Dubai Chamber set to host Global Islamic Economy Summit

The Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry said the Global Islamic Economy Summit (GIES), which focuses on major developments in the Islamic economy, is set to take place Oct. 11 and 12 at Madinat Jumeirah. 

“The fact that influential leaders, decision makers and experts in key economic sectors have all converged in Dubai for the Global Islamic Economy Summit only goes to prove the emirate’s position as a true capital for the Islamic economy,” Majid Saif Al Ghurair, chairman of Dubai Chamber and board member of the Dubai Islamic Economy Development Center, said.
 
Al Ghurair noted Dubai’s efforts to bring awareness to how the Islamic economy functions. This year, the summit will focus on broad tropics, providing a forum for discussing innovative solutions for challenges within the economy.
 
“This year’s summit tackles themes and strategic issues that are relevant to both local and international stakeholders and, therefore, call for in-depth discussion to map out a clear future for the global economy – not just the Islamic domain,” said. Abdulla Mohammed Al Awar, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Islamic Economy Development Centre.
