Islamic finance has been emerging as a viable corporate finance alternative in the UK, highlighted by several, public landmark transactions. These include the most recent in which a UK Islamic Bank purchased a Rolls Royce manufacturing and logistics facility located in Scotland. Others include the Qatari financing for Europe’s tallest building, the Shard of Glass and funding for the redevelopment of the Chelsea Barracks.
