UK to host Islamic economic forum London will host the ninth World Islamic Economic Forum in October, organizers have announced, the first time that the event will be held outside of a Muslim country, as the British capital looks to become a global hub for Sharia finance. More than 1,500 delegates, including government and business leaders, as well as scholars, will descend on London for the three-day event which sets out to boost trade partnerships between Islamic and European markets. Britain has the largest Islamic banking sector outside the Middle East and Asia. The World Islamic Economic Forum is organized by the Kuala Lumpur-based WIEF Foundation — a not-for-profit organization. Previous forums have been held in Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Malaysia and Pakistan. The ninth edition will be held at London’s Excel Center between October 29 and 31.
