Islamic Finance Asia Summit
Islamic finance – once seen as relatively insulated from the global credit crisis – is now firmly in the spotlight in Asia.
Noble Group’s syndication of a two year commodity murabaha facility in late 2008 was the first ever Islamic loan completed for a Hong Kong borrower.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore sold the country's first Islamic bonds (sukuk) earlier. Meanwhile, Hong Kong and Indonesia continue to explore raising capital in compliance with Islamic principles by making tax, regulatory and legislative changes. The market is certainly moving.
