Islamic Finance Task Force

​

CONCEPT

        Islamic Finance with its growing importance in the global financial system, continues to grab attention of both Muslim and non-Muslim countries with its own features. Islamic financial products and services opens up new prospects for countries and businesses because of the opportunities it offers for all financial and non-financial sectors.

        Taking into account the Islamic Finance as the fast-growing niche of financial markets and the advanced state of some COMCEC Member States' markets in terms of Islamic finance, Task force for Islamic Finance will serve as a proper platform that member states may harness their respective know-how and experiences about interest free financial instruments.
