The global business landscape is undergoing profound transformation, driven by geopolitical tensions, technological advancements, and shifts in economic power. In this dynamic context, the 11th International Conference on Business and Finance (ICBF2025) focuses on the timely and impactful theme "Tariffs & Trade: Navigating Global Business Outlook." The conference aims to foster collaboration between scholars, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to address the evolving dynamics of international trade, economic policy, and global market trends.

As international markets grapple with the effects of rising tariffs, trade regulations, and economic uncertainty, there is a growing need for integrated solutions that combine theoretical insight with practical strategies. This year’s theme highlights the importance of understanding the impact of global trade policies on business operations, supply chain resilience, financial stability, entrepreneurship, and economic development. It provides a platform for exploring how businesses can adapt to and shape these global trends while contributing to sustainable and inclusive growth.

Hosted by Effat College of Business, ICBF2025 invites you to engage in discussions that bridge the gap between academia and industry. The two-day event will include plenary panels featuring business leaders and policymakers, a PhD workshop that maps out future research priorities, and paper sessions that address topics such as global market access, digital transformation, financial resilience, Islamic finance, and entrepreneurial innovation.

Submissions to ICBF2025 must be original, unpublished research papers written in English, with a maximum length of 8,000 words. All papers will be subject to a blind peer-review process to ensure academic rigor and relevance to the conference theme. Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings and considered for publication in partner journals.

We welcome contributions from academics, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, business professionals, and students across a wide range of disciplines including finance, economics, supply chain, operations management, entrepreneurship, marketing, management, and accounting.

Join us at Effat College of Business on November 26–27, 2025, to navigate the challenges and opportunities of the global trade environment and contribute to shaping a more informed, resilient, and interconnected global business future.
