Risk management is one of the biggest, most controversial issues
in Islamic finance, yet it remains under-researched. Many
uncertainties exist for which the answers are still unclear, yet
will play a large role in shaping the industry's future. This book
digs deep into current ideas and practices to discover what's being

Effective risk management in Islamic banking deserves priority
attention. Unless the industry develops its own genuine risk
management architecture, it cannot achieve its full potential and
the viability needed for a more resilient financial system than the
debunked Wall Street model. Mapping the Risks and Risk
Management Practices in Islamic Banking provides a deep,
authoritative analysis of where the industry is today and where it
needs to develop.
