Islamic finance needs to diversify
Estimates of the size of the industry seem to peak around $1,000bn although more conservative estimates indicate that the overall size of the industry is nearer $750bn.
Equally, the rate of growth of the industry is put at somewhere between 10% and 20% each year thereby making it one of the fastest growing areas of finance.
Even in mid-2009 industry experts are still bandying these same figures around when it is clear that the industry as a whole suffered the same kind of shrinkage as the rest of the financial world.
