Islamic finance in Pakistan has come a long way since its introduction in the 1970s. With a Muslim population of almost 200 million and increasing demand for Shariah compliant banking products from the grassroots level, there is no doubt that the republic's Islamic finance sector could prove to be a sound contender against flourishing Islamic finance markets such as Malaysia, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia.
Supported by the State Bank of Pakistan, the Islamic Finance news Pakistan Roadshow 2012 will be held on Tuesday 4th September and will feature prominent players from around the world to share their knowledge and expertise within the Pakistani market.
