NIBAF Pakistan has successfully conducted Module-2 of the Islamic Banking Certificate Course (IBCC-76), continuing its efforts to enhance professional capacity and technical understanding within Pakistan’s Islamic banking and finance sector. The module was held from January 05 to January 10, 2026, at the NIBAF Pakistan Karachi Campus and was delivered in a face-to-face format, allowing for in-depth engagement and interactive learning.
The programme was attended by officers from commercial banks as well as representatives from the State Bank of Pakistan, reflecting the growing institutional focus on developing skilled human capital to support the expansion of Shariah-compliant banking in the country. The training was delivered by a panel of experienced trainers with expertise in Islamic banking operations, regulatory frameworks, and financial practices, ensuring a comprehensive and practical learning experience for participants.
Module-2 of IBCC-76 focused on deepening participants’ understanding of core Islamic banking concepts and their application within modern financial institutions. The sessions covered key operational aspects of Islamic banking, including product structures, risk management considerations, and compliance with Shariah principles. Participants were also exposed to regulatory perspectives that govern Islamic banking operations in Pakistan, helping them align institutional practices with supervisory expectations.
Interactive discussions formed an important part of the module, allowing participants to engage with trainers on real-world challenges faced by Islamic banks. These discussions provided an opportunity to bridge the gap between theory and practice, particularly in areas such as product development, governance, and operational efficiency. The face-to-face format enabled active participation and exchange of experiences among professionals from different institutions.
The Islamic Banking Certificate Course is one of NIBAF Pakistan’s flagship certification programmes and is designed to support the banking industry’s transition toward Shariah-compliant financial intermediation. As Islamic banking continues to gain market share in Pakistan’s financial system, the need for well-trained professionals with a strong understanding of both Shariah principles and banking operations has become increasingly important.
Through IBCC-76, NIBAF aims to develop a pool of professionals who can contribute effectively to Islamic banks, conventional banks with Islamic windows, and regulatory institutions. The programme aligns with the broader objectives of the State Bank of Pakistan to promote a robust, transparent, and Shariah-compliant Islamic financial system supported by competent human resources.
Participants of Module-2 benefited from structured learning modules that combined conceptual clarity with practical insights. The programme also emphasized the evolving role of Islamic banking within Pakistan’s financial sector, highlighting its contribution to financial inclusion, ethical finance, and sustainable economic growth. Discussions around regulatory expectations helped participants understand how Islamic banking institutions are supervised and how compliance frameworks are implemented in practice.
NIBAF Pakistan’s Karachi Campus has played an important role in hosting such specialized programmes, serving as a hub for professional training in banking and finance. By offering certification courses like IBCC-76, NIBAF continues to support the development of industry-ready professionals who can meet the growing demands of Islamic financial institutions.
The completion of Module-2 marks another milestone in the IBCC-76 journey and reflects NIBAF Pakistan’s continued commitment to capacity building in the banking sector. Through its certification and training initiatives, the institute remains focused on strengthening the foundation of Shariah-compliant banking in Pakistan by equipping professionals with the knowledge, skills, and regulatory awareness required in a rapidly evolving financial landscape.
