The third day of the D-8 Halal Expo Indonesia 2026 featured discussions on Islamic finance and investment, including a meeting between Indonesian young entrepreneurs (HIPMI) and an Iranian delegation. Both nations aim to strengthen cooperation in livestock and food sectors.
The excitement of the D-8 Halal Expo Indonesia 2026 series continued on the third day, with four discussion sessions until the meeting of Indonesian business organizations with Iran became some of the agendas that attracted attention. The third day of the D-8 HEI 2026 was enlivened by four HEI Talks sessions which focused heavily on sharia funding and investment. The first session, which raised the theme "Unlocking Blended Financing in D-8 through Cash Waqf Linked Sukuk (CWLS) and Cash Waqf Linked Deposit (CWLD)", featured speakers, Executive Director of the BI Islamic Economics and Finance Department, Dr. Dadang Muljawan, along with the Director of Social Finance at KNEKS, Dr. Dwi Irianti Hadiningdyah. In this session, the speakers and the audience enthusiastically discussed various sharia funding facilities such as Islamic blended financing and sukuk, as well as how sharia funding can be promoted to potential foreign investors. The second session was themed "Driving the Future of Global Halal Trade & Economy Intra D-8: Lessons Learned from Bangladesh, Malaysia, and Egypt" and featured three speakers, Chairman, Indonesia-Bangladesh Chambers of Commerce and Industry (IBCCI) Mohammed Riyadh Ali; Acting Head of the Malaysian Embassy Farzamie Sarkawi; and Minister from the Egyptian Embassy, Alzahraa Ahmed. Indonesia through the Indonesian Halal Product Assurance Agency (BPJPH) has a mutual recognition agreement (MRA) with Malaysia (Islamic Development Department/JAKIM). This session explores the potential for further cooperation with Egypt and Bangladesh on halal certification that can be optimized. Meanwhile, the third session took the theme "Developing Muslim-Friendly Tourism for Sustainable Economic Growth in D-8" with speakers, Head of Research and Capacity Development of CrescentRating Tawfiq Salam Ikhtianto; Adyatma Tourism and Creative Economy Expert Principal of the Ministry of Tourism Nia Niscaya; and Business Acquisition Director of Artotel Group Dennis Depriadie. This session discusses the optimization of cooperation through D-8 in developing the halal tourism industry as one of the drivers of sustainable economic growth, by looking at industry trends, current data, as well as government and business perspectives. Then, the fourth session raised the theme "Reviving Investment & Business Ethic to redefine future Halal Intelligence" by presenting Tyo Guritno from Inspigo as well as Abdelbasset Ouissa and Ramzi Qane from the Muslim Capital Club. The discussion focuses on strengthening and implementing business ethics and sharia investment to ensure the responsible use of artificial intelligence in supporting the realization of a halal ecosystem that is transparent, trustworthy, and innovative. Meanwhile, the Ambassador Designate of Bangladesh to Indonesia, Hasan Mridha, appreciated the D-8 HEI event when visiting the expo area on the third day. He expressed his appreciation for the implementation of the D-8 HEI and the interest in encouraging trade cooperation between Indonesia and Bangladesh in several commodity sectors such as copra. Ambassador Mridha also witnessed a business matching session held by the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Kadin Indonesia) with the Indonesia-Bangladesh Chamber of Commerce and Industry (IBCCI). D-8 HEI also successfully facilitated a courtesy meeting between the Indonesian Young Entrepreneurs Association (HIPMI) and the D-8 HEI delegation from Iran. This meeting discussed the potential to connect livestock entrepreneurs and frozen food suppliers from Indonesia with Iranian livestock flavoring and biotechnology entrepreneurs who are mutually beneficial. Indonesia will gain market access to the Middle East and Central Asia for improving the quality of livestock. Meanwhile, Iran can sell flavor products and livestock embryos to Indonesia. It is known that D-8 HEI is part of the Indonesian Chairmanship of the D-8 period 2026-2027 and was held on July 8-12 at the Senayan Tennis Indoor Stadium, Jakarta. Carrying the theme "Strengthening D-8 Halal Economy Through International Collaboration", this event is designed as a main platform for business actors, industry players, investors, and policymakers to strengthen the halal supply chain in the D-8 environment while opening wider access to the global market. D-8 HEI will support Indonesia to become one of the halal economic hubs. Through D-8 HEI, business-to-business (B2B) cooperation between D-8 and beyond countries in various halal flagship sectors is expected to be closer. This synergy is also a strategic step to support the target of achieving intra-D-8 trade volume of 500 billion US dollars by 2030. In addition to presenting medium and large-scale corporations, D-8 HEI also carries UMKM actors from the culinary, fashion, handicraft, halal tourism, digital, and other sectors.

