DOHA: Qatar Islamic Bank (QIB), Qatar’s leading Islamic Bank, yesterday announced that it is the main sponsor of the ADFIMI International Development Forum. The forum, held under the auspices of Qatar Central Bank (QCB), will take place during April 25-26, at the Ritz Carlton in Doha under the patronage of QCB Governor H E Sheikh Abdullah bin Saud Al Thani. ADFIMI, which stands for Association of National Finance Development Institutions in Member Countries of the Islamic Development Bank, started its operations back in 1987 to support sustainable economic development across the region.
