Bridging Faith & Finance: A Catholic Visionary in Islamic Finance

In this episode, we explore one of the most surprising and inspiring intersections of faith and economics. Our guest is Mr. Haryanto Solichin — a devout Catholic and the Commissioner of Menara Syariah, a landmark Islamic finance project rising on the reclaimed shores of PIK 2, Jakarta.

At the heart of Indonesia’s boldest Islamic financial development is a vision that transcends religious boundaries. Mr. Solichin believes that Syariah economics isn’t just for Muslims — it’s an ethical model for all: inclusive, transparent, equality-oriented, and purpose-driven.

How does a Catholic become a leading voice in Islamic finance? What shared values unite these traditions? And what can we learn from his interfaith approach to leadership?

Join us as we unpack the ethical principles of Syariah finance — and meet the Catholic helping make them a global reality.
