Realising A Sustainable Humane Economy 1
<\/strong><\/p>

The World Inequality Report 2022 reveals a century-long trend of increasing global inequality, with the wealthiest 10% owning 76% of household wealth. Despite increases in global per capita GDP, the effectiveness of current economic systems to deliver social development and justice remains questionable, as highlighted by the significant shortcomings in achieving SDG targets in the Southeast Asian region (UNDP Asia and the Pacific SDG Progress Report 2023). Challenges such as undernourishment, food security, inequality, and an ageing population persist. While Islamic economics offers an ethical alternative, its holistic implementation remains a challenge. Could genuine holistic well-being for humanity be truly achieved?<\/p>

    Financing A Sustainable Humane Economy: Moving Islamic Banking & Finance Forward<\/strong><\/p>

    Though the $4 trillion Islamic Banking and Finance (IBF) sector has outpaced the growth of the global financial sector for some time, it still faces significant challenges in developing indigenous frameworks that would impact socioeconomic well-being more substantially and directly. Amidst various opportunities and threats within the global economy, alternative models like Islamic social finance (ISF) and fintech-integration are gaining more relevance, posing long-term questions for the Islamic finance industry. Should IBF play a more central role in shaping a humane economy? Are emerging narratives like ESG and VBI sufficient for creating a more inclusive financial system? What are the roles of the government and other key stakeholders in achieving a just monetary system?<\/p>

      Plenary 3:
      Realising A Sustainable Humane Economy 2<\/strong><\/p>

      The economic system, the means through which value is created, is at the core of realizing a humane and meaningful existence. However, clear evidence exists to support the notion that the economic system serves some, while neglecting many. This has led to the emergence of alternative economic concepts and models like the Circular economy and socially responsible investing, that have gained prominence. While these have received eager acceptance among Islamic economists in general, critics have cautioned that these additions do not sufficiently tackle the fundamental values of the mainstream economic system, to transform it into one built on humane values and universal ethics. To them, transformative change occurs at the grassroots level, where values at the individual level translate into inclusive well-being for the whole society. Not addressing Neoclassical values results in \u2018green-washing\u2019 that still serves the few at the cost of the many. This session attempts to rationalise the extent to which alternative constructs in economics provide transformative solutions.<\/p>

        <\/strong>Financing A Sustainable Humane Economy: Role of Social Responsible Investment<\/strong><\/p>

        The growth of Islamic financial assets in sectors like Islamic Banking and Finance (IBF) and Islamic Social Finance (ISF) presents significant opportunities for funding sustainable social development. Malaysia, boasting the largest global sukuk market valued at $285 billion in 2023, holds substantial funding potential. However, critics view the current Shari\u2019ah-compliance framework as minimal, which needs to focus more on social development and human welfare (maslahah). Socially responsible investing has deeper meaning than fulfilling a set of industry-based and juristic criteria. The impact of such investments should tangibly and sustainably contribute to economic and social inclusion and well-being. However, what kind of incentives exist for the global sukuk industry and Islamic venture capital markets to internalize such norms?<\/p>

          As Islamic finance has rapidly expanded globally, with banks and financial institutions seeking to adhere to Islamic principles in their economic activities, continuous efforts to improve the curriculum and teaching of Islamic Economics and Finance must be undertaken to produce qualified human resource in this area. The development of reference\/teaching materials is one of the key components needed to nurture human resource equipped with desired qualities.<\/p>
