The establishment of the OIC and IDB has also provided important avenues for the practical implementation of programs aimed at increasing economic and financial cooperation among member countries. While we can be proud of, and continue to develop Islamic Banking and Finance, we must also admit that there is also growing skepticism that IBF cannot sustain itself without theoretical foundations and that OIC countries will not adopt Islamic economics unless viable connections be made to link policy to valid Islamic economic theory, and this journey of linking theory and policy is only just starting. More serious work is needed to enhance the theoretical and applied studies in Islamic economics, banking and economic cooperation among Muslim countries. Realizing the importance of continuous assessment on the progress of the discipline and the extent of its development and applications, ICIE2013 is organized. Taking the state of the art and the direction of the field into account, we propose that this conference would focus on the development of the discipline and its application in the economies of OIC countries.

The theme of the conference is 'Islamic Economic Solutions for OIC Countries: Theory and Policy'. As the world struggles to recover from increasingly frequent financial and economic crises, OIC countries have the opportunity to embrace Islamic economics as an indigenous approach to guide their economic policy responses. However, for this to meaningfully happen, both the Islamic theoretical foundations and their connections to policy making and implementation must be given greater attention and be integrated. ICIE2013 provides a platform to bring together both academics and policy makers to discuss how greater effort can be made in this direction.

It is hoped that the papers presented in this conference will serve not only to evaluate our past performance, but to also chart out possible directions to follow in the future, at both the theoretical and policy levels. In addition, this conference will serve as a forum for academicians, policy makers and implementers, practitioners, professionals, students and other interested parties to argue, criticize, and discuss the various topics to be covered.
