  • Guide 2007.Indd
    www.islamicfi nancenews.com Islamic Finance news Guide 2007 Note from the publisher As we enter 2007 Islamic fi nance will continue to develop and reach out to the world’s issuers and investors regardless of their faith, religion and location. We will continue to see major advancements in innovation and product development and new players will amaze us with bigger and better offerings. New markets will emerge following the likes of China, Japan and Kenya in 2006. However, the focus will again be on the current dominant players and this is where we’re likely to see the major growth. Malaysia, currently boasting the world’s largest Islamic bond market, will continue to set the pace but the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are all expected to reduce the gap if not reverse it. The UAE is a bustling haven for Islamic fi nance with Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah claiming almost every major fi nancial institution with Islamic capabilities between them. Malaysia may have the upper hand on the quantity of Shariah compliant issuances, but the UAE can certainly claim the biggest with the likes of PCFC and Nakheel amounting to a combined US$7.02 billion. These are the deals which raise eyebrows in Europe and the US. Indonesia will witness a major transformation with the proposed new regulations and standards for issuing Islamic paper in the world’s most populous Muslim country. Up to US$10 billion needs to be raised over the next ten years for necessary infrastructure projects. The Islamic Development Bank has already announced US$1.5 billion of investment this year.
