Kasper walet will deliver a 5 day training course about Commodity Markets, Derivatives & Finance to the International Islamic Trade Finance Corporation, a part of the Islamic Development Bank Group based in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. An important part of this training course will be dedicated to Sharia compliant commodity trading.

Kasper Walet states that this is a very good opportunity with my 25 years of expertise in the commodity trading and risk management business to get involved in this fast developing business area.

Islamic banking including Sharia compliant commodity trading is a fast growing business not only for Islamic companies but also for western financial institutions like HSBC and Barclays. Besides it seems that the Islamic banks were better capable of withstanding the credit crisis then their western peers.
