Islamic finance is today a force to be reckoned with in the global economy. Operating on the principles of Islamic law (Shariah), the Islamic value propositions, among others, prohibit interest (riba) and hold that business conduct should be on the basis of sharing profit and risk.
Islamic finance is a regular feature of today’s international financial world, at the government-to-government as well as the private sector level. The value of assets managed by Islamic banks is forecast to grow by 33% to $1 trillion by 2010.
At PricewaterhouseCoopers, we have a dedicated Islamic Finance practice concentrated in Malaysia, the Middle East and the United Kingdom.
