The Dual-Banking Blueprint - Scaling Sharia-Compliant Windows in Conventional Ecosystems

The global demand for Islamic finance is outstripping the technical capacity of conventional banking systems to support it. Early architectural and policy decisions - especially on tax neutrality and accounting segregation – will critically shape the scalability of Islamic finance institutions.

This session tackles the "plumbing" of dual-banking – focusing on how to build systems that are not only Shariah-compliant, but regionally interoperable and future-ready. As ecosystems in Central Asia and other regions (e.g. ASEAN) experience continued advancement in Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) and focus on expanding Shariah-compliant capital markets, the discussion will also examine how digital rails can unlock unprecedented cross-border investment flows, trade efficiency and financial inclusion.
