ICG-Events are pleased to announce that we are organising the sixth annual London Sukuk Summit. This is scheduled to take place on the 6th & 7th of June 2012 at the Jumeriah Carlton Hotel in London.
We are expecting this year’s event to be the biggest to date as it is set against the backdrop of a vibrant global Islamic Capital Market as the Sukuk sector took off to a strong start in 2012 with January the busiest month ever seen in the market. Industry experts expect this trend to continue throughout 2012 with a significant increase in Sukuk issuance as Islamic Capital Markets perform well against the financial crisis and liquidly crunch of 2011.
The London Sukuk Summit is once again well timed and should provide an ideal platform for industry experts and those interested in accessing the industry to discuss the key issues, highlight and identify new opportunities and forge new business relationships. Can you or your company afford to miss the world’s largest Sukuk gathering?

Facing up to diverse opinions
Diversity of opinion can be both a boon and bane. While pluralistic thought is seen as a blessing in the Islamic intellectual tradition, many observers of Islamic Finance see the multiplicity of views in the field as a hindrance to the industry’s development. When encountering such diversity, how should takaful operators proceed in a way that makes business sense yet does not run afoul of the processes of Shariah?
This is the question posed to a panel of scholars in our bi-monthly series – Shariah Speak.
When there are several opposing Shariah scholarly views on an issue, are takaful operators free to follow the course that serves the business and shareholders best?

على الرغم من أن ماليزيا تتعامل بنظامين، مالي إسلامي بجانب النظام المالي التقليدي، حيث يوجد بها 17 بنكا إسلاميا ماليزيا محليا و4 بنوك إسلامية دولية، أمام عدد كبير من البنوك التقليدية، فإن حصة المالية الإسلامية في السوق الماليزية، تساوي 21 في المائة من إجمالي سوق المصرفية الماليزية بشكل عام، وفي طريقها للمزيد. وأوضح مسؤول ماليزي بارز أن نسبة نمو المصرفية الإسلامية في ماليزيا تتراوح بين 20 إلى 25 في المائة سنويا، وأما فيما يتعلق بالأسواق المالية فإصدارات الصكوك تتجاوز الـ60 في المائة من إجمالي إصدارات الصكوك والسندات التقليدية في ماليزيا.
