Recently, the rate has slowed down considerably. The slow growth period, which Chinese policymakers refer to as the 'new-normal', has created enormous curiosity among scholars and policymakers. In particular, scholars often tend to project if China is destined to follow Japan's fate. Insufficient reforms in the banking sector in commensuration with the real economy in Japan resulted in an unprecedented financial catastrophe. Similarly, an asymmetric development between the Chinese banking sector and the real economy is observed. This leads to an interesting question: is China destined to meet Japan's legacy? This Element attempts to answer this question. In so doing, it delves deep into the banking sector reforms of China. The Element concludes that China is not on course to meet an immediate financial chaos, but the country needs further banking reforms to avoid a potential crisis.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52522643259665,"sku":"NLS9781009244800","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781009244800.jpg?v=1760578550"},{"product_id":"towards-a-post-covid-global-financial-system-book-m-kabir-hassan-9781800716261","title":"Towards a Post-Covid Global Financial System","description":"The impact of COVID-19 has exposed major cracks in the global financial system and has severely undermined global financial stability.

The IEF industry has seen significant growth over the last two decades, primarily driven by the growth of Islamic banking. However, it has faced various challenges including competition from traditional finance, regulatory and accounting issues, harmonization of practices, and the impact of global crises.The collection highlights inconsistent findings on the performance of Islamic financial institutions compared to conventional banks, and the need to explore new dimensions beyond just comparisons. Lastly, it also emphasizes the importance of expanding Islamic finance beyond banking into non-banking sectors and using technology to improve financial inclusion. In conclusion, there is a noteworthy dominance of Islamic banking (over 70% of IEF activities) and research needs on leveraging fintech, automation and blockchain to expand the scope of Islamic finance.The volume provides an overview of the 20 papers included in the special issue, which are divided into five themes: (1) Islamic finance and disclosure governance, (2) market volatility linkages in Organization of Islamic Cooperation nations and institutions, (3) financial inclusion, efficiency, and growth in Islamic banks, (4) risk metrics of novel Islamic finance instruments, and (5) contemporary research applications.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52648188576017,"sku":"NLS9789819813728","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}]},{"product_id":"mobile-banking-and-access-to-public-services-in-bangladesh-book-m-kabir-hassan-9781009447096","title":"Mobile Banking and Access to Public Services in Bangladesh","description":"This Element examines the role of mobile banking in accessing public services in Bangladesh.

Based on a survey of 300 people, the study finds that mobile banking facilitates access to public services, which is beneficial and effective for both rural and urban users, as technology can increase the quality of work. Despite the benefits, some individuals are reluctant to use the service due to high transaction costs and a lack of digital literacy.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52661601239313,"sku":"NLS9781009447096","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53566802100497,"sku":"NIN9781009447096","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781009447096.jpg?v=1762267676"},{"product_id":"fintech-in-islamic-financial-institutions-book-m-kabir-hassan-9783031149405","title":"FinTech in Islamic Financial Institutions","description":"This book explores several challenges facing FinTech in Islamic financial institutions.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52672383058193,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52672383484177,"sku":"NLS9783031149405","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9783031149405.jpg?v=1762294544"},{"product_id":"management-of-islamic-finance-book-m-kabir-hassan-9781787564046","title":"Management of Islamic Finance","description":"Islamic finance has emerged as an alternative to century-old conventional financial instruments to cater to cater to the needs of Muslims as well as non-Muslims. The industry has seen significant growth over the last two decades and has been facing omnidirectional challenges with respect to regulation, competition, and compatibility. These challenges have presented worthy debate on the principles, practices, and performance in Islamic finance globally. In this issue, we have presented issues relevant to the most recent debate on the performance, practices, and principles of the Islamic finance industry as a whole, covering eleven distinct issues. Authors have contributed to the existing body of knowledge on risk management in Islamic banks, diversification in Islamic equity markets, performance and acceptance of Islamic microcredit and Islamic banking services, long-term corporate finance using sukuk, and the social development agenda via the development of financial intuitions, SME financing, and financial inclusion. Selected topics cover the principles in relevant areas, focus on recent practices, and highlight performance on certain influential areas. The issue is aimed at academicians, researchers, and policymakers who are working in the Islamic finance industry and who would like to explore more.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52679599718673,"sku":"NLS9781787564046","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781787564046.jpg?v=1762310962"},{"product_id":"handbook-of-islamic-banking-book-m-kabir-hassan-9781845420833","title":"The Handbook of Islamic Banking","description":"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.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52750879883537,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52750880342289,"sku":"GOR014608495","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781845420833.jpg?v=1763554895"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-m-kabir-hassan.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
