Islamic Finance Development in Singapore
Islamic finance in Singapore has seen significant redevelopment as the nation positions itself as a hub for Sharia-compliant financial services. The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) has supported this growth by creating a favorable regulatory framework and offering incentives to promote Islamic finance. This has attracted both Muslim and non-Muslim investors seeking ethical and sustainable investment opportunities.
Key developments include the introduction of Sharia-compliant banking products like sukuk (Islamic bonds), Islamic mutual funds, and takaful (Islamic insurance). Financial institutions such as Maybank Islamic and CIMB Islamic have expanded their offerings, making halal investments more accessible and contributing to the growth of the sector within Singapore’s financial ecosystem.
Singapore has also embraced the integration of Islamic finance with sustainable initiatives, such as green sukuk. This combination aligns Islamic finance’s ethical principles with green finance, offering investors opportunities to support environmentally responsible projects. The country’s ongoing innovation in this space strengthens its position as a leader in Islamic finance.

Furthermore, IFSG’s ZakatX service streamlines the collection and distribution of Zakat, amplifying the socio-economic impact of charitable giving within the Muslim community.

In recognition of its commitment to excellence, CGS-CIMB has been honored with prestigious awards, including ‘Best Broker’ by FinanceAsia and Alpha SEA.
