Organised by: WIEF-UiTM International Centre
Theme: Global Economic and Business Scenario: Muslim Countries as the New Emerging Economies



Overview

There have been talks of a new shift in the global economy's centre of gravity, moving eastwards from the western hemisphere where it used to be for many decades. With a significant rise in Islamic Finance beyond its traditional shores, a rapidly increasing Halal market worth more than USD 60 billion, a burgeoning youth population comprising 65% of the total population, Muslim nations and communities are bound to rise as the new emerging economies of the world.

Would the rise of these emerging economies contribute to a new global economic configuration?
Would it make a big impact?

Come and engage yourself in this important discourse with esteemed world speakers. We invite shared reflections from the audience as we explore these issues and their application within our own community.
