Islamic finance could help in meeting sustainable development goals
Islamic finance could contribute to meeting some of the sustainable development goals adopted by the UN General Assembly under its 2030 agenda, said Standard & Poor's Ratings Services in its report "Islamic Finance Could Aid Modestly In Achieving Sustainable Development Goals." Agreed on in September 2015, the UN General Assembly set 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) and 169 measurable targets centred on five pillars: people, planet, prosperity, peace, and partnership. Islamic finance could play a role--a modest one at least--in meeting some of the SDGs, particularly those that are in line with the core principles of Islamic finance, according to S&P.
