In the near future, I strongly believe that Sukuk will grow significantly as it can be developed to have various forms of contracts with attractive features offering competitive returns and liquidity. In addition, the existences of excess liquidity from surplus savings in Asia and oil revenues countries across Middle East become a potential demand for Sukuk.
This opportunity can be used by the government or private companies to issue Sukuk as an alternative financing source. The current positive trend of issuing Sukuk for financing government’s infrastructure projects provides a good signal of support from the government that should be maintained.
