The AlBaraka Forum held the 6th AlBaraka Forum Regional Conference on 19 & 20 January 2026 at the Pearl Continental Hotel, Karachi, under the theme “Islamic Economy in the Digital Age: Innovation within the Framework of Compliance”. On this occasion, H.E. Mr. Yousef Hassan Khalawi, Secretary General of AlBaraka Forum for Islamic Economy, assured that Islamic finance now has the potential to be on the same stage as conventional banking, as both enter the digital age at the same moment, asking the question: “Will we follow the same trend for the last fifty years? No. From today, by entering this age, either you choose to be innovative, or again, you will be number two, always like before.”
