FAAIF Announces Introduction to Sukuk Two-Day Workshop at Sofitel Hotel in New York City October 11-12, 2014
Announcement posted by FAAIF 21 Sep 2014
The US has seen two major sukuk issuances including the East Cameron Gas Sukuk, which was the first ever musharakah sukuk in America backed by oil and gas assets maturing in 2006 and the General Electric Sukuk, which is an ijarah sukuk backed by aircraft leases due for maturity in November, 2014. Although the Cameron Gas Sukuk experienced some technical difficulties, the General Electric Sukuk is performing well and there is a large potential for sukuk in the United States as a capital raising instrument for American firms and government. In fact, both the state of New York and the state of Illinois have initiated state bills in their legislatures enabling sukuk transactions.
Paldi is excited to bring high profile trainers to New York including Brian Kettell, the mostly widely published author on Islamic Banking and Finance in the world and Zubair Mughal, the CEO of the prestigious Al Huda Center of Islamic Banking and Economics. This is a must attend event for anyone interested in tapping into the global Islamic Banking and Finance forum. Paldi looks forward to bringing innovate training events on similar topics to US audiences all over the nation in the near future. Registration can be conducted through the Event Website at http://faaif-flyer.web-durham.co.uk. Inquiries can be directed to camille@faaif.com.
