Bloomberg Television recently took an in-depth look at the 1.3 trillion USD Islamic Finance industry in its six-part series “Faith in Finance.” The series investigated this revolutionary approach to banking and finance that seeks to combine the best of capitalism and the ethics of Islam.
Dr. Issam Tlemsani’s expertise was called upon for the filming of Episode 1: “Islamic Finance: Is a New Financial Model Possible?” The film spot was shot on site at the Zayed University campus in Abu Dhabi.
In the film, he explains: “history has proved that the economy is stronger if there is no interest. Basically, if you don’t have interest what would you do with your money? You would not keep your money because your money is losing value. The best thing to do with your money is to get rid of it. And how do you get rid of it? You invest it in the real economy.”
