"Standards Before Scale."

Speaking at the Inaugural Silk Road Finance & Technology Forum in Tashkent this week, Dr. Ghiath Shabsigh, Secretary-General of the IFSB, delivered a clear message on the future of Islamic digital finance: real growth requires rock-solid prudential foundations before scaling.

During his address, Dr. Ghiath emphasised that as Islamic finance risk profiles evolve, capital, liquidity, and supervision must look through contractual form to the economic substance of exposures. He highlighted that digitalisation should not simply replicate legacy structures in digital form, but must be harnessed to solve structural liquidity constraints and overcome market fragmentation. As financial systems become more interconnected, sound Sharīʻah governance and standardised prudential frameworks remain the bedrock of public trust and cross-border scale.

The IFSB Secretariat thanks the Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN) for the invitation, and our member and host, the Central Bank of Uzbekistan for hosting a transformative dialogue on shaping the future of digital Islamic finance.

It was a pleasure to host Mr. Shim Won, Finance Attaché with the Embassy of the Republic of Korea (seconded from the Bank of Korea) at the IFSB headquarters today.

Discussion centred on the evolving potential of Islamic finance within the Korean financial landscape and how the Bank of Korea can use its position as an Associate member of the IFSB to support awareness creation. The IFSB, among others, discussed potential facilitation of targeted awareness and training programmes to Bank of Korea and other relevant institutions, providing a solid foundation for understanding the Islamic finance ecosystem in the country.

We thank Mr. Shim Won for the visit.
