The global Halal economy and the Islamic fi nance industry are natural economic partners as both contribute toward the sound and prospering Halal ecosystem. The Halal industry is going global by virtue of its qualitative strength, essential elements of religion, health and holistic wellness. Halal, which simply means permissible and lawful, is associated with a religious and spiritual foundation under Islam. The scope of Halal is beyond religious practices and is all about a sense of morality and guide to living a good and wholesome life. Halal has turned into a brand and is being accepted globally. The Halal industry, which is valued at about US$560 billion a year, serves to meet the needs of Halal-conscious clients and is growing at an estimated annual rate of 20%. The global Halal products and services sector is growing at 8% yearon- year and currently valued at US$3.2 trillion (excluding Islamic fi nance) which is expected to reach US$12.14 trillion by 2024, according to Hexa Research.
