Emad Mansour of Qatar First Investment Bank

Islamic banking in Qatar is the topic du jour of the industry at present. Islamic Business & Finance spoke to Emad Mansour, Chief Executive Officer of Qatar First Investment Bank, about being the centre of attention.

Fundamentals

Investors are counting on the Islamic funds industry to produce ground-breaking investment products; if it obliges, the investment world could be its oyster

The weakest link

Shari’ah-compliant investment banks, which limped out of the financial crisis in far worse shape than their retail counterparts, must brush up their act if
they are to recover and fulfil their vital role in the future of the Islamic finance industry

Concerns over compliant scholars

Are Shari’ah Boards fulfilling their responsibilities? Has the growth of Islamic finance created the potential for greater conflicts of interest?
