COVID-19 has disrupted the world as we know it and is pushing governments, businesses and policymakers to take exceptional measures to fight it. In this session, we will learn what strategies leaders can adopt and whether the global economy needs a reset.

Discussion Points:

• If not now, then when? Resetting the economy through a holistic approach to the Islamic economic model.
• Government and policymakers: should they tweak at the edges or reform root and branch?
• Practical areas to address: SDGs/ESG, riba-free certification, bailouts: the 1% or the 99%?
• Has the Islamic finance industry done enough? Repositioning for a bold new future: is it time to support a new champion?
