It focuses on rapidly growing Islamic Banking, Finance, Economy and Business. Through close contact with those active in the Islamic finance sector, Global Islamic Finance magazine is able to bring you critical news not found elsewhere.

Market intelligence which will assist you with your business and in depth independently-written feature articles provide potential leads and other resource information. Turn our news, knowledge and insight into your advan-tage, with essential information and details on the Islamic finance field.

The Magazine was founded on the basis that good financial judgement is a skill which requires a blend of econom-ic, market, legal and product knowledge. GIF’s mix of content provides senior business finance decision-makers with balanced market intelligence and sources of business finance. The magazine has an enviable track record in promoting, repositioning and sustaining brands within the sector. We pride ourselves on our close working rela-tionships with both advertisers and agencies to specifically tailor promotional campaigns to meet exact marketing needs.

Each month, we pledge to provide our readers with the best writing, reporting, thinking and images. Islamic Bank-ing has the same purpose as conventional banking except that it claims to operate in accordance with the rules of shariah, known as Fiqh al-Muamalat (“Islamic rules” on transactions). The basic principle of Islamic banking is sharing of profit and loss and the prohibition of riba’ (interest). Amongst the common Islamic concepts used in Islamic banking are profit sharing (Mudharabah), safekeeping (Wadiah), joint venture (Musharakah), cost plus (Murabahah), and leasing (Ijarah).

Ethical Investing Guide: The PracticeEthical investors in the UK are growing in number, espe-cially in the light of the global financial crisis, which ex-posed some aspects of the world’s traditional finance system as irresponsible at best, corrupt at worst. In the second part Global Islamic Finance magazine shows the way how to in practice make an ethical investment.

Time for Islamic finance to really come of ageNotwithstanding the recent controversy surrounding Du-bai World, Islamic finance is enjoying a golden period at the moment; even the most conservative researchers es-timate that the industry is growing by around 15% a year, fuelled by investor interest and a surging global demand for Sharia’ah compliant products from Muslim financiers and but eagle-eyed investors.

Trading Places: A Revival for Islamic Trade Finance?Trade finance and leasing trends tend to follow overall trends in international trade. Given developed markets are increasingly trading with their emerging counterparts, it stands to reason that we will soon be seeing more trade financing transactions between the established and emerging financial worlds.

Landmark Articles

The articles that shaping and inspir-ing the industry

The Entrance of Islamic Finance into the Mainstream An academic study shows 3 UAE banks have been outper-forming 3 of their conventional rivals; HSBC predict that the current value of the worldwide sukuk market will dou-ble next year and a recent survey by The Banker calculates the Islamic finance industry to be worth US$800 billion.

Through Janus’ Eyes: Islamic Finance Looks Back and Forth It’s been a year of contrasts for Islamic Finance. Its inte-gration into the international financial landscape has been heralded as a success, yet one catch is its consequent exposure to a global financial crisis created by the conven-tional systems’ flaws.

Risk management in Islamic finance: what are the banks doing? In our previous article on risk management, we examined the nature and extent of the risks facing the Islamic bank-ing industry. In this follow-up piece, we will ask what Islam-ic banks are doing to minimise these risks, and whether their measures go far enough.

Global Islamic Finance Portal is the daily destination for emerging and established leaders seeking development ideas, strategies, and tactics to get an edge in Islamic finance and banking.
