Dynamic evolution of Islamic finance



What is Islamic finance today? What is its role
in the funding of Muslim countries and what is its weight in
circuits of global finance? To give an answer to these
questions should be considered a double difficulty. On the one hand,
statistics on the evolution of Islamic assets worldwide are
few and often incomplete. Supervisory authorities
the countries concerned do not publish yet relatively few
Data in this segment of the financial sector, for reasons sometimes
regulations, but more often for technical reasons. according to
The Banker (5 October 2007), only 42.1% of banks that operate
this market publish data on their Islamic assets.
Thus, the numbers can be collected based, in part at least,
on estimates. Furthermore, products, institutions and
Islamic financial circuits constituting a particular set
heterogeneous, the data may cover very realities
different and, therefore, are difficult to compare.
