Manama: The UAE was ranked third on the inaugural 2015 Islamic Growth Markets Investments Index, which ranks countries’ investment potential relative to other members within the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC).

The report was released today by Thomson Reuters in cooperation with DinarStandard Foundation, consulting and research specialists in the field of Islamic markets, during the Islamic Investment Portal Forum In Bahrain.

The index is based on a set of standards — growth momentum, investment momentum and comparative risk — covering nine categories of growth in a country.
