View award winners

Lead manager: CIMB Last year one of Euromoney’s awards went to the IFFIm sukuk which funded immunization programmes: a rare example of Islamic finance being used to achieve a social good.

This year we reward Ihsan – a vehicle of Khazanah, the Malaysian sovereign wealth fund – for a small but intriguing deal designed to support the transformation of schools, under the Yayasan AMIR trust schools programme. This is a non-profit scheme that aims to increase access to quality education in Malaysia’s government schools.
