KABUL, Nov. 7 (Xinhua) — A delegation from Afghanistan’s central bank attended the 19th annual conference on Islamic banking and finance, organized by the Accounting and Auditing Organization for Islamic Financial Institutions (AAOIFI) in Bahrain, according to a statement released by the bank on Thursday.
The delegation was led by Noor Ahmad Agha, acting governor of Afghanistan’s central bank. The two-day conference brought together nearly 300 representatives from various Islamic countries, the statement added.
In his remarks at the opening ceremony, Agha called on the AAOIFI, the Islamic Development Bank, and other relevant institutions to support capacity-building, training initiatives, enhanced management, and the development of a sustainable, efficient, and resilient financial and economic system in Afghanistan.
The AAOIFI is an independent, international non-profit body that sets standards for accounting, auditing, governance, ethics, and Shari’ah compliance in the Islamic financial sector. ■
