Speaking on Amana Bank’s participation at GFIEF 2024, Mohamed Azmeer stated, “This forum highlighted the significant impact of Islamic Economics and Finance on the overall financial landscape and provided an opportunity to exchange ideas and best practices. It was inspiring to hear success stories from Malaysia, the Philippines, and Indonesia on their progressive use of alternative bonds, or Sukuks, to achieve economic prosperity. Additionally, the forum provided Amana Bank with the opportunity to showcase its success story in growing Islamic Finance in a non-Muslim majority country”
Further Azmeer added “Amana Bank’s active participation in GFIEF 2024 underscores its dedication to enhancing economic growth and promoting the values of Islamic finance. The Bank remains committed to driving positive change and contributing to the resilient and equitable development of the Sri Lankan economy.”
