Why are major financial institutions struggling to scale sustainable Islamic finance?
In this episode of Majlis & Markets, we sit down with Maya Marissa Malek, CEO of Sābiq Advisory, to unpack the critical operational gaps, compliance tensions, and commercial realities shaping modern Shariah-compliant finance.
We dive deep into the hard corporate finance mechanics that the industry often avoids, exploring:
- The Green Dilemma: The true potential of green Sukuk and regional net-zero agendas in the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
- The AI Disruption: The deployment of AI screening tools and why human expertise remains irreplaceable.
- Global Expansion: How the market is expanding into new jurisdictions like Central Asia and Africa.
Whether you want to understand how to structure cross-border transactions or how Maqasid al-Shariah aligns with global ESG frameworks, Maya delivers a masterclass in bridging market reality with ethical principles.
