​ This lecture series is in memory of Saleh Kamel, the father of modern Islamic finance, entrepreneur, philanthropist, leader and a key figure in shaping the modern Middle East.

​After a special presentation by Patron of The Adam Smith Institute The Rt. Hon Nadhim Zahawi MP, there will be a panel discussing Saudi Arabia’s role in innovation and entrepreneurship, and how Islamic finance will be a long-standing part of the British economy, followed by a Q & A. This will be chaired by Chairman of the ASI, James Lawson.

​Following the event, the Adam Smith Institute will be producing a white paper which will discuss Islamic finance, how it came about, what challenges it faces in modern markets and in policy, and how it can be best utilised to benefit the British economy.
