KUALA LUMPUR: Bank Negara Malaysia (BNM) and the Securities Commission (SC) have convened the inaugural Malaysia International Islamic Financial Centre (MIFC) Advisory Panel (MAP) meeting on Monday.

The MAP, an inter-agency advisory and consultation platform, was set up to strengthen Malaysia’s position as a leading global marketplace and international gateway for Islamic finance. MAP’s key roles were discussed.

This includes providing strategic guidance to refine and support the priorities of the MIFC Business Network, an industry-led platform to sharpen Malaysia’s international Islamic finance agenda. MAP will ensure industry-led initiatives are well-resourced and align with broader national economic strategies. — Bernama
