Halal Capital Markets Conference-LONDON-24TH-28TH MAY 2010 - Finance meets Halal sector

PR Log (Press Release) – Nov 08, 2009 – Given a world Muslim population of around 1.6 billion people and a market turnover in the Halal sector to soon surpass US $ 1 trillion the industry has enormous potential. Such a dynamic sector is attracting more and more non-Muslim/Islamic investors showing interest in Sharia-compliant investment products.

Islamic investment fund allocation to date has been predominantly in the construction sector – housing & commercial, and the majority of Islamic private equity has been invested in property, infrastructure projects, macro enterprises and ETFs. Islamic financing has failed the Small and Medium Enterprises sector entirely.

HALAL - CHANGING THE WAY WE THINK  
The Macro and Micro enterprises sector both in the non Muslim countries and Muslim countries contribute a significant proportion to this trillion dollar industry. This is the key supply chain to about 85% of the total trillion dollar Halal market.

The key focus of the conference will be on investment and investment related opportunities which mainstream investment institutions and professionals can offer to the development of the Halal sector, namely to UK, EU, other non Muslim countries and 57 Halal Industry key players and also explore opportunities to build cross border relationships with governmental agencies and the private sector
