The Global Islamic Finance Summit is a Middle East-focused Islamic finance conference held as part of the GBM: Middle East 2026 festival. The summit brings together Islamic banks, Shariah-compliant divisions of conventional banks, investment funds, takaful operators, sukuk issuers and arrangers, regulatory bodies, sovereign wealth funds and government stakeholders to discuss the practical realities of scaling Islamic finance from a specialised segment into a mainstream asset class. With the global industry now surpassing USD 1 trillion in outstanding sukuk and USD 4-5 trillion in total Islamic finance assets, the agenda focuses on standardisation, liquidity, secondary-market depth and cross-border participations. The summit's networking floor is shared with the co-located Bonds, Loans & Sukuk Middle East, Global Private & Alternative Credit, and Global Markets Middle East events, giving delegates access to a broader fixed-income and capital-markets audience under one roof.
