Summary: With conventional banks in the west opening Islamic windows to service their Islamic customers, the establishment of the first discrete Islamic retail bank in Europe, and the conversion of entire banking functions to Islamic alternatives, Islamic retail products are increasingly moving to the mainstream. Offerings of Islamic mortgages, savings, insurance and retail investment products are part of a global expansion of the financial industry which are increasingly competitive with conventional financial products.
Islamic Retail Banking and Finance is the first book of its kind bringing together the leading banks, lawyers, accountants and retail product providers who have been involved in the rapid expansion of the Islamic retail industry throughout the globe.
