The Labuan Bulletin of International Business & Finance (LBIBF), a refereed journal published by the LSIBF, is now indexed in Econlit (click here).

It is the world’s foremost source of references to economic literature.

LSIBF would like to congratulate Dr Rosita Chong and her team members for their success in the eScience Fund application, a very competitive national grant under the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI). Their project, “The Development of Intelligent Ethical Wealth Planner”, received a total funding of RM226,043 for the duration of one year from June 2010 to May 2011.
On June 16, 2010, LSIBF organized a “PhD Tutorial” for its academic staffs who will further their PhD studies later this year. The tutorial was conducted in 4 different sessions, i.e. Finance, Islamic Finance, International Business and Financial Economics. In this just-concluded event, 9 academic staffs presented their respective proposals. The invited discussants provided valuable comments that cover the aspects of feasibility, limitations, challenges, and potential directions/extensions, which will help the participants to further improve their proposals.
The school would like to thank Prof. Dr. Obiyathulla Ismath Bacha, Prof. Dr. Abdul Rahim Abdul Rahman, Prof Dr. Syed Azizi Wafa Syed Khalid Wafa and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Wong Hock Tsen for their contributions to this event (the schedule can be downloaded here).
