INTRODUCTION
The First International Conference on Islamic Economics held in Makkah al-Mukarramah in 1976, was the watershed for the new discipline of ‘Islamic Economics’. Almost five decades later, the Kulliyyah of Economics and Management Sciences (KENMS) of the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) is once again honoured to manage and host the 15th International Conference on Islamic Economics and Finance for the third time, tentatively to be held from the Tuesday 12 to Thursday 14 December 2023 in Kuala Lumpur. The theme of the conference is Driving the Agenda for a Sustainable Humane Economy.

Recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, financial and economic crises coupled with challenges from climate change, provide the OIC countries an opportunity to embrace Islamic economics and finance as indigenous approaches to guide their economic policy responses. For this to happen, theoretical foundations of both Islamic economics and finance, as well as their links to policymaking and implementation need greater attention and integration. The world is complex and everything is connected to everything. Hence, proper planning is a part of developing a responsive and responsible Islamic Economics and Finance. The 15th ICIEF 2023 provides the platform for bringing together academics, researchers and policymakers from the Muslim world to discuss the challenges faced and how greater effort can be made towards achieving our preferred future.

OBJECTIVES
The teaching, research and practice of Islamic economics and finance have made tremendous strides globally over the last 50 years. The establishment of higher education institutions like the IIUM and development finance institutions like the Islamic Development Bank, respectively, have provided important avenues for practical implementation of education programs as well as increasing financing for economic and financial cooperation among OIC-member countries. It is important to plan for a sustainable humane future- one that recognises efficiency goes hand-in-hand with equity. However, in order to plan effectively, one must be aware of where we are, how we arrived here, what the challenges are, have a clear vision of where we want to go as well as a plan for the future. Development of research and practice of Islamic economics and finance requires commitment by all the stakeholders as well as the establishment of viable links between theory and policymaking by academics and policymakers.
 

Taking into account the state of the art and the direction of the fields of Islamic economics and finance, the 15th ICIEF focuses on the way forward toward developing the discipline of Islamic economics and finance and increasing their application especially in the economies of the OIC countries. Hence, the conference is devoted to not only theory development and application of the theory but also policy-related issues concerning, but not necessarily limited to, the following areas: Islamic Economics, Islamic Finance, Policy-Issues and Related areas in Sustainability, Shariah, Accounting, Management and Marketing.

Islamic Economics – Islamic economic system and Islamic economy; theoretical and policy studies to achieve sustainable humane development; historical and comparative economic studies; comparative economic models; Islamic economic thought; review articles useful as teaching materials at the university level.

Islamic Finance – emerging issues relating to sustainable Islamic finance; alternative financial and monetary systems from the Islamic perspective; Innovation, AI and FinTech; stability of Islamic financial system; risk-sharing in Islamic finance; Islamic finance infrastructure institutions.

Policy Issues and Prescriptions for the OIC countries – poverty and inequality; entrepreneurship development; micro and small enterprise development; legal, tax and regulatory frameworks from the Islamic economics perspective; Islamic monetary and fiscal policies including zakah and awqaf-based social safety-nets; economic indebtedness; the role of the IsDB in sustainable economic development; trade and cooperation among the OIC countries.

Other Related Areas – Sustainability, Maqasid al-Shariah and its relations to IEF; issues relating to Islamic accounting and its application to IEF; Islamic approaches to management and marketing; Islamic economics and finance education and research.
