Shariah Compliant Finance Transactions in the Asia Pacific and Arabian Gulf

This book examines the convergence of Shariah-compliant finance with two of the defining forces reshaping the sector: Sustainability and Innovation. Drawing on the developments of the Asia Pacific and the Arabian Gulf, regions that together hold the largest share of global Islamic finance assets. It analyses the instruments, institutions, enterprises and policies that structure Islamic capital markets, from Environment, Sustainability and Governance (ESG) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to fintech. Consider how Shariah-compliant finance offers a distinct model for reconciling ethical investment principles with technological change, with implications for cross-border trade finance, takaful and regulatory harmonisation. As the Global South builds resilience against mounting economic and geopolitical challenges, Islamic finance is being reinvented to connect these regions and boost shared development initiatives. This volume will appeal to scholars and researchers in Economics and Finance, Islamic Finance, Fintech, and ESG.
