The aim of this course is to enter a financial market with great potential both inside and outside Islamic countries. You will learn the ethical fundamentals, trends and opportunities.
In the last eight years, Islamic finance has experienced a remarkable increase in global value, from USD 2 trillion to USD 4.5 trillion in 2023. This 125% growth, despite the economic challenges generated by the pandemic and its subsequent recovery, reflects its robustness and resilience. It also highlights the potential of Islamic Fintech, which is estimated to grow by more than 17% in the coming years. Sukuk, Islamic bonds, grew by 7%, consolidating themselves as particularly interesting instruments for financing large-scale projects, such as infrastructure and energy.
Islamic finance is an ever-growing market that offers business opportunities within and outside Arab countries. It also has the potential to bring new perspectives and approaches to conventional finance, offering alternatives based on ethical and sustainable foundations, in line with the economic trends set by European governments today.
The course, organised by the Observatory of Islamic Finance in Spain SCIEF – Casa Árabe, and given by specialists in the field, in Spain and internationally, offers an introduction to the ethical foundations, growth trends and opportunities offered by this type of finance for Spanish companies and professionals, with theoretical and practical sessions focusing on commercial instruments, Islamic financing contracts, banking and insurance.
