International Conference on Banking and Finance (5th ICBF) | IslamicBanker | 17 July 2017 | School of Economics and Business,, Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina

The International Conference on Banking and Finance (ICBF) was first organized by Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM) in 2000. ICBF serves as a great platform for academics and researchers to present and share the findings of their studies. In addition, it also provides an opportunity for academics and practitioners to discuss and exchange ideas pertaining to current research issues, best practices and practical experience gathered in all areas of finance and banking. For this 5th ICBF, the School of Economics, Finance and Banking of UUM is collaborating with the School of Economics and Business of the University of Sarajevo to hold the conference in Bosnia Herzegovina. A particular highlight is the holding of a workshop on Computable General Equilibrium models (CGE) for scholars and researchers that concludes the conference.

The theme of this conference, "Inclusion, Inequality, and Financial Stability - New Challenges" is suggested by the momentous changes, in both thought and practice, taking place in banking and finance. In this spirit, we invite papers on all the traditional areas listed below and also welcome novel analyses and solutions - whether it be on shadow banking, cross-border flows, negative interest rates, regional economic blocs, or the political choice of monetary systems.
