Furthermore it is designed to promote awareness of, and interest in, the expanding role that Islamic finance is playing in the global financial market. The programme also seeks to bring together personnel of Islamic and conventional financial institutions from different parts of the world, to discuss issues, exchange experiences, and cross-fertilise ideas. The basic concept of the programme is to help participants place their business in the context of current Islamic banking development and to give some indication of the ways in which the market may be developing in the Gulf States, Malaysia, Pakistan and other countries. Programme Structure A series of lectures and workshops by leading academics, lawyers, accountants and market practitioners, interspersed with visits to some of the major international financial organisations. The Executive Development Programme provides a framework in which the importance of Islamic finance could be judged in a global context. The IIBI intends to stable the Executive Development Programme as a twice-yearly event; one for middle level executives focussing on a basic review of Islamic finance, its place in the Muslim world and its development; and one for more senior, experienced managers on the issues of management, strategy and development. The programme agenda is complemented by visits to high profile financial institutions in London, such as the Bank of England, London Commodity Exchange, London International Financial Futures Exchange (LIFFE), and major western banks handling Islamic financial instruments.
