredited University Putra Malaysia and the
Arshad Ayub Graduate Business School (AAGBS) Universiti Teknologi MARA, are
associated with the FIFC.
The venue and the dates were specially chosen to bring this series outside
of Asia Pacific Region, to enable participation at an affordable cost in a
developed country. Four best papers will be chosen andpublished in
international journal while a book on *Conventional and Islamic Insurance:
Theory & Practice* will be published under the Foundation Series. The
chapters for the book will be written by eminent experts and presented at
the FIFC before being edited by the series editor(s). Three books from
previousFIFC meetings (on banking; sukuk; banking products) and journal
articles have been well received by the industry and the academia.
This series of conferences gained support from a number of eminent colleges
in the UK; Australia, Malaysia & UAE, and supported by financial/research
organizations (National Australia Bank, Kuwait Finance House, Bond Pricing
Agency, etc.) involved in Islamic Banking, Insurance, and Finance
attracting good participation from both academic and professional sectors. The
aim is to encourage open discussion leading to quality publications:
authentic books, refereed journal articles, doctoral proposal discussions
and conference proceedings. All papers will be carefully peer-reviewed by a
panel of established experts before being accepted for presentation. The
main criterion for paper selection is: Does the paper advance the building
of knowledge relevant for the Islamic Finance being taught in tertiary
institutions and for managing a new industry?
Islamic Finance has grown rapidly over its short 50-year history. The
total assets managed by some 570 institutions in more than 76
countries are estimated to be as large as US$ 4 trillion. It is
growing at about 25-20 per cent since the Global Financial Crisis. The
UK government has passed new laws in October, 2013, to permit the
offer, listing and trading of the Islamic debt instruments called
*sukuk* in the London Exchange. *Sukuk* is already traded in 12
markets. It has some desirable features to restrain too much borrowing
with its asset-backed contracting terms. London is expected to spur
its further growth.
Among the key scholars participating are eminent persons: Habib Ahmad, Dato
Mohamed Ariff, Mohamed Ariff, MuratÇizakça, Mervyn Lewis, Munawar Iqbal,
Abbas Mirakhor, Tariqullah Khan, etc. The Governor of the Bank Negara
Malaysia is likely to participate along with the CEO/President of INCEIF
