This research evaluates long term finance programs in Islamic and traditional Arab banking industries. Islamic banking practices such as musharaka, mudaraba, murabaha and muzaraha are examined, as well as the practice of lending within the traditional banking industry. A survey of long term finance programs in both the Islamic and traditional banking industries was carried out, and the results suggest that there is little variation between groups and subgroups of banks in terms of size, growth, ownership and long term finance program performance. The performance is measured in terms of proportion of resources, involvement, required rate of return and the degree of success in long term finance programs. Other differences between Islamic banks and traditional banks include the length of time in which they have been in operation, growth, involvement and the required rate of return on long term finance programs.
