Congratulations to Sarah Hosni for her exceptional leadership at AlBaraka Capital and AlBaraka Sukuk, cementing her position as a leading figure in Egypt’s Islamic finance sector.
Since becoming Managing Director of AlBaraka Capital in 2022, Hosni has transformed the company into a key player in Egypt’s Islamic finance landscape. She spearheaded the launch of the country’s first Sharia-compliant Revenue-Based Finance (RBF) Fund, aimed at supporting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in manufacturing. Her leadership has also extended to sectors like healthcare, agriculture, and sports, aligning AlBaraka Capital with global best practices.
As Chairperson of AlBaraka Sukuk, Hosni expanded the company’s offerings, providing structured Islamic finance solutions for large corporations. Under her guidance, the company secured regulatory approvals from the Financial Regulatory Authority (FRA) and established a Sharia Board to ensure compliance with Islamic principles.
Hosni’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of Islamic finance leaders is a cornerstone of her vision. Through mentoring and guiding professionals in FRA licensing, she aims to foster skilled leaders who can drive innovation and create Sharia-compliant financial products. Her efforts also align with Egypt’s national goals of empowering women in finance, with a decree to increase female representation on boards to 30% by 2030.
Recognized as The Most Influential Female Leader in the Egyptian Financial Market in March 2023 by The Daily News Egypt, Hosni continues to inspire the financial community with her focus on diversity, innovation, and ethical finance.
Through her pioneering work at AlBaraka Capital and AlBaraka Sukuk, Hosni is reshaping Egypt’s financial sector and creating a sustainable and inclusive future for the economy. As an advocate for women’s empowerment and innovation in Islamic finance, she remains at the forefront of transforming opportunities for businesses and investors in Egypt.
