Thomson Reuters Announces Findings of Annual Sukuk Perceptions and Forecast Study
Thomson Reuters has released the findings of its second consecutive Sukuk Perceptions and Forecast Study. Overall, the study found that the potential demand and supply pipeline of sukuk is expected to grow. Despite this increase, demand is still expected to outstrip supply substantially until 2014, when it is predicted supply will begin to outpace supply. On the demand side, investors expect 50 percent of their portfolios to be allocated to Islamic finance investments, out of which 25% to 35%, would be allocated to sukuk. MENA investors overwhelmingly prefer USD sukuk. Oman is viewed as the most attractive emerging Islamic finance market for sukuk investment. The study will be launched at the Global Islamic Economy Summit on 25th & 26th November 2013 in Dubai.
