           financiers dédiés aux investisseurs de religion
           musulmane.      4 Commentaires

           En novembre, les responsables des banques centrales islamiques se retrouveront à Luxembourg. Pas un hasard.

           La finance islamique au Grand-Duché, «L'histoire remonte déjà à 1983», rappelle
           Eleanor de Rosmorduc, chargée des relations publiques de l'agence Luxembourg for
           finance (LFF). À cette date, la première société arabe d'assurance s'installait sur la
           Place. En 2002, la Bourse de Luxembourg était la première en Occident à coter une
           action «fonctionnant» selon les critères de la charia.

           Aujourd'hui, le Luxembourg est le deuxième pays non arabe en termes de gestion de
           fonds privés d'investissement islamiques. «Mais au-delà des 500 millions d'euros
           d'actifs actuels, les établissements pourraient collecter plus». D'où la page spéciale
           sur le site web de LFF pour présenter aux convertis à l'islam habitant en Europe les
           possibilités offertes ici. Sachant que Londres a déjà saisi cette chance depuis
           longtemps. «La finance islamique répond à des règles. Ce ne sont pas des religieux
           qui veillent à leur respect mais bien des juristes», précise Eleanor de Rosmorduc.

           Pas d'argent investi dans toute activité liée au jeu ou à l'alcool, ou aucun taux
           d'intérêt avancé. «L'idée n'est pas d'attirer une banque de Dubai au Luxembourg,
           mais bien des fonds occidentaux et les gérer selon la gouvernance de la charia et
           dans le respect des lois de l'Union».

          explique que cette initiative s’inscrit dans une démarche de long terme. La place financière croit

          Madame de Rosmorduc, pourquoi lancer un site, ou en tout cas une section de votre site, dédié à la finance
          islamique?
          «C’est une section, mais elle est très visible. On peut presque parler d’un site à part entière. Cela répond à une
          logique de positionnement et de visibilité. Nous voulions montrer l’étendue de nos compétences dans ce domaine.
          Depuis deux ans, nous avons mis l’accent sur la promotion d’un secteur sur lequel le Luxembourg est en avance sur
          la plupart des pays européens. Le Grand-Duché a été le premier à accueillir une compagnie d’assurance (Takaful)
          conforme à la charia, en 1983. Il a également été le premier à enregistrer la cotation en Bourse d’un sukuk (obligation
          islamique) en 2002.
          Par la suite, le gouvernement a lancé une task force en 2008, avec l’idée de devenir une place de référence dans ce
          domaine. Et l’Alfi a lancé un groupe de travail à Dubaï. Nous nous sommes rendu compte assez rapidement que
          notre cadre légal se prêtait très bien à ce genre d’affaires. La Banque centrale du Luxembourg a été la première d’un
          pays non islamique à devenir membre de l’IFSB (Islamic Financial Services Board), le bureau qui crée les normes et
          les best practices. La conférence annuelle de l’IFSB se tiendra d’ailleurs en mai au Luxembourg.
          Ce positionnement n’est-il pas déjà bien connu des professionnels?
          «Les gens identifient le Luxembourg comme un pays ‘open to business’, mais beaucoup cherchent à s’informer. En
          associant Luxembourg et finance islamique sur un moteur de recherche, ils seront directement renvoyés à notre site
          officiel. Cela leur permet d’effectuer leur travail de recherche en amont, d’avoir un bon aperçu des lois, du traitement
          fiscal des différents produits. Il y a de très nombreux musulmans en Europe, mais très peu de services financiers de
          type islamique. Ce n’est pas une banque établie à Bahreïn qui va les distribuer. Ils doivent donc se domicilier en
          Europe.
          Quels sont les domaines les plus prometteurs au Luxembourg en matière de finance islamique?
          «Pour l’instant, deux secteurs sont bien développés, les fonds d’investissement et les obligations islamiques. Nous
          recensons entre 37 et 39 fonds islamiques au Grand-Duché. Cela représente environ 7% du marché mondial. Sur les
          sukuk, nous sommes aussi bien placés que Londres, avec environ 15 obligations. Mais le secteur pour lequel nous
          envisageons la croissance la plus forte dans le futur, c’est l’assurance islamique. C’est là où nous voyons le plus
          grand avenir et nous sommes bien positionnés, en tant que pays, dans ce domaine.»

