Events - Takaful: A Viable Alternative
Source: Asia Insurance Review | Apr 2006
More than 100 delegates
from around the world attended the 2nd International Symposium on Takaful in
Langkawi, Malaysia, in February which gave updates on the takaful industry and
continued the discourse in takaful being a realistic alternative to conventional
insurance. Organised by the Islamic Conferences Group, the conference saw both
speakers and delegates debating on the huge potential of this class of business
in light of the fact that, although Muslim countries represent 25% of the world
population, it accounts for only about 5% of the global insurance premium. Our
Takaful Journalist Mr Hafiz Mohamed
fills in on the details.
