The Islamic
economy stands in stark contrast, offering a viable solution to success in the
21st century, at a time where the International Monetary Fund warns that the
global economy is sliding into “secular stagnation” due to a slump in commodity
prices and a slowdown in investments,
Today, Islamic
banking assets are estimated to total around $1.65 trillion and are expected to
double over the next four years, while expenditure on halal food and Muslim
lifestyle is forecast to grow by 10 per cent annually reaching $3.7 trillion by
2019.
The Global
Islamic Economy Summit (GIES) is the world’s largest and most comprehensive

The summit
brings together influential policymakers and experts held under the patronage
of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime
Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai is to address the greatest challenges
and opportunities in the Islamic economy.
