Thus, the market share of the IB’s assets in the overall banking industry stands at a quite impressive level of 14.9 percent for 2019. Since the re-launch of the Islamic banking industry early in 2000 with merely one bank (Meezan Bank), the industry strived hard to penetrate the market with little awareness and acceptance among the general public and consumers of banking services.
