Islamic finance has emerged as the fastest growing industry in the financial services market in the Middle East and is also steadily expanding in non-Islamic countries.

It is estimated that transactions within Islamic banking over the next five years, will cross over US$300 billion with a 15% annual growth rate.

Islamic banking products are fundamentally different from those of conventional banks.

The absence of interest rates is the most important differentiating aspect; this in itself makes the structuring of Islamic products a complex task.
