3. In a year that will go down in history, the
COVID-19 pandemic set off an unprecedented
chain reaction of global economic disruption.
Businesses, investors, and governments
across the global and Islamic economy found
themselves embroiled in a financial crisis.
Some used this disruption to pivot, while some
businesses flourished. This eighth edition of
the State of the Global Islamic Economy Report
covers developments over this landmark year —
pre- and post-COVID-19.
