Evolution of Islamic Finance in the Capital Markets: An Examination of the Sukuk Market
Thursday, Oct 16 | 12:00–1:30 PM
Islamic finance remains one of the fastest-growing yet underrepresented areas in global markets — with total Islamic-compliant assets projected to rise from $5.5 trillion to $7.5 trillion by 2028. This event, presented by Saturna Capital, will explore the evolution of sukuk (Islamic-compliant fixed-income instruments) and their growing role in global capital markets.

Professional Opportunity | BCG Middle East
Our friends at Boston Consulting Group (BCG) Middle East are hosting a series of upcoming virtual and in-person events for MBA students interested in consulting careers across Dubai, Doha, and Riyadh. These sessions are a great opportunity to connect with consultants, learn about career paths in the region, and explore recruiting opportunities.
Events include From Intern to Impact: BCG Career Journey (Oct 23), Women Connect (Oct 30), and the Middle East Virtual Café (Oct 27–31). BCG will also visit several campuses in early November — including NYU Stern — for in-person recruiting events.
