MUSCAT: Under the patronage of His Highness Sayyid Numair bin Salim Al Said, the second edition of the Themar Islamic Banking Conference & Excellence Awards will be held on September 28, 2025, at the Intercity Hotel Muscat. This event, organised by The Arabian Stories (TAS), is designed to build momentum for Islamic finance in Oman by fostering dialogue, encouraging the adoption of best practices, and showcasing the sector’s contribution to the nation’s sustainable growth agenda.
The conference will serve as a major platform for banking leaders, financial experts, policymakers, and stakeholders from across the Sultanate to exchange insights and chart a roadmap for the future of Islamic banking. By facilitating discussions on the evolving landscape of Sharia-compliant finance, the event aims to highlight the resilience of the sector and its capacity to support economic diversification, financial inclusion, and innovation in Oman.
A key highlight of the event will be the Excellence Awards, which will recognise institutions and individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the Islamic banking and finance industry. This segment is expected to further motivate players in the market to uphold high standards of professionalism, innovation, and customer-centricity, thereby strengthening the overall credibility and growth prospects of the sector.
TAS has stated that the conference underscores its ongoing commitment to advancing the conversation around Islamic finance and ensuring its relevance in meeting the evolving needs of the economy. By bringing together experts and decision-makers in one forum, the event reinforces Oman’s position as a hub for Islamic banking thought leadership, providing a collaborative environment to develop strategies for sustainable growth and sector-wide excellence.
