Research on Islamic Banking, September 2009

The recent developments in Islamic banking, in particular the ruling on Tawarruq, once again highlight the crucial role played by scholars in the industry. With this in mind, Funds@Work AG, a strategy consulting firm, has undertaken comprehensive research covering roughly 180 scholars and their involvement in GCC and international Shariah boards. 

The report shows that the top 5 scholars "make up at least 30.15% of the entire universe of almost 956 board positions". Funds@Work has kindly made this research available to Islamicbanker.com, which can be accessed by clicking here.
