Bridging Markets: Advancing Islamic Liquidity Management & Nigeria’s Pivotal Role in Shaping Islamic Finance in Africa
4 – 5 December 2025
Abuja, Nigeria
The IILM was delighted to conclude a two-day training workshop with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in Abuja from 4–5 December 2025, aimed at strengthening Nigeria’s Islamic liquidity management capabilities.
The programme brought together participants from CBN, Nigeria’s financial institutions, and international partners to deepen technical understanding of Shari’ah-compliant liquidity instruments, regulatory frameworks, and the practical application of short-term IILM Ṣukūk.
Over the two days, experts from the IILM, CBN, Bank Indonesia, and leading Nigerian Islamic banks led discussions on Islamic liquidity tools and global best practices, the IILM’s cross-border Ṣukūk issuance framework, asset–liability management and market development strategies, as well as Nigeria’s ambitions to become a leading Islamic finance hub in Africa.
This joint initiative reflects the IILM’s continued commitment to supporting regulators and market players in advancing effective, high-quality Shari’ah-compliant liquidity management.
