It aims to provide the participants with a comprehensive understanding of Islamic leasing and leasing based securities, through a series of lectures and case studies.

Islamic banking and insurance is regarded as one of the fastest growing areas of modern international finance, and the potential for this exciting market is only just being realised. Over recent years the sector has grown rapidly and it is projected to make huge strides in years to come.
