In his address titled: ‘The Need for the Muslim Ummah to Champion Islamic Finance,’ the IFRIG Chairman said most African countries were alreading tapping into the Islamic Finance well for liquidity and Ghana needed to look that way as well. “Islamic Finance is essential for unlocking investment from the Middle East, but it also attracts investors from other parts of the world,” he stressed. The conference, under the theme: “Ramadan and the Imperative of Islamic Finance On The Ummah,” took place at the Cantonments Police Mosque and was organized in conjunction with LeadLeaders Solutions Ltd and the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology’s Short Course Unit. “For the team, it is time to take stock and analyse feedback from the gathering with the view to feeding it in into plans for our International Islamic Finance Conference which comes on insha Allah later this year,” Director Ali said.
