Summary:

Islamic banking has seen rapid growth during the Last two decades as a result of economic increases in the Islamic world, fueled primarily by oil wealth. The main issues of concern surrounding this growth ace the conceptual framework and viability of interest-free banking and the assessment of its performance in the future. In a world where conventional interest-based finance is the dominant framework, Islamic banking faces many challenges. This book is the first to-address different Islamic banking issues from both the researchers' and practitioners' perspectives across the world, reviewing their past experiences with Islamic banks to provide an objective assessment of their successes and failures, and to discuss the contemporary issues and challenges confronting them, Islamic banking systems are not only popular within Islamic banks, but are also popular with international and other conventional banks. Many of them, Including Citibank and HSBC, are adopting Islamic banking in order to serve their new clients around the world with their specific needs. Book jacket.
