finance world.

I would like to introduce you the content/theme of this issue. Our cover theme includes a study on sustainable finance models whose importance is increasing, especially during the pandemic. In the related section, Rector of Sabahattin Zaim University, Professor Dr. Mehmet Bulut, refers to the issue in
his article titled “Re-thinking Sustainable Finance”. The subject is further emphasised in the articles written by our member participation banks’ CEOs.

In this section we present our evaluations on various aspects, from the topics of Turkiye and Pakistan relations to how Pakistan developed in Islamic finance, by using an expert point of view.

We would like to present our gratitude to all the contributors for their valuable information and perspectives, as well as you readers. We would like to take this opportunity to wish Turkey and the entire Islamic world a happy Eid.
