The
following is the criteria used to develop the
DS100 - Top 100 Companies of the Muslim World:
|
-
Only OIC country based, domestic (majority owned)
businesses included
-
Subsidiaries of Foreign Companies not included
- Top
100 Ranked by revenue in US$ for End of Year
2005 (Unless noted otherwise)
- For
Banks- Interest and Non-Interest revenue; For
Insurance Companies- Premium, annuity Income,
Investment income, gains and losses, excludes
deposits
- In
addition to the Publicly listed Companies, Private
and Government held entities are also included
- To
truly reflect top businesses in the region,
it was important to include Private and Government
entities. It is recognized that this would leave
open the possibility of many companies not included
due to non-availibility of public data. Dinar
Standard has made extensive attempts to make
this list comprehensive. However, we recognize
that we may have either missed some companies
or the data was simply not available due to
company policies not to diclose financial data.
DS100 will reflect any updates in the Corrections
section.
- Holding
Companies were included (For Holding Companies
included, their subsidiaries were not included)
- Central
Banks not included
- Companies that are headquartered in Non-OIC countries but company majority operations in OIC country and shares held majority by OIC member country resident(s)
Sources:
- For
publicly listed companies Annual Reports or
data posted by the Public markets were used.
In other cases, various publicly available sources
were used. These include sources such as Arab
News, Hoovers.com, Forbes Magazine, Financial
Times, Bloomberg, Dow Jones News Wires,
Privatization Commisions, Chambers of Commerce,
and Organizations such as OPEC. In addition
many of the companies were contacted directly
to verify the data.
