LL M. (Commercial Law) / It is believed that Islamic banking and finance is currently the fastest growing system of banking in the world. In 2010, Islamic finance institutions reported an estimated USD 1 trillion in global assets, and an estimated growth rate of 15%.1 Many countries have taken notice of this growth, and have attempted to implement measures that will allow them to best reap their share of the spoils.
