In 2010 the World Bank recommended sukuk as the best form of lending for growth in developing countries. Since that time, the value of new issues has grown at an astonishing rate of 45% per year.
Sukuk Securities offers regulators, investors, analysts, and students a comprehensive resource that includes a thorough analysis of Islamic debt instruments and information on the latest developments in the burgeoning sukuk securities market. Mohamed Ariff--an expert on the topic of Islamic finance--offers insights into the concepts, design features, contract structures, yields, and payoffs in all the global sukuk markets.
Sukuk contracts are based on an entrepreneur and a financier taking a business risk together and sharing the profits, while prepared to incur losses together if the venture does not prove successful. The Sukuk marketplace currently spans over twelve countries, and is expected to further develop as a chosen form of fundraising in the capital markets space.
Sukuk Securities addresses the most common questions and concerns about the sukuk marketplace. The author clearly defines and explains what a sukuk security is and explains how it should be classified vis-à-vis bond markets. The book also explores how a sukuk security is designed and reveals how the various types of sukuk contracts can match the needs of a vast range of issuers in the debt capital markets space--from the agricultural to manufacturing industries. Sukuk Securities clarifies why this form of funding is more suited to today's market and investment environment, compared to conventional forms of debt contracting, and details the differences between the sukuk market and the common bond market.
Sukuk Securities is designed to be an invaluable addition to the library of any Islamic finance professional or serious student of finance and banking.
