BANTEN – The development of national sharia finance and economy requires harmonious synergy across sectors and stakeholders, due to the extensive scope of potential and aspects that could be tapped in, including halal products, sharia finance, and sharia business. Then, the company starts to highlight the importance of sharia ecosystem infrastructure.

Islamic Financial Centre in Pantai Indah Kapuk 2, or IFC PIK-2, built circa 2019, is ready to accommodate this sharia economy ecosystem.

Those strategies include providing top services and optimalisation of sad zone, collaboration among sectors, participation of sharia business owners, both big and small scale, corporations and MSMEs alike, as well as involvement of younger generation.

“I believe, this sharia finance centre could reinforce national sharia economy ecosystem,” added Ma’ruf Amin.

IFC PIK-2 is said to be erected upon 12-hectare land. This complex will be used for various business activities in sharia finance and economy sector.

Aligning with Vice President’s vision to increase participation of younger generation, President Commissioner of Sharia Tower, Harianto Solichin, said that in the near future, IFC will issue its first sharia sukuk, in retail and liquid, aimed towards gen-Z and millennials.
