Prospects and challenges in the development of Islamic Finance in Bangladesh

In line with the mandate of the IFSB to promote the development of the Islamic financial services industry in and among its member countries, this publication aims to share the prospects and challenges, initiatives and experiences, in developing Islamic finance, with specific focus on the Bangladesh experience. The chapter contributors have kindly shared their views and experiences, initially at a Seminar organised by the IFSB and hosted by Bangladesh Bank in Dhaka in September 2013, and the key ideas and discussions in the Seminar are now documented in this publication.

The publication has benefited from the review of Professor Volker Nienhaus, and a team at the IFSB Secretariat, headed by assistant Secretary-General, Zahid ur Rehman Khokher, and Members of the Secretariat, Katrina Md Ariffin, Siham Ismail and Rosmawatie Abd Halim. The latter two have been instrumental in the editing, designing and printing of the publication.
