Background and Literature Overview

There has been large scale growth into the Islamic banking in Muslim countries and around the

world during the last twenty years as the performance growth is influenced by factors

including the introduction of broad macroeconomic and structural reforms in financial systems,

the liberalization of capital movements, privatization, the global integration of financial

markets, and the introduction of innovative and new Islamic products. Islamic finance is now

reaching new levels of sophistication. However, there has been presence of Islamic financial

system with its identifiable instruments and markets is still very much at an early stage of

evolution. Many problems and challenges relating to Islamic instruments, financial markets,

and regulations must be addressed and resolved. In Islamic banking rules apply which differ

from those in traditional banking as there consequences of Islamic banking for financial

operations as there goes in examining in several Islamic procedures as being introduced by

Pakistan's banking sector ever since the year 1985. Considering the drastic change in

procedures, (Cornelisse and Steffelaar, 2008 p. 687) the effect of Islamization on the banking

sector performance has been moderate. One reason for the reality, is that banks in Pakistan

have consistently opted for financial instruments closely resembling interest based finance

aside, certain behavior did have determined within large extent by the fact that these banking

sectors are owned by the state of Pakistan (Cornelisse and Steffelaar, 2008 p. 687).

Objectives

banking sector in Pakistan, to discuss basic features of Islamic finance and banking, there is a

need to introduce Islamic financial instruments in order to compare such to existing Western

financial instruments and discuss the legal problems that investors in Pakistan can encounter.

Indeed, there is importance of having in empirical assessment of performance of Islamic

banking in Pakistan which there will highlight regulations, challenges and problems in the

Islamic banking market. Thus, the main objectives is to review the growth of the Islamic

banking on global basis, assess its performance based on latest financial data available,

discuss its salient products/services, evaluate for departures from traditional Islamic principles,

to offer suggestions for improvement based on the experience of the authors and evidence
provided by literature studies in research area. Furthermore, the need to integrate several

performance of Islamic banking in Pakistan, recognizing in certain banks in Pakistan, the

assuming performance of the banking sector, the linking of reliable literature information

towards banking performance will be imperative in this research denoting to research

questions as well as hypothesis

Methodology

For the research method, the need for the study to demonstrate understanding of performance

factors linked in the banking sectors of Pakistan, regarding organization and facts towards

Islamic banking operations through the research process of collating cases from within

Pakistan context as there may imply to performance measures and analysis in determining

study factors that influence performance involvement of banks. The methodology will be in

utilization of certain case study analysis allowing statistical variation of performance analysis

of Islamic banks as well as the using of several secondary resources, the study endeavors to

the application of awareness of stable financial performance of such Islamic banks and how
methods assimilation is useful into the research practice. The Islamic banks will persist in

taking the easy and risk adverse route and avoid profit and loss sharing contracts as the desire

to withhold information must be negligible and systems must be put in place which allows

efficient and open profit and loss share instruments to develop and be able to create

suggestions as to how venture capital can be developed into Pakistan setting, without fear of

banking operations collapsing or being restricted in the performance development.
