According to Dinar Standard Muslim consumer spending on food and lifestyle has reached $1.8 trillion in 2014 and is projected to reach $2.6 trillion in 2020.* This means a very significant consumer group is emerging which offers great opportunities for private and public sector businesses and organisations to diversify their customer base and increase revenues. The focus of MLE Connect is to help business professionals understand how to reach this market and share the wealth of opportunities.
