JAKARTA — Towards the end of 2022, Republika again held the Anugerah Syariah Republika (ASR), which targets Islamic economic and financial activists. The event, which has been held six times, is held on Tuesday (29/11/2022) night at the Sultan Hotel Jakarta. The event, which has been routinely carried out since 2017, is a form of Republican appreciation for the industry in holding the economy. With this event, it is hoped that industry players and stakeholders will be more enthusiastic about building the country’s Islamic economy.
According to the Editor-in-Chief of Republika, Irfan Junaidi, Republika is one of the pioneer media in socializing the Islamic economy and finance industry since its establishment in 1993. Therefore, Republika consistently and continuously strengthens its commitment to encourage industry activists to maximize the potential of the Islamic economy and finance. ASR also became Republika’s offline channel in supporting the growth and development of the ecosystem.
