Madina Kalimullina: "Islamic banking recognized in #Russia"

Although legislation for Islamic banks is still missing, special groups in the Central Bank and the State Duma have been working on this topic. Today the state officially recognizes the concept of partner banking, which can be called Islamic banking. At the Moscow Halal Expo a halal installment plan was proposed, which removes all elements prohibitied from the point of view of Islamic standards. Over the last 8 years all international Sharia standards of Islamic financing were translated into Russian. So banks are gradually testing new products. This year's exhibition has two main topics. The first is cryptocurrencies and the second is multi-level marketing.
