Now a dynamic area of the international financial services sector and with a rising demand for a more ethical approach to finance, Islamic finance is set to continue increasing in importance over the next decade. Following the successful review of the original CIMA Certificate in Islamic Finance we took the opportunity to develop the structure of the qualification and how it is offered to reflect the changing requirements for Islamic finance in business. Students can now specialise in areas of their choice which provides a more relevant and focused learning and development.
Islamic banking is seen as an alternative to traditional finance.
With the Islamic banking market valued at over USD1.1 trillion, combined with the estimated growth rate of up to 20% year on year, the need for human capital to bring Islamic finance to the level at which it deserves and meet its markets demands is higher than ever. At least 50,000 professionals are needed within the industry over the next seven years.
