MH Avocats takes stance in Islamic Finance Advisory

ISFIN has teamed up with MH Avocats, leading advisory firm in business law in Tunisia.

Prof. Laurent MARLIERE, CEO of ISFIN, says, “Tunisia has witnessed changes in the recent years and in 2016, the country has shown its will to be considered as an actor of the Islamic financial world through authorising new Shariah compliant banks and new companies in the sub-financial sectors like Takaful, asset management and Islamic funds. Indeed, after the revolution, the Tunisian government has initiated several steps to facilitate many Shariah compliant transactions like Sukuk, Shariah compliant funds and even Shariah compliant products.

“In 2016, the Tunisian Solidarity Bank (or BTS in French) has financed 1,000 projects via an Islamic banking system and it is said that Tunisia will issue a US$500 million Sukuk by the beginning of 2016.

“We believe various opportunities exist in Tunisia, not only in Islamic finance but in other halal sectors also. ” Adds Marlière.
