SZABIST Factors Affecting Growth of Islamic Banking in Pakistan

1. INTRODUCTION Islamic financing has shown tremendous growth in the past few years and is continuously flourishing. This phenomenon, as the world has witnessed, is becoming interesting for financial institutions all over the world. Islamic banking has laid a number of milestones in a very short time period as compared to the conventional banks. There are about 300 Islamic financial institutions across 75 countries. Islamic banking is basically a system that has zero-based interest, equity participation, joint ventures, mutual funds, leasing, innovation and a promising rate of return. Islamic banking replaces interest-based system with profit and loss sharing (PLS) and interest-free banking (M. Mansoor Khan, 2008) The basic ideology of Islamic finance is socio-economic justice and benevolence (Al-Adle Walihsan) (Warsame, 2009). The thrust for Islamic Banking is founded on the desire to submit to the Divine Instructions on all transactions, particularly those involving exchange of money for money. However, it would be quite unfair to limit Islamic Banking to elimination of Riba only (Bank Alfalah Limited, 2006-2007). The Islamic banks conduct their affairs within the limit of the laws of Shariah and to comply with its overall objectives. (kahf, 2004) Pakistan is a country with more than 188 million residents and among them more than 95% are Muslims (CIA, 2012), so thrive for shariah compliant services are very natural for them. Pakistan economic activities are being very slow paced in past few years but shariah compliant financial services have shown notable growth rate even higher than conventional financial institutions. The establishment of a full-fledged Islamic Banking Department at SBP to focus on all Islamic Banking issues provided the industry with necessary tools to grow and emerge as a preferred choice of the customers. SBPs contribution to promote Islamic banking as a parallel

system, operating at a level playing field with commercial banking, is aimed at building a broad based financial system in the country to enable all segments of the population to access financial services and play their role in the overall economic development. The total assets of the Islamic banking industry in Pakistan were over Rs. 225 billion as of 30th June, 2008 which accounted for a market share of 4.5% of total banking industry assets. The market share of deposits was 4.2%. Total branch network of the industry comprised of more than 3581 branches with presence in over 50 cities & towns covering all the four provinces of the country and AJK (Pervaiz Said, 2008). Currently, total assets of the Islamic banking industry in Pakistan have increased to Rs 568 billion and total deposits worth Rs 463 billion. According to SBP, Islamic banking sector is enormously growing at the rate of 30 percent in Pakistan. At present five full-fledged Islamic banks are operating in the country there are 841 bank branches in 70 districts across the country. (Raza, 2012) 2.

Websites of banks Financial statements of banks

The financial statements will be obtained from websites of banks and financial ratios will be used to analyze data and measure the performance of banks. These ratios have been used by number of researchers and an advantage of this technique is that it eliminates the disparities among banks regardless of their size and volume (Waheed Akhter, 2011). Profitability ratios o Return on Assets (ROA)= Net Profit/Total Assets o Return on Equity (ROE)= Net Profit/Equity. o Cost income Ratio (COSR)= Total cost/Total income Liquidity ratios o Net Loans to Asset Ratio (NLAR)= Net loans/Asset Ratio o Liquid Assets to Customer Deposits and Short Term Funds Ratio (LaCDSF)=
Liquid Asset/Customer deposit and short term funds

o Net Loans to Deposits and Borrowing (NiTDB): Net Loans/Total Deposits and
Borrowing

Credit risk o Common Equity to Total Assets (CeTA)= Common Equity/Assets o Total Equity to Net Loans (TeNL) = Total Equity/Net Loans o Impaired Loans to Gross Loans (ImGL) = Impaired Loans/Gross Loans
