Dubai-based precious metals company strengthens its commitment to ethical, asset-backed finance by supporting the region’s premier Islamic finance gathering
OGold Precious Metals Trading LLC has been announced as the Technology Sponsor of the 5th CIS Islamic Banking & Finance Forum, organized by AlHuda Centre of Islamic Banking and Economics (CIBE). The forum will be held on July 9, 2026, in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, under the theme “Advancing Islamic Finance for Sustainable Growth Across CIS.”
The forum comes at a time when Islamic finance is gaining significant momentum across the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). Countries including Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, and Tajikistan are accelerating regulatory reforms, developing Sukuk frameworks, and expanding Shariah-compliant financial services to attract investment and strengthen financial inclusion.
As one of Central Asia’s fastest-growing economies, Uzbekistan has emerged as a regional hub for Islamic finance through its commitment to economic diversification and financial sector development, making Tashkent an ideal venue for this landmark event.
The one-day forum will bring together regulators, central bankers, Islamic financial institutions, investors, policymakers, Shariah scholars, and industry experts to discuss key developments in Islamic banking, regulatory frameworks, Sukuk, Takaful, Islamic fintech, Shariah governance, and sustainable finance. The event will conclude with the Islamic Finance Recognition Awards & Certification Ceremony, celebrating excellence across more than 20 categories within the Islamic finance industry.
Following the forum, AlHuda CIBE will conduct a two-day executive workshop (July 10–11, 2026) on Designing Shariah-Compliant Financial Products and Managing Risks in Islamic Banking, providing participants with practical knowledge and implementation strategies.
Mr. Muhammad Zubair, Managing Director of AlHuda CIBE, said: “We are pleased to welcome OGold as the Technology Sponsor of the forum. Their commitment to transparency, ethical investment, and asset-backed financial solutions closely aligns with the core principles of Islamic finance. This partnership reflects our shared vision of promoting sustainable and innovative Islamic financial ecosystems across the CIS region
Ahmed Abdeltawab, Co-founder of OGold, added: “The CIS region is rapidly emerging as an important market for Islamic finance. We are pleased to support this prestigious platform that brings together regulators, financial institutions, and industry leaders to exchange knowledge, strengthen partnerships, and contribute to the continued growth of Shariah-compliant finance.”
