Lecture 1 : Rifki Ismal  /  Islamic Economy and Finance in Indonesia

Lecture 2 : Dece Kurniadi  /  Hajj Fund in Indonesia

On December 28, 2018, the last academic event of the Southeast Asia Center at SNUAC invited two special lecturers on the recent changes in the Islamic financial system in Indonesia. Indonesia is often referred to as the latecomer and Malaysia as the frontrunner regarding the global Islamic financial market which was established since the 1970s. There are differences and similarities between the Indonesian and Malaysian models. For example, Indonesia benchmarked Malaysia by launching the National Committee of Sharia Finance (KNKS) in 2017. The seminar concluded with discussions on Indonesia’s plan to activate Islamic financial products more devotedly grounded on Sharia principles reflecting Indonesian views on the Malaysian Islamic financial product as less sharia-compliant.
