About the Publisher

Islamic Finance Review (IFR) is a United Kingdom–based research, education, and publishing platform dedicated to advancing knowledge in Islamic finance, economics, banking, and sustainable development. Established with the vision of promoting ethical and Shari‘ah-compliant financial systems, IFR serves as a bridge between academia, industry, and policy — connecting scholars, practitioners, and institutions across the globe.

As the publisher of the Journal of Islamic Banking, Economics and Policy (JIBEP), IFR provides a professional platform for high-quality research dissemination, academic collaboration, and policy engagement. The organization also hosts conferences, workshops, and capacity-building programmes focused on Islamic and ethical finance, ESG, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Complementing its publishing activities, IFR has recently established Equra College London, an academic and professional training institution that extends IFR’s educational vision into structured learning programmes. Equra College offers diplomas, professional certifications, and continuing professional development (CPD) courses in fields such as Islamic finance, accounting, business, and sustainable economics — empowering students and professionals to align ethical principles with real-world financial and policy challenges.

Together, IFR and Equra College London form a holistic ecosystem that integrates research, education, and practice. This synergy reflects IFR’s long-term commitment to nurturing global expertise, supporting equitable economic growth, and ensuring that high-quality knowledge in Islamic and ethical finance remains accessible to all.
