Kuwait Finance House (KFH) CEO Mohammed Al-Omar will head a KFH delegation to attend meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank that will be held from 23 to 25 September at Washington. The event will allow KFH officials to be familiarized with developments occurring in the global economy, in addition to the challenges and consequences of the economic crisis. The delegation will also have the opportunity to raise awareness concerning Islamic banking contributions and developments that affect the global economy through meeting with executives from major international corporations and companies.

It is worth noting that the meetings will be held amidst talks about the importance of allowing Islamic banking to be an important alternative in the global economy; especially that Islamic banking managed to face the global financial crisis. Moreover, KFH officials will meet with senior financial figures to strengthen relationships and exchange ideas and information about the growth potential of the global economy, especially in the GCC area. KFH is keen to efficiently take part in such international meetings, in order to explain the concepts of the Islamic banking field that it spearheads.
