The role of Islamic banks in economic and social development with particular reference to the Sudanese experience (Ph.D. Thesis)

Sudan is the focal point of this study which investigates the role of Islamic banks in economic and social development through theoretical analysis and empirical research. In Sudan, reliance on agricultural and small business allows the Sudanese Islamic banks to establish special services to develop these sectors. The Faisal Islamic Bank of Sudan is used as a case in point. The thesis seeks to provide a better understanding of ways in which Islamic banks can increase their effectiveness by providing guidelines on the various issues and how best to respond to them.
