The Islamic Finance Handbook: A Practitioner's Guide to the Global Markets

PRAISE FOR THE ISLAMIC FINANCE HANDBOOK

“For over a decade Andrew Morgan and Andrew Tebutt have provided a point of reference for the Islamic banking sector, which has enjoyed one of the fastest growth rates in international finance and a rapidly expanding global footprint. Through their market awareness and connection to a diverse group of senior practitioners, the editors have delivered consistently insightful and comprehensive coverage to their audience. The Islamic Finance Handbook builds upon that through further contribution by respected, industry experts who are well positioned to inform and educate those already involved in the marketplace, as well as those seeking access to it.”
—STELLA COX, Managing Director, DDCAP Group

“This book serves as a great starting point for those who wish to embark on a research journey or want to have a feel and understanding of Islamic finance in different jurisdictions especially the new frontiers for Islamic finance. It is a great reference book and must have equally for both researchers and practitioners.”
—ISSAM AL TAWARI, Chairman & Managing Director, Rasameel Structured Finance

“As the Islamic financial services industry expands into more and more jurisdictions, this new Islamic Finance Handbook provided a timely introduction into what has been happening across the world. It covers not just the well-known homes of Islamic finance but also explores developments in those countries that are just commencing their engagement with the industry. Although each country is covered by a different contributor, it is possible to identify consistent themes that highlight those areas where further developmental work needs to be undertaken by legislative and regulatory authorities in order to create enabling environments that are capable of responding to Islamic financial products, removing barriers to their introduction, and ensuring a level playing field with conventional products that respond to similar economic needs. This work will provide readers with an introduction to the sector in each country and serve as a starting point for further exploration and research. It is to be hoped that the editors will be able to continue adding further countries to new editions.”
—NEIL D MILLER, Global Head of Islamic Finance, Linklaters
