‘Yes’ to Islamic finance


Meeting of minds: Najib giving a speech as WIEF Foundation chairman Tun Musa Hitam (left) and secretary-general Tan Sri Ahmad Fuzi Haji Abdul Razak look on during WIEF forum in Kuala Lumpur.

KUALA LUMPUR: More non-Muslims are using Islamic finance than Muslims in Malaysia and that is an indication of how widespread the support and acceptance for it is, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

Najib said the popularity of Islamic finance around the world was bolstered by the global financial crisis in 2008.
