The Growing Importance of Islamic Finance

• Islamic finance refers to a system of financing or banking activity

that is consistent with the principles of Islamic law (Shariah) and

its practical application through the development of Islamic

economics.

• The approximate total size of the Islamic Finance market was

estimated to be $1.3 trillion at the end of 2009 (s: Global Islamic Finance Report, 2010)

• The figure is estimated to grow to $2 trillion over the next 3-5 yrs (s: Dr Zeti Akhtar Aziz, Governor of the Central Bank of Malaysia, 2010)

• Islamic financial institutions (IFI’s) operate in over 75 countries,

many of which are nations with only a minority of Muslims in the

population
