Durban, KwaZulu-Natal – December 14, 2015 - In recent years, the Islamic Banking and finance industry has experienced massive growth and also it’s predicted that by 2020, the annual global growth of Islamic Banking may reach a level of 25% or more. This overwhelming demand for Islamic Banks has resulted in an increasing demand for professionals to be conversant with the principles and intricacies of Islamic Banking and Finance.
In addressing the gaps that exists in understanding Islamic Financial principles and specifically Riba free banking, Regent Business School, the accredited provider of business management courses in South Africa has hosted a one day finance seminar program on 24th August 2015 headed by Dr Yahia Abdul Rahman, the CEO and Founder of California-based Lariba Bank.
During this seminar, Dr Yahia Abdul Rahman shared his experience and vision on RIBA Free Islamic Finance and the popularisation of Islamic Banking in South Africa and throughout the world. In addition, the participants and the students were given ample chances to ask questions to clarify the Islamic finance sector for the future decision makers and leaders in the corporate world.
While talking about this Seminar, the principal of Regent Business School in South Africa added, “The seminar was presented by Dr Yahia Abdul Rahman to provide a sound understanding of Islamic Law and Finance to RBS students and participants. Since we are offering Islamic Banking and Finance Programme, this seminar would be useful for graduates to have an excellent sound knowledge on Islamic Banking and Finance in Africa.”
While enquiring about the Islamic Bank and Finance Programme, the principal of Regent Business School added, “In South Africa, initiatives to facilitate Islamic Banking and Finance have been put in place. South Africa can be the hub of Islamic Banking in Africa. In addition there is increased interest in Islamic Banking and Finance in Africa and Islamic Law forms the basis of this. A programme in Islamic Finance and Law offered by us will contribute to human capital development in this field.”
