First of all, I wish to extend my appreciation to the Monetary Authority of Singapore and the organizers for inviting me to speak at this 4th World Islamic Banking Conference Asia Summit 2013. I am honoured and delighted to be able to share the platform with such a distinguished panel of speakers and to share my views with an impressive cross section of participants from the Islamic finance industry. I am also encouraged by the turnout this morning, not only in terms of the size but also the diversity of the delegates, which reinforces my belief that Islamic finance is firmly on its way towards achieving mainstream recognition at the global level.
