  • The 500 Who Make the Islamic Economy
    The 500 who make the Islamic Economy 2015 PRE-VERSION INTRODUCTION The Islamic economy, also described as the Halal industry, is the fastest growing segment of world’s economy. It encompasses one human being out of five. It is a blank page that still needs to be written. The Islamic economy faces several challenges including: - the lack of structures and instruments to assess its development - the predominance of the Islamic finance segment - the communautarism An economy needs to be structured to develop to the fullest. In the Islamic economy, struc- tures, organisations, standards and instruments are all very new. The Global international organisations like the IMF or the Workd Bank have recently started to look at it seriously. Institutions tend to predominantly have a view on the sole Islamic financial segment, which is the visible part of the Islamic iceberg. Without sound structures, control bodies and instruments, the Halal industry will evolve between « Halalywood » and « Halaloween », a success or a horror show where the Muslim consumer will either win or lose. The riper segment of the Islamic Economy is Islamic Finance. The Economy and the Finance are interrelated. They need to complete each other. The Islamic economy is the body and Islamic finance is the blood that irrigates the body. If we want to avoid the clashes of the conventional world, we need to work at making Islamic finance a part of the Islamic economy and not the contrary. The Islamic economy is a vibrant part of world’s economy, just like fair trade or the organic segment industry. Islam should not suffer from communautarization which excludes rather than englobes.
