Date 26/04/2012

The purists in the audience will not allow me to use the terms Islamic bonds and sukuk interchangeably. Some may even say that it is because there is little that is Islamic about bonds that we have seen the birth and phenomenal growth of sukuk! Others would argue equating the two has stifled innovation and prevented the wider use of indigenous participatory Shariah principles and concepts. It is not my intention to expand on that debate but I will be using the term sukuk.
