Islamic finance plays a significant role in promoting financial inclusion by providing access to financial services for individuals and businesses that may otherwise be excluded due to conventional banking practices. By adhering to principles such as risk-sharing, prohibition of interest (riba), and ethical investments, Islamic finance creates opportunities for underserved populations, including those in low-income and rural areas.
In the UAE and globally, Islamic finance has been instrumental in bridging the gap between traditional banking and the needs of diverse communities. Its focus on equity-based financing and socially responsible investments makes it an effective tool for fostering economic growth and reducing inequality.
