Four specialists from the Islamic finance world look at how to make up for this shortfall. There has been a spike in the number of sukuk issued outside the Muslim world.

But while demand is up, there remains a significant number of regulatory and operational obstacles in issuing these sharia-compliant bonds. The sharp fall in Gulf property markets has dampened confidence in a market that many expected to be relatively immune to the global financial crisis. But sharia-compliant assets are still growing, and perhaps tougher times will encourage a more sophisticated industry. Better product segmentation and a focus on deeply underbanked markets in the Muslim world is the best way for Islamic banks to continue to expand in the context of a slower global economy.
