Islamic banking continues to play a growing role in Pakistan’s financial landscape, with increasing participation from both conventional and Islamic financial institutions. Initiatives like IBCC-73 highlight the importance of structured training programs in ensuring that banking professionals are equipped to meet the sector’s expanding needs. The emphasis on capacity building also reflects the broader strategy to make Islamic finance more accessible, efficient, and aligned with international best practices.
The program’s face-to-face format allows participants to engage directly with the trainer, exchange professional experiences, and build networks with peers from various commercial banks. Such interaction fosters collaborative learning and encourages knowledge sharing, which is vital for sustainable growth in the Islamic finance sector.
