Reuters Summit on Islamic Banking and Finance

Reuters recently put together a Summit on Islamic banking and finance in Manama, Bahrain and has a dedicated site that lists all of the articles (and several video interviews with industry leaders):

The articles are too numerous to mention individually, but range from the controversy over commodity murabaha to sukuk issuance in 2008 (estimated by Ernst & Young at around $100 billion, a huge leap over the total from 2007) and a new Shari'ah-compliant REIT (the first) in China to finance shopping malls.
