Afdhal Aliasar to Illuminate Halal Economy Potential at KLIFF 2024

DinarStandard’s Senior Partner, Afdhal Aliasar, is set to join the distinguished panel at the Kuala Lumpur Islamic Finance Forum (KLIFF) 2024. As a thought leader in Islamic finance, Aliasar will contribute his insights during Session 3, titled Accentuating Halal Economy Potential in Islamic Finance, scheduled for November 5, 2024. This session aims to explore how Islamic finance can serve as a pivotal force in harnessing and amplifying the growth of the halal economy—a sector witnessing significant global expansion.

Afdhal Aliasar, renowned for his expertise in strategic advisory within the halal and Islamic finance sectors, joins an elite lineup of speakers, including representatives from Hong Leong Islamic Bank, Bank Muamalat Malaysia Berhad, and CIMB Islamic, among others. With his extensive experience in market intelligence and consultancy at DinarStandard, Aliasar is expected to discuss key strategies for integrating halal economic principles into Islamic finance, fostering an inclusive, sustainable economic ecosystem that aligns with Shariah principles.

The session, moderated by Ahmad Jailanee Bery Abdullah from Bank Simpanan Nasional, will cover emerging opportunities and challenges in the convergence of halal and Islamic finance. As the halal economy expands its footprint across various sectors—including food, pharmaceuticals, and lifestyle—the forum’s discourse will highlight strategies for leveraging Islamic financial products to support this growth. KLIFF 2024 promises to be an influential platform for industry stakeholders to synergize and drive forward the vision of a globally robust halal economy.
