This Palgrave Pivot empirically analyzes the role of conventional and
interest-free Islamic banking in the growth process of developing
Islamic nations. After explaining the theoretical background of this
dual banking system structure, the book then empirically analyzes growth
in a variety of sectors - such as agriculture, manufacturing, and
tourism - in the predominantly Muslim countries of Turkey, Malaysia,
Indonesia, and Qatar. Finally, the book concludes with a detailed
comparison of policy efficiency surrounding the dual bank structure,
providing advice from more successful countries that can be applied to
those still struggling to find a balance.
