 Islamic banking and finance has become an important aspect of the global
economic scenario. Its significance has grown over the years and some measure of
finance that meets Shariah law is now present in over 60 countries. From Jakarta
to Jeddah, 265 Islamic banks and other financial institutions are now operating
with total assets that top $262 billion, according to organizers of the
International Islamic Finance Forum.
Malaysia strategized to nurture Islamic banking and finance, and developed a
comprehensive regulatory and supervisory framework that caters to its unique
characteristics. Over the next decade, Malaysia's continued and resolute focus
in developing leading edge services and products, robust regulatory
infrastructure with strong global integration and skilled talent in managing and
innovating Shariah compliant products, will see the Malaysian Islamic financial
sector further strengthen its position as a key international Islamic finance
powerhouse.
