Despite its recent financial and political challenges, the US remains one of the world’s most influential economies – and perhaps one of the last remaining frontiers for Islamic finance. Despite an estimated Muslim population of between two and 12 million the industry has failed to gain much ground on the domestic side, with the lion’s share of activity occurring in the investment space from Middle Eastern funding flows into the country.
