This group is a look at the trillion-dollar Islamic finance industry which is the center of attention for many investment professionals and market analysts. The World Bank has expected Islamic assets to grow 10% to 15% a year and according to Standard & Poor’s, the industry is set to double by 2015. Even non-Muslims are choosing to invest in Islamic securities to hedge against risk and support SRI strategies.
I welcome you to this group which goals include:
Guidance in Islamic finance and Islamic economics
Islamization of knowledge.
Reconstruction of Islamic Economics.
Preparation of manpower to serve as vanguard for
Islamization of both knowledge and economy.
Training in modern economics, Islamic economics and
Islamic banking and finance at undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate
levels.
Research on theoretical issues
in Islamic economics, banking, finance and insurance as well as on
practical problems facing the economies of Muslim countries.
