I. Statement of the problematic: The global economic mobility in recent decades have shown the influential importance of the financial industry and its products and institutions on the economic, financial and monetary stability at the local, regional and international levels; and how it relates to and integrates with the various pillars of the institutional system of the global economy. Monetary and financial crises, both global and regional, have evolved starting with the 80 s crisis of the financial markets, then the crisis of Southeast Asia that stretched its impacts to reach Russia and the countries of Latin America; all the way to the 2008 crisis that shook the financial and banking sector, then the current sovereign debt crisis in the European Union and its negative repercussions on the international economy. All of these crises have hit the capitalist economy at the heart of its ideas and the essence of its theories and showed the limited efficiency of conventional banking industry. The financial and monetary crises also showed the widening gap between real economic circle and the financial and monetary one. This fact is reflected in the huge rise in the value of financial derivatives traded which exceeded $ 077 trillion, whereas the total global output has not exceeded 07 trillion dollars. The financial products of the financial engineering operations, which was aimed at the development of the financial industry by creating mechanisms that enable them to effectively manage the risk of their assets, have turned into a mechanism for the production and transfer of risk; and therefore multiply the effects of the crises. The need for the continuity of the financial industry and its evolution so as to match the level of economic transformations and the investment financing needs is subject to the adoption of the new rules for the financial innovation operations and the creation of alternative mechanisms of the financial industry that preserve the financial balances of the economy and avoid speculations, usury debts, simulated transactions and illusionary mortgages. On the other hand, the alternatives of the Islamic finance industry stands out in the form of financial products and banking based on the principles of the Musharaka (sharing) system which no longer, in its context, upfront pre-financing costs and other unfair associated conditions. This system of Musharaka develops real asset-based securitization which is an alternative to the of traditional debt securitization. The Islamic finance industry is based on the principle of which is controlled by financial transactions guidings in the Islamic economics. This innovation is one of the best alternatives for the development of financial engineering that provides products and funding methods. This industry is growing at a rate of 20% per year, and exceeded the value of $ 1.5 trillion of financial assets, in addition to 390 billion dollars as the value of the cumulative size of the global Islamic Sukuk market. In light of the above-mentioned facts, the leading questions of this conference will be:
Did the financial innovations and the financial engineering applications contribute in the promotion of traditional financial industry or was it the cause of the production, transfer and globalization of financial crises? What is the role of the financial contemporary innovations and their usefulness in the asset risk management of the financial and economic institutions? What are the new rules and principles that must govern the innovation operations, and control the financial engineering models in order to save the balance between the real economy and the financial and monetary one? How can we reconcile and harmonize the requirements of the development of the Islamic finance industry and the developments of financial engineering in light of Shariah compliances of the financial transactions? What are the success chances of the Islamic investment funds, and the securitizing operations that stand as the alternative to traditional securitization? What is the level of its legitimacy, efficiency and usability of resources? II. The conference themes : Theme 01: Financial engineering and innovation in the conventional financial banking industry.
