  • Industry Commentary - Dow Jones Islamic Market Indexes In April: Growth Is Beautiful - Or Is It? - By Gerard Al-Fil

    Date 28/04/2011

    A number of Dow Jones Islamic Market (DJIM) Indexes posted gains in April.  After diving 10.17% in the first quarter of 2011, the DJIM Kuwait Index rebounded, registering a gain of 7.04% to 963.52 (as of the close of trading on April 26). In a nation with nearly 95% of its federal budget is tied to oil revenues, rising oil prices drove the Gulf state’s stock market higher. The resignation of Kuwait’s old and unpopular cabinet also helped. Kuwait was followed (on a percentage basis) by the DJIM Hong Kong Index, up 6.50% to 1,655.53; and the DJIM Philippines Index, up 5.90% to 1,855.26.

  • Defining The Scope Of A Consumer Education And Protection Program For The Post-Dodd-Frank World - CFTC Commissioner Scott O’Malia

    Date 28/04/2011

    Good morning. I’d like to welcome you all to the first public meeting to explore how the CFTC should rebuild its consumer education, protection, and outreach program as required by the Dodd-Frank Act. I have organized this meeting today as a way to initiate the dialogue among individuals, organizations, and fellow regulators at the forefront of the most successful financial literacy, education, and outreach programs to advise the Commission as to how to establish a quality consumer education and outreach program. It would be foolish for the Commission to try and attempt to establish a program out of whole cloth without consulting the experts.
