In 2024, Universitas YARSI organized “NGISI (Ngaji Integrasi Sains dan Islam/Integration of Science and Islam Study) YARSI 56th Session” with the theme “Sharia-Compliant Hedging Transactions on Exchange Rate” as a response to the urgency of providing deep understanding to the academic community about exchange rate protection mechanisms in the context of Islamic principles. This activity addresses the increasingly complex challenges of global economics and exchange rate market volatility that require financial solutions that are not only technically effective but also compliant with Islamic values. Speaker Dr. Chandra Yusuf, S.H., LL.M., M.B.A., M.Mgt. (Head of Notary Master’s Program at Universitas YARSI) will explain legal and Islamic finance aspects of hedging transactions, connecting modern economic theory with Islamic muamalat principles. Moderator Amir Mahmud, Lc., LL.M. (Lecturer of Faculty of Law at YARSI) will guide in-depth interactive discussion about practical implications of Sharia-compliant hedging instruments in the context of Indonesian business and investment. The event is open to academicians, students, legal practitioners, and finance professionals who wish to enhance their understanding of financial solutions compliant with Sharia principles in managing exchange rate risks.
The NGISI YARSI 56th program emphasizes the urgency of building community capacity in understanding and implementing Sharia-compliant hedging instruments relevant to Indonesia’s modern economic needs. This activity is designed to increase Islamic finance literacy among academics, legal practitioners, and business professionals, integrating knowledge of global financial market mechanisms with Islamic principles governing fair and ethical business transactions. Through this integration, Universitas YARSI aims to prepare a generation of professionals capable of developing innovative financial solutions that are not only profitable but also compliant with Islamic values and sustainable. This event supports the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) Goal 4: Quality Education by providing continuous learning on Islamic finance instruments, Goal 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth by preparing professionals competent in Islamic economics, and Goal 17: Partnerships for the Goals through collaboration between educational institutions and professional communities in building a strong and sustainable Islamic finance ecosystem in Indonesia.
