Towards an Islamic financial system: a case study of the IDB (Ph.D. Thesis)

The primary purpose of this thesis is to create a theory for evaluating and improving upon Islamic development banks, utilizing the current Islamic Development Bank (IDB) as a case study. The IDB's performance was analyzed within the bounds of financial, economic, social, and technology development functions. Three different perspectives were chosen to evaluate the IDB: the opinion of the staff (supply), the input of the Governor (demand), and a financial and statistical method of analysis. The research here indicates that the IDB is still in the development and growth stage.
