Certainly, the global Shariah-compliant finance industry has in itself undergone changes in the last few years in its quest to boost international competitiveness and build a sustainably profitable business model.

We are expecting to see a paradigm shift in Shariah-compliant banking towards customer-centric operating model. With such development driving our future growth, KFH’s agenda is currently governed by our new five-year strategy and transformation program. This will shape the way we do things at KFH – improving, enhancing and leveraging our performance as we embrace our new way of working. The KFH of tomorrow will be fundamentally focused on increasing our clarity, transparency and accountability. Sustainable development for KFH means considering both short and long term interests, integrating economic, environmental and social considerations in our decision making. While social responsibility has long been part of KFH’s culture – we are enthused by the prospect of breaking into targeted sustainability initiatives within the realms of the economy and the environment through our new strategy.
