Summer Course – Islamic Economics Science

Program Overview

Islamic Social Finance (KSI) is a key instrument in addressing socio-economic challenges and promoting financial inclusion. The State of the Global Islamic Economy Report 2023/2024 highlights its growing integration with sustainability initiatives, supported by green and sustainable sukuk issuances and strengthened regulations.

In Indonesia, KSI—comprising zakat, infak, sedekah, and wakaf (ZISWAF)—plays a strategic role in economic development and social welfare. It effectively reduces poverty and inequality while supporting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including hunger alleviation and improved access to education and healthcare. Its development is guided by key national financial strategies.

Committed to advancing Islamic Social Finance, IPB University hosts the International Economic and Social Welfare Conference (IESWC) 2025 as a platform for global discussions on its role in education and research. The Department of Islamic Economics, Faculty of Economics and Management (FEM), IPB University, drives this initiative to strengthen international collaboration and enhance its academic and institutional impact.
