The Euromoney Islamic finance awards are judged by a panel made up of Euromoney’s Editor, our journalists covering the region and the head of our awards research department.

Euromoney’s methodology for honoring institutions is intended to give our readers a combination of specific data and unique insight into the direction of growth and development in the global Islamic finance industry.
