Peran Strategis Keuangan Islam Dalam Pencapaian Target SDGs

Abstract

The SDGs are a set of goals set by the United Nations (UN) to achieve a better, more sustainable life for everyone on the planet. The SDGs have 17 interrelated and mutually supportive goals to address the global challenges we face. The most common financial system in most countries is still based on conventional economic principles based on the principles of interest, risk and profit, which operate within a framework of financial institutions, markets, instruments and regulations designed to facilitate economic activity. As an alternative to the conventional financial system, the market is witnessing the growth of a financial system based on Islamic Sharia law. Islamic finance is a fast-growing sector of the global financial system, characterised by its adherence to Shariah principles, which emphasise fairness, equity, inclusiveness and public welfare. This ethical foundation not only makes Islamic finance an attractive alternative to conventional finance, but also positions it as an important contributor to sustainable development. Review methodology, which is a systematic and structured approach to evaluate, analyse and synthesise literature relevant to the research topic. The results show that Islamic finance principles inherently support  several SDGs, including those that focus on poverty alleviation, economic growth, and reducing inequality.
