BoT Islamic Finance Ecosystem Tour in Bahrain
It gives great pleasure to see that despite the country's lock-down in the past week, The Bank of Tanzania (BoT) delegate has finally made it to Bahrain with initial objective of attending the IsDB and AAOIFI Annual Islamic Finance Conference as well as Capacity Building Sessions that have been ongoing since Saturday, 1 November 2025.
This dedication of the regulator to he Islamic Finance sector in Tanzania is highly appreciated by us as players in the industry in Tanzania, but most importantly, highly commended by the Islamic Finance Infrastructure Organizations that we have met so far, and they have used this occasion as a motivational factor to participants from other countries by openly telling them *You see how Tanzania is serious with reforms in Islamic Finance, the Central Bank has sent their delegate all the way and for all these number of days*.
As we are about to finish capacity building initiatives, the delegate is geared to proceed with a specifically tailored tour for the Islamic Finance Ecosystem organizations in Bahrain and explore how they have made the strides to where they are with the aim to take lessons on the best practices that once adopted, customized and applied to our environment, can enable a shift from where we are to a much better position in Islamic Finance.
Once again, this move is highly appreciated and the World sees that after efforts of motivating individual participants and institutional representations to these events, now regulators have taken this on a more serious note, especially when in all meetings the discussions are more on *what do you think we can do to make our environment more convenient for Islamic Finance to grow in our jurisdiction*.
Aluta Continua....
