Islamic finance, Islamic banking, BahrainIslamic Finance is often called Sharia-compliant finance, highlighting the main difference between conventional and Islamic Finance. While both types of Finance must obey the country’s laws in which they are offered, Sharia-compliant Finance is also designed to be compatible with the laws of Islam.

According to Statista, in 2021, the total assets of global Islamic banking amounted to about $2.8 trillion. The total value of global Islamic banking assets was projected to continue to increase.
