With the global financial crisis raising doubts over the world's conventional financial system, the banking industry in Indonesia stands to benefit from the global downturn and expects to continue rapid growth in the coming years. The financial crisis is having no negative impact on the development of Islamic banking in the country. So far, Islamic banks have not showed any weakening of their performance and we expect both assets and lending would grow at a CAGR of over 50% between 2009 and 2013. This optimistic view is based on its very nature (avoid involvement of interest rates), extremely low penetration and a healthy growth in lending over the past two years.
While it makes sense for global financial institutions to continue growth, exploit the opportunities offered by the Islamic banking market despite the financial crisis, and keep themselves regularly updated against the status of Islamic banking market in some of the emergent countries, it is worthwhile to keep eyes on developments in Islamic banking markets. Keeping the same fact in mind, RNCOS decided to research on one of the fastest growing Islamic banking destinations - Indonesia - and launched a report, "Indonesian Islamic Banking Outlook to 2013”.
The report gives an extensive research and in-depth analysis on the Islamic banking market in Indonesia and helps clients to analyze the opportunities being opened by it. Based on this analysis, the report gives a forecast of the market intended as a rough guide to the direction in which the market is likely to move. The report provides 4-year industry forecast (2009-2013) on various key banking performance indicators, including:
- Islamic banking assets
- Islamic bank financing
- Islamic bank deposits
