HONG KONG - CAPITAL MARKETS - BONDS: Hong Kong welcomes sukuk rules

www.ifrasia.com - Market participants have welcomed Hong Kong’s move to introduce new rules for Islamic as an important step towards the development of its own Islamic bond market

Hong Kong launched on March 29 a two-month consultation on legislative amendments designed to level the playing field between conventional and Islamic products.

“It is an important step forward in the right direction as it will establish an appropriate infrastructure for Islamic products in Hong Kong,” said Davide Barzelai, a partner at Norton Rose. “It will level the playing field between Islamic and conventional bonds.”  (source)
