A critical reference source for decision makers in the global Islamic finance industry, providing strategic insights from Ernst & Young Dear Banking & Finance Leader, It is with great pleasure that we present to you the 9th annual edition of the World Islamic Banking Competitiveness Report 2012/13, developed in collaboration with leading global professional services and advisory firm Ernst & Young, and exclusively launched onsite at the 19th Annual World Islamic Banking Conference (WIBC 2012) during a specially convened WIBC plenary session held on the 10th of December 2012 in the Kingdom of Bahrain. More than 1,200 industry leaders from over 50 countries attended WIBC 2012 to chart new directions for the global Islamic finance industry, continuing WIBCs longstanding tradition of shaping the future of Islamic finance. Despite the challenging global economic environment, leading Islamic financial institutions have been able to sustain their growth ambitions. The industry, with its increasingly international footprint, continues to demonstrate its resilience and competitiveness, while the range of Shariah-compliant products and services available globally has significantly widened and deepened. The rapid growth and the intensification of the industrys internationalisation highlight the dynamic nature of the industry and underscore the increasing efforts of Islamic financial institutions to meet the growing demands of a global economy. However, in order to sustain growth over the long term, there is a need to put in place prudent legal and regulatory policies together with sound and efficient business frameworks that will further boost the resilience and success of the Islamic financial sector. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to Ernst & Young and their world renowned Islamic Financial Services Team for investing their considerable talent and resources in developing the World Islamic Banking Competitiveness Report 2012/13. The Report, titled Growing Beyond: DNA of Successful Transformation, analyzes key strategies that leading Islamic financial institutions must adopt in order to ensure continued stability and success amidst the challenges of slowing growth and declining profitability. Established as a critical reference resource for key industry players, thought leaders and policy makers in the global Islamic banking and finance industry, we hope that the analysis in this years Report will provide practical, constructive and valuable insights which will be useful in your own strategic planning activities and will assist your organization in its quest for success as the Islamic banking and finance industry seeks to adapt to the new dynamics of global finance. To find out more on how your organization can play a part in this important research initiative in the future, please e-mail sophie@megaevents.net Yours sincerely,

Executive brief
Islamic banking assets with commercial banks globally grew to $1.3 trillion in 2011, suggesting an average annual growth of 19% over past four years (2011: 24%). The top four markets account for 84% of industry assets. The Islamic banking growth story continues to be positive, growing 50% faster than the overall banking sector. High potential international markets each in different stages of development and therefore requiring different penetration strategies - include Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Qatar, Turkey and Indonesia. This year, we launch the EY Islamic Banking Universe that tracks industry performance across core Islamic finance markets with a combined GDP of $5 trillion in 2011. Islamic banking assets are forecast to grow beyond the milestone of $2 trillion by 2014. It is however a different story when it comes to profitability. The industrys average ROE was 12% compared to 15% for conve ntional in 2011. Islamic banks continue to grapple with multiple challenges relating to sub-scale operation, asset quality, negative operating income from core activities and a weak risk culture. The severity of performance challenge has prompted several institutions to initiate wide-ranging transformation programs. We call it the new 3 Rs for the industry: Regulatory transformation involving compliance risk, capital optimization, integrated balance sheet management and liquidity management Risk transformation around Sharia governance, single data management framework, segment specific risk models and fund transfer pricing capabilities Retail banking transformation strengthening customer centric operating model, channel integration and technology enablement The turnaround could take 2-3 years and shareholders and management need to be making commitments now to capitalize on the positive outlook. Successful transformation around 3 Rs could potentially increase the profit pool of Islamic banks by 25% by 2015. Beyond numbers, Sharia governance and responsible innovation require urgent attention, and sukuk is developing to be an effe ctive instrument for capital management and growth. The industry is still in transitory stage and a lot more needs to be done to demonstrate the impact of Sharia compliant system on businesses and economies. The coming up of populous and diverse markets like Indonesia, Egypt and Pakistan would help and regulatory authorities and multilateral institutions will need to play a more central role to facilitate this transition.

Kuala Lumpurs audacious financial sector plan could see Islamic financing assets growing to 40% of the total industry by 2020. A vibrant sukuk market, anticipated consolidation among Islamic banks, Sharia transformation of developmental institutions, private pension scheme, and tax and regulatory reforms are all steps in the same direction.
Bahrains unique Islamic banking proposition is guided by four strategic priorities: 1) Regulatory clarity across major existing and emerging Islamic finance areas 2) Empowering institutions through skills development 3) Consolidation amongst market players 4) Standard setting initiatives facilitated through industry infrastructure institutions

Retail technology will emerge as both an enabler and a differentiator despite all forms of capital expenditure being under heavy scrutiny
Technology to comply
As new regulatory requirements take effect, Islamic banks will need to become more data intensive. The quality and extent of data expected, the
connectivity between functions, the level of risk assessment and the speed of delivery will prompt organization-wide change programs

Islamic banks need to implement new systems for effective collection, management and mining of customer data
