Say Hello to IslamicMarkets.com

The world's first platform for global Islamic markets, providing learning, financial intelligence and investments.

London, United Kingdom: IslamicMarkets.com, the world’s first platform for the burgeoning $3.9 trillion 1 global Islamic economy, was launched today. The platform offers industry-led learning, financial intelligence and connects investors to opportunities.

IslamicMarkets.com was launched by the team behind IslamicBanker, a reference point for the Islamic banking industry.

Commenting on the announcement, IslamicMarkets’ Chief Executive, Shakeeb Saqlain said: “Over the last 3 years, we have been working on creating a gateway for the global Islamic economy.

Islamic markets are not easily accessible - information is not always available and economies remain disconnected. This restricts the opportunities for investors and firms to grow, create jobs, and spur innovation.”

A report this month 2 by the World Bank and Islamic Development Bank notes that “a wider array of institutions” 3 are needed to support the long-term investment needs of leading Islamic economies and a collaborative approach is needed.

IslamicMarkets.com aims to support the wider needs of OIC and non-OIC countries, expanding the investor base, enhancing trade, and connecting Islamic economies to each other and the world.
