BOJ Fukui to address Islamic finance seminar Feb 23


TOKYO, Jan 23 (Reuters) - Bank of Japan (BOJ) Governor Toshihiko Fukui will speak at a symposium on Islamic finance on Saturday, Feb. 23, in Tokyo, the central bank said in a statement.

He will speak from 1:05 p.m. to 1:20 p.m. (0405-0420 GMT), the central bank said on Wednesday.

The BOJ joined the Islamic Financial Services Board as an observer member last year in a bid to learn more about Islamic finance, one of the fastest-growing markets in the world.

The IFSB is an international body setting standards for Islamic finance.
