Growing Beyond: DNA of Successful TransformationThe WIBC Competitiveness Report is a ground-breaking initiative designed to not only identify but also to raise the bar of competitive excellence, strategic leadership and performance improvement in the industry. Now in its 9th year, the Competitiveness Report has rapidly evolved into an indispensable reference resource for the key decision-makers in the global Islamic banking & finance industry. The Ernst & Young World Islamic Banking Competitiveness Report 2012/13 will explore the key trends and success strategies deployed by leading Islamic banks. The Report will examine Islamic banks’ efforts to penetrate the mainstream retail customers. The groundbreaking report will also explore the road map being adopted by Islamic banks to make a transition to a double-compliant model, i.e., excellence in banking operations topped up by exceptional Shari’ah proposition.
The eagerly anticipated report will be exclusively launched on-site at the 19th Annual World Islamic Banking Conference (WIBC 2012) in an exclusive session on the 10th of December 2012.

Growing Beyond: DNA of Successful Transformation
Half yearly results are out and 2012 looks to be another difficult yearfor Islamic banks in terms of profitability. This comes at a time when conventional giants are under unprecedented regulatory scrutiny and several European banks are deleveraging and curtailing operations in emerging markets. Clearly for Islamic banks, achieving the second trillion dollars is about demonstrating exceptional value to mainstream customers.
This demands unconventional leadership, to build a business architecture that will help win in the retail market. Ernst & Young’s World Islamic Banking Competitiveness Report 2012-13 examines Islamic banks’ efforts to penetrate the mainstream retail customers. The groundbreaking report also explores the road map being adopted by Islamic banks to make a transition to a double-compliant model, i.e., excellence in banking operations topped up by exceptional Shari’ah proposition.

ISLAMIC FINANCE: ADAPTING TO THE NEW DYNAMICS OF GLOBAL FINANCE
19th Annual
“The global Islamic banking and finance industry has been on a steady and consistent growth path and has made tremendous progress over the past decade, with recent reports indicating that its total asset base has now exceeded $1tr. However it is still less than one percent of global banking assets and this highlights the vast potential for further growth. The recent financial crisis has given Islamic finance the perfect opportunity to play a key part in building a sustainable economic structure and make significant contributions to economic growth not only in its key markets, but across the globe. For 19 years the World Islamic Banking Conference (WIBC) has been at the forefront of supporting the development of the global Islamic banking and finance industry. As a trusted leading Islamic financial institution offering a comprehensive range of financial solutions and contributing to social development, Ithmaar Bank is delighted to be supporting this important gathering of international industry leaders.”
Mohammed Bucheerei, Chief Executive Officer and Member of the Board, Ithmaar Bank
“Due to its substantial growth and reliability, Islamic finance has now become a global phenomenon with a number of non-Muslim countries also showing keen interest in this dynamic industry. While the conventional banking and finance industry recuperates from the effects of the global financial crisis, there is now an excellent opportunity for Islamic finance to prove its competitiveness and enhance its profile in the global financial landscape. This calls for a stronger industry architecture that would allow for the most efficient functioning of the industry not only within national economies but also across borders. The World Islamic Banking Conference (WIBC) with its very high-profile international participation, sets the perfect stage for such discussions. We are delighted to be supporting this unique global gathering.”
Mohamed Jamil Berro, Group Chief Executive Officer, Al Hilal Bank
What the industry leaders are saying about WIBC 2012“The last few years have witnessed a truly global financial system where financial markets and institutions no longer stop at national borders. Though a globalised financial system delivers many benefits, it has also provided the perfect mechanism for the transmission of contagion from one part of the world to another, fuelling the geographic spread of the recent financial crisis. The fact that Islamic finance has its largest presence in rapidly growing economies that have been least affected by the global financial crisis, presents the Islamic finance industry with tremendous opportunities. If Islamic finance is to make the most of these opportunities, the industry will have to strengthen its foundations and adapt to the new realities in the global financial framework, just as the foundations of conventional finance are now being strengthened. The theme for this year’s 19th Annual World Islamic Banking Conference (WIBC 2012) “Islamic Finance: Adapting to the New Dynamics of Global Finance” points at these challenges and opportunities and I hope that the discussions at this important gathering of industry leaders will play a key role in further strengthening the industry. The Central Bank of Bahrain is once again delighted to be supporting this prestigious international event.”
H.E. Rasheed M. Al Maraj, Governor, Central Bank of Bahrain
“Against the backdrop of unprecedented developments, and despite a host of challenges that lie ahead, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and American businesses remain optimistic about the future prospects for Bahrain and the broader Middle East region. As markets continue to integrate globally and emerging markets become larger players on the world stage of international finance, the Chamber will continue to advocate for free and fair trade and open access to U.S. markets. This includes enhancing the abilities of American companies through modernizing U.S. export controls and encouraging the globalization of our capital markets. The World Islamic Banking Conference (WIBC) provides an important platform for international leaders and experts to develop their ideas and explore opportunities that can benefit businesses and nations around the world.”
David C. Chavern, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, U.S. Chamber of Commerce
“Continuing on its successful high growth trajectory, the Islamic finance industry is now poised for its next phase of global expansion. As a unique form of financial intermediation, Islamic finance incorporates several elements that guide the process of the mobilisation and allocation of funds to generate productive economic activity and inclusive development thereby becoming an important avenue for international fund raising and investment activities, generating significant cross-border flows. As Islamic finance extends its reach to serve the global community and becomes an integral part of the global financial system, it will need to better synchronize with the new dynamics of the post-crisis global financial landscape. The National Commercial Bank (NCB) has been supporting the World Islamic Banking Conference for many years now and we see this event as one of those important global gatherings which undoubtedly plays a key role in facilitating dialogue among the international industry leaders on shaping the future of the industry. We are once again delighted to be partnering with WIBC 2012 and we look forward to the critical discussions at this year’s event.”
Abdul-Kareem Abu Al-Nasr, Chief Executive Officer, The National Commercial Bank
