Collaborating with Bank Indonesia, Hajj Financial Management Agency to Hold International Hajj Conference

Holiday Ayo - The Hajj Financial Management Agency (BPKH) is again participating in the Indonesia Sharia Economic Forum (ISEF) 2022. In collaboration with Bank Indonesia, BPKH will hold an International Hajj Conference as part of the ISEF 2022 series which will be held on 7 October 2022.

As cited from liputan6.com, the Secretary of the BPKH Agency, Emir Rio Krishna, explained that the 2022 International Hajj Conference will discuss the theme of Digitization and Inclusivity in the Hajj Ecosystem.

"The theme will be discussed by inviting Keynote Speakers and panelists from various government agencies, financial institutions, and business practitioners from within and outside the country," explained Emir.

ISEF is the largest annual event in Indonesia that serves as a forum for the integration of various activities in the Islamic economy and finance sector (Eksyar).

ISEF in its journey has evolved from national-scale activities to international-scale activities where since 2019 BPKH has participated through International Seminars. ISEF itself has become an event to be reckoned with in the world's Exyar event calendar.

The 9th ISEF event in 2022 will be held on October 5-9 in a hybrid manner with the theme Recover Together Recover Stronger: Optimizing Sharia Economy and Finance for Inclusive Recovery, in line with the theme of the G20 Indonesia Presidency.

Emir Rio Krishna further explained that technological advances have had a significant impact in various sectors. Through digital transformation, many people are benefiting from improved services in various sectors. Within the Hajj Ecosystem, there are trends emerging from this digital transformation.

In addition, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is currently developing a digital registration system for pilgrims who wish to perform the pilgrimage. This will bring about a change in the way the registration procedure must be carried out by pilgrims.

"BPKH has also implemented digitalization in the management of hajj funds, where the benefits of hajj funds are distributed to pilgrims through virtual accounts. This has encouraged the inclusivity of financial services to hajj pilgrims and realized the accountability of the management of hajj funds," explained the Emir.

As is known, the International Hajj Conference will be held on Friday 7 October 2022 at 09.00 to 16.00 in a hybrid way via Zoom and Youtube BPKH and directly at the Jakarta Convention Center.
