Recenzje

'Due to its religious foundation, Islamic Banking has reached a successful and unprecedented expansion among Muslims all over the world during the last few years. Not only is the high growth rate astonishing, but also many conventional banks just converted or are about to convert. Islamic banks are facing similar but not identical risks as conventional banks. This book is the first one on the market that explains in a detailed and comprehensive way the peculiarities of risk analysis for Islamic banks. Therefore, it is an indispensable source for every risk manager of Islamic banking and finance.' - Andreas Jäk, Vice President Business Development, IRIS integrated risk management ag, Zürich, Switzerland
