1st INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ISLAMIC AND HALAL ECONOMICS STUDIES (ICIHES 2023)
3rd INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ISLAMIC LAW, ECONOMICS AND FINANCE (SPEKI 2023)

29 – 30 November 2023 | Putrajaya Marriott Hotel, Malaysia

“Halal Economy”

Currently, the global halal industry is worth a trillion dollars. Businesses around the globe are eager to penetrate this lucrative market. In recent decades, religious demand has driven the Halal Economy to a distinct segment of the global supply chain. Non-Muslim consumers prefer halal products for reasons of sanitation, quality, hygiene, and safety. In 2021, the equivalent of $2 trillion was spent by 1.9 billion Muslims in the pharmaceutical, food, fashion, cosmetics, travel, media, and recreation industries, which were influenced by Islamic-faith-inspired ethical consumption needs. In 2021, Islamic finance assets are projected to have increased by 7.8% from USD 3.4 trillion in 2020 to USD 3.6 trillion. This expenditure represents an 8.9% increase from the prior year.Malaysia's Halal Economy sector is a significant contributor to its GDP, but it lacks the capacity to produce high-value-added products and services that would increase its competitiveness in the global Halal Economy market. To leverage this opportunity, emerging players must comprehend the current situation in order to develop and implement growth and sustainability strategies for the industry. Therefore, this conference aims to provide a platform and opportunity for practitioners, scholars, researchers, academicians, graduate students, NGOs and others from all over the world to converge and be proactively engaged in intellectual discourse on Halal Economy discussion, to explore new ideas and present the latest research findings related to all issues on Halal Economy either locally or internationally, in relations to the current phenomena pervading the Muslim communities.
