Awards Report 2014

Welcome to the 2014-15 edition of the IFN Awards Guide, a bumper issue of deals, case studies and analysis of the top deals, transactions, movers and shakers of the previous year.

The past year has been seminal for the growth and development of the industry worldwide, and the Shariah compliant capital markets have taken a number of groundbreaking strides forward supported by both the sovereign and corporate sectors. We have seen new regions such as Africa break into the market, and a study of the benchmark CFA100 billion issuance from Senegal, our winner for Africa Deal of the Year.

The UK, Hong Kong and Luxembourg all entered the Islamic market in a concerted demonstration of support from non-Muslim majority nations, with issuances that should go a long way towards expanding the reach, depth and breadth of Shariah compliant instruments and consolidating their usage across the mainstream financial markets.

The corporate market has been equally active, and we have seen both government-related entities and financial institutions step up to the plate. The US$100 million commodity Murabahah deal from the ICD won our Cross-BordeR Deal of the Year, while the sale of Barclays Bank’s retail business in the Middle East to Abu Dhabi won Corporate Finance Deal of the Year.

We also bring you a wealth of case studies, analysis and articles from leading players across the board to add to your enjoyment: as well as the full results for IFN’s Best Islamic Banks Poll 2014, Best Islamic Service Providers 2014, Islamic Investor Awards 2014 and Islamic Law Awards 2014.

We congratulate all the winners of all the awards for the past year, and commend them for their sterling contribution towards the ongoing development of the industry. And of course as always, thank you to all our readers for your participation, dedication and collaboration. Enjoy!
