Islamic Finance, FinTech, and the Road to Sustainability : Reframing the Approach in the Post-Pandemic Era

The recent unprecedented economic downturn and global supply chain disruption by the COVID-19 pandemic is accelerating the urgency for sustainable financing infrastructure that is agile, adaptable, and transformable.

Sustainability and the 4th Industrial Revolution are about more than just technology-driven change; it is an opportunity to help everyone, including leaders, policymakers and people from all income groups and nations, to navigate industry disruptions and transitioning to a new normal by harnessing converging technologies in order to create an inclusive, human-centered future.

The edited volume provides critical discussions on reframing the Islamic finance approach to sustainability and socio-economic development in the post-pandemic era.

It highlights how selected Islamic finance tools alongside FinTech can not only ensure financial sustainability but also promote socio-economic policies that will aid the much-desired value and impact creation in the economy.

The book focuses its analysis on the following three areas: reframing Islamic finance sustainability and socio-economic development;  innovative Islamic financial tools for sustainable and socio-economic impact; and the role of FinTech in the road to sustainability.

The edited volume will be of interest to scholars, researchers, and students of Islamic finance, sustainability, and financial technology.
