As the world comes to grips with slower economic growth and uncertain markets, investors must seek new prospects to maximize returns. The Shariah compliant space has emerged as one of the most exciting and promising markets for new growth opportunities

As quoted by Islamic Finance News, Islamic retail system is to build a “fully integrated socially responsible financial system” which over the past five years, as the conventional system has been rocked by financial and economic crises, has benefited from a growing social profile as a safer and more ethical method of banking. President Obama famously commented on the 2008 financial crisis that: “The crisis was born of a failure of responsibility –from Wall Street all the way to Washington…” 

This is where Islamic Retail Banking steps in, as “The key advantage of Islamic retail banking is the maintenance of a strong sense of social responsibility. This perceived advantage has led to considerably increased interest in the sector from the international financial community, looking for a safe haven.”

According to - Moinuddin Malim, Chief Executive Officer - Mashreq Al Islami “During next 5 years, Islamic banking & finance will witness tremendous growth opportunities in new territories; however, only those will be able to successfully penetrate the new markets who have completed their product offerings that are at par with the conventional banking in terms of servicing, delivery channels and efficiency. Islamic retail banking and financing will be able to create a bigger impact by meeting the customer needs and providing solutions which are Shari’ah compliant.”
