About
The Center of Research Excellence for Islamic Banking & Finance (CEIF)
was established in June of 2009 as part of Ministry of Education’s initiative
(formerly Ministry of Higher Education) to encourage scientific research and
development in vital and promising areas. KFUPM established CEIF in recognition
of the importance of Islamic finance for the development of financial markets in
the kingdom and the world. Since then, CEIF has made a great effort in building
its infrastructure, conducting workshops, providing training and producing
scientific research in the field of Islamic finance. In 2012, the center
received a generous gift from Abdelrahman Saleh Al Rajhi & Family Foundation to
carry on its excellent research and educational mission. To ensure our success,
we capitalize on our major competitive advantage of leveraging the knowledge
expertise of the College of Industrial Management (CIM), the region’s leading
business school known for its reputable educational and research programs.
