Zeti Akhtar Aziz: The global Islamic financial market today – challenges and way forward Luncheon address by Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz, Governor of the Central Bank of Malaysia, at the annual “The Asset Triple A Awards for Islamic Finance”, Kuala Lumpur, 6 July 2010. *  *  *  It is my great pleasure to be here this afternoon on this occasion of the Annual “The Asset Triple A Awards for Islamic Finance” by the Asset Publishing and Research, to deliver some remarks on the key challenges and way forward for Islamic finance in the international financial system. Islamic finance has experienced its most rapid pace of development in this decade demonstrating its competitiveness and resilience as a form of financial intermediation. While the Islamic assets are now more than $ trillion, it is estimated that the global Islamic finance industry will reach the $ trillion mark in the next three to five years. The sukuk market has become the most significant and vibrant segment in the international Islamic financial system. Issuers are seeing the sukuk instrument as an attractive alternative means for raising capital, whilst investors are increasingly seeing it as a new asset class in their investment universe. This has generated significant cross-border flows as funds are raised from beyond domestic financial markets and as investors diversify their portfolios into assets from other jurisdictions. The sukuk market currently stands at almost $ billion, with a growth rate of about 40 percent annually.
