The profile of existing depositors is examined as well as those seeking Shari'ah-compliant finance. Risk management and regulatory issues are discussed in detail, notably how constraints on liquidity can be overcome. Overall, the book makes an important contribution to the empirical literature on Islamic finance which will be of interest to academic researchers, as well as bankers and other professionals."-Rodney Wilson, Emeritus Professor, Durham University, UK; Professor, INCEIF, Malaysia"Islamic banking in particular has developed common standards and practices,and has attracted the interest of players and investors outside the Muslim community. Yet, its economics and implications for financial stability are generally not well understood. Islamic Banking in Indonesia makes a significant contribution to our understanding by linking its foundations not only to the fundamentals of Islamic banking, but also to classical Western banking thought. It provides a convincing analysis of the structural weaknesses of conventional finance, and the role of monetary policy in causing misallocation of resources and boom-and-bust cycles."-Prof. Dr. Mohammad Rusydi, Director, Australian Centre for Islamic Financial Studies, Brisbane, Australia"This comprehensive volume is a collection of essays covering a wide range of topics on Islamic banking in Indonesia.
