A new Malaysia-based Islamic finance body â the Association of Shariah Advisors in Islamic Finance â has recently proposed to develop a global code of ethics and a professional development programme for scholars to address a lack of standardisation in the industry.

They also discuss the challenges of reaching a critical mass and marketing to non-Muslim investors.Chaired by Stefanie Eschenbacher.
