Implications of ICT for Islamic Finance and Economics

Islamic economics and finance, grounded in ethical and value-based principles, play a significant role in the financial choices of over 1.9 billion Muslims worldwide. As the industry rapidly grows—surpassing US$4.5 trillion in assets—it is becoming an increasingly influential part of the global financial system, particularly in Asia and the Middle East. At the same time, the widespread adoption of information and communication technologies (ICT) is transforming how financial services are delivered and accessed. Exploring the intersection of ICT and Islamic finance is crucial for understanding how digital innovation can enhance financial inclusion, transparency, and compliance within a values-based economic framework. This convergence holds the potential to reshape the future of ethical finance on a global scale. Implications of ICT for Islamic Finance and Economics investigates the implications of ICT for Islamic finance and economics from a multidisciplinary perspective. Through a multidisciplinary lens, it examines how digital innovation can enhance financial inclusion, operational efficiency, and ethical compliance in value-driven financial systems. Covering topics such as participation banks, Shariah principles, and Monte Carlo simulations, this book is an excellent resource for financial practitioners, business leaders, economists, professionals, researchers, scholars, academicians, and more.
