Sukuk, the Islamic version of securitisation, has already been termed by practitioners as “the financial product” for deeper and broader Islamic capital markets. After only a few years since the first Sukuk deal was launched, the global market for Sukuk is already running into billions of dollars. No one in the world of modern finance be it conventional or Islamic can afford to ignore this dramatically growing sector of the market and its increasingly diverse instruments and products.

This workshop aims at highlighting the salient features and challenges in structuring and issuing Sukuk. Not only Islamic financiers will benefit from this short and comprehensive workshop. Conventional financiers would also benefit extensively if they want to expand their client base to Islamic clients as well.
