Having begun as a nascent sector in the
1970s that predominantly focused on Shariah-compliant banking, today
Islamic finance is a complete financial system of its own, having evolved
into a more cohesive and competitive global option, with a widening
investor and issuer base, improving industry infrastructure and more
cross-border activity. Today Islamic finance has some form of presence in
70 countries, through 600 financial institutions, and advanced economies
such as the UK, Hong Kong, Singapore and Germany have seen increased
activity. Having recorded double-digit growth rates in all four segments,
the industry is expected to expand beyond the USD3tln mark by 2018 and
continue to evolve as an increasingly significant part of the global
financial system.
