Islamic banking industry is flourishing in Pakistan with a rapid pace. Currently, it is holding more than 8% share of the total banking industry in the country. As Pakistan is a developing economy, every sector has to contribute into its economic growth. Banking industry is also playing its role in the economic growth of Pakistan which includes conventional banks and Islamic banks. At present, there are 5 full-fledged Islamic banks along with other conventional banks offering Islamic banking services, are operating in Pakistan.This study is to examine the role of Islamic banking industry in the economic growth of Pakistan. For this purpose, the financial data of all 5 Islamic banks has been obtained from their financial statements from 3rd quarter of 2006 to 4th quarter of 2011 and the data of real GDP of the country has been taken from the source of State Bank of Pakistan. Different statistical tools were used to check the impact and role of Islamic banking industry on the economic growth of the country. It has been found that the financial performance of Islamic banking industry has a very positive impact on the economic growth because Islamic banking is attracting majority of the banking consumers on the basis of religion. Whereas, profitability of Islamic banking industry has very low impact as because Islamic banks are new in the country and they are struggling to earn profits for their consumers as per the teachings of Sharia'h. Similarly, asset quality of Islamic banking industry has no impact on the economic growth of the country. The reason is that the asset quality of Islamic banks is equivalent to the asset quality of conventional banks and it has no independent impact on the economic growth of Pakistan. Overall results show that with minor changes in the financial structure of Islamic banking industry and by increasing this industry's financial efficiency, it can play a major role in the economic development of Pakistan.

However, in Southeast Asia, where there are large Muslim communities, Islamic banks are to be found only in Malaysia and the Philippines. Nevertheless, there is considerable interest in the possibility of establishing banking institutions and practices consonant with Islam in other countries in the region. In this book, scholars evaluate the role and performance of Islamic banking in Southeast Asia and examine the problems and prospects of establishing Islamic banks in countries where such banking does not exist.

The Handbook of Islamic Banking comprises 25 studies by leading international experts on Islamic banking and finance specially commissioned to analyse the various debates and the current state of play in the field. From its origins thirty years ago, Islamic banking has expanded rapidly to become a distinctive and fast growing segment of the international banking and capital markets. Despite this expansion, Islamic banking still remains poorly understood in many parts of the Muslim world and continues to be a mystery in much of the West. This comprehensive Handbook provides a succinct analysis of the workings of Islamic banking and finance, accessible to a wide range of readers. At the same time, it seeks to bring the current research agenda and the main issues on Islamic banking before a wider audience. Islamic banking offers, as an alternative to conventional interest-based financing methods, a wide variety of financial instruments and investment vehicles based on profit-and-loss sharing arrangements. These are all explored in detail along with other subjects such as governance and risk management, securities and investment, structured financing, accounting and regulation, economic development and globalization. M. Kabir Hassan, Mervyn Lewis and the other contributors have created an authoritative and original reference work, which will contribute to a wider understanding of Islamic banking as well as provoking further discussion and research. It will be invaluable to all scholars, researchers and policymakers with an interest in this subject.
