Kuala Lumpur, MALAYSIA, 30 July 2024 – The Islamic Financial Services Board (IFSB) is pleased to announce the 30th dissemination of country-level Prudential and Structural Islamic Financial Indicators (PSIFIs) data from Q4 2013 to Q1 2024 on the Islamic banking sector.
The PSIFIs project currently compiles data on the Islamic banking sector from 26 jurisdictions: Afghanistan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Brunei, Egypt, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Morocco, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom.
The PSIFIs banking data provides sectoral country-level data covering full-fledged Islamic banks and Islamic windows of conventional banks in participating jurisdictions. The database offers prudential soundness indicators, including, but not limited to, capital adequacy, asset quality, earnings, leverage, and liquidity. It also provides additional prudential indicators that facilitate analysis of the concentration of banks’ exposures and a set of structural indicators that capture the overall size and structure of the Islamic banking sector.
The IFSB Secretariat regularly conducts capacity-building workshops with the country representatives of the Task Force, focusing on enhancing clarity, completeness and consistency of compilation and reporting of indicators across jurisdictions, as well as discussing regulatory developments that have implications for the PSIFIs.
The PSIFIs Database, full set with metadata, is now available on the PSIFIs portal at the IFSB website, www.ifsb.org/data-metadata.
