If 2007 was a significant year for the growth of the Islamic bond market, 2008 promises to continue on this trend and allow Sukuk to establish itself as the world’s fastest growing financial sector. All the signs suggest that the global debt markets are taking Sukuk seriously as an alternative financing instrument to raise funding or to refinance existing more expensive debt.
The International Islamic Finance Forum is in its 11th year and is the premier Islamic finance event in the region. Our Islamic finance and capital market teams present Sukuk World, the only two-day event in the Middle East concerned with structuring, issuing and investing in Sukuk. We have utilised over 10 years of industry knowledge and contacts to bring together the finest collection of Sukuk experts ever assembled.
Sukuk returns are linked to assets purchased and are fully compliant with Islamic law unlike the conventional bond market. From practically being non-existent a decade ago the industry is now worth over US$100 billion and is growing phenomenally with Islamic and non-Islamic participants taking advantage.
By attending this ground-breaking event, delegates will understand all the techniques and methodologies involved in all facets of the Sukuk issuance and investing process.
