"RISK-SHARING" - 5th International Islamic Capital Market Forum

What was interesting about the theme this time around was the fact that risk-sharing and risk-sharing contracts like Al-Mudhrabah or, Al-Musyarakah is given prominence as opposed to numerous times where debt or assets-based products like the Sukuk is normally in the limelight.

This blog would like to put on record our appreciation to the Islamic Capital Market(ICM) Unit of the Securities Commission of Malaysia for the kind invitation to attend and cover the event.

Syukran as well to Dr. Abbas Mirakhor, Prof.Aslam from IIUM and Bro.Omar Sheikh of RHT Partners, Dubai for kindly consenting to be interviewed.
