Greetings and welcome to the 16th IFSB Summit!

I am thrilled to extend a gracious welcome to our esteemed delegates who will be joining us at the IFSB's highly anticipated event of the year, held for the first time in the tranquil city of Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei Darussalam, with the gracious support of our host, the Brunei Darussalam Central Bank.

Under the theme, "Islamic Finance and Financial Stability in an Evolving Environment: Navigating Emerging Risks," this carefully curated two-day event aims to be a platform for disseminating valuable knowledge and making significant contributions to the advancement of Islamic finance in today's dynamic economic landscape.

Islamic finance, well-poised for sustainable economic development, is set to leverage technology while upholding environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) values. Within this collaborative setting, our objective is to facilitate meaningful discussions, enlightening presentations, and the exchange of valuable ideas, fostering synergy among our esteemed global participants.

We eagerly anticipate the active participation of our delegates in addressing the potential challenges facing the Islamic financial services industry and contributing significantly to the progression of Islamic finance amidst the challenges posed by the evolving macroeconomic landscape, rapid technological advancements, and climate-related financial risks.
