A possible solution to Australia’s Housing Crisis: Islamic Finance | Talal Yassine | TEDxSydney

The Australian housing market has become a nightmare for many due to skyrocketing prices and availability, locking out a huge majority of the population from being able to purchase a home. Islamic finance offers an ethical and equitable alternative with its human-centered approach, allowing gradual home equity purchase without mortgages or interest rates. When engaging with Islamic Finance you are entering a partnership, with profits and losses shared between the buyer and the bank. Experienced business leader Talal Yassine addresses our current inequities and offers a possible solution to help many Australians be in a position to purchase their own home, Islamic Finance.
