With a presence in 60 countries, including 1,500 Shari’ah-compliant companies and accounting for US$2.44 trillion worth of assets under management (IFSB, 2020), Islamic finance is one of the fastest growing segments in the global financial system. The sector has shown a steady 10–12% per year growth over the past two decades. Among the most attractive features of Islamic finance is that it serves as a valuable source of funds for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.
Given its growing importance, multiple CFA societies in the APAC region collaborated to conduct a series of Islamic finance webinars, which took a deep dive into the framework, guidelines, and industry landscape as well as emerging opportunities in this increasingly important market segment.
