So Bibble makes himself a spaceship of bubbles and flies to earth, where he meets Bobby. Unable to speak each other's language, they use bubbles to become friends. Of course, it is soon time for Bibble to go home, but Bobby won t forget him.
The implementation of new technologies is expected to boost the
development of Islamic Finance by increasing accessibility to
banking and other financial services in Islamic communities and
democratizing access to investment opportunities. At the same time,
new technologies will increase financing opportunities and
facilitate asset management for Sharia-compliant businesses. This
collection of essays from selected experts in the field comprise
some of the most topical issues on Islamic Fintech, combining a
business focus with legal insights. The book takes as a point of
departure the role that Islamic Fintech can play in promoting
sustainability. The social vision of welfare improvement and
justice is already embedded in Sharia's economic rules, which makes
Islamic Finance particularly well suited to bridge the gap between
sustainability and funding. Although it is not without challenges
for the industry, technology will help unleash its potential. With
a holistic approach to Islamic Fintech, the contributing authors
address the application of new technologies to Islamic Finance,
including robo-advisory, crowdfunding and digital ledger technology
(both in the issuance of bitcoin and the registration of securities
in tokenized form) and in certain sectors such as takaful
(takaful-tech) and health (e-health). Finally, they explore the
challenges posed by anti-money laundering ('AML') in the specific
realm of Islamic Fintech. The book combines theoretical analysis
with a practical focus, both through case studies and directly
through the experiences of leading entrepreneurs. In addition, it
provides insights on legal and regulatory aspects, which are key in
a field that is still in its infancy and needs support from
lawmakers and regulators. It is, thus, a reference for academics,
legal practitioners, policymakers, entrepreneurs and the Islamic
Finance community.
