Islamic financing for infrastructure development to top agenda for WIEF in Jakarta
JAKARTA – This year’s World Islamic Economic Forum in Jakarta will promote Islamic financing for Indonesia’s infrastructure development, WIEF general secretary Tan Sri Ahmad Fuzi Abdul Razak told Salaam Gateway.
“We think [infrastructure financing] is the most anticipated sector for financing in Indonesia, not only under G2G financing schemes but also B2B. We hope to see concrete agreements through this event,” said Abdul Razak.
He added that there will be a discussion, separate from the main event, which will focus on infrastructure financing between Indonesian and Malaysian companies that will include large local businesses such as aerospace company PT Dirgantara Indonesia, telco PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia and state lender Bank Rakyat Indonesia.
