The Financial Services Authority (OJK) is considering providinga legal basis for Islamic real estate investment trustees (REITs) in the third quarter of 2016, hoping that it will attract more property investors, especiallythosefrom the Middle East. OJK deputy director of sharia market Muhammad Touriqsaidthedemandfor Islamic REITs would be enormous as Indonesia had many Islamic institutions such as takaful ( Islamic insurance ) companies that need medium-term investment and Middle Eastern investors. “Takaful companies are interested in investing in the REITs, but have failed to do so as the existing REITs are not sharia-compliant. Middle Eastern investors also preferto invest in property. We’re working on the rule right now. We hope to finish it in the third or fourth quarter of this year,” he told thejakartapost. com in Jakarta on Wednesday. Topik dari berita tersebut adalah mengenai permintaan mengenai REITs (real estate investment trustees) yang berbasis Islam di Indonesia.
