ITP events in association with Arabian Banking & Finance are delighted to announce the launch of 1st Annual Takaful 2008 from 30-31 March at the Gulf Hotel & Convention Centre, Kingdom of Bahrain.

Arabian Banking & Finance provides news, data and in-depth analysis for the region’s financial professionals, while also illustrating the latest trends and product developments within the industry.

Every month Arabian Banking & Finance highlights the key stories of the month from across the region, identifying the current ‘hot’ issues and predicting their market impact. Arabian Banking & Finance is delivered to 10,000 readers each month.

There is tremendous scope for Takaful to develop supported by the 1.5 billion worldwide muslim population and with the growth of the ethical and socially responsible movement in the West, Takaful also has the potential to attract the interest and address the needs of non-Muslim ethically minded consumers. This could generate billions of dollars worth of Takaful funds under management provided that competetive products are developed to the satisfaction of that untapped customer base.

The intention is to establish this conference as the dedicated industry conference that nurtures discourse and drives the Takaful industry forward.

Looking forward to meeting you in the Kingdom of Bahrain on 30 & 31 March 2008.
