Praise for Global Leaders in Islamic Finance
"Through a balanced mixture of narrative, research and interview the reader gets insights into the key personalities in Islamic finance including their hopes and concerns. It becomes clear that whilst a lot of terrain has been covered by Islamic finance, the road ahead is still full of challenges and uncertainties. Covering all aspects from the Islamic economy through industry bodies, banking, capital markets to charity . . . from bankers and thinkers to academics to lawyers . . . from the USA through to the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Pakistan . . . this well-researched book should be on the shelf of everyone closely involved in the industry as well as those hungry for a first glimpse under the surface."
—Paul E.E. Wouters, Islamic Finance Lawyer, CEO, PT Senturiyon Global
"While we have many books on the application, practicality and future of Islamic finance, there are few on its modern day history, let alone the personalities behind it. Global Leaders in Islamic Finance helps to fill this gap. With it, we can now have a closer look at who these leaders are and how they, in their respective fields, have contributed to help Islamic finance get to where it is today."
—Sani Hamid, Head, Financial Alliance Islamic Wealth Advisory, Singapore
"Global Leaders in Islamic Finance offers a glimpse into an otherwise impermeable industry: the world of the top Islamic Finance executives. In a time of uncertainly and discontent over Western systems of finance and banking, Emmy Abdul Alim provides an exquisitely presented piece of business literature, offering an alternative solution. The author's interviews offer pages of insight and knowledge straight from the industry gurus themselves."
