Home Categories Tags Bloggers Team Blogs Search Print PDF Islamic Banking: An Idea whose time has come By Pervez Said on Sep 17 in Islamic Banking Victor Hugo once said 'You can stop an invading army but you can't stop the invasion of an idea whose time has come'. The invasion of the idea named “Islamic Banking” is eminent throughout the world. In the decade prior to the financial crisis, the Shari’ah compliant financial system showed exceptional returns. Assets doubled almost every two years and net income doubled every year. Even during the World Economic Recession, this idea has invaded many hearts and souls in the midst of economic recession & dismal times whereby the crisis clearly favoured the Islamic banking system compared to the conventional system. According to a recent IMF study, Islamic banks performed better than conventional ones in terms of profitability, credit and asset growth. The Islamic banks’ profitability crunch worldwide was less than 10 percent, whereas the conventional banks’ profitability slumped more than 35 percent. The reports depicted stronger credit growth compared to conventional banks in almost all countries throughout the decade, suggesting that the system has great potential for further market share expansion and a possible contribution to market stability given the available credit. Assets also reflected a similar trend, which were less affected and grew on twice the pace of conventional banks during the period of economic crisis. Because the global recession is an on-going phenomenon, these results are conditional; however, the conclusion may be supported by characteristics of the Islamic finance system. The growth in the market share of Islamic banking in Pakistan has also been impressive. This can be seen by looking at the market share achieved by other countries over time. The Islamic Banking sector in Pakistan has a 7% share of the total banking industry. This share has been achieved in just 7 years of the launch of State Bank of Pakistan’s Islamic banking initiative. When you compare this to larger Muslim economies like Indonesia, Bahrain or Malaysia, our growth rate, on an annualized basis, has been much higher. The industry has grown from just 6 or 7 branches in 2002 to a cumulative branch network of approximately 700 branches, covering all the major cities of the country, in a very short span of time. The growth trends of Islamic Banking in Pakistan clearly show a bright and prosperous future of this banking sector in the country. CHINA WHOLESALE However, we are facing challenges like any other new industry, which despite being new is actually a very competitive China Wholesale market. Islamic Banking is based on the principles of Islamic finance and people have very little knowledge about these concepts. This in itself gives rise to a number of challenges, for instance establishing credibility and spreading awareness. Capacity building is another major challenge. Conventional banking is being taught in numerous universities whereas very few institutions are offering formalized education in Islamic Banking thus production of quality 10018.49 75.72 www.checksunlimited.com human capital is another challenge for our growing sector.
