Islamic finance in Africa : the prospects for sustainable development

edited by M. Kabir Hassan (professor of finance, department of economics and finance, University of New Orleans, US), Aishath Muneeza (associate Professor, School of graduate and professional studies, INCEIF, Malaysia) and Karamo N.M. Sonko (founding chairman, Heeno International, the Gambia)

"Islamic Finance in Africa discusses the progress, issues and innovations in African Islamic financial markets. It provides a comprehensive overview of Islamic finance in Africa by exploring legal, regulatory and governance challenges while balancing the issues and innovations found in both Islamic commercial and social finance. The chapters in the book can be broadly classified into three parts. The first part covers legal, regulatory and governance developments and issues of Islamic finance in Africa, the second part deals with issues and innovations in Islamic commercial finance, and the third explores issues and innovations in Islamic social finance. The editors use a case study format to present the topic in discussion effectively and provide insight into actual or potential areas of growth. Scholars and Islamic finance stakeholders, including research and education institutes, will find this book invaluable in understanding this important topic and region. In depth case studies allow the reader to zoom into selected markets to understand issues/innovation in detail. This book also will be useful to policymakers and regional standard setting bodies, including multilateral and humanitarian agencies, in understanding the potential of Islamic finance in financial inclusion and resolving humanitarian crises"--