多角的分析
D-8ハラル博におけるイスラム金融と投資に関する議論は、インドネシアがハラル経済における地域ハブとしての地位を確立しようとする戦略の一環です。特に、キャッシュ・ワクフ連動証券（CWLS）や連動預金（CWLD）といったイスラム金融商品の活用は、国内のイスラム資産を活性化し、新たな資金調達チャネルを開拓する可能性を秘めています。これは、インドネシアが世界最大のムスリム人口を抱える国として、イスラム金融市場における潜在能力を最大限に引き出そうとする動きであり、国内経済の多様化と成長に寄与すると考えられます。また、D-8域内貿易目標（2030年までに5000億ドル）の達成に向けた具体的な取り組みとしても重要です。
今回のD-8ハラル博は、イスラム金融商品やハラル産業への投資機会を探る投資家にとって、貴重な情報収集の場となります。特に、インドネシアとイラン間の畜産・食品分野における連携の可能性は、新たなサプライチェーン構築や市場参入の機会を投資家に提供する可能性があります。インドネシアは、中東・中央アジア市場へのゲートウェイとしての役割を強化しており、これは海外からの直接投資（FDI）を呼び込む上で有利に働くでしょう。また、AIとハラル・エコシステムに関する議論は、テクノロジー分野への投資関心を高める可能性もあります。
ハラル認証の相互承認やイスラム教徒フレンドリーな観光開発に関する議論は、インドネシア国内のムスリム社会のニーズに応え、彼らの生活の質向上に貢献するものです。特に、ハラル観光は、国内のイスラム文化や遺産を活かしつつ、経済成長を促進する新たな雇用機会を生み出す可能性があります。また、HIPMIとイラン代表団との会合で議論された畜産・食品分野の連携は、国内の小規模事業者（UMKM）にも恩恵をもたらし、彼らの国際市場へのアクセスを広げることで、経済的自立を支援する可能性があります。これは、地方経済の活性化にも繋がるでしょう。
今回のD-8ハラル博で議論されたイスラム金融やハラル産業の発展は、一般市民、特にムスリムの生活に間接的・直接的な影響を与える可能性があります。例えば、イスラム金融商品の普及は、より多くの人々がシャリアに沿った金融サービスを利用できるようになることを意味します。また、ハラル観光の振興は、国内旅行の選択肢を増やし、文化体験の機会を広げるでしょう。イランとのビジネス連携が具体化すれば、食品の選択肢が増えたり、価格競争が起きたりする可能性も考えられます。ただし、これらの恩恵が国民全体に均等に行き渡るかは、今後の政策や市場の動向にかかっています。
背景・歴史的文脈
D-8（開発途上8カ国）は、1997年に設立されたイスラム協力機構（OIC）加盟国の中から、経済発展を目指す8カ国（バングラデシュ、エジプト、インドネシア、イラン、マレーシア、ナイジェリア、パキスタン、トルコ）で構成される経済協力フォーラムです。その目的は、加盟国間の貿易、投資、産業協力を促進し、経済発展を支援することにあります。特にハラル産業は、世界的に市場が拡大しており、D-8諸国は、この分野での協力を通じて、経済的な結びつきを強め、グローバル市場での競争力を高めようとしています。インドネシアは、世界最大のムスリム人口を擁し、ハラル認証制度の整備にも力を入れており、D-8議長国としての役割を通じて、ハラル経済圏におけるリーダーシップを発揮しようとしています。イランとの連携は、中東市場へのアクセス拡大という点で、インドネシアにとって戦略的な意味合いを持ちます。
