Senior fellow at Columbia University and UNDP senior advisor Aamir Rehman will discuss how Islamic Finance could help build a more sustainable economic system.
The current crisis has amplified the need to engage all stakeholders in contributing to post-pandemic economic recovery. In many settings, drawing on Islamic finance stakeholders and instruments can help mobilize resources and align them with the most pressing economic needs. In this interactive webinar, Aamir A. Rehman, senior fellow at Columbia University and senior advisor to the UN Development Programme Islamic Finance, will explain the potential role and advantages of instruments such as sukuk bonds, waqf endowments, Zakat philanthropy, blended finance, and asset-based financing in abating the economic crisis.
