While Islamic banking sector has demonstrated its resilience aftermath the global financial crises by delivering a strong average growth of 17.1% in 2008 to 2011, the latest development showed a moderation pace of growth with an average of 13.8% during 2011 to 2014, or in particular 10% for 2013 and 2014.
I would say that the worst of the financial crisis in a narrow sense is over. The main task of European authorities this year and last year was to stabilise financial markets. This has been largely successful: markets are much calmer and have more confidence in European recovery now. The main task next year will be to get the economy going.
