The multi-year partnership aims to strengthen the stability, inclusion and growth of the global Islamic financial services industry. The work program will provide capacity building and technical assistance to reinforce national institutions and Islamic finance frameworks. It will also support research into emerging risks and opportunities and the dissemination of best practices, with a focus on helping countries develop the capacity to apply Islamic financial standards effectively.
