In order to accommodate the need for increasing demand of knowledge and development of Islamic finance practices, Bank Indonesia officially launches Journal of Islamic Monetary Economics and Finance (JIMF) on August 6, 2015. JIMF is a peer-reviewed biannual journal, which is set to be published in August and February.
The development of Islamic economics and finance is not only concern with commercial aspects, but also it concerns with social aspects, such as zakah, infaq, shadaqah, and waqf.
Therefore, the integration between the social and commercial sector hopefully can provide significant leverage for poverty alleviation, financial access, and financial system stability. For the above reasons, JIMF raises such concern on its 1st International JIMF Call for Papers. The 1st JIMF Call for Papers constitutes one of the event series of Indonesia Sharia Economic Festival (ISEF) on 5-6 November 2015 in Surabaya, East Java-INDONESIA.
