MALAYSIAN NEW ENTRANTS MAKE IMPRESSIVE START

摘要

The Islamic financial industry has seen a significant number of entrants since our last survey, which clearly demonstrates the expansion potential in the industry despite the global financial crisis and the consequent economic slowdown.rnMany of the newcomers in this year's list are spread across the board, indicating a broad range of product categories and geographic diversity, especially in Asia and the Middle East. New shoots of Islamic financial institutions are also emerging in countries such as Kazakhstan, Syria and the UK, where access to Islamic finance services has not been widely available.
