Shari'ah compliant finance


Islamic finance products are Shari’ah compliant, debt-like securities.  This type of security does not use an interest rate to account for time value of money, and requires an exchange of tangible assets to accompany the issuing process. Money cannot be considered as a product.

London is a major listing venue that provides exposure to one of the largest capital market pools in the world. Its professionals have more than 30 years of experience in dealing with Islamic finance.

The Exchange is one of the world’s most prominent centres when it comes to issuing Shari’ah compliant products. It puts the necessary infrastructure to facilitate both primary and secondly market development at issuers' disposal.


Listing in London provides a unique proximity to key debt managers and advisers which translates into a quick and straightforward process of issuing debt. Apart from the diversified audience of the UK financial market, issuing debt on the Exchange provides an exceptional profile building opportunity. 

UK tax regulation treats Islamic debt finance in a smiliar manner to that of conventional debt issuance, thereby avoiding over-taxation. In addition, the UK’s flexible legal system allows for efficient inclusion of necessary regulation governing Islamic finance into its judicial system, providing necessary protection for both issuers and holders.

The Exchange has already admitted a number of Islamic finance products and our team is on hand to provide support and guidance.

If you wish to admit Shari'ah compliant equity products to trading on one of our markets, please visit the 'Our markets' section of our website for more information.
