The evolving landscape of Islamic finance has seen remarkable growth, with global Islamic financial assets surpassing $2.88 trillion as of 2022, according to the Islamic Financial Services Board (IFSB). This expansion underscores the increasing relevance of Shari’ah-compliant financial instruments, particularly Sukuk, in modern banking and investment. Pideya Learning Academy presents this specialized training program, Islamic Bond Frameworks: Banking Sukuk, designed to provide participants with in-depth knowledge of Sukuk structures, Shari’ah compliance requirements, and their strategic applications in financial markets.
Islamic bonds, or Sukuk, serve as a fundamental instrument for raising capital while adhering to Islamic financial principles. Studies indicate that Sukuk issuances accounted for over $174 billion in global financial transactions in 2023 alone, with a 12% annual growth rate. This reflects the increasing demand for ethical, interest-free investment vehicles across global markets. Given the emphasis on risk-sharing and asset-backed securities, Sukuk provides investors with a stable and transparent alternative to conventional bonds. Additionally, institutions implementing Islamic financial strategies have reported up to 20% higher financial resilience in volatile markets, as per reports from the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB).
This comprehensive course delves into key aspects of Sukuk structuring, including various types such as Sukuk al-Ijara, Sukuk al-Musharaka, and Sukuk al-Mudaraba. Participants will gain valuable insights into the operational, regulatory, and risk management frameworks governing these Islamic financial instruments. The training also explores the role of Shari’ah Supervisory Boards in ensuring compliance and providing fatawa (Islamic legal rulings) for financial transactions. By understanding the intricacies of Islamic finance, attendees will be better equipped to navigate the evolving landscape of Shari’ah-compliant banking and investment.
