Return to the Knowledge Portal

Islamic finance has witnessed a rapid growth in recent years. In 2019, the value of Islamic banking assets was estimated to be around USD 1.99 trillion. Within this area of finance is growing interest in environmentally themed products. “Green Sukuk” are Shari’ah compliant investments in renewable energy and other environmental assets. Proceeds are used to finance construction, to refinance construction debt, or to finance the payment of a government-granted green subsidy. They may involve securitizing future income cash flows from ring-fenced projects or assets with specific criteria attached.
