About the awards

Euromoney’s Islamic Finance Awards recognise banks, fund managers and financial institutions that have demonstrated leadership in advancing Islamic finance standards, creating value for clients and contributing to the sustainable growth of the industry worldwide.

By highlighting best practices and pioneering achievements, these awards reinforce the importance of ethical finance and showcase the organisations shaping the future of Islamic banking.

Clients look to these awards as a stamp of approval – a stamp of a bank they can rely on to help them grow and innovate

Our continuous research cycle

Co-create Collect Validate Research Engage

Co-create with the market

We work with banks to define each programme. Together we identify the metrics, capabilities and client outcomes that matter most, ensuring the research reflects real strategic priorities.

Proprietary data collection

Data is collected throughout the year. We combine institutional submissions, structured metrics and direct client feedback gathered via large-scale surveys. This creates datasets that do not exist elsewhere.

Validation and scoring

All inputs pass through a structured analytical framework. Quantitative evidence, qualitative submissions and client sentiment are validated, challenged and scored to ensure our decisions are consistent, evidence-based and analytically robust.

Research outputs

Validated datasets are delivered as performance rankings, client sentiment benchmarks and award outcomes. These provide a structured view of competitive positioning across products and markets.

Analyst engagement

Our analysts deliver findings directly to clients and provide clarity on results and methodology. Ongoing dialogue drives refinement ensuring each research cycle evolves and the underlying dataset continuously improves.
