EPICENTRE March 2022: Malaysia as a global gateway for Islamic finance markets in Asia and OIC
FSBP2022-2026 unveils MIFC future vision and aspiration
 
Malaysia’s Financial Sector Blueprint 2022 - 2026 was recently launched and it sets out Bank Negara Malaysia's development priorities for the financial sector over the next five years. The Blueprint is anchored on efforts to foster market dynamism and support sustainable development objectives.

One of the thrusts of the Blueprint includes “Advance value-based finance through Islamic finance leadership”. Among others, the strategies for the next five years will seek to leverage Malaysia’s well developed Islamic finance ecosystem, particularly to sharpen Malaysia’s proposition as a global gateway for Islamic finance markets in Asia and OIC. 

In advancing the sharpened vision for MIFC, the strategies aim to:
  • Strengthen gateway-critical capabilities in Malaysia’s Islamic financial industry;
  • Promote greater industry leadership; and
  • Facilitate further deepening of Malaysia’s Islamic financial and capital markets.
