Qatar Expo is delighted to announce the inaugural Global Islamic Investment Forum (GIIF), to be held March 2008, Doha, Qatar. Brought to you by The First Investor, GIIF will examine some of the most important issues facing Islamic banking. 

With pure-play Islamic Banks and financial institutions currently managing over $250 billion of assets globally and with a further $200-300 billion under management by Islamic windows and subsidiaries of international banks, GIIF is both timely and relevant. 

GIIF will provide important opportunities for the forging of key networks with government and banking officials on the growing demand and opportunities for Islamic financing.  The Forum will present a combination of speaker panels, case studies and break out sessions to provide an engaging format for discussion of Islamic Investment and related issues while the Exhibition will showcase products and services regionally and from all over the world.  

Bankers, Financiers, Insurance Industry Representatives, Sharia Scholars, Academics, and Islamic Financing Practitioners from US, Europe, Canada and many other countries are expected to participate in this Event, which includes an invitation to a social programme that promises to extend networking opportunities and provide an enhanced delegate experience.
