Oman’s move towards establishing Islamic finance picked up pace as Ethica Institute of Islamic Finance in Dubai on 1 October announced signing Excel Institute for Administrative Training to exclusively resell Ethica’s Islamic finance certification in Oman. The exclusive partnership means that all of Ethica’s certification, including the award-winning Certified Islamic Finance Executive (CIFE), will be marketed through Excel in Oman.
Mohammed Al Barwani, CEO of Excel Oman, said, “Through partnering with global players in Islamic finance like Ethica, we believe that our services will comply to best practices, meet AAOIFI-standards, and be recognised for partnering with the best and most trusted Islamic financing programmes.” Excel Oman is a subsidiary of Safety Technical Services which has a countrywide network across Oman and also operates in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, India, and the United Kingdom.
