摘要

Until recently, the growth of the Islamic finance industry has been defined along regional lines. This has meant that the global Islamic finance market's two dominant geographies - south-east Asia and the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) - have evolved somewhat independently of one another, both in terms of regulation and participating investors. While this situation is beginning to change as Islamic banks expand outside of their domestic markets and sukuk issuance becomes increasingly global, this legacy of regionalism has shaped one of the key challenges facing the Islamic finance sector today: how to achieve greater cross-border regulatory and financial harmonisation.
