As one of the fastest-growing financial industries, Islamic finance continues to grow in size and influence spreading far beyond the Middle East into Muslim-majority countries in Asia and Africa, as well as parts of Europe and beyond. As a sector, total assets have exceeded $2 trillion and is expected to reach $3.8 trillion by 2023.

Greater awareness of Islamic finance, alongside improved legal and regulatory structures in many markets, is supporting the growth of the sector.

Survey results

Ethical banking is a way for consumers to manage their finances while promoting environmentally and socially conscious practices. Our research shows that ethical motivations are a primary driver for the younger Muslim community. 74% of respondents confirm it is important that the investments their bank makes using their money are ethical.

It’s not ‘All or Nothing’

While some will choose to only use Islamic banks, many are flexible and open to investing in compliant or ethical portfolios within conventional banks. The results show that only 47% of respondents feel it’s important for their entire bank to be Shariah-compliant, meaning that adding specific Islamic finance offerings as part of an existing portfolio would be well-received.
