PUBLICATIONS - Opalesque Islamic Finance Intelligence - Fifteenth Issue

 The fifteenth edition of OIFI is here (download the PDF version) and you might notice our front cover is slightly different. Since inception we have avoided profiling any specific individual or personality, in part to differentiate OIFI with so many other finance publications and because our focus has always been poignant and relevant content (not to mention the fact that such portraits are cheesy too). This edition explores, among other things, the conscience of the industry as we ask ourselves: What is Islamic finance? What is the message being conveyed? Who can be part of this industry? How do we communicate the message more effectively? The front cover illustrates this puzzle (and hints to the answers).
