The industry's growth is supported by strong Islamic fund performance and new regulatory frameworks. Sukuk instruments are primarily aimed at financing the real sector and infrastructure projects. The confirmation of Malaysia and Saudi Arabia as leading markets reinforces the financial standing of these nations.
