Les reseaux de la finance islamique en Afrique

In: Politique étrangère: PE ; revue trimestrielle publiée par l'Institut Français des Relations Internationales, Heft 4

Abstract

The Islamic financial system has made its mark. Born from the awakening of political Islam, financial globalization gave Islamic banking a strong boost. Islamic banking is still poorly represented in Africa but it could easily undergo further expansion in the near future via investment banking and the accelerated development of microfinance. This would open up interesting prospects for sovereign wealth funds and foreign investment. Adapted from the source document.
