INTERVIEW - Hussain Erkan - Turkey strives to build closer links with GCC stock exchanges
Turkey has been building capital market bridges to GCC and South East Asia, and chairman of the Istanbul Stock Exchange, Hussain Erkan, has been a leading architect in establishing dialogue, hosting events, and facilitating cooperation and coordination with his counterparts for both Islamic and conventional finance. In this interview, Erkan shares his thoughts on the challenges and progress of Islamic finance in Turkey, among various other issues. He is hopeful that the improvements made should be able to attract investors from the GCC.
Gulf News: Would you kindly explain the role of Istanbul Stock Exchange in providing opportunities for those interested in Islamic finance?
Hussain Erkan: Islamic countries have a huge potential to create wealth in the economy with their rich resources and are capable of achieving more by improving their capital market structure. Since 2005, under the activities of Standing Committee for Economic and Commercial Cooperation of the Organisation of the Islamic Cooperation (COMCEC), Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) has been working on creating this awareness and developing the exchange industry in Islamic countries by acting as the coordinator of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) member states’ Stock Exchanges Forum. We also cooperate with other international institutions such as IIFM (International Islamic Financial Market)? on developing an appropriate structure to create solutions for increasing the liquidity of Islamic capital market instruments.
