Finance Islamique France aims to provide a public debate about Islamic finance in France with a series of videos of key French players in the field of Islamic finance. The website aims to be a hub for Islamic finance in France.
Finance Islamique France is the initiative of Secure Finance, co-organizer of the French Islamic Finance Forum. The second forum is due to take place on 26 November 2008 in Paris. The forum, jointly organized with the French-Arabic Trade Chamber (CCFA), brings together key bankers from both French and Gulf banks and French authorities and regulators.
Jean-Paul Laramée, CEO of Secure Finance commented, “The event is all the more important this year as the French minister of Finance, Ms. Christine Lagarde, put in place a high level group to enable the issuance of the first sukuk in this country."
