This new title has 38 chapters covering developments of capital markets in Malaysia and the GCC, Wealth Management, untapped potential for expansion in Europe - especially the UK, France and Luxembourg - as well as new risk management tools, the revival of Sukuk and its potential in secular markets such as Turkey and France. These new trends have been analysed and developed by eminent market practitioners who have shared their knowledge and expertise, making this book the ineluctable reference in the field of Islamic Investment Banking.

Praise for Islamic Investment Banking

The sheer scope of this book illustrates the second driver for UK policy - the immense worldwide opportunity for the spread and development of Shariah-compliant products and techniques. As economic weight shifts eastwards, so ways need to be developed to mobilise capital in a way consistent with the ethical approach of its owners.

The global economy needs investment - in financing trade, in developing infrastructure, in providing capital for new and growing businesses. An increasing proportion of this investment is likely to flow from Muslim countries and Shariah-compliant products are needed to channel that flow.
