The important point of the four presentations is that Islamic Economics must implement a sharia financing mechanism. The purpose of the Islamic economic system is to provide the tools and how to achieve equity for society. The Islamic economy must prioritize the halal industry, Islamic social finance, financing for micro and ultra-micro, as well as halal guarantees in terms of production, sales and marketing. These must be integrated with each other to have a competitive advantage to the global market and domestic market. Besides being integrated, it is also necessary to support ecosystem infrastructure between human capital, branding, and regulation.
