Industry Growth

Islamic banking transactions are backed by underlying assets. The asset-backed securities that are so prevalent in the U.S.
market fit in well with Islamic banking principles – as long as the assets are Islamically acceptable. The trend in the
Islamic banking industry is to develop asset-backed securities as Islamic investment vehicles. In fact, the latest product
that we have introduced is a liquidity management product, which is structured as an asset-backed security using U.S. lease
assets.

Participants Comments

I After 10 years of work in marketing, I decided to switch my field and enrolled in CIFE. I thanks AIMS, its Learning Model and the faculty for their online educational support. CIFE is more than a training. Through this training, I learned each and
every aspect required for a good career in an Islamic Finance industry. After completing this program, I joined a Bank in
Jeddah and shortly accepted a great offer from a newly established Islamic Bank in Dubai as a Product Development Manager. I’m happy that I am earning a lot. I strongly recommend this experience to everyone who wants to be successful not only in
their jobs but in their lives.

CIB from AIMS was initially recommended to me by my friend. Considering the industry growth of this industry, I enrolled in this program. I believe that CIB opens learning avenues to give opportunities, knowledge and expertise to the professionals of various walks of life. The quality of lectures, study material & online educational support at AIMs is extremely great. My overall impression about the program is that it is a “MUST DO” certification for those who wants to start or excel their career in Islamic Banking and Finance.
