Halal textiles; AAOIFI Standard 62

Jumada Al Thani 15, 1446 AH

Asalam U Alaikum,

As we approach the end of this year, we spotlight the bellwethers of the global Islamic economy. For instance, the chatter around halal textiles is suggestive of its growth and innovation potential. But it does not come without significant challenges. Read our main story in this newsletter to find out. 

On the Islamic finance front, AAOIFI Standard 62's final form is awaited, whose impact will hinge on the jurisdictions and entities that adopt it. 

Lastly, we pray for the peace and prosperity of Muslims the world over.
