Despite its expansion into the mainstream, Islamic banking is still perceived as complex and often misunderstood by many corporate leaders.

Ambiguities around what it is, its principles, structures, and market dynamics pose challenges for corporate leaders looking to engage with or invest in this space. Without clear understanding and visibility, participants in the wider market, including multinational corporates, could miss out on a five trillion-dollar strategic financing opportunity that offers access to values-driven, Shariah-compliant capital and growing investor demand across key markets.

To unlock its full potential, it is essential for corporate leaders to first build a clear and nuanced understanding of how Islamic banking works and where it creates strategic value.
