Global Finance Names the World’s Best Islamic Financial Institutions 2013
NEW YORK, April 19, 2013 - Global Finance magazine has announced its sixth annual awards for the World’s Best Islamic
Financial Institutions. A full report on the selections will appear in the June issue of Global Finance. The winners of
this year’s awards are those banks that contributed to the growth of Islamic financing and successfully met their
customers’ needs for Shariah-compliant products, while creating the foundation for continued growth and safety in the
future, with modern and efficient delivery channels.
All selections were made by the editorial team of Global Finance, after extensive consultations with bankers, corporate
finance executives and analysts throughout the world. In selecting these top banks, we considered factors that range
from the quantitative objective to the informed subjective. Quantitative criteria included growth in assets,
profitability, geographic reach, strategic relationships, new business development and innovation in products. Among the
subjective criteria considered were reputation, customer satisfaction, and the opinions of analysts and others involved
in the industry. The mix of these factors yields leading banks that may not be the largest, oldest or the most
diversified in a given country, region or product, but rather the best—the banks with which customers around the world
would most likely want to do business. Click here to read more>>
