min2664 With more than 1.5 billion Muslims in the world that are increasingly seeking financial options that conform to their religious beliefs, Islamic Finance has become a hot topic, also in the field of Commodity Trading. In the light of this development, with an estimated turnover of US$1 trillion and no signs of a decrease in demand, the commodity Murabahah definitely deserves closer observation. Currently, the major impediment for Islamic investors is the lack of Shariah compliant trading mechanisms that enable them to trade commodities efficiently. Initiatives such as the just recently launched Dow Jones Islamic Market Global Equity Commodity Index clearly indicate a growing interest in tapping into and developing the Islamic Commodity Finance market. Experts predict that once these mechanisms are developed and investors are educated about the options available to them, the finance world will see a lot of interest from Islamic Investors. Picking up this trend, Commodities Week Asia 2012 , which will take place on 27-28 March 2012 in Singapore, will discuss this topic in more depth and cover issues such as: Investing in commodity Murabaha: Considerations for the Islamic investor The role of Islamic financial institutions in driving investor demand for Shariah-compliant commodity products Global Islamic finance developments in commodities For more information, please visit the Commodities Week Asia 2012 event website .
