Abstract

The establishment of Bank Islam Malaysia Bhd.(BIMB)in 1983 marked the beginning of a new era in the Malaysian financial systems.The introduction of Islamic banking in Malaysia has been viewed by many muslims as an alternative to the already existing interest-based financial institutions and by non-Muslims as a healthy development that adds variety which renders commercial banking a highly competitive industry. The Malaysian ecperience has shown that Islamic banking is a viable proposition.That the track record of BIMB is fairly impressive,however,does not necessarily mean that all is well with Islamic banking in the country.An attempt is made in this paper to review the performance of BIMB during the last six years and to draw lessons from it.It is hoped that the present analysia will provide a basic for charting out new directions.
