Born out of a passion for our country, and with a vision to put Pakistan on the global IT map, Si3 whole-heartedly supports "Pakistan International Islamic Banking & Money Market Conference 2006" for the second year running, a prestigious event that projects the strengths of Pakistan's Financial Industry on an international stage.
With this year's event, Pakistan takes another step in its quest to become a significant destination in the global Islamic banking industry. Our resources and hi-end skill sets can match that available elsewhere in the world, in terms of services, products and quality people.
This Conference gives a platform of high credibility to stakeholders, contributing significantly to sharing intellectual capital for this emerging sector, about the flexibility of Banking & Financial Services, also giving impetus to professionals to excel in this field.
Si3 believes in setting world-class standards in Pakistan, and are pleased to have forged a relationship with Islamic Capital Partners, an association that has activities aligned with our commitment to excellence. With the masses moving from conventional banking towards Sharia' compliant financing, the Conference this year promises interactive discussions between Sharia' scholars as well as conventional bankers, expressing their views on current issues faced by this emerging sector today. Untapped potential of the rural segment remains an area for growth.
I welcome the Islamic Banking Conference speakers and delegates, and advocate their efforts to establish benchmarks in their respective disciplines, and wish them success in their endeavours.
