Deloitte Middle East Islamic Finance Knowledge Center survey
|
The context
Policymakers and energy industry leaders around the world continue to look for equity finance for sustainable infrastructure energy projects and ways to improve energy efficiency and the production of renewable energy.
In addition, more generally, the energy sector remains attractive to investors, owing to a favorable global business environment and proactive sustainable and environment regulatory changes. However, financing these capital-intensive projects undoubtedly remains a challenge. In this context, Islamic Finance has great potential to take its natural share of funding some of the huge capital investment projects in the energy and renewable sectors around the world.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) reports that more than US$1.6 trillion was invested in 2013 in energy supply (a figure that has more than doubled in real terms since 2000), and a further US$130 billion to improve energy efficiency.
