What the industry leaders are saying about WTC 2014

If not here’s why you shouldn’t miss the 9th Annual World Takaful Conference (WTC 2014):

“The Takaful industry has grown significantly as a viable Islamic alternative to conventional insurance. Though the global Takaful industry has witnessed strong progress, the development of related regulatory and supervisory frameworks has not kept pace and varies substantially between key Takaful markets. In many key countries, the Takaful market is becoming increasingly over-crowded with a number of domestic and international companies competing for a small pool of risks to cover. Industry-wide profit margins have been under pressure and previously strong growth rates have started to decelerate. In line with Dubai’s determination to become the global capital of the Islamic Economy, the Dubai Islamic Economy Development Centre is committed to creating an enabling environment to reignite the growth of the Takaful sector, as part of an integrated vision. The World Takaful Conference (WTC), will play a significant role in shaping the global Takaful industry and I look forward to discussing new strategies that will unlock the true potential of the sector.”

“A major challenge faced by the global Takaful industry is the lack of added value from the Retakaful industry leading to an over-representation of conventional reinsurers in the market. However, recent developments and the emergence of new sizeable Retakaful companies is an opportunity for the whole Takaful industry to have an integrated approach, and move to the next level. As the global Takaful industry is set to grow further, projected to hit the US$ 17 billion mark in 2015, a lot more additional participation and a leading role is needed in the Retakaful industry. To meet the demand, Retakaful companies must move from a follower to a more leadership position. We are very delighted to see strengthening the Retakaful industry as one of the key areas covered at this year’s World Takaful Conference and we are delighted to be supporting this prestigious gathering of international Takaful leaders as a Platinum Strategic Partner.”
