The Islamic Finance Committee is a vehicle for the examination and discussion of Islamic finance among members of the ABA, the larger legal community, and business, academic and other interested communities. Islamic finance is the conduct of financial and commercial activities in accordance with Islamic shar?`ah (an Arabic term that includes Islamic law), and is one of the most rapidly growing areas of finance. The IFCO's geographic scope is global, coterminous with the range of the Islamic finance industry. The IFCO focuses on legal and business matters and trends, including developments in shari`ah scholarship and jurisprudence, innovations in shari`ah-compliant products, cross-border investment trends, the development of Islamic capital markets, regulation of the Islamic finance industry, and the international legal community's responses to the escalating relevance of Islamic finance.
