Islamic Finance and takaful are fast growing niche markets reaching record rates in instances of no less than 15% per annum. This has fuelled up a phenomenon of growth of Islamic capital markets whereby sukuk (Islamic Bonds) and Islamic equity are gradually penetrating international financial markets, and whipping the appetite of large western financial institutions. MIHE takes pride in extending professional and up-to-date training courses in this growing area, thanks to the library, research, computer and academic expertise that has been built over the last three decades. The programme takes into account the latest development and evolution of the Islamic Finance industry. It is a perfect blend of theory and practice.
