Global Islamic Finance Forum (GIFF) 2025
A key milestone was the launch of the world’s first Climate Sukuk — a joint initiative by Hong Kong-based Unity Group Holdings International Ltd and Labuan-based Tek Securities Ltd, issued through the Labuan IBFC.
Valued at RMB 200 million, the sukuk will finance certified carbon-credit projects under Selangor’s Green Initiative Programme, reinforcing Labuan IBFC’s role as a regional platform for green and sustainable Islamic finance.
Labuan IBFC Incorporated Sdn. Bhd. and the Association of Shariah Advisors in Islamic Finance Malaysia (ASAS) have formalised their strategic partnership through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).
In conjunction with the 8ᵗʰ GIFF 2025, Labuan IBFC Inc., the marketing arm of Labuan FSA, together with Kenanga Investment Bank Berhad, successfully hosted a post-forum session titled “Digitalising Maqasid al-Shariah: Islamic Finance for the Next Era"
The event examined how digital innovation and Shariah-aligned finance can drive ethical and inclusive growth in the age of Economy 4.0, focusing on the convergence of AI, tokenisation, and sustainable finance.
Drawing a full house of over 250 participants, the session gathered policy makers, Shariah scholars, industry leaders, investors, and fintech innovators, underscoring the growing momentum for Islamic digital transformation
