Group Chief Strategy Officer at KFH, Eng. Fahad Khaled Al-Mukhaizeem, confirmed on receiving the delegation at KFH Headquarters, that Islamic finance has become an integral part of the global economy in light of the huge acceptance of the sharia-compliant products and services that encompass different transactions such as Murabaha, Ijara, Istisnaa, sukuk and so forth.
