More women than men invest in domestic retail sukuk - Dwi Irianti, Indonesia's director of Islamic finance
This Q&A is with Dwi Irianti Hadiningdyah, Director of Islamic Finance, Ministry of Finance, Indonesia. It is part of Salaam Gateway’s International Women's Day 2020 series that is co-designed and curated by Nyra Mahmood, MD of UK-based Simply Sharia Human Capital (SSHC LTD), the publishers of the 2016 report "Women in Islamic Finance & Islamic Economy”.
The Indonesia government was very late to issue sukuk, only starting six years after neighbour Malaysia sold its first global sovereign paper. Dwi Irianti Hadiningdyah is a leader and an active contributor to the development of Indonesia’s sukuk market since the country first started drafting its sukuk bill in 2005. Fresh from earning a Masters in Economics from the University of Delaware, Dwi Irianti was appointed by Sri Mulyani Indrawati, during her first stint as finance minister, to lead the drafting of the bill to be signed by parliament. The whole process culminated in parliament passing the bill on May 7, 2008.
