IILM participated as a sponsor and exhibitor at the Kuala Lumpur Islamic Finance Forum (KLIFF) 2026.
IILM CEO Mohamad Safri Shahul Hamid joined the panel “Sukuk: Driving Innovation, Enhancing Liquidity and Scaling Global Issuance” alongside Jalalullail Othman of Shook Lin & Bok Malaysia as moderator; Prof. Dr. Engku Rabiah Adawiah Engku Ali, SAC of Bank Negara Malaysia and Securities Commission Malaysia; Dr. Mohamed Damak of S&P Global Ratings; Datuk Lukman Sheriff Alias of Zul Rafique & Partners; and Dr. Ayaz Ismail of CIMB Islamic Bank Berhad.
