In a statement posted on Hull University Business
School’s website, Haniffa talks about the opportunities for Yorkshire
businesses to get involved in Islamic finance.
“A significant proportion of the UK Muslim community lives and works in the Yorkshire region. Yet banks offering the Shari’ah-compliant services of Islamic finance are still few and far between,” he said.
He stated that over the last few years, there has been encouragement from the UK Government for the growth of Islamic finance in the UK through legislative adjustments and creating a supportive environment, but this has focused on promoting the financial centre of London. (source)
