I learned in an email this morning that money is now to be made in Islamic Finance. There's a new one for you. It's a book sold in the UK. Here's the heart of the message: With conventional banking models under scrutiny and given the current liquidity crisis, I thought you might be interested in an accessible title on Islamic finance, Islamic Finance: A Practical Guide. Islamic finance has seen unprecedented growth in recent years and the pace of this growth is continuing. This is evidenced not only by the size of the Islamic finance market, but also by the increasing range of sophisticated products and services. Today, Islamic finance attracts a broad spectrum of participants who are looking to tap Islamic liquidity for financings ranging from corporate, retail, acquisition, development and project financings to international capital market offerings. Some of the most astute users of Islamic finance have been project sponsors alert to the rich supply of Islamic finance to meet their substantial financing demands. This practical title features insightful chapters by leading practitioners in Islamic financing (including from Citigroup Asia, Lovells and Norton Rose), and analyzes market trends, key developments and structures for project financing, sukuk, syndications, funds, takaful and Islamic liquidity management. This title is recommended reading whether you are already engaged in Islamic financing transactions or interested in understanding the Islamic finance market and the structures underpinning the world's fastest-growing finance sector. _____________________________________________________________ Well, I'm not running out to invest.
