A few moments from today’s IMF Talent Attraction Mission at INCEIF University, where our members of the INCEIF community had the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas with representatives from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

We were pleased to welcome Mr Paul Murray, Deputy Division Chief, IMF and Ms Marina Agnese, Section Chief, Talent Attraction Policies, IMF, who shared insights into the IMF’s work, career pathways, the Economist Program and internship opportunities.

From conversations with our students to a little networking over coffee, the session was a chance to connect, ask questions and simply get to know the people behind a global institution.

Our Deputy President Operations (DPO), Mr Shazmeer Mokthar, was also among those who joined the conversation with the IMF team.

A good day at INCEIF 🤝🌍

What happens when the world of international finance comes to campus?

Today, the INCEIF community had the opportunity to meet Mr Paul Murray, Deputy Division Chief, International Monetary Fund (IMF) and Ms Marina Agnese, Section Chief, Talent Attraction Policies, IMF, during the IMF Talent Attraction Mission at INCEIF University.

It was a chance for our students to hear directly from people working within the IMF, learn what happens behind one of the world’s major international financial institutions, and discover where a career in economics, finance and policy could take them.

From the Economist Program and internship opportunities to an open Q&A and informal networking session, there was plenty to take away and plenty to ask.

Sometimes, career inspiration comes from a lecture. Sometimes, it comes from a conversation with someone who is already where you hope to be.

Today, that conversation happened right here at INCEIF. 🤝🌍

Sometimes, learning starts with simply picking up a book 📖

Yesterday, ISRA Corner officially opened its doors at Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), giving students a space to read, explore and discover more about Islamic finance from physical books and reference materials to research and insights available through i-FIKR.

The launch was officiated in the presence of Professor Dr Amir Shaharuddin, Director, Centre of Excellence for Islamic Social Finance, INCEIF University; Mr Mohd Ekmal Mohd Zazi, Regional Head, Consumer Banking, CIMB Islamic Bank Berhad; and Professor Dr Selamah Maamor, Assistant Vice-Chancellor, UUM College of Business (UUM COB) and Dean, Islamic Business School (IBS), UUM.

This marks the fifth ISRA Corner launched this year, with the support of CIMB Islamic Bank Berhad.

A little corner, perhaps. But hopefully one that sparks plenty of questions, ideas and conversations along the way.

Prof. Dr. Aishath Muneeza's participation underscores INCEIF University's continued commitment to advancing global thought leadership, fostering international academic and industry collaboration, and contributing to the transformation of Islamic finance into a more inclusive, innovative and impactful financial system.
