Global Islamic Finance and Impact Investing Platform
Global Islamic Finance and Impact Investing Platform was established by the Islamic Development Bank (IDB) and UNDP’s Istanbul International Center for Private Sector in Development (IICPSD) on 5 May 2016, in Jakarta.
Engaging the private sector, governments, and key stakeholders operating in the Islamic finance and impact investing markets, the platform aims to promote market-based solutions to sustainable development challenges by creating a collaborative working space among these actors.
Vision
Position Islamic finance and impact investing as a leading enabler of global SDG implementation through private sector engagement.
Mision
The platform will strategize and nurture an Islamic finance and impact investing business ecosystem through:
- developing a spectrum of Sharia compliant impact investing tools and instruments, and
- improving the access of impact enterprises to Islamic funding
Global Islamic Finance SDG Taskforce, established by @uk_ifc , aims to explore the role the $3.8tn worth global #Islamicfinance industry can play in addressing SDG funding gap and to better understand the commercial opportunities the SDGs present for the sector.
