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.
