Islamic Finance - The New Mainstream Alternative
Although
the Islamic finance sector suffered along with other investment
sectors during the credit crunch of 2008 and 2009, its long-term
future seems assured. Rushdi Siddiqui, Global Head of Islamic
Finance at Thomson Reuters, told participants at the Middle
East, North Africa and South Asia (MENESA) Forum on ‘The
Challenges Ahead for Islamic Finance’ in May that Islamic
Finance is on a firm footing to become a USD2 trillion industry
in the next half decade. “It took the Islamic Finance
industry 40 years to become a USD1 trillion industry. It will
take another two to five years to become a USD2 trillion industry,”
he said.
