During his visit to Bahrain in May 2023, Dr. M. Mahabbat Hossain, Principal Coordinator of IBFC Thrive with Shari’ah, engaged in a fruitful discussion with a team from the Bahrain Institute of Banking and Finance (BIBF), including Mr. Mujtaba Khalid, Head of the Islamic Finance Centre. The conversation centered around various issues concerning the Islamic Finance Industry, with a particular focus on exploring potential collaboration opportunities, especially regarding joint Islamic finance professional programs. Alhamdulillah, the meeting was productive and promising for future partnerships.
