KARACHI (PR): Islamic Banking in Pakistan has witnessed significant growth during the last decade and now constitutes over 10 per cent of the country’s banking system with an asset base of over Rs. 900 billion and a network of more than 1100 branches.
Given the interest of all stakeholders and the high-level of financial exclusion in the country, it is believed that this expansionary trend is likely to continue and the industry is well set to double its market share by 2020.
