A detailed look at the fast-growing field of Islamic finance and
banking

The guiding principle of Islamic finance has existed throughout
Islamic history, yet modern Islamic banking has been around for a
relatively short period of time. Author Amr Mohamed El Tiby is an
expert in this field, and with this new book, he reveals how you
can benefit from the use of Islamic banking strategies in your
financial endeavors.

Engaging and accessible, Islamic Banking shows the impact
this approach has made on conventional banking since the 1950s, and
why it's such a big player in the current market. It offers a
unique look at various aspects of this field, including the salient
features of Islamic banking that distinguishes it from non-Islamic
banking, the development of the regulatory bodies and supervisory
agencies that support the Islamic banking system, and much more. It
also explores the nature of risk in Islamic banking and the issues
of capital adequacy, corporate governance, transparency, and risk
associated with Islamic banking.

* Discusses the history and development of Islamic finance

* Offers straightforward strategies for implementing Islamic
finance into your business activities

* Sheds light on the effect of the global economic crisis on
Islamic banks versus conventional banks

Filled with in-depth insights and expert advice, this detailed
