Abstract

In the light of Qatar’s huge ongoing infrastructure developments projects, the discussion on infrastructure financing was carried out with particular reference to the role that the Islamic finance industry can play to participate in the efforts. Special attention was given to understand ground realities and challenges; feasible measures towards reducing barriers in accessing Islamic finance; create more sustainable, genuine and ethical Shari’ah compliant products; and encourage a more robust economy that meets the needs of all segments of society. UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) also stress for infrastructure investments such as increasing access to affordable housing and basic services, upgrading slums, substantially increasing health and education financing, and supporting least developed countries in building sustainable and resilient buildings.
