Kuwait Finance House has launched sister company Liquidity Management House for Investment KSCC (Liquidity House, Kuwait) to serve the Malaysian market.
The firm aims to be a principal player in the international sukuk market and Shariah-compliant structured finance.
Emad Al Monayea, Liquidity Management House's chairman and managing director, said Malaysia has an advanced and sophisticated sukuk regulatory framework and the group is keen to capitalise on the opportunities available.
He also hopes to help raise sukuk and structured finance products to improve on last year's total of about $14bn.
