This year’s theme raises the issue of “Sustainable Economic and Development, Islamic Social Finance and Welfare”. Sustainable economic development refers to the process of achieving economic growth and development without depleting natural resources or harming the environment, ensuring that future generations can meet their needs.

So with this theme we want to emphasizes a holistic approach to development that integrates sustainable economic practices with the ethical and social principles of Islamic finance, aiming to enhance overall welfare and achieve a more just and equitable society.
