Notes to editor
A sukuk is the Islamic equivalent of a bond. However, unlike a Western bond, which confers ownership of a debt only, sukuk grants the investor a share of an asset, along with the commensurate cash flows and risk. As such, sukuk securities are in compliance with Islamic laws. They are also sometimes referred to as “sharia-compliant” bonds.
