Past Event
We are pleased to inform you that IIFM in collaboration with the Bankers Association for Finance and Trade (BAFT), is organizing a one-and-a-half-hour focused webinar on the ‘Islamic Master Participation Agreements for Trade Finance Transactions’.
Although the IIFM-BAFT Islamic Master Participation Agreements (Islamic MPAs) are well accepted and the wording is up to date, we believe the international financial community would be well served if the document was more widely used among the many possible counterparts globally. This webinar will provide a refresher on the basics of these document templates.
If you are involved in international trade, this is a must-attend webinar!
The details of the event are as follows:
