The Rationale

Why Paris, why now

France is home to Europe's largest Muslim population and to three of the world's leading banks — BNP Paribas, Société Générale and Crédit Agricole — all active in global sukuk issuance and Sharia-compliant corporate finance. Paris EUROPLACE established an Islamic Finance Commission as early as 2007, and the AMF and Paris Bourse created a dedicated sukuk listing segment with tax parity.

As the global sukuk market passes the trillion-dollar mark and ESG issuance accelerates, the time is right for a flagship gathering that connects European capital with the Islamic finance world — convened in Paris.
