Why think about Islamic finance? • A growing demand for Shari’a-compatible forms of financing and banking products, amongst both Muslim and non-Muslim communities • Economic development in Muslim regions, giving rise to new infrastructure • Rising incomes amongst the Arab population, resulting in the need for Islamic consumer finance and banking products • The emergence of an international market in Sukuk (Shari’a-compliant) bonds