          Published on 05/01/2011 by Associated Press / Stephen Lowe | Read 194 times.

          The agency responsible for the development of Luxembourg's financial centre, Luxembourg for Finance (LFF),
          has enhanced its website content by adding a section dedicated to shariah-compliant products and services.

          The website, which is available both in English and French, can be accessed through the agency's existing portal
          www.lff.lu.

          In a statement released earlier this week, the LFF said: “The launch of a dedicated website is just the latest step
          in a determined campaign to promote the development of Islamic finance in Luxembourg. The Luxembourg
          government is committed to diversifying its financial centre, and supports this campaign.”

          “Increasingly recognized as a leading Islamic finance centre, Luxembourg is the most popular European
          domicile for shariah-compliant investment funds and can rival any stock exchange in Europe for the number of
          sukuk issues listed.”

           The Luxembourg financial centre now has a website
           dedicated to Islamic finance
         03 January 2011
         Luxembourg for Finance, the agency for the development of the Luxembourg financial center, has enhanced its website by the addition of
         a section dedicated to shariah compliant products and services.

         The website,which is available in English and French, can be accessed on www.islamicfinanceluxembourg.lu or via the existing
         website www.luxembourgforfinance.lu.

         Clients can use the site to do upstream research on their projects, identifying the best vehicles for particular shariah compliant structures.

         They can also identify a wide range of services providers with experience in the sector. A selection of brochures focusing on Islamic
         finance in Luxembourg can be downloaded from the website.

         The launch of a dedicated website is just the latest step in a determined campaign to promote the development of Islamic finance in
         Luxembourg. The Luxembourg Government, which policy is to diversify the financial centre, supports this campaign. Increasingly
         recognised as a leading Islamic finance center, Luxembourg is the most popular European domicile for shariah compliant investment
         funds and can rival any stock exchange in Europe for the number of sukuk issues listed.

         Luxembourg for Finance
         Luxembourg for Finance (LFF) is a public private partnership between the Luxembourg Government and the Luxembourg Financial
         Industry Federation (PROFIL).

         Its role is to contribute to the sustainable development of Luxembourg as an international financial center by means of a structured
         international communications policy and by nurturing new business sectors.

         Combining the innovative spirit of the industry and the far sightedness of the country's political leaders, LFF is committed to the
         development of an integrated and sustainable European financial market place.

         Luxembourg
         Located in the heart of Europe between Belgium, France and Germany, Luxembourg is one of the smallest countries in Europe.Granted
         independence in 1839,the Grand Duchy is a constitutional monarchy.

         On account of its size,Luxembourg has always striven to integrate itself into larger political and economic organisations.Thus Luxembourg
         was a founding member of the European Economic Community,which later became the European Union,and is part of all major
         international institutions.

         The country's traditional openness to the outside world, its political and social stability,its cosmopolitan and multilingual population,its
         highly qualified work force and modern infrastructure make Luxembourg the ideal gateway to the European market with its 500 million
         consumers. It is the acknowledged European leader in the cross border distribution of financial products and services.

         The Luxembourg financial center benefits from a legal and regulatory frame work that is reliable and flexible enough to be rapidly adapted
         to an evolving international environment. Luxembourg has been active in Islamic finance since 1978, when the first Islamic finance
         institution in a western country was established in the Grand Duchy.In1983,the first shariah compliant insurance company in Europe was
         established in Luxembourg and in 2002 Luxembourg was the first European stock exchange to list a sukuk.
