Again,One of Malaysia's if not the world's top university in Islamic finance i.e INCEIF were NOT included in the recent QS Asian Universities Rankings 2010.

In October 2009, I'd commented on the need for a WORLD UNIVERSITIES RANKING for Universities/Institutes offering IF training and programmes .

The inclusion of my alma matter i.e. IIUM is a welcomed relief.

Islamic Finance is one of the few areas where Malaysia have a Comparative Advantage compared to the rest of the world.

Having confidence in its Islamic Banking system, BNM via MIFC should now further consolidate its first-mover advantage by introducing and/or sponsoring a World universities/Institutions rankings for IF. Am sure the 2 named universities...if not other local universities will feature in the top 50 IF institutions if such a ranking were introduced.




BNM & MIFC, please expedite the Rankings for IF Universities and Institutes, less the advantage will be lost
