Help Middle Eastern investors understand Asian sukuk

There is a need to help Middle Eastern investors understand Asian sukuk, because if investors from the Middle East become familiar with Asian sukuk, it can be a driving force for more of its issuance in Asia. The statement came from Rafe Haneef, HSBC Amanah Malaysia Bhd chief executive officer.
He stated that infrastructure projects in Asia and the Middle East are anticipated to lead the growth of sukuk issuance this year, adding that Malaysia's biggest toll expressway company has recently launched a US$10 billion sukuk.
