Speech by Mr Muhammad bin Ibrahim, Deputy Governor of the Central Bank of Malaysia, at the 12th Asia-Europe Business Forum: “The Potential Role of Islamic Finance in Contributing to Global Financial Stability”, Brussels, 4 October 2010. * * *
I am honoured to be invited to speak at this Asia-Europe Business Forum themed “Financial Services Industry: Opportunities and Challenges for Asia and Europe”. During a time of global economic challenge and uncertainty, following the recent unprecedented global financial and economic crisis, it is timely for this forum to take place as a platform for business leaders and policymakers across Asia and Europe to reflect on the challenges and to discuss on solutions that can contribute to restoration of global financial stability.
