Words of Wisdom - the Editor

Peace.
Got busy with a new project. So couldn’t add more news. Although I came across a fine article by a brother on the history and future of Islamic Banking. I was surprised to know that Islamic banking had beginnings in 1975. Wow. That’s almost as early as my birth. And I guess if there are enough like minded people any idea is bound to grow. I too used to wonder if I can invest without plunging into interest based transactions.

UK I noticed is taking some fine initiatives to promote Shariah Finance. Also came across a western brother or atleast who calls Muslims his brothers and sisters but laughs cynically at the DOW Islamic index as 'bending backwards' to accommodate those guys who have four wives and cut of peoples hands. O well some people just don't get it, do they?

BBT gets new head of banking division

BBT has announced the appointment of Evan Grous as the new head of its banking, accountancy and finance division, operating out of the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).

Grous, an Australian national, joins BBT from a search and recruitment company in Sydney, Australia, where he was business manager for Asia and the Middle East.

The banking, accountancy and finance division focuses on investment; local and international banking; Islamic banking; private equity; accounting into industry sectors; insurance; global resourcing and HR consultancy services.

The division opened in 2007 in response to the rapid growth in the sector within the region, with its epicentre in the DIFC, and the associated demand for world-class skills. BBT is working to attract specialists in areas such as Islamic banking and finance to Dubai, through its global network of resourcing offices.
